I wonder how many AN readers started drinking alcohol whilst under the legal age limit. I must confess that I had my first illegal beer at the age of 14. Mum bought it for me from the bar at the local community centre when we were playing darts. She would drag me around to the bars and dances to keep the 'gropers' away when she wanted to go for a night out. She was recently divorced (again). No one bothered her with a 14 year old son in tow.

Yes it is their own fault. 100% The decriminalisation was for medicinal purposes only. No more then .THC Everyone who was into smoking dope decided to ignore Anutin's statement that 'you still cannot smoke joints'. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/09/asia/thailand-cannabis-legal-minister-interview-intl-hnk/index.html

Go for their throats Pita. Sue them for slander and abuse of power as well.

Perhaps because they are very naive. Most Chinese that come to Thailand are not 'world wide' travelled. The majority that we see have brand new passports.

It is within 24 hours. The immigration law does not differentiate between tourists and expats. It is 'all foreigners'.

Both wrong The girl was being scammed for 17 million yen and was told to change her SIM card and change hotels. The father was also being scammed for the 5 million yuan. It's all in the BP.

Do you seriously believe the numbers that Hamas throw out to the press? Do you remember the press release from Hamas fed outlets that quoted 100's died when Israel bombed a hospital? It was a car park! Please get real.

Bluddy well done to the IDF. Excellent news for the hostages and for their families. Sad that some innocent folk may have died but that is 100% down to Hamas. They are murdering cowards that hide behind schools and hospitals.

She was travelling with friends. Not everyone has money. Even if they do, they do not have to stay in 5* rip-offs. I usually stay in small 'comfy' places close to where I want to be.

Have you considered Choengmon beach? (North of Chaweng.) Very underrated. I think that it is one of the best beaches on the island, and quiet compared to Lamai or Chaweng. It is not a party place. Just chill. Lots of good restaurants. I do not know the Ibaza resort so I cannot offer comparisons. Mid July - you may find that some places will be quoting high season prices.

Samui airport is definitely more quiet. Only 30 flights due in today. Most of the year, there are about 40 flights a day.

"Ouch" they said.

Please send some south. We are in drought here on Koh Samui.

So, instead of having trained, qualified and experienced pilots, we may be getting novices not long out of university. Yes, I realise that a more experienced pilot will be in he cockpit to fly the thing, but if there is a problem and he goes to the toilet or has a medical emergency.........?

Sadly, that is never going to happen in my lifetime.

Hamas have NEVER honoured a ceasefire. They have been sending rockets to kill civilians in Israel for years. Fortunately the 'iron dome' stops most of them.

Unfortunately, is their ONLY distraction from weed.

This man should be in gaol for helping a killer to escape and avoid a trial. Hopefully this will now be in the International press and the world will see how the head of Red Bull really behaves. His son has been spotted in the hospitality areas at the F1 races but no one says or does anything.

The gym is open at the sides. (Photo in the BP.)

A great event celebrating the few remaining here and their fallen comrades. A huge thank you to all of those who fought for freedom and democracy from someone who wasn't around at the time. You will not be forgotten.

Oh dear. Looking to find a way to sell arms to the illegal Junta in Burma.

Why do they even need a treadmill? There is a running track around the park.

The pro Palestinian supporters conveniently forget this little fact, along with the rape and murder of innocent civilians on October 7th. THAT was genocide. Free the hostages and the fighting can stop.

I guess that the owners are not laughing now.

One owner has just renewed the villa licence. The property has been rented out on AirBnb since 2015. It is a three bedroom private villa. This is the current licence from the Tessabaan here on Koh Samui. Other places may be different. Villa licence cost 500 baht Pool licence Cost, 2,000 baht.
