Pattaya Left Behind in Thailand's 'Premium' Tourism Upgrade Strategy
Probably 'left behind' because officials keep on about the fact that there is no prostitution in Pattaya.

Thaksin Attends Wedding of Pheu Thai MP, Meets Pita But Avoids Political Discussion
Love the smirk on Pita's face in the second photo. He is probably thinking 'I am the future. I will outlive you.'

Man in Drug-Fuelled Rage Tries to Strangles Mother and Nephew in Sa Kaeo
Good luck there. For many Thais, drug addiction is their only reason for living. They see no future in a country that only helps the rich. The public Thai education system only trains kids to follow orders. Not life skills.

Snowy IPA
I always try and buy the cans - better for recycling. I have never noticed any difference in taste. I always drink from a cold glass. Never from the can or the bottle.

All are found in Tops and some Tops Daily. Nite hunter is also found in BigC

Thailand's 'Dual Prime Minister' System: A Delicate Balance of Power
Oh. You mean like Prayut (and others before him) killing protesters. Thank you. Are we all still pretending that Thailand is a democracy?

Thailand's 'Dual Prime Minister' System: A Delicate Balance of Power
And still the best man for the job! (I do not think that he has actually killed anyone - yet.) Those traits that you describe are true for every PM in Thailand during at least the last 25 years. A 'dual PM system' is the norm here. The others have had their strings pulled by people out of sight. Thaksin is just more honest about it.

Grooming Networks Persist in Oxford, Warns Former Investigator
Sad but true. And the bar stewards know that they are unlikely to be deported. Even if the courts agree to do, entitled pratts on the plane stop it.

Brit expats in Thailand warned of scams targeting bank accounts
I agree, but it is understandable with the flexible interpretations of immigration rules. I one believes that the visa may not be extended...........

Aseannow is all about trump and Europe, not much about Thailand
You are reading the wrong section if you want to read about Thailand. Try this one - nothing about Trump here. 100% Thailand. https://aseannow.com/forum/458-thailand-live/

Thai Suspect Arrested in Cambodia for Ex-Cambodian MP's Murder in Bangkok
Ekalak is just the trigger man. The person who set it up and who paid him will be a 'cut out'. The real murderer will be the next one in the chain.

Snowy IPA
Snowy IPA is one of my 'go to' beers, but my preference now is Tawandang IPA. (60 baht for a large can, 45 baht small one.) Dunkel is also good as are MM32 IPA and Nite Hunter IPA. Be careful though - Nite Hunter is 6.8%. The Dark from Orion is also good, but at 109 baht a can..... Tawandang thank you

Foreign Ministry Cautions Against Opposition's Myanmar Visit
PP will have given Russ the excuse to blame someone for the delays from the lying Junta. When the Junta misses the next deadline, Russ can say - I told you so.

Living in Koh Samui?
We rent a small Thai unit for additional storage. I call them pig-pens. A row of single floor, budget places with a small kitchen, basic squat toilet, bedroom and living area. Start at about 2,500 baht per month depending on location.

600,000 Thai Students to Receive Learning Tablets by June
What a load of PR rubbish. 600,000 students? Presumably all in Bangkok. From https://www.statista.com/statistics/1313137/thailand-number-of-students/ Are they all going to get one as they grow older? Never ending purchasing scam.
