How come his private jet had sufficient fuel to divert to Dubai? Normally a jet will only carry enough fuel for the intended journey (in this case Singapore) plus a reserve in case a diversion to an alternative airport is required because of bad weather (in this case there are numerous alternative airports within an hour's flying time). A flight to Dubai requires three times as much fuel as a flight to Singapore (more given the actual route that Thaksin's jet took) and pilots would never load that much fuel unless it was the intention to fly to Dubai in the first place.

I had the same question when Skype was discontinued, I did quite a lot of research on the alternatives (most of which have already been mentioned in this thread) but I ended up going for mytello. It works well, calls to UK and Australia are about the same price as Skype (the US even cheaper) and I've found the audio quality with mytello much better than Skype. It works in any country so I'm happy with the choice I made.

Agricultural pesticides are so badly regulated in Thailand that it would be hard to know what is on your fruits and vegetables. We always use a fruit and vegetable wash on everything that we consume to be on the safe side.

Will this stop all the tourists drowning on Phuket's beaches?

I don't think this was AI written. It's too nuanced and insightful.

I have 7-Eleven membership but too much effort for the small value purchases I make there. I only use TOPS and Villa Market memberships because what I spend there in a year is 50X what I spend at 7-Elevens.

Depends on what date you want to fly. July fares are as high as 23,000 baht one way (crazy!) whilst August fares are as low as 3,900 baht one way.

This has happened to me many times whilst driving in Thailand. But I wouldn't risk my life chasing the vehicle. you just don't know who could be inside. A drunk, a drug dealer, or someone with a gun. Not worth the risk.
