Anutin: crackdown on illegality extends to the nightlife sector; no more graft or pay-to-play
How about specifying what "illegality" the current government is involved in?

What's the relevance of the number of posts and what makes it so amusing?

Playing Pool in Pattaya
I think you'll find that the Hustlers in Pattaya on 3rd Road (or the one I am aware of at the top of Lengkee) has only 2 tables - or are you referring to somewhere else? I thought that you were referring to Hustlers in Bangkok.

Playing Pool in Pattaya
Snooker, pool, darts, dominoes, snakes and ladders, games for the overweight unfit brigade. Which bars have more "energetic" facilities for the fit, weight-conscious brigade?

Playing Pool in Pattaya
Have you been in there? About how many pool tables are there? Eleven.

Because they're beer bars!

In the organised leagues all the bars in the league play to the same rules.

Stolen Credit Card Numbers
To be precise, my account was credited the stolen amount, after the merchant credited my bank. I know, hence my comment!

Light coloured or dark coloured car choice.
The temperature was 113° in the white car and 130° in the black car. You think that makes the white car a better choice because 113° is comfortable and 130° is not?! The difference after an hour of aircon was insignificant, also, at 80° and 90°.

That's not true.

Stolen Credit Card Numbers
The merchant pays back to the bank/card issuer, not the customer.

Need recommendation for Personal Offshore Bank Account
I don't need to, I know how banks (offshore and otherwise) and current accounts operate. If that was what he told you that "salaries and other expected legitimate payments were not acceptable" to Citibank offshore accounts, he was wrong. I guess you worked at Citibank, as I did? Thought not.

Need recommendation for Personal Offshore Bank Account
That is nonsense, apart from, possibly, the tax aspect if they're asked by authorities. No banks ask their, usually, high net worth customers if they're paying the correct amount of tax, neither do they care. Offshore banks are perfectly happy to have salaries and any other legitimate payments credited to their current accounts.

Need recommendation for Personal Offshore Bank Account
Which jurisdiction, "UK", and what do you consider to be a "large sum to be deposited"? Have you tried looking at the various banks' requirements?
-
Need recommendation for Personal Offshore Bank Account
"But not an account requiring a large sum to be deposited". The OP doesn't give the impression that he's a HNI.

More information than was necessary!

Light coloured or dark coloured car choice.
"Cooler" than what? Do you have a black car also? From your own experience, how much do you save on "air conditioning costs" in your car?

Light coloured or dark coloured car choice.
Always best to ensure that you read your own links! From the same article, the insignificance is obvious... "The silver Honda Civic (shell SR 0.57) had a cabin air temperature of about 5-6°C (9-11°F) lower than an identical black car (shell SR 0.05). Overall, the numbers compiled in this car-color exercise found that using white or silver paint instead of black paint would raise fuel economy by 0.44 mpg (2.0 percent); would decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 1.9 percent, and reduce other automotive emissions by about 1 percent". A 5-6°C lower interior temperature (say 95° as opposed to 100°) in a car that's been in the tropical sun for an hour would not be noticeably cooler to anyone getting in the car!

But it costs more to keep looking good. Yeah, that bucket of soapy water and a hose-down is so expensive.
