  1. More in the UK tabloids : https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14225635/British-woman-arrested-breaking-glass-table-attempting-sex-hotel-lobby-fighting-police-spends-Christmas-Day-Thai-prison-cell.html Pattaya on the east coast of Thailand is a two-hour drive from the main airport serving the capital Bangkok. It is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations alongside the capital and Phuket in the south. It is also the most debauched - with bars and massage parlours lining most roads in the city and hundreds of thousands of young women working in the sex trade. Thailand's role in aiding the United States in the second Indochina War against Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia led to the region growing into a sex tourism destination for American GIs on rest and relaxation breaks. Well live and learn eh. I bet there are not many of us who knew this.
  2. My bad. A quick glance made it look like the United Kingdom were the recipients. The surprising thing is I wasn't surprised.
  3. You should take him to one of those no hands restaurants ( if they still exist ) . You both might enjoy it. I heard the desserts are pretty good.
  4. Always chicken but differently prepared. Sometimes they get a fried chicken carcase which the vender puts through a grinder. This is mixed with dry dog food and rice to bulk it out. But too much fried food not good so they mostly get chicken carcases ( 21/ kilo ) from Big C which I boil to soften and cook then finely chop with a meat clever. They hang around trying to catch bits that fly off the chopping board. If I can't be bothered to do that I buy minced chicken carcase and cook it in a large pan with a little salt and water to make a gravy with it. All this is always mixed with rice and dog food. If I see chicken or pork livers on reduction I get these, chop up and mix with the carcase for a different flavor. About once a fortnight I'll throw in a large tin of tuna or sardines for different flavor plus the fatty oils are good for their skin. If I see any pork or frankfurturs on reduction they also get these. Feed twice a day , morning and evening but never to excess. There are 4 of them , all previously soi dogs. Now its cold in the evenings we throw 4 old towels down on the balcony and put a mosquito coil in the middle. They like to huddle around this for a bite free night. When it is cold I take them on a 2 mile walk along a shady creek. They love this but in hot season not possible.
  5. Not to be confused with his namesake
  6. Thailand is fast becoming the hub of all things seamless. I suppose the ultimate aim will be a lot more generals and maybe one private for each province.
  7. I wish I did. I would find the man who wrote jingle bells and persuade him to take up farming or teaching...anything except song writing .
  8. Probably worth a watch. Thailand’s Oscars entry is taking the world by storm. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/how-to-make-millions-before-grandma-dies-netflix-oscars-uk-release-b2667730.html Thai blockbuster How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, one of the 15 films shortlisted under the International Feature Film category at the Oscars, will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland next week. The only Southeast Asian film shortlisted in its category, How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies has been a hit both at the domestic box office and with critics. Grossing an estimated $78.3m worldwide, the film has become the highest-grossing Thai film of 2024 and eleventh-highest of all time in the country even, as well as breaking box office records in other Asian countries.
  9. Why is the dog looking sheepish ? Was it in someway involved or am I barking up the wrong tree ?
  10. Theirs is not to question why , theirs is but to do and buy.
  11. Yup, I have also used Eva almost exclusively for over 20 years and never had this before so hopefully just a one off . Nonetheless Eva is not as good as it used to be since post covid they now charge for things that were previously free . Date changes and seat allocation for example. Other airlines also do this so just a sign of the times.
  12. Sad to say , this reminds me of my Eva Air flight back to Thailand last year. Full of overweight mongers on their way to party in Pattaya. They just would not stay in their seats despite air hostesses asking nicely. I had a seat by the emegency exit for the legroom but the area in front of me turned into a meeting place. Never had this on Eva Air before but with BA no longer flying LHR to BKK the plane was completely full. Might try an alternative airline next trip or maybe I was just unlucky.
  13. Seamless + Thai apps = 🤣
  14. Not a great beer country if you don't like lager. Whenever they announce a new beer it is just another lager.
  15. Tissues please. I'm just a big softie.
  16. Bake my own and fill will black sesame seeds, pumpkin kernels and sunflower kernels all of which are anti inflammatory.
  17. They just do as they are ordered so as to keep their pay cheque's coming. Just a bunch of rubber stampers.
  18. Good for him. A generous and proactive gesture. At least he is actually trying to do something to help.
  19. Why only at night ? I have not yet seen a report of these things operating in the daytime ?
  20. I wish I had the spare time to get bored. What a luxury , nothing to do.
  21. Try telling that to some of the posters here , especially in the Ukraine thread.
  22. Wormholes to you Will. Wormholes.
