When RTP do the illegal re-enactment; another photocop opportunity. -
If I watch horror I get bad dreams! 'Beyond Paradise' (old but S2 coming up) is gentle comedy with some characters that we can care about. Saw 1st 2 'Shogun' episodes last night; absolutely sumptuous and the bonus for the hard of hearing (me) is 70% of the dialogue is in Japanese with clear subtitles.

Chon Buri apartment owner battles raucous bars in neighbourhood

The last word is laughable. None of the three parties above move at more than a snail's pace. There will be committees formed; meetings held; action plans drawn up; all to no avail. Thais like their bass rhythm; their pick-ups are mere boom-boxes; speaker vans are the most ludicrous selling mechanism ever invented creating slow-moving jams alienating potential customers and polluting the area. If the customers are there till turned 2am every night then they can't have a job which has normal working hours. -

AOT and immigration unite to tackle Suvarnabhumi Airport queues
mikebell replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is unfortunately the one nearest my family. On my last year's visit I was harangued in broken English by one of the workers for putting my case on a belt five seconds before he was going to give me permission. I was 81 and roundly cursed. -
More incentives for growers not to burn sugarcane before harvesting

Downloading now. Thank you.

Thanks for these; the only one I've not seen is 'The North Water'. Checking on it now.

'Finders Keepers'. Finished it and liked it. A satisfying ending tho' not without grounds for a 2nd series. There was no explicit sex scenes; no changes of sexual orientation; at three episodes there was little padding out; characters clearly differentiated; decent dialogue and a real plot. Now I'm looking for new suggestions: Crime Drama; Costume Drama; not into Sci Fi tho' just finished 'The Last Airbender' which ticked a few boxes.

He probably joined the monkhood to escape other criminal charges. -
Of course they did; 'a bag, a denim jacket, a black electric scooter, 590 baht in cash, a can of beer, two smartphones, and one roll of cannabis.' AKA SWAG.
