EU’s ‘Veggie Burger’ Ban Under Fire from Paul McCartney
Some high estrogen twit added the "or vegetables" to the definition of what a burger is. The world has had enough of celebrities and their activism. McCartney looks like he's lactating.

Thailand eases alcohol sales restrictions, effective 3 December
I'm doing a Pattaya 7/11 crawl between the hours of 1400-1700 until I've had a Leo in every store in the city. If you see an obese farang in a stained singlet outside your local 7, do say hello.

Thai Rock Star Ends Prison Duties Over Family Dispute
If you squint and look at him sideways, I could mistake the two. The Beatles music is the most simplistic, overrated stuff on the face of the earth. Most 6 year olds can pick it up after a few hours of training.

CT142 Winter Trip 2025/6
I've seen it many times on my road trips and wondered what those guys had under the hood!

New Honda Click 160 Shaking/Jerking
The British call it 'juddering'. Have the clutch inspected. There are little clips that can be loose which could be one cause of the problem on a new bike. https://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?t=8959 I did a quick search and found this.

Yamaha NVX vs ADV150/160 ???
The Nmax is all over the place in Pattaya, and not the same thing as the Aerox.

Thailand to Launch Six Tax Measures for Sustainability
None of this will bite until they can get rid of cash and get a digital currency. Look at the lineups outside of banks after millions of Thais got locked out of their accounts. The smart ones are going back to cash. Whomever is cooking up these utopian schemes is out of touch with the Thai populace. This climate change hogwash is so 2024. Now it's full throttle, drill baby, drill, because you can't run data servers on wind and sunshine.

Former Homeless Man in Chiang Mai Wins Lottery Jackpot
That's a great story. The town rubbies will be swimming in jungle hooch until they drop from kidney failure.

Afternoon Booze Ban to End for New Year Festivities
And hot. It's rare to see women with bodies like that these days. The one had some pretty bizarre dance moves though, kind of like she was being shocked or sees a spider and throws her hands up every second bar.

Thai organiser sues Miss Universe over disputed ‘dumbhead’ remar
The TAT should sue the presenter for damaging the image of Thailand on an international stage. They pearl clutch about drunken Brits, katoeys and Indians on Beach Road, but that's got nothing on the damage caused by the presenter. Have a bean counter cook up an estimate and keel haul the presenter into making restitution.

Jealousy Leads to Alleged Assault on Thai Woman in South Korea
Deleted insensitive comment.

Japan Donates 7 Million Baht Flood Relief to Thailand
Japan learned their lesson after giving cash for the tsunami relief back in 2004. Now it's tents and water filters that were (hopefully) manufactured in Japan so that Japanese businesses also benefited.

Thai organiser sues Miss Universe over disputed ‘dumbhead’ remar
Yes, but this country exists in an alternate reality where someone who behaves like an imbecile can sue the person who calls them out on it if that imbecilic behaviour causes damage to the imbecile's reputation. I rarely criticize Thailand's laws but this one really discourages the concept of personal responsibility. The clown may get a judgement against the defendant, but it won't be enforceable. Thailand will just be subjected to further ridicule and embarrassment. Dude should crawl back under his rock and wait for things to blow over.

Afternoon Booze Ban to End for New Year Festivities
Isn't this what life is really about? Most adults manage their lives just fine without the moral majority and big daddy government nudging and shoving them in one direction or another. I'm amazed that the Thai populace tolerates a government that infantilizes them.

I've read that Thailand's glaciers are melting at an alarming rate.

Thai Food Blogger Wins Big After Years of Lottery Attempts
400k baht is newsworthy? I've got a friend who burns through that in a week on his Pattaya vacations.

Police Raid Uncovers 240,000 Counterfeit Items Nationwide
Add HP Sauce to that list. There's a batch of that goop hitting restaurants in Pattaya. The bottle and label are done well but the stuff inside pours like mucus from an inflamed bowel.

Afternoon Booze Ban to End for New Year Festivities
I was at a 7 in Pattaya yesterday and today and alcohol was available between 2 and 5.

Big C now cheaper than expat shops
If they're the genuine article. There's a batch of fake HP Sauce in Pattaya now and it's absolutely disgusting. It comes out of the bottle like treacle and tastes weird.

Trump Tower at Soi Watboon Jomtien is a thing
Probably the ones who are married to guys who post on AN.

Big C now cheaper than expat shops
I've got to go and record that for posterity. It could be a mob scene akin to the 'Cabbage Patch Doll' fights of the 1980s. Two geezers, one dented can of beans. Who will reign supreme?

Isn't it made with marmots?
