What a useless war; the two titans of Thailand playing cat and mouse in Indochina's biggest kindergarten. The bill is picked up by the respective governments and thousands (provided these figures are correct) are wasted for nothing but face. What has Thailand and Cambodia become?

Well, well, here we go again. This time it was Mr Hemanth Kumar who was strolling in the "early hours of yesterday morning" prior to the pristine sunrise over the Bay of Ladyboys. He might have made an error when he reported the loss, was it 40 grammes or rather 40 kilogrammes? What a load of we-all-know-what-this-is-all-about. If the story is true, then it serves him right. The BiB in Pattaya will do absolutely nothing as proven over and over and over again. Law enforcement to the finest degree 😉

Well, in other words, if the Pakistani start a naval quarrel with Thailand there is at least a balanced availability of war toys .... well done!

Marks & Spencer might be well advised to get professionals into their Human Resources department. Should M&S really feel the necessity to hire Chicks with we-all-know-what, then put those "ladies" into the car accessory or gentlemen clothing section. &nbsp All this transgender business really blew all borders and it is a law of nature for billions of years that there are only two genders. If M&S sees this differently, then act as noted above. Otherwise my suggestion to the esteemed clientele would be to vote with their feet; to the best of my limited knowledge brasseries are not an exclusivity of M&S. What nonsense this all is; well done by the mother of the teenage daughter.

I am absolutely appalled by the hopeless arrogance of these banks. Vote with your feet and change the bank as those pr1kcs are just overdoing it with such racist nonsense of the finest order. Wondering if the top floor on 333 Silom Road with the little "Sophonpanich" name tags on the doors know about what their underlings are doing with a customer base, which holds by average considerably more money at sh1tty conditions than the average Somchai in Nakorn Nowhere .........

So, after ruining TG and parking perfectly functioning fleet aircraft all over Thailand it is - after all - shopping time again. 7/11 for everybody, unlike the original 7/11 there is no cashier nor bill checker on the way out 😉 Happy days for the selected few!

Not enough air in the water pump reservoir. Air is needed as you cannot compress water to build up pressure. Disconnect the electricity and loosen the screws on the water outlet (on the right hand side of the pump in the picture); the one close to the bottom. Then insert a normal big drinking straw with a corner in such a way, that air can get into the water pump reservoir which will result in water flowing out through the same outlet. Once all the water is out, remove the straw, reaffix the water pipe (check that the rubber seal is clean) and tighten the connector with its two screws back to the pump reservoir. Finally plug in the pump again and Bob's your uncle.

Maybe I am the odd one out but after having lived here for decades I realize, that I am reading the very same news on an almost yearly basis. Among them are steamrollers over faked Rolex watches, the aliens drinking beer during non-alcohol time slots in the afternoon during their vacation and ...... yes, the replenishment of beach sand. The query I have is, where on Earth do they get all that sand from, against how much money and why has nobody understood yet, that nature dictates where sand is to be and where not? Guess it keeps Somchai the trucker and Yodsak with his shovels busy while Sakchai at the city hall ensures, that some of the money from the governmental budget is actually being spent on work performed indefinitely at the beaches of Pattaya and Jomtien. Keep up the good work!

Or maybe a pigeon racing for Thailand in the world championship of pigeon race? What a hilarious end of the week - thank you for that!

a) Thailand tries to pull third parties into a bilateral conflict; smart envoys will ensure not going for this school trip but send a third, forth or fifth secretary as a place holder b) the picture of the "damaged" house looks like many places all over Thailand which were left to disintegrate. Illegal dwellers on empty land moving on or Somchai the neighbour after a final fall out with the Missus after she found out, that there were many other "Missuses" in the race c) a result of a storm evidently proving the building quality of many homes here Cool it, clean up the mess, clear the political stage once and for all and all this rattling of the cage will be (hopefully) a thing of the past.

Absolutely correct; UN was sufficient for the auto correction, the UN body is UNESCO and not UNICEF - I stand corrected; thank you!

Read my entire article, will you please? Thailand, Cambodia and Laos are presently designated to look after those historic sites, may collect entrance fees for basic maintenance under the supervision of UNICEF. They belong to the world, neither the ICJ nor Cambodia existed a thousand years ago ....... Common sense prevails

Surprise surprise ........ are these geeks at the tourism office for real - honestly??????

Those perks for the semi-divine chosen Thais don't work for Thais either as they have no money left to spend. The chicken come home to roost as unpaid bills are mounting, unpaid houses mean sleepless nights and unpaid cars are not using tollways. Temples of Show-Off in the suburbs of Bangkok come at a very high price like ignoring needs and time for their own children and tensions among partners. Thais use money they do not have to buy things they don't need to impress people they don't like. The last thing on their mind is going on holidays; subsidized or not! As said, vote with your feet and walk away; you ultimately are in charge and control of what you spend for what.

Not quite so, it is because of an oligarch kid in the kindergarten called "Thailand Elite" named Thaksin misbehaved and thought to be mightier than the mighty. After getting overrun by the political bus 19 years ago he continued to throw his own sister and six weeks ago his youngest daughter under the same bus. On the other side of the play pen there is another geek called Hun Sen who parked his three sons befittingly in key positions within the Cambodian government. He never managed to rename the country into Hunland, likewise Thaksinland never materialized. These two individual persons, their ego, their corrupt mind and endless greed for power and money are directly responsible for this absolutely avoidable mess which will leave scars in the economies of both countries and will take generation(s) to heal the hatred and rift between these two people who are so similar to each other. The Khmer temples, from Western Thailand across both sides of the Dongrek mountain chain to the morning temple of Wat Phu in Southern Laos' province of Champasak are Khmer, not Cambodian, not Laotian and not Thai. All these political definitions of country names today were nowhere a few hundred years ago, lest a thousand years ago when those temples were built!
