Is it legal on TV?
Yes but you have to be careful when you're getting to the vinegar strokes in case you slip and fall off.

The officer bearing the " Don't use your smartphone etc" sign is recovering in hospital suffering from a broken pelvis after being thrown across the bonnet of a Honda Jazz driven by bank teller Tipawan Tatpaiboon who was engrossed in a video of a kathoey singing the " Pen apple pen pineapple" song on her iPhone 6 when he stepped out in the road in front of her.Further injuries were sustained when she ran over him again as he lay on a pedestrian crossing as she was in the process of taking a selfie and posting it on Facebook with the tag " Noo narak mai?" and " liking" her friend's photo of the dessert section of the Sheraton Grand Sukhumvit's Sunday brunch and a video of a poodle riding a child's tricycle.

Looking at the photo in the OP it's good to see the Pattaya authorities are installing bike parking racks on the beaches to encourage more people to take to 2 wheels and get fit.

Not a horror movie but Lars Von Trier's "Melanchonia" does it for me.
The end scene where they're sitting in the "magic cave" as the rogue planet fills the horizon just fills me with terror as I imagine me and my family in the same imminent death scenario and what reactions we would have.

Well there is a fellow riding a motorbike around Chiang Rai with his flowing aryan locks encased in one of those German WW2 Stahlhelm Motorcycle helmets, painted black and complete with the Waffen SS transfers.
Obviously a member of the 2nd SS Panzer Division "Das C U Next Thursday"

Minor disciplinary violation? Known as battery in most other places.

It's definitely worth checking the hotel's own website as sometimes there are some good deals to be had. A number of properties are offering book direct deals to avoid paying commision to the OTAs etc. One property I know of were offering up to 40% discount room only by booking direct which well undercut the price elsewhere and another was offering free airport transfer, 5 pieces of laundry and complimentary mini bar by booking direct. Of course always check the conditions because when I worked in the industry a number of guests thought the special Early Bird price conditions of no cancellations, amendments or refunds didn't apply to them with one guy threatening to inform the police of the hotel's "scam" when he wanted to cancel but couldn't. That's why you got a THB 4000 room for THB 2500 brainiac. You takes the risk...

" Admitting the crime she told police that she had done it many times before but it was always small sums and the owners had not reported the thefts."
So I in her mind it doesn't count then, does it?
At one of the Bangkok hotels I used to work at a member of staff was caught stealing cans of Coke and was quite indignant at receiving instant termination instead of a warning. Well that'd be a fine and dandy signal to any other staff who might fancy a free drink. Help yourself to a Coke and only receive a warning if you're caught. Better call the supplier to send a few extra cans every week then. Funny thing is there was a soft drinks dispenser complete with Coke in the canteen which staff were welcome to help themselves to at any time on a break etc.

Cat nip for TVF old geezer posters - like flies around sh*t... gotta love it
All we need is the headline "Nong Nat dumps Harold for Thaksin Shinawatra after learning that he left all his assets to a mosque" and the sales of baby aspirin would skyrocket attempting to ward off the impending strokes.

"He caught a cold giving me a goodnight kiss"
Amazing!!! Being a porn star now qualifies her to be a M.D. and diagnose causes of illnesses.
Why not? Sometimes I'm embarrassed by my complete lack of knowledge amongst the esteemed AAIB, CSI and SWAT members who inhabit TVF.

I had that on the tollway coming into Bangkok last year. Traffic gridlocked in every lane. Stationary nose to tail. Cop on a bike behind me angrily waving for me to get out of the way to let some bigwig in a Benz van through. Obviously thought I'd installed the optional VTOL on my car...

Not a restaurant per se but for cheap fairly tasty eats I often go to the Tops food court in the basement of Robinsons on Asoke. IMHO it's a cut above the one in Terminal 21 which I think is extremely average to poor. In Tops there's a stall next to the Mrs. Balbirs Indian counter which does a decent noodles with onsen egg and another where they're fairly generous with the chicken on the kao man gai. The cooked to order stall near the two ATMS is pretty consistent too. Not fine dining of course but I genuinely enjoy the food as opposed to just " that'll do" because I'm hungry.

New Faces? That's a cabinet meeting I'd love to be a fly on the wall at with Roger de Courcey and Nookie Bear, Showaddywaddy and the Chuckle Brothers.

I remember the local recovered alcoholic coming to our school to warn us of the dangers of drugs.
All I heard was the part about going to the parties, getting so drunk he couldn't walk. Driving around with all his mates, listening to loud music whilst drunk. Getting arrested for falling down drunk in public.
I thought " wow, I want to do that, what fun " and I did do it. And I did have fun lol.
Reminds me of the Dave Chappelle show back in the day when Tyrone Biggums the crack addict went to the local junior school to tell the kids about the danger of drugs and ended up regaling them with stories of how his favourite cartoon characters appeared for a jam session when he was high ?

Is that the best threats these morons can offer?
Now be fair Cuchlulainn mate I have it on good authority that they had a considerable list of threats which they whittled down to the most plausible one. Said list included a plague of zombies, a herd of velociraptors with machine guns strapped to their heads, Megaton and Shockwave from the Decepticons, a marauding gang of plundering Vikings and the Hobbit's Smaug the Dragon backed up by a posse of pissed up Dementors from Harry Potter.

As in you want to put an industrial rivet gun to your head and pull the trigger. ( just kidding!)
I usually buy mine from the Madame Heng shop in Terminal 21. Shower gel for most of my bod and bar soap for my nether regions, gooch, tradesman's and feet.

If they're giving away a free Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge as a sweetener I might be interested.

Herb Expo….hmmm….
I'd give it a miss if I were you J. I went last year and was very disappointed. Not a natty dread in sight. I asked the security guard on the gate if he was irie and were there any Babylon around and the bloke didn't know what I was on about. Get your act together Thai MICE organisers!

This is not good he said as he rode /drove his foreign car/motocy while pocketing his foreign iPhone/Samsung wearing his cool Levi jeans and smoking a Marlboro cigarette or maybe he looks forward to riding the Chinese high speed train to Chiang Mai.............Get a life!
Actually I spotted him whizzing his way up Wireless Road on a tuk tuk sporting a natty pakama and puffing on Khrong Thip so hats off to him for keeping it real. Although he did stop and tell me that Wat Pho was closed today, offered to take me to a special one day only TAT sponsored gem sale at his friend's shop and quoted me 300 baht for the fare to Central Rama 9 so maybe it wasn't him but a bona fide tuk tuk driver. Who knows?

Thanks for the info.
You can do your 90 day report by mail at KK if you weren't sure somo mate.
Chiang Rai man claims his money went missing after using ATM
in Thailand News

I feel for the bloke. My expat mates flew in to Bangkok from the Middle East to visit and in preparation for a night on the razz I went to the ATM and withdrew a not inconsiderable amount of cash. I awoke the next morning face down on my sofa with a blinding headache, no memory of the previous 12 hours and only 100 baht in my wallet so not only did the ATM steal my hard earned spons but it must have released some form of total amnesia gas at the same time to cover its crime. Neither the bank nor the police were in the slightest bit interested so they must have been in cahoots.
