I remember when it used to be 4 AM before.  Then they changed it to 2 AM and they had lots of arguement to prove it was VITAL that bars closed earlier.  Then it was midnight closing time and I think even 11.00 pm in Udon Thani with the storm troopers coming around nightly to check (except for the clubs owned by police).  In my opinion it killed Udon Thani as a place to visit with bars closing left right and centre.  But it was all VITAL.

Now its vital that they stay open longer and they have a strong arguement too.  Kinda feels like arguing with a woman lol.

A great TV series is The Runaway based on the East End gangster series  written by Martina Cole. She also wrote The  Take which was was made into a tough  criminal  thriller starring Tom Hardy.

The Runaway is brutal and uncompromising about East end working class life and the violence of the gangsterism that is the way  out. Thus its not just sensationalist but has a bit of depth. Excellent  casting, great wardrobe and solid production  values underpinned by orthodox  editing style make this  a good  but underrated and little known series. Not to  be confused with other productions of the  same name.

Just finished watching it and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Everything just as you said.  Alan Cumming, the transgender show girl, played an absolutely brilliant part.  Thank you.

Thailand’s Natural Resources and Environment Minister Varawut Silpa-archa has ordered park officials to track down a western tourist who was seen, in a widely-shared online post, with a bunch of parrot fish

These parrot fish have no class at all hanging around with farang and for all to see.

Pining for the fjords? If so, definitely Norwegian Blues.

No think theyre Lovebirds.  Norwegian Blues usually come nailed to a perch which these obviously are not.

No. What is your point? You seem confused. You are slut shaming her. That is clear.  I have the feeling she is too good for you but probably a very nice and clever  girl. She's certainly  doing No harm to anybody

Yes she is, she is not giving any to ChaiyaTh, thats why he is calling her a slut.

Wanchai Kertsawat, 24, is being prosecuted for not having a licence.

Do any of these places have licenses?  It seems to be a national joke!

What do you call 100 lawyers chained together at the bottom of the ocean?  Answer:  a good start!

Like , you go to get yet another covid booster and they force you take take a few tokes of a spliff or vaccination certificate refused ? 

and its stamped in your vacc book too lol!

Yes the case needs to be slowed down as some of the criminals are still alive.  However as pointed out, the appeals can still ensure that crime does pay in Thailand if you hold the right position.

It's been going on for many years Pratunam was full of illegal gambling dens when it was the main red light area,when R and R started, then the Red light slowly moved around to Nana. You can still see the peep holes in many of the buildings and houses in the back streets of Pratunam, my friend had a printing bussines there for over 40 years he used to tell me how it was when he first started as a young man from Denmark in his early 20s, he sadly passed a few years ago but his business still goes on managed by his family, he could speak fluent Thai and he also had Thai citizenship 

Interesting piece of history, thanks,

Is this just a personal view or do you have any references as it is not something I have ever heard before - unlike with the Chinese? 

 

Not sure about the current generation, but I am sure most older Chinese consider China as home no matter where they are.

As far as I'm aware, that has been the law for many years already.

 

So what has changed?

Yeah but you dont have to tell everybody.  This is supposed to be a new bright and shining idea from a modern forward thinking government. 

In any case how did you know already?  Do you listen to this government or something?  Well, well, now we know who it is?   lol

Just the US suffering one of its usual bouts of paranoia.  Its nothing new, just the US deflecting from the usual, and long running troubles within by creating enemies outside for its citizens to fear.

Better than the usual dirty money from the USA but then thats usually from the government.

saying that the idea was not practical

Since when has this government worried about practicality??  This would take forward thinking and planning etc.  No, lets just do what we always do, impliment the changes immediately and then patch it all up as we go along when problems arrive.  In this way the laws are confusing, vague and open to interpretation so we still got them by the balls.
