Come on people, who would not be angry if one of your kids was shot. "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Pachyderm justice perhaps.

Remember what you parents said - "Never accept gifts from strangers".

And Putin does not care how many innocent folk die in his quest for fame and personal goals.

Surely that is irrelevant? They beat up two ladies. The reason why is not clear, but in my book beating up women is unacceptable.

Did he also say a similar thing to the three P's when the illegal military were in power? I suspect not.

This move would be a significant change. More tasty, craft beers please.

It's not the arrest that is significant, maybe the police get to keep the content.

The authorities should maybe rethink their CCTV strategy.

And none of the other workers thought to bang on the roof of the cab and tell the driver???

I obviously do not know your background for this need and I am not a medical expert but this may help I had my lenses replaced (RLE) at Bangkok Hospital Phuket and the cost was nothing like 190,000 baht per eye. I had the 'Bright View' procedure with tri-focal lenses. I paid about 230,000 baht last year for both eyes. No discounts for long term foreign residents. I found a very good residence within walking distance (HOMA) where, again, prices were very reasonable. In spite of the fact that the specialist (Dr Captain) looks about 16, I found that the whole experience was the most professional that I have ever come across. Reception staff, medical staff - all were outstanding. https://www.brightviewcenter.com/

I guess that I am lucky. I only eat out once or twice a week and go to the same places that I have eaten in for the last 20 years. All good food, good portions and good service at a reasonable price. Only French restaurants for steak. Mostly pork or fish everywhere else. (I eat a lot of chicken at home.)

Did the guy get his money back?

Oh dear. Brown envelopes coming into play already. Job done.

The dinosaurs are clutching at straws in their attempt to get back into power. This has nothing to do with electricity costs. It is all to do with propaganda and telling the people that they are paying more and that it is Thaksin's fault. 'False advertising' as the saying goes. Print it in papers and put it on the net so people think that it must be true.

Sorry but I disagree. I have lived on the island for more than 20 years and have always been able to check through. Although, I do sometimes have to tell the originating airport check in desk the code for the airport here. They originally say 'no can do' if you name the place but when I tell them USM - Oh yes..... I always book one ticket - source to destination. Two, sometimes three flights. We have many guests flying here on codeshare with the major airlines - they always get their luggage checked through. Thai (domestic) also do a lot of codeshares. Over the years, I have flown with Thai, British Airways, KLM, Eva Air, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines etc etc. I suspect that the problem is the 'bucket seat airlines'. Air Asia, Nok Air etc but I rarely fly with them. I have flown with cheaper airlines twice this year - Big mistake. I now have claims with both Viet Jet and Batik Air. They changed flight times meaning that I missed connections both times. To be fair to your comment, my destination is always USM. I never fly to Nakhon Sri Nowhere or wherever.

Just a normal working day here on Sunny Samui 👍

Not much of a gentleman that one. 👎

Minimum wage in Vietnam is lower than in Thailand yet their economy is booming.

Wrong. It is about Knowledge and knowledge is power.

Your problems seem to have started because of an expired TM 30. Many folk on this site state that if you live in the same address, you do not need to do a TM 30 when you return from holiday. Technically, that may be correct but as we always find out, different immigration people interpret the rules differently. I find life easier and more simple if I always update the TM 30 when I get home.

No idea who they are, but they get my vote. 👍

Well done guys. 👍

Typo (I do it all of the time) How far pregnant - how many months? Good luck by the way.

I also had surgery to remove the need for glasses but it was tri focal lenses. I had cataracts and needed lens replacement anyway. BrightView Centre at BHP were excellent (and a tad expensive) but I will not need glasses for the rest of my life. (I am in my early 70's.) One exception - sunglasses. The world is sooo bright now! 😎

Thank you China for your ongoing contribution to the decline of Thailand's economy. https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/whistling.gif https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/whistling.gif
