City Hall, there is an English speaker hotline I believe on 1337

Local old bill usually like these kinds of matters as well because of illicit finds which make them look good with lots of finger pointing unless it's case of "do you know who I am"

'a case of do you know who I am" - ah yes, someone with Alzheimer's.

Thank you Mr Sofa you are a veritable ceaseless fountain of knowledge .. J G will get a smack across the head offa the flock for making such a schoolboy error .. but I'm intrigued why do people put fish in a kettle .. won't it make the tea taste a bit 'well fishy .. 

Ha ha, no prob. There again I was a telecoms engineer in a previous life.

With those fish - it does make subsequent cups of tea tastes odd. You put me in my plaice there.

These crimes wouldn't work if nobody would buy these very special cables.

Hopefully the police will follow up where they planned to sell those cables.

True.

However the cables are sold for scrap, not reused. Therefore the value is purely for the weight of the copper cable without any insulation.

It's usually scrap dealers who tend to buy them, making tracing virtually impossible, as they know the copper will be melted down to be reused.

Looking at the photo the cable are multi-pair copper cables, perhaps 100 or 200 pair, but difficult to say how many.

The cables on the concrete floor in the video look to be maybe 20/50 pair.

 

Would they be used for 'phone and internet use .? I always thought that heavy multi core copper cables were used for electricity .. but I'm no telecoms or internet engineer .. 

Oh ye with dyslexia!???? I wrote 'multi-pair', not 'multi-core'. Yes, multi-core is used for electricity supply cables, to allow for flexibility.

For an analogue (normal voice) telephone or fax line it needs one pair of wires from the phone/fax all the way to the telephone exchange.

Multi-pair means, say, ten subscribers with ten different phone numbers need ten pairs of cables.

Internet and fibre-optics is another kettle of fish entirely.

Is the G for 'grope', or 'group sex'?

Belonged to a couple of wine clubs US and they send two bottles a month to your residence. Their has to be someone min 21 years old to accept delivery...

You're talking of a country that generally follows rules.

Only last night I went to the shop next door to us, to be given an EMS package addressed to us. As we weren't at home, the shop-owner signed for it. Helpful yes, but against the rules to deliver it to another address.

Still waiting for a check point to check and make sure people are wearing underwear 

Having to <deleted> in a plastic cup to prove you aren't intoxicated is already a step in the good direction

maybe the police guy pick a boo at your underwear while you are doing this ? 

A plastic cup with CCTV installed?

Perhaps someone might describe such a checkpoint as 'show and tell'?

I'm still waiting to see this sign in a toilet:

Lucky you 22 degrees, here in Issan this morning only 16 degrees, bloody freezing.

Lying on my bed with 2 blankets on me, on my second coffee already.

It was 16 degrees in Udon last night too. Unlike you, I'm only my first cup of tea.

i don't know the details, i just have read something in the news few weeks ago

but Paypal is hoping coming back in Thailand next year

https://www.paypal.com/th/webapps/mpp/home?locale.x=en_TH

I saw that too, but didn't read it as I thought it was just marketing blurb. I've had a Paypal account for thirteen years.

I've never noticed any restrictions or changes having appeared on the account?
