Depends. Maybe he can sell the glasses to buy food with the 'revenue'. He certainly doesn't look very healthy that's for sure. Distended gut, skinny legs, bad posture. Maybe he'd be better off in the Hilton. Looks like he'd be even worse off back home on the NI pension. I know I'd rather do my shoplifting in Bangkok than Stoke-on-Trent. Maybe he's got a mental issue. Who knows?

The 5th was designed for the i n n o c e n t.

I used Bangkok VIP Limousine fast track service a couple of times inbound and outbound. I was quite happy with them as a single traveller. Then I think they had to shut down, then came Covid. It looks like Klook next time in.

Even without the phone number that's a gross data breach.

Maybe someone else has said it already, but why aren't they tough on drunk drivers ALL the time? Ludicrous. It's really an admission that they don't do their job outside of New Year.

Situational awareness.

Yes to 1,2 +3. If I ever stay long enough to arrive at point 4 I'll be on me way back home then at the latest.

Actually I love sushi but had no idea the fish had to be frozen first, so thanks to you and Hawaiian. I wouldn't touch it anywhere in Thailand for plain reasons. In Germany I eat raw mincemeat with onion on bread rolls for breakfast (Hackepeter), the preparation, seasoning and regulation of which is closely controlled. I'd never eat raw laab though.

It's clear from this OP's responses to me and many others who've tried to help that s/he's really just an argumentative and very unfriendly grump who wants to appear as Mr./Ms. Benevolence.

I can't be bothered with this.

So answer my question (or not, I don't care). I notice you ignored the self critical second part of my post. Nor did you respond to my first post. I was just trying to be helpful. It appears to have gone right over your head. Don't spoil a good thought by coming out with those kind of insults. The question arises as to whose chip you are referring to. It ain't mine, nor was I looking for an argument. Oh, and as a learning aid in basic calculation, I don't need to know how much you want to spend and I don't care about that either. The problem you set is very simple as is the (second) answer I gave.

Are you really so strapped you couldn't afford the same, higher amount of the better rice? I ask because I sometimes get hung up on the small fry differences with cash, especially with tips but not only. When in the end being slightly more generous or chilled is the solution that pleases everyone, and penny pinching can spoil lovely experiences.

Writing and coloring books. Pencils, colored pencils and crayons. Anything they can write and draw with. Water paints even.

Admittedly there don't seem to be many fact-checkers in Thai newsrooms.

'' ... Later the owner of the night boat, Lomprayah Co. Ltd., sent two high speed boats, Phuyai Hor and Baan Diving, to rescue the tourists and help out.'' From the report.

I recall a post from way back when when someone was complaining about the Thais using fish sauce in all their food because he hated fish sauce ... strikes me as pretty much the same.

Fact is that even if the 'House Committee on Police Affairs' were to visit his bedside, none of them would be in any position to give a medical evaluation or opinion on his condition or treatment regime. Perhaps there are other things that may be slightly more important involving 'Police Affairs' they could turn their attention to. When I was seriously ill in hospital I only allowed a handful of people in to me, a couple at a time, once a day. (Except for me lass of course.)

Whoooosh!

Those that aren't traumatized anyway.

And this 'ship' was owned by Lomprayah, the catamaran company. You'd expect something better from them wouldn't you? At least I did, but now I'm rethinking a trip with their boats to Samui in February. Let's see what emerges from the 'investigation'.

At least the skipper had the nous to get his SOS off in time. Imagine if everyone had still been on board ...

You would, yes.

Well they did get saved ...

Suggest you pose that question to Russian conscripts, not the people who are defending their country against them.

Oh dear. Jimi was Purple Haze ... Prince was Purple Rain 555
