Your words, not mine. I can understand why you are stressed,Eric. Sitting down must be a challenge.

I apologise, I use a smartphone with a small typing area. Not a Nokia 2.0

Didn't misspell Dagenham. Welcome home. No wonder you're complaining about bout the cold.

Thought it might have been stressed Eric and his ladyboy entourage.

Living the dream getting paid by ladyboys.

You misplelled Dagenham.

Ladies will say anything as long as you are paying them. As you well know. I guess the ladyboys say your bum is tight too.

Not you obviously. You really are thick.

Of course you are. Hung like a race horse after hand feeding it 3 times a day.

I though that was Eskimos.

No, not at all, why do you ask? Thank you for calling me lad. Been a few years since a geriatric said that me.

Why does this concern you? Are you in the tourism business?

The broader perspective is irrelevant except to a few expats.

Most potential tourists will be completely unaware of any of that. Noone will get fined 10,000 baht.

Good for you.

Why do you feel that way? You are the one stressing about buying beers at 14:01. Not me. Doesn't bother me either way. I do have some planning skills. You must meltdown on no booze Buddhist days.

The law. Can you buy a beer at 6am in your country?

Nonsense. The high season tourist will most likely go to bars that sell booze all day, not hang out at 7/11s with the cheap Charlie's

Nobody knows that, yet. Stop stressing or buy your beers at 1:59. I recall the 7/11s in tourist areas such as Pattaya didn't worry about it a few years ago. Some sort of exemption they told me . Wait a few days and see what eventuates. Stop stressing, Eric.

Who said nothing is changing? The 2 to 5 ban is gone, for the time being.

So why are you so stressed?

Who is?

Interesting that it seems the people criticising young people are using a digital device to read books. My 15 yo Australian grandaughter has all the devices yet spends her money (from part time work after school and on weekends) buying real books, as do her friends. I asked her why and she simply replied ' I like reading'. Her mum, my daughter, took her in to the city on her birthday with her friends, one lass spent $400 on books. Just because we see youngsters using digital devices doesn't mean that's the only thing they use. Wasn't that long ago old farts predicted the breakdown of society from rock and roll, particularly that devil in disguise Elvis Presley.

Or you could plan it better and buy a beer at 13:59.

Then you may never know.
