“teams carried out detailed inspections across the runway and airport. These checks included the runway surface, lighting systems, navigation equipment and other safety infrastructure.” Says they did check the runway. So I guess that angle is covered

I was lucky. Got out on Ettihad at 8:30. Straight into Abu Dhabi where an air raid warning caused a two hour delay to my next flight.😒 Still, arrived safely in Europe, albeit delayed.

“Experts note this incident could strain diplomatic relations” Sounds a bit of a stretch. Who are these so called experts?

I never got a refund from Turkish airlines.

My drivers licence has several years to run. I somehow doubt this new system will be up and running by then. Not that I have anything to worry about anyway.

Yeah, it’s important to keep some perspective when lamenting your own ills. Which he did in a way insofar as he said it’s just one of those things.

I drove from Rawai to Phuket town this morning. Every gas station I passed had a queue out into the road

Trump only attacks dictators who aren’t his mates, that’s why. Putting on tin helmet and flack jacket now, plus amulet…..so any flame replies can’t hurt me. It’s just a joke, don’t get your knickers in a twist.

Not sure that he said that. He gave his own investment as an example, but simply suggested using sensible investment avenues. No suggestion that they only exist in the US.

Maybe this is human trafficking using different words 🤷‍♂️

I agree with your comments, but doubt that any of what you suggest will be done. Might be wrong, I know nothing of how the army conducts its operations other than when they throw a bunch of illegal immigrants into the back of a lorry like logs and most die. From what I know of how the rest of Thailand operates, a shrug of the shoulders is more likely. Very sad for the soldier, I hope he recovers as best as possible.

I don’t really understand how the lb took all that cash from his safe unless he left it open and unattended or gave the lb the combination/key and left the room. To then chase after the lb by himself was totally reckless. All in all, he made some pretty bad decisions.

Am I the only one worried that an amusement park apparently requires a hospital and medical centres? I mean the roller coaster rides are safe, aren’t they? Aren’t they?

Sounds like a typical politician being interviewed on tv, mostly blah blah blah. I guess it’s hard to expect anything else

What I want to know is: where is that immigration hall? I’ve been doing weekly trips to Singapore for medical treatment for the last 5 weeks and both incoming and outgoing flights the immigration hall in Phuket has been heaving, mostly with Russians from what I could discern. One day there was even a queue to get INTO the immigration hall.
