Cambodian guitarist strikes wrong note in Bangkok church heists

Whats sukhumvit like these days?
100%......I know it has been said many times before that the bar scene is dying........but this time it really seems to be the case.........with just a few exceptions. Lot of people on the street walking nowhere and buying nothing. Lots of family types....why come to soi 4 thru soi 20+? Soi 7 was up and coming, but is dying a death now........the odd bar seems to be very popular.........but the vast majority must be in desperate straits

Thai ‘super app’ set to launch with 10,000-baht digital wallet scheme
This 'super app' is now going to be used for many other purposes I imagine .........purely in an effort to strengthen state control over its people.......and not to benefit its citizens.

Changed from a retirement visa to a marriage visa last month. Do I have to go through this whole process again next year?
Same every year, but can get more onerous. Couple of years ago we had to drive three sets of neighbours to immigration to be interviewed......last year I had a 20 min interview....father's name? Mother's maiden name?.....how many siblings?.....Brother's middle name..... ..................AND this was conducted by the same officer we see every year........and we've been married for 17 years.

Thailand Advances in Government Digitalization
I trust this drive to digitize will be fully backed up by paper copies in triplicate......one copy of which will go straight in the bin............. right in front of your eyes.

If Thailand refused you, where would you live? And why?
Middlesbrough......because it wouldn't matter where I went on holiday, I would already know it would be sooooo much nicer.

New urban noise problem
Yes.....wife did....all her money.....I spend as much time as possible doing house sits here and in the UK. I very nearly left her when she told me she was having it built......until I realised it would save me about 80k a month if I stayed.....555

Odd behavior at a theater.
Tricky getting the balance right I guess.....nationalism-jingoism-indoctrination I remember my father being furious at the quote "My country (America) right or wrong".....Carl Schurz

Have you ever had trouble in Pattaya?
Very, very close one night......Charlie Hotel.....not sure it's still there. I'd picked up a girl whose 'boyfriend' (back in the UK) happened to have a friend in the bar spying on her.....the 'boyfriend' instructed his mate to attack me......but like any sensible coward I wormed my way out of it.

Srettha invites Putin to visit Thailand
Wow....Interesting......so they can avoid frontline action even though conscripted? Are there any subtle forms of punishment for refusing or are they not even asked, during their one year, to serve on the frontline?
