Whilst that price is probably a limited opening offer, there should be quite a few takers.

From the Bangkok Post

Then do not come to Samui. Local salon in the shopping mall charges 800 baht for a haircut - includes washing and blow dry. I said that I only wanted the haircut - not the rest. Still 800 baht she said. As you say, others charge from 100 to 500 baht. You get what you pay for. Most do not know how to 'cut' men's hair unless it is with the clippers. They can be useless with the scissors. A friend uses the 100 baht haircut and it is obvious. Even he said that the cut is rubbish but now that he is retired, he does not care.

I am not sure if they have any claim that long after purchase. Someone could have swapped the real one for the fake.

Staying in many luxury hotels, like The Four Seasons on Samui, does very little for the local populace. The guest is picked up in a hotel vehicle (sorry taxis, nothing for you) and then often, the guests do not leave the hotel for their stay. If they should venture out on foot, there is often nothing in the vicinity. Luxury hotels often pick remote locations for that very reason. Local businesses, if there are any, get nothing.

Overstay is not possible as he does not have a visa.

Very well said kh Deniz.

Being drunk is another possibility. Some fruits ferment in the elephant's stomach. We were charged by a drunk elephant once when on a safari. Luckily our jeep was faster than the elephant. I even managed to get a photo of my B-I-L with fear on his face and the elephant closing in behind him.

He's a game old lad but at his age, he should have learned to forgive and forget. Not sure how they will punish him as I believe that he is too old to go to gaol.

It is a sad country when I look a the headline and think to myself - 'Asians'. That is before I even click on the story.

There is still one Thai being held - location and health unknown and there are two bodies that need to be repatriated to Thailand.

Hamas knew exactly what they were doing. All part of the belittling of Israelis and showing their Palestinian supporters how clever and powerful the leadership is.

Surely the name was a bit of a giveaway

Really? Rangsiman, chairing the House Committee on National Security, revealed that since the licensing for the system expired, the Bureau has only been capturing facial images and fingerprints, not true biometric data. He warns it could take up to 29 months to reinstate a functioning system, with procurement yet to commence.

And now we know why the wolves are after Big Joke. He was right back then and probably right now. His problem is that if he spills all of the beans, it will not be an empty car that gets shot up next time.

When I saw the headline I thought that it was going to be about this horrible stuff

Is it just me thinking this, or are there more and more vehicles 'bursting into flames' these days?

What press freedom? There has never been press freedom here in Thailand. The press and the internet are censored.

"Undercover Officers Uncover Khon Kaen Prostitution Scam" So where was the scam? The girl offered a service and turned up to provide it.

Good luck on asking the 'scam and kiddy diddler' enablers for help. They will probably pay lip service to it but not much else. Same as they do with most requests to restrict their services. Clicks mean money. Any click will do, be it good or bad.

There are a lot of Japanese living in certain areas in Bangkok and I understand that the restaurants cater mainly to them. I have some friends who worked and lived in Japan for many years. They always go to some of the Japanese restaurants in those areas as the food is authentic, unlike the mostly 'fake' Japanese food found in areas outside of Bangkok.

Some heroic bystanders there. Sad that one ended up giving his life for others.

I cannot see how that would work as in a case like this. By the time the bike has reached the 'elevated' crossing, it will still be going too fast to make any difference, surely.

He was elected democratically. It is suicide to change horses mid race when the guy in charge is doing a good job. Any election now would have major outside interference (as shown already by the two dictators - Putin and his poodle). The Ukrainians want him there. Other should butt out with their crass comments.
