Is Prawit?

They do it all the time in the housing market.

Thais will eat anything, particularly fat mice.

I don't believe him.

Well she certainly looks the part.

Plus the really lucky ones are 2nd hand so their previous owners are dead.

SHOCKING!

How convenient his all-mightiness was on hand to search the city for the careless lady.

What's to understand? He is a Thai man brought up by mummy & granny to expect subservience. He is encouraged by them and society to treat females as 2nd class citizens.

Having facial operations to prevent them smiling.

I've been waiting 15 years for my B-i-L to repay money he 'borrowed' to pay for his daughter's school fees. I, too, am hopeful, nay optimistic.

Stop fretting; RTP have today formed an investigatory panel to look into it. Their results will be published in 2053.

Pattaya Plod want in on the action.

Or 'fined' to avoid discovery.

Another triumph for Pattaya Plod.

A spokesperson at Kunming station admitted that no return tickets will be sold.

From the article: 'the main causes that have been worsening air quality in Thailand. Urban Transportation–especially in the metropolitan area of Bangkok. As the number of personal cars have increased over 250% in the past 20 years and the law to tax old vehicles that emit pollution is still relaxed. Plus, Thailand’s adoption of Euro Emission Standard (vehicle emission standard for pollution) is also delayed. SOLUTION - police! Industrial Pollution–Thailand’s environment regulation has been weakened by the current junta government that does not monitor small factories compared to other countries who have legislation to mandate industrial pollution. Moreover, Thailand has been working blind on reducing industrial pollution as it has no data base on factory emission. SOLUTION - new Government Forest Fires—The fires are directly linked to air pollution from SEA’s seasonal burning of agricultural waste for the next crop cycle. SOLUTION - police.

Another day; another (2) corrupt cops unearthed. I cannot make up my mind whether the honest cops are getting better at detecting or the crooked cops are getting more arrogant & stupid.

Like The Guardian? The Bangkok Post? AseanNow? Where you get yours?

The Myanmar army are too busy killing unarmed civilians; a bit like the Thai army declaring war on Thai students.

Having read my post you will see I have lived here for 18 years which gives me a certain degree of experience. I have travelled extensively round Thailand; I came to Pattaya after living in Bangkok for some time; I've visited five of the islands; lots of cities/towns particularly in Issaan. I moved to Bang Sare which had a nice beach; good quality housing and friends. I only go to Pattaya for shopping.

The quantifying of my happiness was in defence of someone feeling sorry for my daily misery. As an amateur psychiatrist I think you'll understand why I must turn down your invitation to lie down on another man's couch.

I am an author. We're allowed poetic licence to make a point. Similarly my issue with a frozen State pension was merely meant to draw would-be retirees' attention to it. I did not know when I came here to be with my son 18 years ago. I think I would have reconsidered making the move permanently.

'Based on a True Story' 30 minute episodes. Worth a dabble.

I thought my house belonged to me. The Thai court decided otherwise.
