How in gods name do they know that?

Their calculator is very very special ! ????????????

Except they were here to perform music or dj on phangan and samui ! ????

Have bought jeans about 3 times from Levi shop and few t-shirts. The jeans were not far off uk prices but the waist sizes were 2-3 sizes out every time and the material was very thin and soft but not in a high quality way.

Their stuff seems ok for women shopping there , but I now just get all my clothes brought out from uk as sizes and quality here are rarely any good for decent clothes.

That's amazing. I usually buy tabs on Lazada because they are cheaper than locally and I hate lugging that big bucket home but about a month ago I needed powder so went to my local chem shop, not the pool shop.  The 20 kg bucket that is normally 3+k was now 4. I remarked to the staff that was quite a jump in a short time and they all agreed.

I checked several shops for chlorine in samui around 6 weeks ago and they all said price had gone up. Looked on lazada and the prices had all gone up there also. Only one place in maenam was selling at normal price which was 2850 bht for 25kg 90% chlorine and they delivered it to my house in south. 

100,000 bht fine for spraying water !
Meanwhile in the uk the PM gets £50 fine for holding illegal covid party ! ????????????

Tourists will be flocking here I’m sure .

Wonder if he was possibly one of the honest ones and didn’t like what he seen other staff doing to luggage and was threatening to tell .

Half the people in that photo appear to be workers dressed in black with armbands who appear to be checking paperwork ! ????

It is the 6th April is it not ? Or are they stuck on the 1st April !! ????

It's easy to win in the Thai lottery. Just buy enough tickets and you will win for sure.

I remember when I once was in an office and the lottery numbers came out and one women was delighted that she just won 20k.

I though: good luck for her.

And then the others told me that she spends basically all her money buying lottery tickets so she will "win" all the time. ???? 

Wife’s mate does this. Posts on Facebook when she wins all time on the numbers lottery , but as I said to my wife she basically buys 60-70 numbers between 1 and 99 so covers most of them. So when she actually wins and says she won 20,000 or whatever then you can bet she spent about 18000 buying numbers !
Loses more than she wins for sure !

The lotto comes in groups of five, right?  So, are there one or two other lucky ticket holders in or near Phuket ?

You can buy 10,15,20 tickets with the same number if you find a seller that has them. They usually charge more than 80-100bht per ticket for the privilege though . 

So none of the vets in samui could have been asked to do this and probably actually have experience dealing with jellyfish stings etc ! ????

He was using the "plus" feature so got everything about the prize sorted online

What plus feature ? I thought nothing about the lottery was online ?

Still never understand people who win lotteries and go public !! Why ?

How many of the police involved will get their share of this I wonder ?

Would be interesting to see a breakdown of where it all goes once seized knowing what happens a la joe Ferrari !

Why would anyone bring a cold climate dog like a husky to Thailand?  They happily sleep in snow!  The heat here must be torture for them.

Not so if generally looked after. Huskies have a 2 layer coat which insulates them from heat and cold . They have problems when idiots shave them and they lose the ability to stay at a reasonable temperature in sun. Most are also born here so have less problems than one that is brought here from a cooler climate. 

How many years has this been proposed and never happened !

For the price of the ticket for the prize payout it is one of the worst lotteries in the world !

Never be put online as too many people involved will lose their cut from it. Not all sales help people with disabilities etc , there are two different tickets from what I remember and one is sold by people with disabilities and the other is just sold by a vendor. They said you shouldn’t be able to buy the same number in large amounts like 10 or above , yet the other day I seen a page selling tickets in groups of 10,15 and even 20 of the same number. But if you want these you better be rich as the sellers ask double the price or more and also there are certain tickets they say are lucky and they charge more for them also !

I've often wonder this too, why someone would pay 20,000-30,000 Bt or more for a smartphone. Mine is a Redmi Note 10, cost 6000 Bt. Excellent screen quality, fast, good battery life, good ram, 3 sim slots (very handy) being Android there are tons of free apps.

 

The camera is excellent. I'm a serious photographer, it's my main hobby, and I currently own 2 high end cameras: a Fujifilm xf10 and a Sony rx100m2...and I hardly ever use them because there's no advantage to carrying a camera when I have my smartphone with me all the time. My smartphone images are as good - and often better - than taken with either camera.

I got the 10s 8gb model and it does everything you say and battery lasts forever and charges in minutes. I paid 6600bht for it and if it stops working or gets lost or stolen in year or two I will just buy another , instead of wondering who nicked my 30-40000 bht iphone ! 
From reading reviews of this and the pro the only difference was 108mp camera and slightly better refresh rate on screen on the pro . From comparison sites it rated it as equal to a iPhone 11 in score but that still costs about 22000bht with decent memory size .

Pattaya police received a tip from a “concerned citizen” that the restaurant was selling shisha against Thai law. This concerned citizen claimed they were reporting the incident because they cared about people’s health and the potential spread of Covid-19

Thank god for the “ concerned citizen “ again !!
Saving us all from the spread of covid due to shisha ! ????????

A Thai Royal Navy man of the rank of lieutenant commander is facing sex charges after he installed two cameras in the ladies toilets in a hospital.

 

The cameras were connected to a computer in the communications section offices of the hospital.

So nobody questions a guy in the ladies toilet or why he’s using a computer in hospital offices when not employed there ?

Did nobody else use this computer and if he was dumb/smart enough to put them there then why would he not send the images to a laptop at home . ????

Boon ?? BOOM ! ????

40 million !!! ????????????????

Welcome to Thailand !
Now if you could just hand over your wallet and be on your way please ! ????

So everyone packs in before that time ! Time is irrelevant.

The bill was presented as a half torn real bill with the address and name not evident. The outstanding amount was written in pen.

 

Still, the manager thought it looked alright and paid up.

It looked alright ?? ????????????

Quality over quantity doesn’t pay the bills or feed the masses though  !!
