Youth gang wreaks havoc in Buriram, Thailand: Teen seriously hurt
prakhonchai nick replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
"A gang of reckless youths caused havoc on the streets of Buriram, " Misleading heading! If the 13 year old was admitted to Lahansai hospital, it can be assumed the problem occurred in Lahansai, which whilst in Buriram province is some 80kms to the South! -
Do you believe in God and why
prakhonchai nick replied to ivor bigun's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Some years ago, I was having a meal with my daughter and her friend in a restaurant. We sat at a table for 4. After a while the friend suddenly started talking about God, and knowing my views, asked what would make me believe. I answered "if he came and sat in this empty chair and joined us for our meal" Her response was how would I know it was God. My answer " I'd ask to see his passport!" -
I have never found the Surin hospital to which you refer as being reasonably priced, and not specially efficient. They wanted a huge sum to remove a small skin cancer lump by my nose, and when I saw a Doctor re lower back pain, and told him there problems associated with most pain killers and the various heart meds I was taking, he eventually came up with a tablet he said was safe. Back home my computer warned me not to touch it as it could be fatal! I fortunately have insurance (amazingly capped at the same price it was when I took it out decades ago except for inflationary increases). and am able to choose better hospitals when required. For heart conditions I cannot recommend Queen Sirikit Hospital Khon Kaen highly enough At close on 200,000bt/year the op might as well self-insure and if required use a local government hospital, many of which are very good. All being well, at age 80 he will have more than 1 million baht in the kitty

Transgender Gold Robber Arrested

Carrying out a crime using a weapon as a threat (knife/gun etc) and endangering peoples lives (possible heart attack) warrants a death sentence -
Where to park the 800,000 THB?
prakhonchai nick replied to Hanaguma's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Not involved with extensions, but it seems clear to me that if you can get a minimum 2..5% interest (which you can in the UK and somewhat more) and have access to the money for the full 12 months then it is by far cheaper to use an agent or a corrupt IO to process your extension for a fee of 15/20,000baht -
around 1100 drunk drivers arrested each day of the 7 day period throughout Thailand which is approx 15 per day per province In my small village I can assure that more than 15 persons were guilty of drunk driving per day, including on some days 2 policemen (and possibly many more that I did not see)!!!!!!! So will prisons countrywide increase their number of guests by some 7,864 for drink driving? , What a stupid question! The Police are incapable of carrying out their job! Perhaps bring in the army at times like these (they really don't have much more to do!)

Different wills in 2 different countries
prakhonchai nick replied to Pappap's topic in General Topics
On the same broad topic, A Scottish Will does not become null and void upon marriage, as do Thai and English Wills. If there is only 1 "universal WILL" and marriage to a Thai took place after the Will was drawn up, would Thai Laws after the drawing up of the Will nullify the Will here in Thailand, effectively declaring the deceased died intestate? -

UK premium bonds
prakhonchai nick replied to dayo202's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Last month I won 2 x £50 prizes I have 50,000 bonds. Today I again won 2 x £50 prizes and somewhat amazingly, it was the same 2 numbers (out of 50,000, and chosen randomly) that won!!!! I find this unvbelievable. What are the odds of this happening. I believe something is very rwrong with the random choosing of winning numbers -
If you take out health insurance when you are younger and no health problems, most Insurers (Uk Insurers in particular) cover virtually everything.. That generally continues once you get old, and normally only chronic illnesses are excluded once initially claimed for. My health insurance taken out in the UK 37 years ago, with worldwide cover, covers my whole family. Amazingly one of the perks was that you remain the same age as when you took out the insurance, so no age increases, only inflation. My wife and my 3 kids are all just 21 years old. Me? Just a bit older! Unfortunately the Insurer ceased offering this cover many year ago to new applicants

I am appalled after having read the last 4 pages, that the vast majority of posters are totally ignorant of the purpose of the thread. The basic question referred to hotel and guest house owners who use Agoda to advertise and fill their rooms, and what their charges are. Nothing to do with what we are charged to rent a room through Agoda or other boking companies. An indication of the charges made by Agoda, and indeed Booking.com (same parent company) is mentioned, but very largely lost in all the rubbish and irrelevant posts!

Regardless of the reasons, murder is murder. One person is dead, and the murderers death should follow quickly!
