Tightening of Alcohol Laws With New Fines for Drinkers
I've been here for more than 20 years – but this is easily one of the most harebrained and ridiculous ideas I have ever seen Thailand's wholly ignorant political class implement. Utter stupidity.

What sort of personality traits do you need to marry a bargirl?
Well, I married a Pattaya bar girl 20 years ago. Still very happily married now with two great kids. For those past 20 years we have lived in Bangkok (where I also work). My traits? Ambitous, tenacious, driven, successful, a family man, enjoy being with my wife, always supportive, and love a laugh. Guess you can't generalise, eh?

Is paying the bar to take a girl out of the bar justified? Or just a scam?
The truth: 20 years ago I was in the same situation. I had to pay the bar in Pattaya 20k for my girl to get out of the bar. I did pay the money. But we've now been together for 20 years, 18 of those married (all living in Thailand). I guess paying might actually be worth it?

Wise transfers
Depends what bank you send it to. In my experience, SCB is by far the easiest and quickest. Bangkok Bank used to be good but now experiences delays. Kasikorn, in my experience, useless. Endless delays with K-Bank when using Wise transfers.

Lidocaine
Hello. I broke my coccyx three years ago at Pattaya water park on a slide. In the years since it has improved through lots of lots of specific exercises and physical therapy. But I know it won't ever heal. Flying in planes can be especially difficult. Does anyone know where I can purchase Lidocaine or Lidocaine patches in Bangkok? Thank you!

Outdated 2-5pm Alcohol Ban Faces Renewed Criticism in Thailand
Ermmm, the legal basis was introduced in 1972 but it was completely ignored by everyone until Thaksin's first term as PM.

UK visit visa for wife - flight tickets
Hello all. I have searched on the forum and can't find a specific situation related to my situation. I would appreciate any advice. We are preparing documents for our planned trip soon. I live and work in Bangkok and hold a work permit. But I have a question on the flight tickets. Do I need to pay for the flight tickets (for me and wife and kids) before I apply for the UK visa for my wife? Or better to wait until after visa process? Any ideas? Thank you

Horrific. Deeply distressing. And what angers me is that the Thai authorities won't do anything meaningful and effective to prevent these terrible events to happen again and again.
