  1. And who was in charge of defence last year? Check Uncle Tu's garage.
  2. The timing of this is perfect. No surprise though, as the decision to announce the new police chief is to be tomorrow. This will probably have killed BJ's chances of that one.
  3. A good friend banks (banked?) with Barclays. They keep contacting him and telling him that he must close his account. His response is always 'No. I do not want to close it.' Followed by 'if you want it closed, you close it and I will respond appropriately.'
  4. I totally agree with your comment here. Maybe a couple of very wet seasons. I have read that the pipeline from the mainland is not working (again). Well water is becoming more difficult to buy and the water quality now is so bad that owners are putting large filter systems in their properties to stop the taps/showers from 'clogging' up. I have seen water trucks filling up with water from the lake near Central Festival in Chaweng and that water is very 'iffy'.
  5. Anutin made his position clear earlier in an interview with CNN. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/09/asia/thailand-cannabis-legal-minister-interview-intl-hnk/index.html
  6. Here on Samui we have lots of short power outages ie < 10 seconds. UPS keeps everything safe on the desktop computer.
  7. And what about the 'shocking and depressing incident' back in 2012 when a policeman was killed by 'Boss'?
  8. I live on a private development here and I pay 8 baht + FT + VAT 4 baht sounds pretty good to me as well.
  9. You can follow him on Fakebook. He was seen at some of the F1 races in the Red Bull pits and in the hospitality area. Support Red Bull if you have no conscience. There has never been any evidence that he was on the Red Notice list. Just 'suspect' policemen saying that he was on the list.
  10. Of course you are correct. However, reality rears it ugly head. Many areas, especially rural ones, have no other means of transport. Or no money to pay for it. eg Parents working. Grandparents live a distance away and too old to ride a bike. No one can afford a car. Catch 22.
  11. Wrong. A declining birthrate does not lead to a 20% rise of seniors. It jut changes the ratios. They will grow old regardless.
  12. That will be interesting. Whilst it is all flights, might have some extra fun here at Samui airport. It is an article in the Thaiger today. That will probably stop my 45 minute journey from home to on the plane. Boarding will definitely slow down.
  13. I have been paying 432 baht per month forever (> 20 years). Direct debit from my personal account.
  14. No need. Just release all of the student protesters, those accused under section 112 and 'illegal' Burmese refugees illegal immigrants. There will be plenty of room then.
