But some rags at Tesco and get a plastic bucket.

Songkhran just ended there are thousands sitting idle.

Somewhere you go certainly has a garden hose.

Sorted.

I'm not the "Lowest of the low Farang scum and Rubbish".

had a very bad experience in dayli bar the other night,Ye promo 3 leos 169 okay,3 opened bottles and ice, No thank you one at a time and no ice, given menu, some jerk 5 minutes later its gone 11 no food,only five past,bill come 220 you no no had ice so full price,never and I mean never will I ever set foot in that dump again.

I don't drink three large Beers but will happily order a "promo" if somebody wants to share. Never heard of "Promotion for Thai only". That would make perfect sense though. Tolerate the presence and custom of Farnungs only if the foreigners pay more.

We always order ice, the bucket of ice a pittance. Unless it is cool season unfortunately in the "Nimman Pub" environment the bottles often not chilled sufficiently. "Nothing to get hung about".

Thai beer tastes better over ice anyway.

I would have just enjoyed the Beer, and ordered a Bucket of ice. One place I know charges 80 baht for ice, no big deal.

Handing customer menus then coming back to say "Kitchen Closed" is incompetence.

Used to know a guy owning a Mexican rest that served food until 10PM. If I came in to order a takeout Burrito after work at 09:45

staff stared daggers. Problem was if he wasn't there cracking the whip the employed staff of pierced and tattooed casual labour would break down Kitchen

to bugger of early. (Also giving away free food to friends, kids these days). Most restaurants in Japan for example have last order time clearly posted.

Advertising one is open until 10PM then saying Kitchen closed is a waste of time and may cause me to miss going to another restaurant that is actually taking orders until 10PM.

Now I end up at Burger King or cracking a tin of Vegan Chili to avoid near starvation...

So you came in just before 11 and they refused to serve you food, so then they would not honour the promo price?

That sucks, What incompetence!

Wonderful news shows there is some sanity in the judiciary.

So should it be permanently banned under as inconsistent with Thai law? Sure surrogacy is over in Thailand for now.

The woman was a hired to be an incubator vessel. She has no relationship to the child or parental rights. These are facts of human biology and family law.

Nothing to do with attachment developed later or bigoted social justice crusade she decided to do after the fact. What a nightmare for this family.

If the couple have any sense they will stay away from Thailand until the child reaches the age of majority and can visit the Kingdom as an adult under own terms.

Good news

If the OP considers Spam and Baked beans to be "luxury" food items what does he believe "ordinary " food to be ?

Gruel

Several years ago (2012) I had to go to Hat Yai. Having an automatic life vest in my checked luggage. This life vest (275 N) contained a CO2 cartridge of 66 grams. I was stopped at the gate when boarding. Had to go with 2 police officers to some office and there they had my "checked" luggage. They had taken out the life vest and the CO2 cartridge. It is prohibited in Thailand to have CO2 cartridges in any luggage when flying. It was impounded and I was fined 50,000 THB for carrying/having a prohibited item in my possesion or face a 5 year prison sentence. Missing my flight and had to take another flight one day later. When in Hat Yai/Songkla it was impossible to find a new CO2 cartridge, meaning I could not board as my personal safety was not up2date and losing income for 4 months. (Normally all personal safety items are checked 2x per year for offshore work).

Later I ordered a new CO2 cartridge and had it shipped to Bangkok. With lots of trouble at customs. They wanted me to pay 15,000 THB import tax. (cartridge is only 1,500 THB + shipping). I still haven got a new cartridge, impossible to find in Thailand. Once near Pattaya I saw a shop selling automatic life vests (150 N and second hand (used)). They were 10,000 THB/pc and didn't have a CO2 cartridge inside. I told them that I needed a CO2 carridge, No have, you go Vietnam and buy there and not come back by airplane, was their answer....

I had a CO2 cartridge taken used for a bicycle pump. Every life vest on the aircraft has an identical 16 gram CO2 cartridge installed. Hundreds of them on a widebody aircraft.

But one cannot take on onboard or checked luggage because of the ban on "compressed gases".

It is not the 16 gram version but the 56 gram for 275 N, the 150 N is using 32 gram. The connections are different so one doesn't fit on the other !!!

The 16 gram is the miniversion, NOT used for humans in the offshore. For yachting it is used for little dogs, Chiuaua and so on.... International Offshore Rules (IOR) demands an updraft of 275 N with a lifebelt and a connection (10,000 N) for a lifeline.

I have taken my life vest all over the world. (Australia, USA, Canada, Carribean, Europe, South America, China, Phillipines, Japan, Korea,) Even once just having hand luggage. Never had problems, only here in Thailand.

There are large canisters onboard in the emergency slides and life rafts certified as onboard safety equipment

One cannot have them in ones own posession, they are universally banned, as are the self-inflating avalanche vests skiers are trying to travel with nowadays.

In a more transparent place like such items would just be confiscated. To actually get a fine out of an offender requires the offender to be charged and judged by a competent and independent legal authority. Non of this cash on the spot rubbish. Funds go to the State not into the pockets of bent cops and airport security agents.

Not like in Thailand where it appears various low level jobsworths are entitled to the proceeds of corruption. 50,000 is a lot of dosh. I would not be surprised that knowing certain workers carry such devices they do not specifically target Offshore workers for fleecing. A nice little earner.

I think it is a biscuit tin!

Gave up on Black Puddings when makro decided they are worth their weight in gold, can do without. Imported Cheeses are a must have however.

Do not understand even what so-called "problem" this intends to solve. Just more bad news for the tattoos and facial hair crowd. No reason bikes cannot safely negotiate flyovers and underpasses if they maintain a safe minimum speed. I would however like to see some of these more noisy monstrosities banned from public roads completely and relegated to drag-strips and race tracks.

I went to Muy Thai in Loi Kroh last night .

Absolutely horrendous

Endless stream of people selling things tapping you on the shoulder and sticking their goods in your face

Som nam na for visiting such a place. I have seen the shiny black Fortuner these "poor foundlings" alight from. An exploitative scam.

Other than the charming "tribal women scratching wooden frogs", who always make me smile I ignore them as completely as possible.

No greetings , no "no thank you", no aversion of gaze and no reaction to taps on the arm.

Similarly when hearing a sudden hand clap I do not turn my head. A tuk-tuk driver or tout trying to make a farnung look foolish.

Not allowed, HAZMAT, such gas cannisters are prohibited in checked baggage or carry on.

Tragic. At least the transporters tried to light it. That is a big load of pilings don't know if it was legal or not but, even in the USA it probably would have been, even without guide vehicles as long as it had the proper candlepower lights visble to 500 feet.

Maybe she was speeding or impaired. I'm not victim blaming but if you are driving at night at a safe speed you should see vehicles and obstacles in front of you in time to stop.

Fleeing the scene of an accident should be rewarded with a custodial sentence in every case regardless of who is found to be at fault. It should be a absolute duty to stop and render aid/call authorities no matter what.

Remember a place called "Basta Pasta" years ago..

I had mixed results getting my crew visas there.

The local girls at the window are all "Cannot" robots but the actual Counsular officers were great. Highlighted the actual information minimum they need on the forms

Next day service. Last time I used my company (they pay anyway) who have a fixer at another Consulate. 5 years for the same price CM would give 1 or 2.

Ask this character who produced a youtube about smoking pipes, in Chiang Mai.

It did sound a little far.

My experience with KU, PR and TG From MNL to BKK is they do not ask for Onward ticket.

From BKK to MNL I have only flown TG, sometimes they ask sometimes they don't.
