Me at Jomtien Immigration ...

Not just our neighbouring country. Just a few weeks ago in Bangkok, at least eight killed - but none were foreigners (sigh of relief from TAT).

Government pension is paid to civil service, armed forces, police, NHS, state school teachers, and the like. The State Pension is not covered in the UK/Thailand DTA - so it is liable to be taxed here. However, I received a letter from HMRC recently, on an unrelated matter, that stated that it is "protocol" to provide relief for any double taxation. An extract from the letter:

BarBoy (aka Bob) is not a newcomer.

The full video (pasted here a few pages back) shows that the guy spent a few seconds looking into the drain from different angles before deciding to climb over the fence. Maybe he saw something interesting - or something he had lost before. Anyway, he decided to climb down and take a better look. It's quite clear from the video that, in climbing down, he slipped backwards and disappeared into the ditch (possibly knocking himself unconscious). If he ended up face down in the waste water, his life would be over in a few minutes. Drunk or not, I think this is a reasonable explanation for this tragic and untimely death.

That kind of sarcasm could get you punched unconscious in some places (Soi Tung Kok, Village 1, Wang Krachae, for example).

It is annoying. If you click on the blue dot to the left of the topic title it will take you to the last unread post. If you have not previously viewed that topic it will take you to the first post.

That reminds me, I have my old Sooty and Sweep puppets to give away. Don't want any money, I just need someone to take them off my hands.

I expect that off-flavour beer might produce off-flavour bread. But it could be worth a try. I would hate to see beer poured down the drain.

If it smells okay, drink it. If it smells "off", don't drink it. Use it to wash your hair (combined with shampoo and eggs). Don't waste it.

I am sure we are all shocked that a member of the RTP could take a bribe.

Let's be honest. Good Samaritans are rarer than rocking horse poop in Pattaya. There's more to this story.

At least we can all agree with that.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 165 seconds  

That's the one.

I recall seeing a sign like this somewhere in the vicinity of Soi Diana, Pattaya some years ago ...

Good for you - no sarcasm. I'm sure that many retirees would be willing/eager to pay double that price to join the Thai Universal Coverage or Social Security schemes, if they were available.
