Food hoax ends in smiles for handicapped delivery guy
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Well done khun Pasakorn. ???? -
But the generals want Thailand to stay as it was back in the days. Keep the peasants downtrodden. Make the rich more rich. Syphon off billions in backhanders and blame everyone and everything else when it goes wrong. Any progressive leader wanting to move Thailand forward will just be removed and replaced by another military uprising.

Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Very misleading photo for the rules as stated in the article. -
Rolling tobacco on Phangan?
Tropicalevo replied to mcsauce's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
I thought that everyone on KPN rolled Mr Anutin's 'go to' product. ???? (Apologies. I could not resist that one. I'll fetch my coat!) -
Hua Hin to install smart lamp posts in new tech drive
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
I doubt it. Venus is never that clear from where I live and I have zero light pollution. Difficult to tell it from a star with the naked eye. Looks more like the moon. -
Employment Department Says Thailand to Import More Workers
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
A number of reasons. Immigrants are cheaper and easier to control. (Live in camps.) There are strong labour laws to protect Thai workers. There is a minimum wage for Thais. Not so for immigrants (or if there is, very few people stick to it). When I built my house more than 20 years ago, all of the construction workers were from Issan. Same for other builders around me. When the government put the minimum wage up to 300 baht per day, suddenly all of the construction workers were from Burma. -
Samui 2022 - Whats happening !
Tropicalevo replied to khunPer's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
The beer was probably past its sell by date anyway. ???? -
And if you go to the beaches on the north and possibly the west coast? Seas as flat as a pancake. Every day I see the beaches at Choengmon, Tongsai Bay, Samrong Bay, Plai Laem beach, Bangrak, Fisherman's village and Maenam. The last couple of days, no rough seas. Six months of the year - rougher weather from the east. The other six months, rougher weather from the west. It is not rocket science folks - it is living in the tropics. Mind you - no sharks. Unlike some of the world's famous beaches. RIP khun Jakkraphan.

TM30 24 hour after returning still?

Immigration staff are just as confused as we are. ???? -
More COVID cases in Surat Thani?
Tropicalevo replied to phetphet's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Definitely, but we have no idea by how many. -
I have no mind about this one way or another but the article was commenting on the fact that the 'masses' followed the rules and the rich do not. The event was back in January. I thought that Chiang Mai (and most other places) had an alcohol ban back then. Difficult to remember exact dates because then moved to state 'SHA plus' restaurants could sell alcohol, then it was bars could obtain restaurant licences etc etc. I do agree with your Puritanical ‘anti-alcohol’ comment though. ???? cheers.

Samui 2022 - Whats happening !
Tropicalevo replied to khunPer's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Things are opening up. I cannot say exactly what as my nightlife stops at 22.00 from choice. (First check out tomorrow is 06.00!) The other 3 questions Yes. Whenever. Yes.
