  1. The guy in the white jacket is Guntouch. I assume the victim is the guy with a mask and sunglasses, on the left.
  2. I had some friends come to visit recently. I recommended ... An all day pass on the skytrain green line, getting off at various points of interest (including JJ Market). An all day pass for the tourist river ferry, again off/on at points of interest A half day at the Royal Palace/Wat Phra Kaew. A dinner cruise on the river on their last night. They had a great time and can't wait to come back. My granddaughters are due to visit next year. They are dog lovers, so I will take them to the Husky Cafe (True Love at Neverland) in Phaya Thai. My wife, daughter and I had a great afternoon there last year (to my surprise, as I am not really a great dog lover).
  3. Lando definitely gained a great advantage from the team strategy (around lap 48?). What I don't understand (but I'm willing to be advised by F1 aficionados) is why he didn't let Oscar swap places earlier, then they could have raced each other in the remaining 22 laps to the finish.
  4. Purrrrfectly normal. unless you hear your cat answer back.
  5. Agree. How about re-entry permits online, or residency certificates. They already have all our info.
  6. Down on Sunday morning, back up on Monday morning. Considering there is a 15 day window to report, I can't see that there will be many (if any) inconvenienced. Credit where credit is due, this online reporting has been a great success for most (noting that some people seem not to be able to use it).
  7. I didn't look, very sorry. Another here https://www.lazada.co.th/products/zorin-pure-cotton-solid-color-jacquard-multipurpose-towel-quilt-air-conditioner-blanket-double-queen-king-456feet-size-i3969420956-s15355320765.html?
  8. Lazada? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/cotton-terry-towel-blanket-for-bed-home-gray-blue-bed-cover-adult-student-dormitory-bedspread-retro-floral-sofa-blankets-throw-i3506215325-s13046602030.html?
  9. According to this ... https://www.acs.org/pressroom/presspacs/2010/acs-presspac-august-4-2010/fast-forensic-test-can-match-suspects-dna-with-crime-samples-in-four-hours.html 4 hours is possible. But I doubt that such service is available here.
  10. Just saying that the "toast" suggestion is a possibility. The tea/coffee could have been consumed prior. I have not read any official confirmation that the poison was in the tea/coffee cups (nor the glasses).
  11. In the BBC news report you posted in a related topic, the reported said that 6 glasses were found - each with dna traces of one of the 6 victims.
  12. Tops, but probably not in all branches, https://www.tops.co.th/en/olivado-extra-virgin-avocado-oil-250ml-9421009030019
  13. Tops have it, but not always. https://www.tops.co.th/en/search/lard
  14. But no lessons were learned and, in 2023, this young boy was able to buy the chip which led to his death.
  15. Bob. Just my thoughts. Did you work for the NHS and get paid by the local authority, or did you work for NHSBSA - providing services for the NHS? If you were paid by the local authority during your career and NHSBSA are just the people administering your pension, then I'd think you have a Government pension. If you worked for NHSBSA, maybe it's non government. Would be a good idea to write to your pension provider asking for clarity.
  16. Government pensions are covered in the UK/Thailand DTA. Here is a list of Government/Non Government pensions according to HM Gov. https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm343040 You will notice that National Insurance pensions (which I assume means State Pension) is, oddly, not a Government pension.
  17. My wife discovered recently that car wash liquid will remove the white deposit on our glass shower partition. Applied undiluted with a sponge.
  18. I think, when it comes to wanting a taste from home, we prefer the taste of the things we grew up with. For example: When I am recovering from an illness, only Heinz tomato soup hits the spot. Nothing wrong with Batchelors or Baxters, but they're not what I crave. Of course, you are correct about the duty and taxes.
  19. Wife, daughter, passports and bottled water.
