Thai expert...sounds like an oxymoron....anyway, pretty good guess. Quakes of that magnitude are often followed by many days or weeks of after shocks.
You don´t have to be an expert to know this.

Am I alone in finding the quality of KFC in Thailand far inferior to the UK & USA?
No, you are not alone. And lately the taste of the battering has become even worse.
I wonder who exactly is reading this KFC Fan page and why

In the large shop in the upper floor of Pantip Plaza, I have seen a rotable and hight adjustable Samsung F2380 monitor: http://www.samsung.com/th/consumer/pc-peripherals-printer/monitor/lcd-monitor/LS23NVTABW/XT
The price was around THB 8000 - 9000. I didn´t buy it because of an 8ms response time, but it will be absolutely perfect for documents and graphic design.

Men who touch female revellers inappropriately or molest them will be arrested.
What about women who touch men?
What about men or women touching ladyboys?
They´re just sick!

Isn´t that just the normal situation i Bangkok. Even if the soi had been accessible to fire engines, it would just have been blocked by cars and small shops instead. To me it looks like everything is just being done and built without any approval of the fire department.

Very worrying, I tend to think of Thailand asked malaria free. The geography is also a concern. How did this form of malaria transit from Cambodia to the east of Thailand and Burma in the West? Via what route? Does this mean the central belt of Thailand is now infected? Or did it not transit at all and all malarial strains are simply mutating into a resistant form which being resistant may spread across previously uninfected areas?
Mosquito´s do not travel far, so it must be infected people and animals who spread the disease.

According to the OP´s profile, he is already more than 100 years old.
As you will have to try everything at least once in your life, one of the few thing he now has left to try, is to become a muslim. So just go for it OP!

Since 2008 I have been happily married to a Thai Muslim woman and living with her in Bangkok. She (and her family) is, like most Thai Muslims, not very strickt about her religion, and equally practice and respects Bhuddism as a true Thai. The only difference I feel in this marriage is, that she eats no pork, while I am still allowed to eat as much pork as I like. Kissing after me eating port is also not a problem. We did not have any sex on the first date, which I actually appreciated, but certainly catched up on the second date, which was a short holiday in a nice holiday resort. She drink´s no or very little alcohol, which I only find to be an advantage. She has never in her life worn a scarf and she knows, that if she should ever consider to change her mind and do so, I would immediately leave her.
I am an Atheist (born Christian) and would definitely not have married her, if she and her family had been very strict, and required that I would have to convert to Islam. Her father would for sure have been more happy, if I had converted before the marriage, but today he clearly see that it doesn´t really matter. If she was a Thai Muslim from the south of Thailand, things might have been very different.
If the OP would like to ask me any specific questions about marrying af Thai Muslim girl / woman, please feel free to PM me.

I don´t really see why he shouldn´t be allowed to carry the balloons on the train, when it´s no crime to bring a dirty bicycle.
I feel sad for the little girl, who had to witness the violence from both her dad and the security guard.

Why not just clean up the country, so it can match every tourists dream of a clean country?
Every <Snip!> place I go in this country, beaches and nature are drowning in waste. Just went back from Khanom, where beach and private land along the beach is drowning in waste. Bangkok, Phuket and most other places have the same waste problem, which makes me pick another destination next time.

Sad to see how many of the Thai´s in low paid jobs turn into criminals. Who can blame them for being jealous of all the people they see every day, having so much more money than themselves. And jealousy can easily turn into hate. A Security cuard and a cook is paid well below THB 10000/month, so no chance for them ever, to take their family on a holiday in a 3-star resort og just buy what they like to buy.
The Thai government are loaning and spending more money than ever, boosting the inflation, mainly to fill their own pockets as usual, but are doing absolutely nothing to help the poor people, who badly can feel the inflated value of their little money. I am afraid that this kind of news will hit the headlines more and more often, if politics are not being changed in this corrupt country. We can only hope for a Miracle to happen.
One positive thing is, that this murder was at least not categorised as a suicide.´
I don´t think that it´s fair to blame Jack Beach Resort for the incident, as this could easily have happened in any other resort in Thailand.

What about all of the Chinese who own everything else and pretty much run the place? Or are they "foreigners" too?
And what about a foreigners from Montenegro, Uganda or Dubai owning land in Thailand?

If they want to help ease traffic matters they should reduce the number of taxis. There are an extimated 70,000 taxis in a city that only requires about half that number. Another thing would be for the taxi driver to accept all fares who flag them. I am fed up with the crap of taxi drivers telling me they do not or will not go where I want to go. Failure to accept a fare should result in hack licenxse revocation. Now, why won't this ever happen? The taxi mafia.
Let them go blow smoke up someone else's ass.
Make that more than 100.000 according to BK Magazine recently.
And these are only the registered cabs.
There may be 100.000 registred cabs in Thailand, but that is not a single one too many on a rainy day! Have you ever tried to stand in the rain, getting more and more wet, when there are not any cab´s to get?

So the PTP plan for flood prevention is to flood poor farmers to protect Bangkok... if the Democrats, or any other party would come up with this solution there would be a Red Mob with torches, pitchforks and RPGs laying siege to Parliament.
Not if the compensation is large enough

Why limit the action to Phuket?
Overpriced products and services, low-quality products, low-standard services and various scams are found everywhere in Thailand where tourists foreigners go.

Sorry, but processed hemp is not good for smoking.

The mentioned spray also come in an odorless and cheaper version, which is not working with either mosquitos or cockroaches. But for ants it should be ok.

Try King Machinery in Sukhumvit Road just after soi 62 (right hand side), going in direction from the center and out of BKK.

In our village in Bangkok, we noticed that since the flooding the village is not as clean as before. We asked why to the management. They replied they are short of people for the maintenance and also gardeners ... They can't find anybody.
Same for the maids, almost impossible to find a Thai maid nowadays. There are some places where we are not allowed to walk the dogs, the warning signs are both in Thai and Burmese.
Why don´t you clean after your dogs immediately after dropping?

Just keep it behind closed doors:

Can anyone enlighten me on this, what is the difference between
Orchid Butter, Orchid Classic Butter, and the last lot I seen was
called Orchid Blended Butter, blended? what with?
regards Worgeordie, PS Orchid has been my butter of choice
for years,the others seem to have a slightly off smell ,even when fresh
I don´t know Orchid butter, but will certainly give it a try, if I should find it.
Blended butter is butter mixed with a percentage (normally 25-50%) vegetable oil, in order to make it more soft and spreadable immediately from the fridge. Vegetable oil is also cheaper than butter made from milk.

Why? Don´t they have dogs in England?

If you travel more than 20 baht trips, then yes. As it will average around 21 - 24 baht/trip with the 30 day pass..
Totally correct answer.
With a Smart Pass you don´t need to have the exact amount to buy the ticket and avoid the queue in the rush hours. You can also use the pre paid card. Which of the two solutions you should use, depends solely on the the ticket price for your trip.
Reports Of Earthquake Flood Across Phuket

If the 5.3 afterquake today is huge, what was the 8.7 quake last week??
According to the Richter Scale a 5.3 quake is 4000 times weaker than a 8.7 quake, so definitely no need for a Tsunami warning.
