  1. Why is Bolt not legal in T/land? It's internationally accepted in many countries. I have their app on my phone downloaded here.
  2. A fleet of sand trucks is on stand-by in Pattaya. Bali is poised to officially thank Pattaya's mayor for his brother-in-law's regular contributions to Bali beaches.
  3. Another hub to Thailand's growing collection of hubs. Its best contribution may be to raise the knowledge level of Thai doctors above that of a UK sixteen year old's Biology expertise.
  4. And with all the unrest in UK the appreciating baht will continue to shrink my UK pension even more than the British Government have done in the last 18 years.
  5. Premier is shorthand for Prime Minister. I understand his post to mean that Pita, though not yet having been voted in as PM by his coalition partners and ham-strung by a senate of self-serving geriatric generals, has managed to damage relationships with the merciless Myanmar generals.
  6. The only reason is non-payment of monthly protection money. I watched the two smartly dressed young Thai guys accept an envelope from behind the bar. When I asked my 'friend' what it was for, she said, 'Music Licence.' (There was no speakers/equipment anywhere, which made it my favourite watering-hole.)
  7. The new mayor's brother-in-law has just put in another order for new sand after Bali sent a letter of gratitude for Pattaya's frequent donations.
  8. The main cause of death/accidents is excessive speed; perhaps the easiest fault to deter with CCTV everywhere. Until Thailand gets a police force these deaths will continue.
  9. So next month's bill will be 3 hours down on this one?
  10. I've got doubts about the last one.
  11. Now I understand the word 'priceless' in the headline. If it was worth anything, she'd sell it.
  12. enhance local officials bank balance. As Bradiston above points out this means a long, pointless, petrol-wasting drive with its resultant impact on the market. Watch the crowd vote with their 'feet'.
  13. These are officials whose job it is to eradicate corruption! Now I understand how Big Joke got his name.
  14. I don't understand why any foreign company would want to surrender 51% of its shares to Thailand; particularly in countries where Thais are treated fairly.
  15. Why would employment rates decline? It has remained at a fictitious 98+% for years.
  16. Budget v Health - hmn? A non-contest in T-Land.
  17. When I can find a week with Immigration open fulltime, I need to go back for a re-entry permit. I'll have a mask handy to wave at him.
  18. There seems to be some sort of big bike convention on locally. On Sunday Sukhumvit was swamped by three or four hundred roaring bikes all travelling towards Sattahip.
  19. I've got déjà vu. I worry sometimes that I've got a kind of old-age Alzheimer's and keep reading yesterday's stories today.
  20. The rude bouncer on the door at Immigration nagged me about not wearing a mask when he admitted me a week back. I rummaged in my bag as if I had one & got past him!
  21. IF Plod's heart was in this search, the Aston Martin's driver would be arrested within an hour. They managed to track four jailbreakers over 500 kms + a change of vehicle. A prominent (AKA rich) local however is another matter.
