So you are one of the ones who uses the laughing emoji when someone dies. Now that is sad. I prefer to use sad when there is a death or something horrible.

Here on Samui we have lots of short power outages ie < 10 seconds. UPS keeps everything safe on the desktop computer.

And what about the 'shocking and depressing incident' back in 2012 when a policeman was killed by 'Boss'?

Anutin was the health minister back then.

Is anyone awake up there at the top of the heap?

I live on a private development here and I pay 8 baht + FT + VAT 4 baht sounds pretty good to me as well.

Thailand should not pander to the pandas.

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.

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.

Sitting in their lawyers office?

Wrong. A declining birthrate does not lead to a 20% rise of seniors. It jut changes the ratios. They will grow old regardless.

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.

I have been paying 432 baht per month forever (> 20 years). Direct debit from my personal account.

Private Walker from Dad's Army?

Without water?

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.

When farmers are told to miss a harvest, the government should compensate them. Planting tree? FFS.

Anutin agrees with him https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/09/asia/thailand-cannabis-legal-minister-interview-intl-hnk/index.html

That does not sound like official immigration speak to me. ????

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.

'Foot in mouth' syndrome strikes again.

Spend, spend, spend. We can see the new governments policies already.

Pretty impressive video of the python regurgitating the chicken. ????

I wonder who was paying him for that one. Lawyers do not usually do free work.

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.
