    Similar - just the yellow Tabian Baan and passport. Did not bother with the pink id. For villas that we manage, just the blue Tabian Baan. They asked for owner's passport details as well but we never had to show them. They accepted my passport details.

    I understand that there are four different strains of dengue but you do not catch the same strain more than once. Each time that you catch it, the symptoms/pain can be worse. I have had it three times. Two definite and one probable. https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/dengue-fever/facts

    In other news, a dive boat sank this morning on the other side of the mainland (near Surin islands). Two folk missing, 14 saved. Now is not a good time to be on the water. A good idea by Seatran to warn people.

    Nowhere that I can find, does it say that the vessel had a leak. Where did you glean that little gem from? That boat sits low in the water. With waves of up to 3 - 4 meters, they will break over the deck and enter the vessel. One report says that this then caused the water pumps to stop working. Apart from those two little errors, your comment is accurate.

    So three suppliers say that sales are not as good as the could be. I bet that somewhere, three suppliers are saying that sales are better than before.

    Now that is a good move for folk. A plus there for the immigration people.

    Thank you for the update. I have received messages that Seatran are not accepting reservations at the moment as they cannot guarantee sailing times. Also, not taking bookings for transfers to the airport as again, no guarantees.

    What about the religion of money? Lots of people worship it.

    But I am of the understanding that Muslims can kill non believers without fear of retribution.

    Well done to the lad. Total commitment to his family. It is a shame that there were no other options for him in spite of all of the blah blah press releases and fake promises from this and other governments.

    Same same. I complain when overcharged and tell them when undercharged. Seems fair to me.

    All part of this government's policy to move everyone onto using phone apps where it is easier to harvest information, track people and their transactions. Many banks have moved to apps only.

    Supot Electric on the ring road?

    It seems that a lot of young people do not know how to look after babies and young children. Resulting in the abuse and sad events like this. And the PM wants citizens to have more children. Frightening.

    The fraudster was obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer. In gaol, he can get lessons on how to do it properly.

    Obviously not from the UK. He is not wearing socks. UK tourists wear socks and sandals and have a knotted handkerchief on their heads.

    Probably funds it. Here we have a street full of bars and the police own most of them. Oh. There happens to be the main police station at the far end of the street!

    And the blame game starts. There was another case yesterday of a 16 year old Thai girl passed out drunk, in the morning, on the pavement at Khao San Road. She had to be carried to the police car. Some people were blaming 4 am closing. KSR is not in the zone for 4 am closing. Bars close when they want to.

    It is a bad crop this year. Drought. (A friend has a durian farm.) There is a fresh market at Bangrak - opposite the road to the airport. Foreigners always pay more there. That is why I never go. When the crops are ready, there will be pop up stalls all over the island. Again, foreigners pay more.

    They need language skills. Higher salaries.

    Silly boy. Tourists will buy their duty free at departures where they start their journey. I never buy at arrivals.

    I would suggest staying with a certified service centre. I used a 'local' guy to fix my 30 year old De Ville. He did a great service and had it working again, but he could not do the pressure test for making it waterproof. As I do not wear it often, that is not a problem for me but a Seamaster.........

    She was not given a choice. She was attacked from behind before any attempt was made to take her bag.

    I suspect that that is a naive comment. Do not look just at the price. Look at what you get. Guided tour of 2-4 hours (the people are experienced), safety features in chambers 2 and 3 and improved facilities at the cave. Someone has to pay for all of that. Extras are the clothing and insurance. The main entrance chamber is still free.
