BNH is quite a bit more than some other Thai hospitals but if you have Dr. Wicharn it will be well worth the difference. He operated on my back 16 yr ago and I walked home 40 hr after surgery. Most hospitals will collect half just before your operation and the balance when you check out.

Maintenance and training…especially important on old helicopters.

Before the junta took over in the last coup sex toys were openly sold in the night market on Silom Road. This should be no big deal. Shouldn’t this be a protected job for Thai people only ?

BTS lines have been well managed for the 25 years they have been operating so I hope this continues in the future. It is interesting to note this article raises the possibility of adding 2 more cars to the trains- this would be the only way they could add enough capacity to offer low flat fares as the BTS lines currently operate near capacity. The costs for the low flat fare are prohibitive though and I can’t see the government absorbing these.

The 40 b flat fare is for 2 lines only which are run by the government. I cannot see this fare being offered on main BTS and MRT lines as it would cost too much and there is insufficient capacity. A payment card good for all lines has been promised since 2015 and there is no good reason why this could not be done with today’s technology.

500 to 700 to 730 and now to 1120 b. Very steep increase ! I just looked to see who owns AOT…it is 70% owned by Ministry of Finance and 30% owned by investors.

I think the offer for Frogmore is no longer on the table. Frogmore is owned by the Crown (not Charles who owns Sandringham ) and they want him out of Windsor.

I gave up on Airmail from USA long ago. Today it is possible to handle most things online and if you need something urgently (like a new credit card) it should be sent by express mail.

All of these Myanmar people with low level jobs which Thais don’t want should be allowed to work- arresting them just like their employers is not a good solution . Send the Russians home.

How can I book a 3 leg trip on Air Asia ? Their website and app have only round trip and one way.

Hookers on the street….privacy is not a reasonable expectation !

These boats are often made of paper thin fiberglass, usually overpowered and I question the number of passengers which these boats can safely handle.

Would dollars in an FX account have to be converted to baht before repatriation to USA ?

I read elsewhere that this new 40 b fare would apply only to the two lines which currently have 20b fares.

Regardless of the circumstances here I am willing to bet that the same ladyboys are committing crimes over and over. They probably keep them in jail one night and let them go in the morning with a small fine. Isn’t it time to lock up the serial offenders and lose the key for a while ?

He declined treatment for the cervical condition during his stay in luxury suite at Police General. Maybe he kept this condition in reserve for a Get Out Of Jail pass later if needed.

A .25% increase every year for 4 years would be relatively painless; they could have been at 8% a couple of years ago. Now I wonder where they will find the funds needed.

Maybe the ladyboys should have a curfew !

Another Chinese funded airport in Cambodia ? Was really surprised by the size and location of the new Siem Reap airport when I traveled there last year. It seemed they were using about 10% of the airport’s capacity and so far away from tourist area.

A child that young should not be subjected to the alleged conditions in the Thai Immigration Detention Center.

Every time they talk about raising VAT there are many objections. If this had been increased by .25% a year for 4 years it would be at 8% now with little pain realized.

Shortly after the announcement I read that the extra $250 would be refunded when the applicant returned to his/her country. If this is true things are not as bad as they appeared to be in this article.
