Yeah, I remember the reports, and no doubt "Tony" is a shady character and there is clear bribery at play when people get detained (there's something about that name and shadiness). But I also never saw any real evidence - I only saw the CCTV that clearly showed people shoplifting. Not saying it didn't happen, only that people jump on these bandwagons without doing any research. My research was very much inconclusive and in many cases the rumours were proven false.

Yes I have browsed their pricing and no, I generally don't buy from there. Their prices are slightly cheaper than a normal shop for booze, but hardly anything in it. I have a couple of times bought on arrival for convenience, not to save money. Yes, they are very rich, not disputing that. Yes, the monopoly is stupid, I already said that, there should be competition, although as another poster reported it is not uncommon in the aviation retail world. Not sure where the ignorance comment comes from. I was merely contending your comment to ban them in arrivals to help people save money was a bit silly. People don't need you to make their decisions on what to spend their money on.

Let's just ban shops, full stop. Imagine the savings! If people want to buy something at a cost that they deem agreeable, what's the problem? Why would you want to ban it? Personally I would like the option.

Yawn. Another AN myth. Seriously, do you guys just regurgitate everything you read on here? Do you never actually search independently to see if something is true? It really is a sad reflection of people that they just repost whatever fits their narrative without doing a jot of research. A simple Google search will show you that the people in question were actually shoplifting. King Power released the CCTV footage and it it as clear as day - I have seen it.......when I was researching to see if the rumours were true at the time - like any reasonable, open minded, non prejudiced, person would do. Yes, you could pay to have the charges go away but that is usually the case in Thailand and it was nothing to do with KP. If you don't shoplift you don't get in to any trouble. And for the poster who says you literally cross the boundary of their shop with something in your hand and you get arrested, read my first paragraph again. Ridiculous.

Eh? If you remove all duty free on arrival that is a huge loss of revenue for everyone. What do you think they will replace them with? Rows and rows of cake shops? When most people land their main objective is to get out of the airport as quickly as possible. Duty free is tempting, nothing else would be, and we're talking a lot of retail space to replace - it is a ridiculous idea. I am no fan of KP and think giving one company exclusivity for ALL retail and commercial space in the airport was a stupid thing to do. But this story has nothing to do with that, or corruption, or the legendary AN, tedious "brown envelopes". But I do understand many posters here don't feel complete unless they've trotted out at least one cliche per day, so glad you got your fix. And do revenue sharing agreements really get paid in brown envelopes?

Yet you clicked on the article, read it, then thought you would make a post to tell everyone you're not interested. Hmmmmmm. When I'm not interested in something I skip past it.

I like the Ioniq 5 - it's a cool looking car. But that is expensive for the spec! Wonder if we'll get the 641 bhp Ioniq N............with fake gear changes and noises (the reviewer actually likes them)

Ah, so he's a journalist now?

I went on it today. Circumstantial but it definitely feels smoother than the yellow line. Not smooth, it is still bumpy, but seems less so. Also seems the pink line trains run a little bit faster. Could be in my head as they were both built by the same people so ti wouldn't make sense that they would be any different, but that's how it felt (and I went on both pink and yellow today).

Oh my, this is hilarious. So he didn't call out the white paedophiles in his organisation because he knew they were white and the left wing police would take care of it because they hate white people???? What an absolutely deluded fanboy statement of the highest order. I have never read anything so ridiculous. Good old Tommy protecting the children!

Let's start with his grandstanding about the Muslim paedophile ring because, you know, he cares about the children. Police were already on top of it and he risked jeapordising the trial by his actions which could have meant they would go free or, at least, having a re-trial. He was convicted of comtempt of court for it. If he truly cared he would not have put the trial at risk - especially as he had been warned about it - but then again his fund raising was doing quite nicely. Or how about Yaxley Lennon defending paedophile friends and people in his organisation? At least 20 members and supporters of the EDL were convicted of child sexual offences. Why didn't he clean his organisation? Oh wait but he couldn't be expected to know what every single person was up to right? Fair point. But what about his friend Richard Price - co-founder of the EDL. When he was arrested for child pornography did Yaxley Lennon lead people on the streets? Did he condemn his vile act? No, he publically supported him saying he was "stitched up" and has "no idea" how the pictures came to be on his personal computer. That, my friend, is the definition of a hypocrite. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypocrite Paedopjiles only bother him when they are brown. White ones are ok.

Yeah, this is one thing his supporters overlook when they say he is an anti paedophile saviour. Yaxley Lennon is a crook, a thug and a hypocrite. That is non debatable.

Finally, we hear from someone who was there! Thanks for sharing what you witnessed.

Thanks, I guess the bumpiness is to be expected then.

What a miserable person you are.

I don't like Pattaya generally and think it is a turd hole, but there are lots of great things for kids and some great resorts for kids. Centara Grand Mirage is superb, the new Space hotel looks superb, Hard Rock as previously mentioned is great for families, the Amari is great for kids. The water parks - Ramayana and Aquaverse - are superb. Beaches are horrible, Walking Street is horrible, but lots of great family resorts that you can spend a long weekend at and not need to leave.

Obviously never been. It's a great resort for kids. They have lots of pool activities and games during the day for kids. They have a foam party for kids on a Saturday afternoon. You have no idea what you're talking about.

If you look at the pictures, the concrete did not in any way collapse. After they pulled the truck out they put the panels right back, intact. They did dislodge yes, but the concrete held. It still shouldn't have happened, obviously.

Do you know if it is just as bumpy as the yellow line? Not complaining, I like the yellow line, but it is very bumpy - thought it would be much smoother. Not sure if that is common with these systems or if the beams are less smooth than they should be.

I guess the "farang price" for having that massive chip on your shoulder removed was also too high. Seriously, what a pathetic post. Poor you.

Unbelievable choice we have in the market these days. It's hard to make a decision because new models are coming all the time.

Add automatic gates like at level crossings then maybe they'll work.

"Telling someone that you have to get up for work in the morning is not a “no!” That is not asking a question.

....you mean the reality that you just made up in your own head, right.

They are all back in place again today so it works somehow (except when it didn't).
