I have a sneaking suspicion there will be a "part two" to this story. ????

You beat me to it. They are gonna try cramming 5 kilo of sh!t into a 2 kilo sack. It is actually a HUGE consideration for me to fly only business class any more. I don't fly frequently so when I do, I don't want to do combat at the passport control booths.

And he doesn't look a DAY over 95.

I guess you missed the sarcasm.

I watched that miserable <deleted> Huckabee lying out both sides of her mouth as she delivered the Republican's response. The first thing I picked up on was her bragging about her executive order as governor to kill critical race theory being taught in colleges THEN accusing the Democrats of trying to eliminate free speech. You can't have it both ways. The spew continued along these same li(n)es, I won't bore with more details.

But, how can this be? Mask wearing has essentially been dismissed. What NEW evil monster will they invent to keep the boot on the necks of the populace?

Yeah . . . no.

If you're talking about St. Andrews in Pattaya, it is one of the best ever. I worked there as a peripatetic music teacher for a few years and cannot speak highly enough about them. I know nothing of Bangkok prep so I can't compare, but I can say with confidence you wouldn't go wrong with St. Andrews.

Didn't they outlaw kites on Pattaya beach?

If you even have to ask then you are not traveling in the proper social circles to EVER meet a hiso.

The whole point is to start taking a more adult approach. I know, I know, T.I.T.S., but sooner or later the adults are going to have to start using sensible solutions. I'm advocating for sooner than later.

Sure - draw a line that lets those Na Jomtien restaurants use the area at night. It's an absolutely beautiful setting and would help tourism. I get it, squatting is bad. There was a brand new beautiful two lane section of road built in Pattaya years ago. There was an "S" curve in part of it, and a restaurant decided to build an awning and place tables in front of their shop, taking up a whole lane. Absolutely stupid! Not sure if anyone was killed as it was a blind curve, and it was shut down quickly. Tourism is critical to Thailand, and this use of the beach would be a boon if properly managed.

There are no people who are unable to use the beach next to the area being used by the restaurant. The area is huge after the revamp. Hows about the haters all unclench their butt cheeks and chill a bit? I am sure if a few brown envelopes were exchanged this whole tempest in a teapot would go away. And even if ALL the restaurants started doing the same (which I think would be a nice draw, I'd LOVE to be able to dine on the beach at night), there's still more than enough room for all to enjoy the beach.

While in the states they're 60-70 baht/can and all flavors are overflowing on the shelves. I'm visiting in a month and coming back with a year's supply.

I gave an Acer Nitro 5 and am well impressed with its performance.

Several stores used to carry them regularly. Now it's hit and miss, Villa Market being the most dependable. Lazada wants an arm and a leg. We're still not over the Covid supply chain disruption.

That's in the UK. I'm talking about driving one of those beasts in Thailand in your mid-60's or older. Bad idea.

So will he extort reasonable amounts of money for e-cigarettes?

That's Pattaya, a universe all unto itself. Idiots go there thinking both the legal laws and the laws of physics don't apply to them.

Oh for <deleted>'s sake! Anyone buying that kind of a monster machine at that age needs their head examined.

That's like beating the dog because old Mrs. Flannigan farted.

Teach her to use bluetooth headphones/ear buds. Problem solved.

I would reconsider the status of "friend" to someone willing to go to the police over 1500 baht.

No, you are confused. It is Fox viewers who are upset about the M&M's because the guy who tells them what to think (Tuckems) told them to be upset. Fox is the only propaganda outlet doing this for their flock who are unable to think for themselves. Otherwise they would realize just how ridiculous this whole thing is.

But then they would get caught, silly!
