Back in the UK, our neighbours were noisy duckers. Especially when their bed headboard kept hitting the wall separating the two houses.
Kids jumping up and down on the bed?
They were the end result, yes.

I am absolutely staggered that anyone finds it acceptable to make any noise that disturbs someone else's peace and quiet.....anywhere in the world.
Just like respect should be automatic and only ever lost......peace and quiet should be the order of the day and never unnecessarily broken.

They moved the substitution day to the 11th.
The 5th is in red since it still recognized as a holiday.
OK, thanks. I wasn't aware the substitution day moved to 11th.
In the past I think it was always on the following Monday if it fell on a weekend.

I just edited my post above, mentioning the substitution day.

Immigration is open tomorrow like all other government offices.
I thought 5 Dec was still a public holiday according to this, and tomorrow is the substitution holiday for it?

Nah, those were just 'vague' controls.

Being pedantic, that doesn't mean there haven't been any, they just haven't been detected.

With a good scrubbing it would look white again.
I’d imagine it’s had its fair share of scrubbers in there.
But none with covid, obviously.

Reminds me of the well known poster for Skegness (on the English east coast)
It originated in 1908 by a railway company promoting trips to the town.
It's a marketing coup in my opinion - some must have thought how can we make somewhere so cold and windy to appear attractive? I know, we'll call it 'bracing'.
Having spent a few holidays there with my parents I hated every day of it.

That's so we can't see his mouth moving.
The old saying - how can you tell if a politician is lying? You can see his lips moving.

'taking office' - with the emphasis on taking. How apt.

Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew has urged employers of migrant workers on the island to report any migrant workers who are believed to have illegally entered Phuket as part of the island’s campaign targeting migrant workers for suspected COVID-19 infections.
Logically (flawed I know), does this mean that employers don't normally bother report them?

Yes, looking at the photo the headlights do appear to be non-functioning.
Thailand does seem to follow the basic law of magnetism, in that 'unlike poles attract each other' - vehicles and power poles.

I'm not surprised you can't take anything seriously from him. It's ironic that a health minster seems to suffer from foot-in-mouth disease.

3 hours ago, rooster59 said:"To gain confidence among tourists, the Chiang Mai governor has assured that the provincial authorities will not impose lockdown measures. He also said that Covid-19 tests on people who had been in contact with patients had yielded 99.99 per cent negative results," she said.
Where does '99.99 per cent negative results' come from?
It seems to me for that to be correct, using the quote below does that mean if two were positive, they must have test something like 19,800 people?
I did this by: two people at 99% would be 198 tested, then multiply by 100 to find 99.99% =19,800 people tested.
If my maths is incorrect, I'm quite willing to be corrected.According to another article:
"The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration on Saturday reported 19 new cases over a 24-hour period.
The new patients included two domestic cases. The two patients had been in contact with infected patients."

Do you really think pliers, no matter how big, could possibly cut through that size of wire?
Perhaps it could be a Thai>English translation error, or even poor reporting of what the tools were.
They could possibly have been large cutters or specialist cable cutters that a journalist would have no understanding of.
They were described as "a gang of five contractors of a private internet cable company," so they knew what to do.

BIB took everything into custody except the sharp knives or whatever they used to CUT the cables with. It will get thrown out of court.
How do you work that out?

But remember that just before the democratic election that was held here, the Land Transport Department wanted to increase the fines for unlicensed riders and drivers and unregistered vehicles and the now democratically elected Prime Minister stopped it from happening because it would upset the people who were not licensed and were driving unregistered vehicles and he was afraid they would not vote for him
Or the time he said people could no longer sit in the rear open area of a pick-up truck, as it was not safe.
The next day he backed down.

The week that was in Thailand news: Thailand: It Ain’t Half Cold Mum!
in Thailand News Headlines
Posted
Maybe you like the cold weather, but I for one don't. Different people enjoy different temperatures.
When I go to visit my friend locally, he has the aircon on all day at 22C and I have to take a coat, as I'm cold.
Last night in Udon it was 13C and was cold - by my standards, obviously not yours.
We only switched the fan on this afternoon when was warmer. Now at 7pm it's already down to 19C. I see the forecast for tonight says it will be down to 14C.
I like the hot weather, I have no intention of going back to the cold UK. The last time I went there it was 6C and my friend living there thought it was fine.
