Don’t forget that the owners of 7/11 were  strongly rumored to be supplying refreshments  to the redshirt supporters of the Yingluck government. They play both ends against the middle.

Well spotted! ????

What a waste of time and energy... I laid quite a large brick this morning - felt kinda supernatural too.

Good they got these terrible and dangerous criminals behind bars... Just imagine what massive damage could have been done to the public otherwise!

Welcome to Thailand, sounds like a very normal mundane evening ????

 Yupp, experiencing those mundane siamese evenings now for almost 30 years and it still makes me angry...

I can remember some Euro band in the 80's doing a cover of the Grass Roots' 1968 song LET'S LIVE FOR TODAY.

It was played in all the bars and even the non-English speaking girls could sing the words.....  us farang sang it as well. as the words meant something as you sat there on your 8th Kloster staring at the carnal spice rack!

 

I used to love sitting in many bars near closing time when all the girls started singing Lukthung songs in unison..... BORUK SEE DUM is a song that comes to mind.

 Yupp, the good ol' days... will they ever return? ????

Instead of whining about the bike's specs, it would help immensely if the BIB would do their job and remove and impound any unsafe bike off Thailand's roads for good, check for lights, brakes, tyres, etc. and instead of turning a blind eye, arrest and heavily fine all those morons riding the hard shoulder in opposite direction, cut illegally through U-turns in a 45 degree angle against traffic, do U-turns where it's not allowed, build illegal pathways through road dividers, ride with 4 people on one bike or balance a gas tank behind their backs while riding with one hand, riders without proper helmets, etc. - you name it... Or arrest those opas and grannies who have their 2 year olds sitting on a plastic chair unsecured on their sidecars, etc... There's so much that could be done, but nobody really wants to...

Just now, riding back in the dark from work approx. 5km in a relatively quiet part of southern Thailand, I witnessed: 5 bikes without tail lights, 5 bikes without any lights at all, 3 of them illegal racers with those helmless Wai Loon apes in flipflops going 120km/h on a major highway, zigzagging through traffic like there's no tomorrow (and hopefully there's none for them), one car with lights completely off, one illegal lumberjack car without any lights, any doors windows or hood, 8 bikes riding towards me in wrong direction on the hard shoulder, 2 cars and 3 bikes ignoring the red lights on an intersection and one bike cutting against traffic through the whole intersection completely ignoring any lights and rules while checking his smart phone... 

Sorry, author of the original article, I did not get the exact specs of all those vehicles... So, no need to bother, right???

"Police are working on the theory that a dispute resulted in a hit."

... or an agreement? Or a dispute over an agreement, or a disagreement over a dispute, perhaps a disputed disagreement over an agreement??? C'mon BIB Sherlocks, you got this! 

Sadness Pt1 of Enigma was playing when I walked into my very first A-Go-Go after arriving here in 1991 - and I thought that perhaps a Tuk Tuk killed me on the way without me noticing, and that I went straight to heaven ???? I never left ????
 

8 for outfit

0 for brain

3 for tattoos

9 for accompanying bag/luggage
0 to the officials for non-existent finger pointing 

'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man...

Who needs Netflix if you have decision makers like this one? Just read the news or watch the national TV channels and you'll have more comedy to binge watch than you could ever stomach...

Richard Barrow, apparently well-meaning, often whips people up into a panic based on his misunderstandings. Clearly, it would be absurd to require a Covid-19 test for extensions and it's not even what the regulations he's quoting says so this is obviously another one of his brain farts. I don't know why anyone takes him seriously.

Couldn't agree more!!! ????

Thailand - hub of transparency 

Tourism will never recover, at least not in the coming 5 to 10 years... 

You have to give 'em that much: Those muppets must have balls to come up with nonsense like that...

So much time... so many holes to fill...

Great idea with the stool and that Annabelle Doll. Kudos to the artist! ????

That's right. It's been that way for as long as I've been here, about 7 years. The '7 dangerous days' that they spout on about is a complete fallacy. Every day is a dangerous day, statistically.

 

Couldn't agree more, Moonlover! I think there even was an article about that a few years ago showing that this whole "7 dangerous days" headlining is a sham when taking the numbers of the whole year into account.

Looks like everyone had a smashing new year's eve then... good! ????

I just find it hilarious, the way all those muppets barf random numbers out into the ether, expected tourist numbers, GDP numbers, infection numbers, lottery numbers... "Renfield, we need a number!

Denial... can be an ugly thing! ????
 

-4 and perhaps adding a zero would be a more precise prediction. International tourism will be as good as dead for years since most people can hardly get by and feed their family, let alone accumulate savings. Most travel operators, transport sectors and small/medium hotels, restaurants and other tourism or catering businesses within Thailand are already belly up. To recover and repair this massive destruction will take years, if not a decade. I am sick and tired of those muppets in their ivory towers who are completely disconnected from reality.
