The Bangkok Post did that in it's pictures also.  What is "the newspaper that can't be mentioned here" that you refer to?

The item on this on Channel 3 news at lunchtime had the shackles blurred out.

Went today and the stairs are very steep.

Maybe a way of getting rid of old pensioners.

Can anyone confirm that Khon Kaen immigration are open 5/6/7th of February?  Their web page has these dates blocked out as if they are closed (Chinese New Year) until Friday 8th.

Suthep left the party, they only have Abhisit left.

And when he loses......again.....he can always rely on his old friend to help him take power. (I bet Abhisit still has his whistle laying around at home, somewhere.)

Got the error a few times around 4.30pm today, O.K. now

Know when to hold, know when to fold.........know when to walk away!!!

From the OP " The judge chose not to suspend the imprisonment term, citing that the defendant had been riding at speed on a pedestrian footpath to avoid traffic jams for his personal gain and without any regard for the safety of others. His actions had also led to the injury of the damaged person, the judge explained. " 

I wonder what the judge would have decided had the defendant been the wealthy driver of an 'exotic, imported sports car' and the result of his actions had led to a death?

I saw that the next Republican candidate for President will be a guy called Kanye West.  When asked about his potential candidature he said, " Yo! Yo! East side, West side, Yo!.......Know what i'm Sayin' "  I think, in that statement, he was indicating that he would be a President for all Americans.  Would be good to have a less divisive person in the White House.

I was talking to a Finnish guy a couple of days ago, he had the same situation as the OP's friend.  He went to Khon Kaen immigration and they charged him 1,000 baht for two days overstay and 1,900 baht for his 30 day extension (dated from the original expiry of stay).  He said the staff were friendly and did not make a 'big deal' of him overstaying for a few days.

Thanks for the prompt response.

I get my UK company pension paid on the last working day of each month, this month the last working day in the UK is 31/12/2018 and so it will be paid on that day.  However, in Thailand New Years Eve appears to be a bank holiday so my question is will I receive my pension on the 31st. or will I have to wait until 2nd. January?  Usually the money is transferred from UK to Thailand and then forwarded to my account 'upcountry' on the due date, it usually arrives 10.15 - 10.45am.  Is this process automated or does it require human intervention?  If it requires a staff member to forward the payment to my account, do the banks have staff to do this on 'bank holidays'?  Thanks to anyone who knows.

I was at Wattay airport a couple of weeks ago, I had intended to use the Airport Shuttle bus from the bus station (Morning Market) but it only runs once every couple of hours, so no good to me.  I took a 'tuk-tuk' for 30,000 Kip (about 120 baht) which I thought was expensive until we got underway.  It was MUCH further than I had anticipated, took around 10-12 minutes to get there.   I would not have like to have walked it.

        The road to the airport has a pavement (sidewalk) all the way (but not on the road inside the airport)  with shops on both sides of the road, you are not really out of the city.

       At the entrance to the airport I seem to remember a security box but the tuk-tuk did not stop and was not challenged. 

But is his 'success' due to his talent? Or has family money 'purchased' his seat in the team?   As for living in Isaan, great place for an old geezer like me. 

Where do you go when the pollution makes the air quality become dangerous in Chang Mai?
