For Samui, that is very cheap. I used to rent out my two bedroom bungalow for 50,000 THB - per month.

And he was only loosening her clothes because she was having trouble breathing.

You mean her parents who are probably Hezbollah terrorists, who happily bomb innocent Israeli children. If the kid had a pager - she is a terrorist. The shipment was ordered by Hezbollah for its followers who support terrorism.

Quick update from the BP. The villas in that development have been 'closed down' and the tenants have been told to leave. No mention yet of knocking them down though.

Yet more Thai perverts filming innocent tourists and then posting the incident on-line

Well done to the Firemen. Those other houses are packed in a tad close.

I think that you will find bad neighbours in every country. Most of my neighbours here are brilliant, with the exception of a French guy. Thai neighbours, no trouble at all.

Brilliant job. Very inventive. The panic shown on the shop's CCTV is quite impressive as well. Well done Israel. Yes, it is tough when an innocent child is injured, but reap what ye sow Hezbollah. Your attacks are mostly aimed at innocent people. (Better publicity for you?) Next?

Are these the same two thieves that stole from the Pakistani gent that was robbed, as reported in AN yesterday? Same MO.

Maybe because the poor lady was still holding on to its head? She would probably have had more bites if she let the head go.

At least the dog is OK. I have three dogs living next door to me, and sometimes at night, they bark. A lot. And it can be annoying. When I check the CCTV, it is usually because someone (or another dog) is walking around the area. I am happy for the dogs to bark. Now and again (very rare), someone in the area has money stolen from their house. No one in the street where I live has had anything stolen. Bark away doggies and thank you for protecting the neighbourhood..

Let us hope that the ship does not break up meantime. The forecast is for this weather to continue for the foreseeable future.

I always thought that water on an electrical fire was a bad thing, but I suppose that it is better than nothing. Full marks to the guys trying to extricate the driver.

Hmm. Yet when a recent illegal military government appointed a convicted drug smuggler as a minister, that was allowed. Note to the CC - Surapong has not been found guilty of anything - yet.

Why is it that Thai perverts love to take photos of foreigners in a state of undress or carrying out normal bodily functions, and then post them on the internet. Yet foreigners do not take photos of Thais doing the same things (or worse).

You are a scholar and a gentleman sir. Well done.

I think that the Ukrainian people might not be in agreement with your theory comrade.

Russia is using weapons, from third party countries, to kill civilians in Ukraine. Ukraine should be allowed to do the same. To all of the frightened folk who say NO - it is not an escalation, it is a response in kind.

Here on Samui they do go round checking - especially in the area where I live (lots of rental properties). Folk that I know have been taken to the immigration office because they had no TM 30. Luckily we were ably to help their landlord to register and process one PDQ. They were in the system by the time they were called to the desk (there was a long queue in front of them).

I use Adblock Plus and Adblock ultimate - no issues with the problem that you describe BUT on some sites, my VPN does cause that problem. Switch the VPN off and problem gone.

If your wife does all of the online banking, just give her your password details and your phone. She can then transfer all of the money from your account to hers. This is what I did when my wife died. I used to do all of the online banking and so I had access to her bank account. All of our 'joint' money was there (she earned more than I did). My account was for running the business. When my wife died, I just transferred everything to my account. No one automatically tells the bank when an account holder dies. I asked my lawyer if this was a problem and the response was - 'no - everyone does it.'

I would think that the real number of needy Thais without smartphones is higher than that. Are Homeless Thais not included? Difficult to participate in a digital wallet without a smartphone.

The country is bankrupt. The vote-buying payment is expensive. They are having to borrow money to hand out the 10,000 baht bribes. That is why they are trying to get the BOT to drop interest rates. There will be more delays until that happens.

Stupid is someone who writes comments like the above. No one believed that the water was free, the water authority just stopped sending the usual monthly bills without an explanation. The lady had to contact the water authority to find out what was going on - after the event.

That was certainly a pretty powerful storm. Glad that everyone was OK (no reported deaths or injuries).
