Actually, sports or running shoes don't seem to be a problem here in Bangkok. I find most of the top brands have wide shoes.
The problem for me is daily shoes. Most shoes nowadays are very narrow fitting and quite pointed. I am sure that if I found a pair that fitted me they would look like skis.
I can sometimes find Clarks or Ecco with a wide fitting but is very rare. I often end up buying shoes simply because they fit, not because I like them.
I am a size 45 or 46 but very wide.

I don't suppose many people will even bother to read this post as sadly, it is almost every day news in Thailand. It hasn't been mentioned in the news section here.
What drew it to my attention was that is was mentioned on Sky News Tv and is reported in several foreign newspapers through Reuters.
I think it is very sad when an accident of that magnitude is almost an every day affair that it isn't mentioned in Thai news.
Anyway RIP to those that died and to all others - take care on the roads.

"shared nude photos of them on Facebook"
not the brightest, then
I guess the police will follow up on those who clicked "like".

Nothing complicated in uninstalling all AVG parts and reinstalling the free version, really.
Just don't forget to restart computer between the two phases.
And if you're unhappy with his (I can understand you'd be) just install another free a/v, there are many: Avast, Avira...
Believe me there is.
I had the same problem. I tried to uninstall but not all components were removed.
Now I cannot do anything. Can't remove the rest. Can't reinstall.
I have used AVG as long as I can remember and never had problems until now.
I am thinking of doing a clean install of Windows 10 , but apart from AVG I don't have any other problems.

They're not very good at thinking.
Are they?
Why not put it on your ID card how many kids you've had, where you bank, do you drink, do you smoke, if so how much, average bank balance, divorced, single, remarried, widowed, whether or not you use toilet paper or a bum gun (or both), how many times a day you brush your teeth etc, etc.????
Hell, just insert an RFID card with GPS into kids when they hit puberty to keep track of things.
Remember this film?
We are on the way.

So, anyone who opposes this despotism is automatically assumed to be part of a 'movement'? And what's with charging these Facebook users with LM? If any party deserves that charge, it's those who enriched themselves at the expense of charitable donations to honor the monarchy.
They have started with face book, how long before they start on forums like this one?One thing that you may have not concidered, is that when you get locked up or kicked out of LOS, for spouting off about the current Juna ,the first thing your parner will do is go back to his/her old place of employment and pick up a new sugar daddy and won't give you a second thought or your predicament.
What makes you think we all met our partners in an entertainment place?
Get a life.

The hub of talked about places.
Of course it is high up on Facebook's list. Thais are addicted to their mobile phones and Facebook. They have nothing else to do or be interested in.
Sad, but very true. They are not interested in world news.
Sorry, I am NOT Thai bashing. This is my and many many other people's opinions.

Some data regarding Nationality split would be useful. I assume since there is no mention of the visitors nationality that it was mostly Thai's. Had it been foreigners they would have been mentioning that fact in every sentence.
Probably not many foreigners as most posters on Thai Visa say they wouldn't pay 400 entrance fee to the park.

Why is this article posted in "Thailand Live Thursday 3 December?"

I agree entirely. I always top up as I go out and in off peak hours.Even without the discount it still makes more sense than buying a ticket for each trip. I can't believe how so many people still line up during peak hour, day after day rather than purchasing a Rabbit card.
Actually I didn't know there was a discount on an ordinary top up card.
I have 2 cards. One is a 25 (or however many) trip card and i have to pay an extra 10 baht anyway as I travel to Bang Wa.
The other is a top up for small journeys.
I sometimes travel with friends who have to buy tickets and the queue can be really long.
Sometimes there are faulty machines and you see people shoving the same 5 baht coin in the automat again and again.

Again: no way to evaluate without some examples/sites.
Well... almost any site. I couldn't open Thai Visa at all.
Facebook
YouTube
are just some examples of sites that wouldn't open. I managed to open speedtest on my mobile (through wi-fi) and got a speed of 0.5 mbs.
I complained to True many times and they reset my connection, supposedly sent a technician round to check (never saw him). Today my Internet is much faster but, they are periods of 20 to 30 seconds where nothing happens.
Hopefully all is well now.

No rain here in bkk. Yesterday was first day for weeks where we had rain.
Well, here in Bangkok we have rain every other day.
In fact some days the garden is flooded for a couple of hours
It really depends where you are.
-
Never mind that the OP pictures are all up side down.... here in Bkk we have rain fall maybe once a week
where by years ago it was a daily downpour....
You can't say "Here in Bangkok" .. you have to be more precise.
I was on Asoke and it poured down. The road started flooding, I jumped in a taxi, went along Petchaburi Road and after about 500 metres (before Ital/Thai Tower it was bone dry. Arrived at Thong Lor... it didn't rain one drop all night.
I have experiences like this nearly every day. The rain here, at the moment, is very local.

Doesn't this government and Army understand the more you do these stupid things the more attention it draws to the problem and the those it makes this administration looks.
They have the guns so they think they can do anything they want."They have the guns so they think they can do anything they want."
You are wrong! They know they can do, and do, anything they want.
Sign of the future. I think they will be here for a long time.

I agree Truevisions have a very good service.
Last year there was a day we didn't have a signal and they came and fixed the problem within 2 hours. Yes 2 hours!
TrueInternet, however are a complete different kettle of fish. They promise to send a technician but he doesn't come. At least not in my experience.

I have read several threads recently about the slow Internet in Thailand.
The last 2 months or so I seem to be having massive problems with True.
I am paying for 15 mbs but very rarely get that. In fact it is often down to 0.8 mbs.
Everytime I complain to True it seems to improve (without them coming round to do anything), only to drop in speed again after 2 or 3 days.
There are also constant fall outs (like right now), where I have no Internet.
Is there any consumer protection organisation that I could complain to?
Is it worth it as I can't really think of a good alternative to True.
Does anyone else have similar problems?
-
Have any of you read it?
I have read several pages of it and it is impossible to understand.
All the previous leaders and kings are referred to by their full names, so just mentioning the fact that "leader a" replaced "leader b" takes up 2 or 3 lines.
All place names are mentioned in great detail making it impossible to understand.
I gave up reading after about 8 - 10 pages.

Sounds like a sensible decision which is not really debatable by those not personally aquainted with the entire saga of this little gal and her and her families traits. That ''rabbit'' gene seems to follow you for a lifetime once it is displayed. Then you add the similarity to family and association with same, a tight rein on the bit is a sensible decision.
Unlike her brother every time she has left the country she has returned so your point is invalid
There is always a first time. Come back a few times and then stay away.
Her brother traveled in and out of the country too, before finally fleeing at the Olympics.

Thinking of buying a 400,000 Baht ring and cutting losses at 4.5 million baht for a girl who works at Swensons is a bit much. What a lucky girl.
I know a Thai lady who is a billionaire and she was quite impressed that her boyfriend paid 300,000 for some earrings for her.
If the OP is genuine then he must have paid a lot more if he says he cut losses at 4.5 million.
I guess I am one of the lucky ones that has married a Thai girl who has far more money than I'll ever own. Basically we share nearly all expenses, although she owns and has paid 100% of the property we have..

I have seen it in action, but it is enforced 100%.
One restaurant I know was forced to stop selling alcohol yet 2 or 3 others (and a seven eleven) that are nearer to the school still openly sell alcohol.

Here's a thought.
Howza 'bout Porsche sues the estate of Paul Walker for giving their product a bad name through his recklessness and wanton disregard for the safety of others...
That is the big difference between east and west.
In the west they sue for millions of dollars for physical damage whereas they can almost say what they want to each other.
In Thailand they sue for millions if someone says something bad about them, but injuries and death? Well just a few thousand dollars.

So what is a "Fake motorcycle taxi"?
Surely they mean unregistered motorcycle taxis.

They got their trafficked Uighur scapegoats all lined up to take the fall. Anything to deflect from the obvious conclusion that the bombing was organized by ISIS in retaliation for deporting some of their trafficked freedom fighters who were headed to Syria.

What are you talking about?

How can reporting the facts (true facts) be libel?
Libel - "a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation."

According to reports AIS withdrew their bidding because the "price had stretched far beyond fair value".
It is strange that Thailand has now broken the world record for th most expensive bandwidth.
Why would a small company like Jasmine International be so interested?
