This 'slightly biased' post deserves a response. I guess that you do not live on Koh Samui. If you go to Bangrak, Chaweng, Choengmon or many other villages on the island, no parking signs/blockages are everywhere. Usually by the business owners wanting the space for their customers and deliveries. They are NOT Israeli. So you think that it is OK that anti Israeli folk can park outside of a Chabad house and leave a car bomb there. This is a security issue. Some time ago, there was a car bomb left outside of a Chabad house near Soi 20 in the area near me here on the island. Luckily it did not go off and was removed. It was kept hush-hush so as not to upset tourists. I realise that many believe everything that they read and see on unchecked or biased site and programs like Tik Tok, Fakebook, Al Jazeera, BBC etc but those media have an agenda. Learn to understand reality. Reality check. Hamas sent it's soldiers into Israel to kill, kidnap, rape, maim innocent, unarmed civilians. They started a war with Israel, which is what the Palestinians wanted. In wars. innocents die. Hundreds and thousands of them, including children. Coventry, Dresden, Hiroshima etc. Hamas could have stopped the war at any time, but chose not to. They were getting too much propaganda out of it. Israel is on the defensive against all of the Arab and Muslim countries that want to annihilate them. They have a right to protect their citizens, even those in Thailand.

There are no Thai trainers at that club. He was dobbed in by a farang.

Very true. Many locals lost their crops by allowing the flood water to be pumped out of the cave and onto their land. Great people all of them. Poor governor lost his job though. Probably for letting foreigners take some credit - very sad.

Their Majesties the King and Queen have received as a patient under royal patronage the British caver who played an important role in the rescue of young footballers from the Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand in 2018.

Just in case you are in the same situation as me..... Received the SMS and emails to say that on July 1st I would received a user id/password email. Nothing. Contacted the help desk via the KOL website - 'contact us'. They said to call 1572. (Then press 2 then 4 then 3.) Called 1572, they answered quite quickly, and after a discussion, a wait, and another discussion, she said to go to my local branch and ask them. She then added, if they do not know what to do, tell them to call us and we will tell them??? The help desk also explained that I did not have my personal account moved to a Biz account on 1st July because I am over 70 years old!!! Soooo I trotted off to my local branch. After the usual one hour wait, I was called to the counter. I explained the situation. Lots of questions back and forth and the girl eventually said - call head office. I explained that head office said that you might say that and that you should call them and they will explain the solution to you. She called head office. The result....... I can use the existing KOL personal website until 30th September. I will then receive a user name/password on the 1st October for the Biz online website.. Maybe. (I will still be over 70 years old )

I have quit AN but I just came back for this comment. It might help Krungsri online banking customers. I have a number of accounts with Krungsri , one of them being a business account. Krungsri Biz online Business accounts are staying online via computers. Went to the bank today to explain that I am unable to use phone apps and that I would be transferring my accounts to Kasikorn. The reply was that I could stay with Krungsri by opening a second business account for personal use. Just change your personal account to a Kasikorn Biz online account and you can still use a computer which is much more secure than the phone apps.

I take it that that is not a spoonerism?

I suspect that being married to him would make most girls turn to drink.

Sorry, but what does this really mean?

Halfway through reading today's news articles, emojis suddenly disappeared from the articles. Is this just censorship to me or is there a problem with the system?

I completely agree it's one of the safest places I've ever been and I never fear for my safety in Thailand. The vast majority of the violence is Thai on Thai, and it's usually young punks, or related to drugs and other criminal activity. Totally agree with you both. Lived here 25 years now. No issues at all. Same with Singapore and Hong Kong. Cannot same the same for UK (Birmingham) and Oz (Sydney).

Dumb comment It could not happen to any of us and it is nothing to do with him being a farang. It was two foreigners.

Sad but ironic Isn't Buddhism a religion of peace and harmony?

A big thank you to all who serve and have served to protect our lives and our way of living. These memorials for those that have passed on are important. Because of their sacrifices, we are all here today.

So, did the police just go into her room whilst she was entertaining a client? That is taking coitus interruptus to a brand new level.

CP Foods again?

Fake news. Fake photo.

Totally safe and legal. Honestly guv.

Just need to offer a reward. Worked for me every time.

Why ?

Looks more like a waterspout to me. (from Wikipedia)

Listen to Sheryl.

I blame the rich tourists in The White Lotus.

I propose Anutin for that one. With Thamanat as my second choice. But they are not allowed near the money.
