The population of Hat Yai doubles every weekend as Malay males cross into Thailand shopping for oats.

Thanks for this. Here's the record for the big two in profits: Net profit (THB billion) — 2020 → 2024 Rank (2024)Bank (ticker)20202021202220232024Source 1Kasikornbank — KBank29.4935.7742.4149.6048.60KBank annual / financial summary. ธนาคารกสิกรไทย+1 2Bangkok Bank — BBL24.4630.5639.4341.6445.21Bangkok Bank investor presentation / financial info.

The quote was of Anutin's words. Despite your Bangkok eulogy, you will find many farangs squealing about its treatment of their accounts recently. I recently waited one hour for service whilst FOUR assistants managed to whittle the queue down by one!

Facebook Thailand censors nudity in any form. My GF posts videos/photos of me in the kitchen with my chest covered by a towel. On holiday in Spain this Summer, she avoided taking photos of people in swimming costumes.

'the Corrections Department is evaluating a programme under the 2023 Corrections Act for out-of-prison detention using electronic monitoring (EM) devices. Despite Thaksin's eligibility, limited EM resources pose challenges, with the department expecting new budget allocations by 2025.' I fully expect him to make a substantial contribution to the department's budget; he will be home before the month is out.

Anutin declared 1.09 billion baht in cash and deposits spread across more than two dozen bank accounts. Why does anyone need over 20 bank accounts? Meanwhile Bangkok Bank continues its war on 'dirty farangs'.

Can one buy croc eggs to release into the wild?

I get ChatGPT to translate my writing into Thai.

So how can you tell? I am a professional author (not very successful in Thailand); should I use AI to re-write my books? I use ChatGPT to translate submissions into Thai (tho' I am still ignored.)

Well I didn't and have always commented positively about Lewie's unique style. Maybe I should hand my opus over to ChatGPT?

Done. Thank you.

Thank you. I did try but the drop-down menu didn't work for IT.

I tried to put it on Computers but the drop-down menu doesn't work. I don't know if this is old news or I'm doing something wrong. I have a free VPN (Browsec) & ordinarily have it set to Singapore. If I switch it off, I get the above announcement. Is it everybody or just me?

Here, here. What next, a description of your latest turd?

18 kgs of weights + 40 kgs minimum body weight - the killer must have waded out dragging the suitcase behind him (her?). No wonder (s)he didn't get to deeper water.

If only Pattaya's police left their offices!

How does she qualify for this? I get £93 a week after 44 years service on a frozen state pension.

I watched a cement mixer driver turning off Suk into Tai yesterday; he had his window down, leaning nonchalantly out of his cab, steering with only his left hand. Lower down Tai, a couple of police were gleefully confiscating an illegally parked car.

Kuwaitis?

There has to be a reason the brakes fail; poor/no servicing. There has to be a reason why the driver was speeding in sight of the toll booth on a September afternoon. A competent police force would discover which. Alas we may never know.

Why would you take a gun to a funeral?

Promises, promises.

That stretch of road has been used as a racetrack for 15 years to my knowledge. You'd think a local cop would have picked up on this.

' the bar owner dared her to involve the police, boasting connections with a high-ranking officer,' Hmn, I wonder.

I question the word 'surprise' as a culprit is rarely found despite the battery of tests above.
