  1. Except for the ones who have hooked/married Asean Now members of course.
  2. "Asked to choose three challenges ministers should prioritize, 66 percent of 2019 Tory voters said the cost of living; 41 percent said illegal migration routes such as small boats; 37 percent said NHS waiting lists for operations; and 25 percent said ambulance and A&E wait times." But instead the voters, ?169% of them?, chose four challenges. https://www.politico.eu/article/stop-the-boats-now-second-biggest-concern-of-tory-voters-poll/
  3. Tidal heights vary from day to day, just as sunrise/sunset times vary from day to day. High tides vary by over a metre at Karon. Last night looked to be the highest until the 25th, when the full moon will produce the highest tide......known as a Spring Tide, expect to see more sludge then, maybe the day before: https://www.worldbeachguide.com/thailand/karon-beach-tide-times.htm
  4. Yes you are. Thailand is in the process of bargaining its nationals out of being hostages. It knows that Hamas will not acquiesce to an Israeli demand for hostage release (as does Israel) and that Israel will use that as an excuse to redouble its efforts at genocide/ethnic cleansing........that's the Israeli strategy. Netanyahu has already written off the hostages, their loss was calculated as "colateral damage" when Israeli intelligence first discovered the Hamas plan and Israeli planned how to use it..........any Israelis that survive will be a bonus. He knew what was coming and did nothing to forestall it..........what he did was to prepare for the counterattack that would annihilate the Arabs of the Gaza strip. The Hamas plan, and subsequent attack, was a gift as far as he is concerned. There is no principle involved except the principle of continued expansion of Israels borders and the destruction/expulsion of Arabs in that process.............same principle that has applied since 1948.
  5. Perhaps more akin to mixing petrol with water to extinguish a fire? The aircraft will be pumping ultrafine particulates from their engines at the same time as they are cloud seeding: "Soot particles emitted by gas turbine engines are, to a large extent, ultrafine, with mobility diameters typically below 100 nm and are generally smaller than those observed in road traffic exhaust. Such small particles deposit with high efficiency in the entire respiratory tract and are supposedly more toxic than larger ones and therefore require special consideration." https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-019-0332-7#Abs1 It is perhaps worth remembering that the Thai government is more than just supportive of plans to increase the number of tourist flights/aircraft in Thailands skies, indeed it eagerly anticipates the increase.......as many as possible, as quickly as possible.
  6. I am also on One2Call PAYG, same circumstances as you, using it very little. What happens then is that you will only be able to receive incoming calls until you top up again......happened a couple of times last year. The balance remains intact......you don't lose any money.
  7. Looks like Cronulla managed to get away before it all kicked off, but Melbourne (porn actress "moll" of one of the other two) and Paramatta (born in Sweden but made his criminal reputation in the Sydney suburb of that name) got caught by the cops. And Melbourne and Paramatta have Thai aliases as well! **** knows who NRL is..... maybe just an innocent bystander who was initially mistaken for one of the gang?
  8. Make up your mind, horse or crocodile? There is a BIG difference, can you tell which is which?:
  9. This allows you to combine multiple PDFs (assuming tickets were bought online and received as such) into one, which you can then load onto the visa site: https://www.foxit.com/merge-pdf/?utm_source=client-app&utm_medium=ReaderAd&utm_campaign=merge-onlin If you have a ticket PDF which includes a load of other stuff besides the basic ticket-including-itinarary you will have to go further and find yourself some PDF editing software to isolate the most important info. This does that, but I have not used it: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=foxit+pdf+editor+free+download&sca_esv=598740777&source=hp&ei=DUumZcDzBZyhseMP1cGEoAc& I have used the PDF combiner......previously only combined 2 but just combined 3 to assure myself I wasn't sending you the wrong direction. PS Also possible to do the same with JPEGs using appropriate software......useful if you only have paper docs and make photo copies of them. I had a bit of Russian software that did that but deleted it a while back.
  10. Puritanism was an historical phenomenon. There are plenty of people in the world at large, far beyond the shores of "Blighty" and the influence its culture, who happily evince a puritanical outlook.........even though they know nothing of Christian sectarian dissent/dispute in Britain during the 16th and 17th centuries. Certain Islamic countries are especially enthusiastic. They have their equivalents in Buddhist countries: adjective adjective: puritanical practicing or affecting strict religious or moral behavior. "his puritanical parents saw any kind of pleasure as the road to damnation"
  11. This SS is from the page with the "stay of not exceeding 90 days within any 6-month period from the date of first entry." that is under discussion. The site is not just "some embassy"......it's MOFA central : https://www.mfa.go.th/en/publicservice/questions-answers-on-thai-visa?cate=5d5bcb4e15e39c30600068d3 Is it saying that it was originally published in 2019 and then reviewed in 2022? It is often stated that there are plenty of laws in Thailand......but they are not enforced. If the rule still exists it may still be implemented?
  12. Are you questioning that the parents should be held responsible? The mother was present and presumably authorised the journey: "The three sisters had attended the event with their mother but during the wait for the prize draw, the 6 year old middle and 2 year old youngest siblings began to quarrel. Consequently, the eldest sister volunteered to take them home, riding from the event late at night with both sisters on the pillion, reported KhaoSod."
  13. "I feel that religion is like defecation: best done in private and without drawing unnecessary attention to it." https://richarddawkins.net/2012/10/how-tolerant-do-we-have-to-be/
  14. What minors are for you is entirely irrelevant as far as Thai law is concerned. Age of majority is 20 in Thailand. Most countries in the world, including most in the West, it's 18. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_majority
  15. Yep.......even though two people, on the first page , pointed out that the thread was about Agoda charging the hotel, not the guest, commission!!
  16. This will get you started: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/product-naming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla
  17. When you get told you have six months to live you calculate how much you will need to have a pleasant assisted death after 5 months. Whats left you spend at a measured rate or in a big blast in the last few weeks before your planned departure.......or a mixture of both. Problem is that when they tell you how much longer you've got it's only an average for your particular ailment.......so there is the possibility you could snuff it as you leave the consulting room........or five minutes after you finish reading this. "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think" "Enjoy Yourself", The Specials “The man who dies rich, dies disgraced.” Andrew Carnegie
  18. I enjoyed living there. I enjoy visiting there. I don't "love everything" about it. The Pattayaphobics have issues that are nothing to do with Pattaya per se. Here's one now: Ignore them.
  19. It's all out there, if you just.........Google. Locations/budget allocations were announced in September. Budget allocations increased by just over 7% since then.
