  1. The area to the West of HuaLampong station but before Yaowarat has also gone arty-farty. This translates as being more expensive for the privalage of sitting near rich Thai / Chinese offspring of now wealthy parents. The Mustang Blue cafe is an example. Beautiful colonial architecture but toffy nosed staff.
  2. I feel cheated. Been here 40 years but nothing as exciting has ever happened to me.
  3. Where was this. In a tourist area he won't long survive the attention of the police. I have seen foreigners doing similar things in rural areas but always with their wives / girlfriends. Enjoy your holiday, Glad you made it back safely.
  4. It's not the Lao khao per se , it's the quantity they drink. Same as vodka , tequila, gin ,rum etc. If you hammer any hard alcohol from dusk till dawn you are not long for this earth. Better to not touch any alcohol or drug at all. Even excessive carpet munching has been found to be detrimental to health. It's a wonderful life if you don't weaken.
  5. Since the legal system has never possessed either of these qualities , a fact every Thai knows , it seems strange that only now somebody is questioning it.
  6. Wheres the Polish bottom slapper when he's needed ?
  7. The assailant should at least replace the victims jeans that were badly torn in the assault.
  8. Like lost car keys then
  9. Coldest in 40 years they say. Slightly warmer here in Petchabun at 13 degrees. Warms up in the day but indoors can't get higher than 22 on account of all the insulation. I was looking forward to the cool season but now I've had enough. The sooner it gets up to a comforatable 20 the better.
  10. Those louvered windows facing onto the corridor are a bad idea. They might improve airflow but even when closed they let in too much outside noise.
  11. Population of the UK = 68,000,000 Population of Koh TAo = 8000 ( approx ) In a large population bound to be a few unexplained deaths. Given that the UK population is 8500 times larger than Koh Tao I am less surprised. As for seeing the autopsy results , you are probably correct. The story will probably die and we will hear nothing much more in the press , especially if nobody is interested.
  12. Thank you. I will. I will be interested to see the autopsy results . I think a spontaneous heart attack in an apparently fit young man needs further investigation..
  13. So ....you don't think anything at all one way or the other ? Interesting.
  14. Not his first dive though : 21-year-old Robby had a passion for scuba diving https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-news/thai-police-give-update-irish-30770524
  15. So you think he had an unknown condition ?
  16. You would think a close friend of several years might have known something had there been previous conditions. Robby’s long-time friend said he’d known him for around five to six years and was clueless about any pre-existing medical conditions that might have led to this tragedy. Neither have his family mentioned any .
  17. As 21 year old healthy young people with no previous conditions often do. That place seems to have bad joss unless it is the media putting a magnifying glass on it making it appear worse than it is. Who knows for sure. RIP young man.
  18. Both wife and I currently have these flu like symptoms. Bit of a bummer as I was looking forward to the cold weather this weekend. As it is , no energy to do anything and wrapped up in a jacket plus wearing socks around the house.
  19. Slightly off topic , but interesting. Dozens of British women have seen their breasts grow after the Covid jab - experts reveal why https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14263459/women-covid-jab-breast-enlargement-reaction.html Dozens of British women have reported their breasts ballooning in size after receiving a Covid vaccine, MailOnline can reveal. The revelation comes days after shocking images showed how a 19-year-old Canadian woman's breast quadrupled in size in what experts believe is a rare reaction to Pfizer's Covid jab dubbed the 'Pfizer boob job'. Now, MailOnline has uncovered data from the British drug medical safety watchdog showing 33 reports of similar cases of 'breast enlargement' following Pfizer's vaccine.
  20. Rule of law ???? Favouring political elites ??? Wot ? Here in Thailand ??? Nooooo.....never happens.
  21. I can't worry about this. Too cold here in Petchabun to worry about gas shortages in the UK. Only 13 degrees C this morning at 6.00 am. I was up in the night throwing an extra blanket on the bed. All made worse by wife going for a pee then getting back in the sack and trying to warm her hands on my wedding tackle. The horror , the horror. To think, I was looking forward to this but am now down with the flu as well. Be careful what you wish for.
  22. I find it strange that the mere mention of any of the Shinawatra clan sends some people into a frenzy of hatred and vitriol yet when there is a coup and the military prove to be just as corrupt they have nothing to say and go happily about their business. I guess they have no hatred left except for when a new party with real reforms wins the election then once again they find the energy to run around like headless chickens.
