    An inactive post means they miss out on their share of the Christmas Party Fund.

    Makes a change from the usual minivan crashes. Now we have them crashing into each other. As an aside, why do they call them minibuses? Nothing mini about them. Quite the opposite, in fact. Note to media outlets: they are passenger vans.

    Is this a different bomb attack to the one we read of a couple of days ago which was a misunderstanding (we meant to bomb someone else).

    I have flown all the domestic services, some of them dozens of times. I've found Thai Lion to be the best, and after I had my fifth Nok flight cancelled or delayed, and reading how underpaid their pilots are (resulting in staff shortage and flight cancellations, no doubt) I stopped using them. I've had no problems to speak of with any of the other domestic carriers.

    Isn't it? Not that it being illegal would make any difference. The legality or otherwise of anything in Thailand is entirely irrelevant.

    I wouldn't fly an airline with such an unprofessional name, and I'd rather take the bus knowing who is behind it. I lost count of the number of Nok flights I've seen cancelled on the departures board.

    And all the parents who said 'okay, you can have sex with my daughter and as long as you pay us we won't complain'. What a messed up country Thailand is.

    And, as it's said that an average of two people an hour are killed on Thai roads, with 80% of Thai road deaths being motorcyclists, there were plenty more killed in addition to this one. This made the news, most don't. I have no idea why that is.

    Last time I did an extension I just took a bunch of photos and let the IO choose the ones he wanted and to do the sticking thing. We had copies of each and he actually chose two identical ones which I had to point out to him. Some jobs are just so hard. Unlike at some offices, we only have to supply one set of documents but had extra of everything in case the rule today was different to the rule yesterday.

    I applied for a marriage extension for the first time three years ago. Before that, I had travelled a lot or did border runs, but Covid put an end to that. At that time we had been married 29 years, confirmed by the marriage certificate, yet they STILL did a house visit. No reason for them to suspect anything was wrong, but they came anyway (and got a large bag of mangos from the garden )

    Wrong way round. As usual, Thailand does things backwards. You conduct inspections BEFORE reassuring people, not after. Even if the reassurance is a lie anyway, to avoid panic and unrest in society, as they love to spout.

    Many parents only have kids as an insurance policy for their old age. They have zero interest in being parents.

    Same to the school director who wanted the media to hush it up. And this happens over and over and over What a primitive society Thailand has.

    He says all nightlife venues in the area have now been ordered to close by 1.00am Why? Why punish all nightlife venues because of what occurred at one place? What does that achieve, especially in anything relating to the case? The usual, and pointless, using a hammer to crack a nut approach which Thais excel at. Why don't any of these useless reporters ask WHY?
  15. Bangkok Barry
    Amazing resemblance.

    If someone is ruthless why not say 'ruthless'? Calling ruthlessness scorched earth makes no sense at all to me. Just my opinion.
  17. Bangkok Barry
    What does this mean? Scorched earth has no meaning other than being earth damaged by fire. How does it apply to a report about Trump? If it means something other than earth damaged by fire, why not say so instead of saying something that means nothing?

    I suppose that building the roads properly is out of the question? In the 30+ countries I've been to I've never seen cars having to avoid the nearside lane because the surface is too poor to drive on.

    Always someone else's fault in Thailand, isn't it. The mentally-ill gunman was only expressing his opinion about nothing in particular while firing at those who tried to calm the situation.
  20. Bangkok Barry
    They'll probably make an announcement on April 3rd or thereabouts. They did something similar during the Covid extensions, announcing a few days after one expired that it would continue. That's the way Thailand works.

    Dreadful 'English'. Why would they want to avenge a rival? Pure nonsense. Normal here. We just have to sigh, but know what they meant to write if they were proficient in English.
  22. Bangkok Barry
    You are right, but it's a pity they couldn't find a better role model. I mean, it's a very big country, and he is the best that can represent the Washington haters?

    You've forgotten that Finland especially with it's long border, and Sweden, have applied to join NATO

    And, of course, so many Thais and even aliens such as us use Citibank. Ridiculous to limit cc sales to a tiny, minute part of the population.

    A friend of mine is a Dutchman, and the Dutch know a thing or 10 about legal sales of weed. He told me that Thais are mixing in dried grass to enhance their profits. I have no idea if it's true as I have zero knowledge or interest in cannabis, but would anyone be surprised, knowing how 'enterprising' Thais can be.
