Maybe they can spread April Fools Day across 3 weeks as well

I love how this works ... announce a 3 week Songkran, then have a meeting to discuss and plan it.  What could possibly go wrong.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will hold meetings next week with the Culture and Interior ministries, the private sector and other relevant agencies to discuss details of this year’s Songkran celebrations,

As Thailand is a signatory to the Rome Convention (membership to the International Criminal Court) they would have to arrest him when he touches down on Thai soil.

Brake failure, Micro Naps, Wet Roads all may be part of the cause of an accident, but they are not an excuse ... negligence should be prosecuted.  Saying you had brake failure does not excuse you from the results of your negligence.

After a year underwater it isn't worth salvaging.  The money should be spent on stabilising the wreck to ensure no further environmental damage.  Drain the fuel bunkers, remove any explosives and let the diving community use it.  Of course, as it was not prepared as a dive site, there is considerable danger and snag hazards.

My question is "Why is there a camera in the bedroom"?

Another thing about Russian rudeness that may apply to many other groups as well. Pretty decent to deal with individually but when in GROUPS, Katie bar the door!

This is true of every country.  Individuals are usually fine and genuine, but in a pack that all changes.  I try to avoid large groups but will chat with anyone one on one ... and I seem to meet great people.

It's not the customers mistake ... when has a restaurant ever let you type in your own amount? The Cashier would have typed the amount and the customer probably did not notice the extra 0 when entering the PIN.

Still ... good on the restaurant for trying to fix it.

A grim accident in Nonthaburi claimed the life of a delivery guy who slammed into a bus. It was caused by an old person crossing the road under a pedestrian bridge. 

 

Last Sunday I came within a whisker of dispatching an aging monk who was crossing Phahonyothin within yards of a similar bridge. I’m glad I have the best part of a million kilometers on the roads under my belt or I could have made the news myself. 

Those senior folk with aging knees and hips can not manage the stairs in many cases.  I don't know what the best answer is ... certainly lifts or elevators would be way to expensive.

How does this fit in with the "To avoid catching it, don't have sex with foreigners" scenario now that Thai Nationals have it?

Really a photoshoot of the handing over cheque the "grieving" family in a temple, just when you thought people couldn't stoop any lower.

I don't know ... The Mountain B "show bags" presented to the ladies were, to my mind, lower

How does this assembly ban fit in with the Pattaya Music Festival (and other events)?
