I don't have a high regard for Thai police. But, holding a police officer in a headlock and taking away his firearm!!! I fully expect that lengthy prison sentences will follow (unless the two perps can afford to pay their way out))

Seems obvious that the guy was drunk and not capable of giving consent to having the tattoo. I'd say that the tattoo "artist" (and any of his prankster mates) should be prosecuted for assault. Plenty of non permanent pranks are available if you need your fun.

If I recall correctly, the drilling (30m deep) including pipes and pump to the surface, cost 19,000 THB. Then I had to connect the water and power to the house myself and fit some valves to separate the house supply from the garden irrigation (maybe 3 or 4 thousand - plus my own hard labour). No solar (maybe later) @owl sees all could probably tell you whether your quote is reasonable.

Unless I've missed something, I think your calculation is a bit off. 24 tonnes is 24,000kg. 1 cubic metre of pork weighs a little more than 1 cubic metre of water (1 tonne). So 24 tonnes would occupy the space of approx. 24+ cubic metres.- less than one 40' container.

When my wife had a bore hole drilled on her land near Surin, the drilling rig arrived on the back of a normal size pick-up. I guess the size of the rig will depend on the depth of the bore and the soil/rock. Not my photo, but similar to this ... and very, very rusty.

Yes, he's still on page 1. The leaning tree was still upright in those days.

Seems like a fair verdict and they deserve prison time for their neglect. Maybe (hopefully) other parents of disturbed kids will learn something from this, but I doubt it.

I agree, but I would prefer if they were kept in the dark about cheese. I often find bogof deals in Big C when cheeses are nearing their "sell by" date. IMO these cheeses are even better tasting than when they were fresh on the shelves, but the locals are not buying them. I love me a ripe Brie or Camembert, especially at half price.

According to that, I'm an Aries and my wife is an Aquarius - but we were both born in July.

Is he dead?

Exhibitionism and voyeurism are very common sexual fetishes. Both are displayed in this topic. Personally, I think it's harmless so long as everyone involved is an adult.

What do they taste like? Asking for a friend (wife).

Uranus is a gas giant. I learned that from the Captain Underpants movie.

Good luck Kaokorn, but I think that "Songchai Nianhom, president of People for the Protection of the Monarchy Institution (Por-Por-Sor) and his team" will have you cancelled.

I think it's related to this topic

My Government Gateway account is showing that I owe 1,300+ GBP income tax from 2022/2023 and states that I will incur penalties if not paid by 27 March this year. I paid in December 2023.

I used the chat service a couple of weeks ago, after I read your previous post here. Yes, very helpful and confirmed that my payment was received. However, the advisor couldn't correct my Gateway account as that required a different department (simple Assessment Department). I'm still waiting for the promised call back.

I just looked at my Government Gateway account forecast for 2024/2025. Despite me informing DWP and HMRC that I reside in Thailand (I informed them when I moved here in 2005) they are still adding the UK State Pension increase into my total income. In the past 2 years HMRC has failed to collect the correct amount of income tax after my total income increased, due to receiving my state pension. I brought this to their attention more than one year ago and I paid around 1,800 GBP to set things straight. Even now, having paid the tax I owe by direct deposit to HMRC (I don't dispute the total Bill) my Government Gateway account still shows that I owe 1,300 GBP - (and the threat of penalties if I don't pay) and I will owe another 1,800 GBP next year. My tax history is very simple. I have been in the PAYE system since I was 15 years old. I'm now 68. Communicating with HMRC IME there are 3 options 1) Write a letter and get no reply, 2) Use the Gateway account and get no reply, 3) Phone call to HMRC - wait 30-40 minutes to speak to a human being then be informed that your issue is dealt with a different department who will call you back within 48 hours (but they don't). I was trying to make sure that I paid the correct amount of income tax (more than was deducted). What an absolute shambles. Rant over.

Looks like overnight parking is available. https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/asia/thailand/ubon-ratchathani-airport/

Or the same woman!

"Best beach" is very subjective. My top two ... 1. Cocklawburn 2. Bamburgh Bloody freezing 49 weeks of the year, and never crowded - even during those 3 weeks of sunshine.

I'd be interested to know how that pans out.
