  1. You can follow him on Fakebook. He was seen at some of the F1 races in the Red Bull pits and in the hospitality area. Support Red Bull if you have no conscience. There has never been any evidence that he was on the Red Notice list. Just 'suspect' policemen saying that he was on the list.
  2. Of course you are correct. However, reality rears it ugly head. Many areas, especially rural ones, have no other means of transport. Or no money to pay for it. eg Parents working. Grandparents live a distance away and too old to ride a bike. No one can afford a car. Catch 22.
  3. Sitting in their lawyers office?
  4. Wrong. A declining birthrate does not lead to a 20% rise of seniors. It jut changes the ratios. They will grow old regardless.
  5. That will be interesting. Whilst it is all flights, might have some extra fun here at Samui airport. It is an article in the Thaiger today. That will probably stop my 45 minute journey from home to on the plane. Boarding will definitely slow down.
  6. I have been paying 432 baht per month forever (> 20 years). Direct debit from my personal account.
  7. No need. Just release all of the student protesters, those accused under section 112 and 'illegal' Burmese refugees illegal immigrants. There will be plenty of room then.
  8. When farmers are told to miss a harvest, the government should compensate them. Planting tree? FFS.
  9. Anutin agrees with him https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/09/asia/thailand-cannabis-legal-minister-interview-intl-hnk/index.html
  10. That does not sound like official immigration speak to me. ????
  11. The 'ripple up' effect of increasing the minimum wage will increase tax revenues, but cause hardship to employers. ie when the lowest paid have an increase, the more experienced staff also need to have an increase - otherwise they leave.
  12. 'Foot in mouth' syndrome strikes again.
  13. Spend, spend, spend. We can see the new governments policies already.
  14. Pretty impressive video of the python regurgitating the chicken. ????
  15. I wonder who was paying him for that one. Lawyers do not usually do free work.
  16. That was probably just when Samui had opened up after Covid. People were only just returning to the island. Grab is pretty much all over the island these days. Many of our guests use Grab except for trips to the airport/ferry terminals. Grab are also banned from some tourist spots.
  17. CCTV footage of the shooting is doing the rounds here in Samui. Someone sent me a copy this morning. Pretty damning evidence.
  18. A good article thank you. Thai Enquirer is one of the very few publications that does not give in to the whims of the censors and the government. They are not afraid to tell the truth.
  19. I disagree. The escalator did an emergency stop, as it is supposed to do. How many folk follow the intructions for the escalator use that are on the side of every one? Clue - not many. How difficult is it to step off the escalator before you hit the end?
  20. Sad that Police Major Siwakorn had to die to become famous. All he did was refuse to be bought by ex kamnan Nok.
  21. They certainly cannot afford the same treatment. If they could, they would be in the next room.
  22. I too pay the developers 9 baht per unit, plus FT charge, plus VAT. I am not expecting the greedy so and so's to drop the price. If they do I will publicly go down on my knees, say three Hail Mary's and thank Allah.
  23. When I have made a claim with April - it was paid PDQ. Not that I have made many, but always money straight into the bank. My problem now is that they only accept claims via a phone app. Changing insurance companies is not really an option. At 72 and with (now) pre-existing illnesses, I doubt if any insurance company would accept me onto their books. For me, it is April or self insure.
