    RTP.

    'The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.' As is the source of the one million baht she didn't put in the bank?

    They do this every day. Until you see police out on the roads nothing will change.

    Wasn't it yesterday there was a parade of high-ranking RTP officers strolling down WS & milking the photo-ops?

    A ground-breaking first! I've been in this area over five YEARS & seen ONE cop out doing his shopping. They don't even show up for the traffic mayhem during rush hour.

    Report him to the police ... oh.

    Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

    Ripley's 'victim' is a painter; they view a Caravaggio; their view is of stunning Italian coastline; it's difficult to tell if the Picasso on the wall is from his 'blue' period. There's a discussion about how hideous the colours of a dressing gown is. For all that it's riveting.

    But why shoot it in Black & White? I am terrified neighbours will call round and think I don't have a colour TV. Only one episode in and find it very slow after 'Renegade Nell'. I just started 'A Gentleman in Moscow'. Ewan McGregor stars despite sporting the most ludicrous false moustache I've seen on TV!

    It took Plod 3 years to find this activity. I can point to a dozen addresses where this goes on; AND they're not FAKE!

    Even the Thais are fleeing Songkran. I'd risk an earthquake to avoid Pattaya Waste-of-Water Festival. I went to Makro yesterday & can now withstand three weeks of famine and flood.

    The Ambassador Hotel Na-Jomtien is 20 clicks from U-Tapao. Watch this space. Its population increases by 300% at weekend as Malay men cross the border for Thai Oats.

    Tax the ex-pat pensioners.

    They can't even get black-smoking pickups off the road.

    Agree 100%. Going back nearly 20 years I remember a Thai politician urging Thai women to marry farangs. They rarely stoop to the violence dished out by Thai men; nor do they flee in the face of morning sickness. There are two more teaching graduates thanks to my intervention + every year at least 3 of my friends and family add to the tourist numbers. Malaysia seems to understand the value of ex-pats.

    The economy is going down the drain and they are (perhaps) promising a frigate AND a sub! Neither are any good against unarmed students.

    AKA Eliminating the Competition.

    Another Thai who does not agree with the War on Air Pollution.

    Meanwhile people are dying from carcinogenic air; dangerous roads. The Thai public have just seen a stolen election; the top two cops accused of corruption yet the populace is buzzing about mangos.
  20. mikebell
    In private that figure would be far lower.

    Can foreigners enter the monkhood to escape their debts?
  22. mikebell
    Is that why so many Thais use the verges of roads?

    I'd pay him 100 baht a week to de-gecko my house. Sick of the incontinent beggars crapping on every surface & scaring me by jumping out of cupboards and curtains. Any tips gratefully accepted.

    Getting a job as a teacher in some schools is also dependent on tea-money; my step-daughter couldn't afford the 300,000 demanded by the unprincipled principal.

    Agree totally. Some Thai foods should be classed as contraceptives; necessitating different beds or a cheap single room in a nearby hotel. Many a girl has gone without my company when I get a whiff of her two-day-old Somtam.
