    I wonder which country the container was shipped from?

    Stop press. Cars have two headlights. Bikes only have one. They have nowhere near the same 'lit effect'. Also, most bikes on the road are older models and do not have halogen bulbs. They have the old-fashioned yellowish ones. Strange as it may seem, the one headlight does not light up the whole road.

    They are doing a good job on the land. It is the fishing that is doing a lot of damage to the seagrass. With fish stocks dwindling, many boats are now dredging. This rips up the seagrass and the dugongs starve. That includes the illegal fishing boats from other countries. They do not care about the ecology, they just want fish at any price.

    Suggestions from Thailand - set up a sex industry with prostitutes, 24 hour drinking alcohol recreational drugs freely available visa free for Chinese You will have more tourists than you can cope with.

    A police colonel cheating? A fine example for the rest of the force.

    Not quite true. I went there and had an eye lens replacement procedure at Bangkok Hospital Phuket. Tri-focal lenses. My eyesight is better now than it was 50 years ago. I no longer need glasses and cataracts gone. Mind you, you can also get this procedure in Bangkok.

    As it happens, no amount of the safety equipment would have helped. According to the Bangkok Post

    Hint to Cannabis smugglers. Fly from Suratthani, not Samui.

    There is no historical role of Thailand doing any such thing. If this deportation was strictly according to all International rules, why were the victims taken in the middle of the night, in police vans with the windows covered up and the police signs covered over? There was no official announcement until the press stories broke. It was 100% an attempted cover up.

    These mozzies are nasty little critters. A friend had a mosquito bite that eventually led to Guillain-Barré syndrome. He eventually become totally paralysed and in an ICU for a couple of months. Still not fully recovered 20 years later.

    What the heck is he still doing roaming the streets? In gaol and in a straight jacket for his own protection. Second thoughts - forget the straight jacket.

    I reckon that it is the customs people at Samui airport. 3 major busts in 5 days. Always 30 kg bags. Same 2,000 GBP being offered along with free flights/hotels whatever. The customs people are just recycling the dope. It's the same bags every time.

    Dear PM - listen to this man.

    I disagree with the first sentence. I am deaf in one ear and the treason that I struggle with the Thai language is because Thais talk very quietly. However, totally agree with the decibel levels when it comes to music and parties.

    It can be dangerous, but less chance of lung cancer. Just search 'is vaping dangerous'. It is early days i n collecting statistics and information, and there are a lot more tobacco smokers than there are e-cig smokers so comparisons are difficult. The real risk for e-cigs is that there are no controls on what is in the stuff that folk suck into their lungs. Illegal drugs are a recent one.

    And what about the other pawnshops? How much did they lend out? 433 pawnshops registered in Thailand. https://rentechdigital.com/smartscraper/business-report-details/list-of-pawn-shops-in-thailand

    Dumb, dumber and dumbest. Dumb - the Thai politicians who came up with this idea. Dumber - those trying to invent the rules. Dumbest - the Thai developers who will try and write the software to implement it all.

    It worked for the old girl - twice.

    Silly man. Everyone knows that tom yum gai is much tastier than chicken rice.

    That is the answer, ask for the tickets and payment receipts. They are getting greedy. It used to be 50 baht for no helmet and pulling over everyone in sight, the last week of each month. I believe that it is 1,000 baht these days, and that is with an official receipt. It increased last year (?)

    Then Singapore would brag and point out that Thailand had krappy border controls.

    And the lies trip effortlessly off the government's tongues.

    They are supposed to be able to swim OK but some beginners cannot. When the instructors finds out, here on Samui, they send them to a friend of mine who teaches swimming.

    Poor lass. Highlighting probable corruption in the department and it appears that the seniors were the ones involved.

    I would imagine that most 'cash sales' go into the grey economy and are not on people's books. As far as I know, the grey economy is not included in the GDP. Happy to be proved wrong.
