I am confused by the fact that OP plans to move to 'Thailand/Cambodia, " which are obviously two different countries with two rather different cultures and mindsets.

So, which country are you actually planning to move to?

Immigration at Ladprao Imperial is open and practically no queue

Can anyone confirm this is still on today? Unable to find any info on the Web.

Thanks.

I've gone to view this show in years past, and normally, everyone just parks on the elevated tollway, and watches from there opposite the airport, having tailgate parties, etc... The police normally close down two lanes, BUT, this year, with all impending shutdown, who knows how bad the traffic, police etc., will be and whether they will allow that?

That's very helpful. Thanks.

Do you know what time it usually starts?

Don't remember the time it starts, but the last year I saw it, it was a fantastic show because they had the US Navy Blue Angels here for a special joint show with the RTAF.

Cool! Guess we won't be so lucky this year but the kid would still enjoy just the same.

In situations where there is a discount for locals, I have found they usually honor it if you have Thai license.

I am here now and I must say that it seems organized, considering the sudden shift without much planning available.

Lot of people here, which makes it feel more chaotic than it really is.

Tip: Arrive about an hour before 10:30 opening in order to get queue ticket. It helped get me in and out quickly after they opened.

Tip 2: Taking a native Thai speaker with you makes the experience relatively stress-free.

By the way, don't they have any native English speaking editors at The Nation?

Oops... I realize now those shot were probably from opposing parties, not army or police; hence no rubber bullets.

Ever hear of rubber bullets for riot control?

Meant to say "I too am fascinated by this," but edit button does not seem to work.

Yes, I live near there. It used to be a beer garden that was kind of cool, but now it is closed again.

It's apparently an old 747 from the Thai Royal Air Force. You can find it on Rahmkhamhaeng Road.

If heading away from Sukhumvit (northeast), it is a few kilometers down the road on the left side. There are no wings... Only fuselage.

I too fascinated by this.

Good luck.

From what I understand, every country has a ADIZ. However, the difference is that China is forcing it for flights that are not flying over their land directly, but flying near their land. Other countries only enforce the rules if an aircraft is flying over top of their actual country.

Only wear shorts at home and in beach towns. Even then, they are at least knee length shorts. Agree with you overall.

I can pull it up in Thailand now too. I could not earlier.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, and am pretty sure I am capable of working my device and spelling properly, but thanks for the tips.

Indeed it seems true. Cannot access via Internet connection in Thailand, but the site is still accessible from outside of Thailand. So, it is a firewall block. Interesting.

is it just a coincidence that the Pattaya daily news website is inaccessible this morning or has it been shut down by the police seeking to cover up the story?

conspiracy theorists fire away.....

Oh yeah...funny I just pulled it up on my iPad sitting here in pattaya having my coffee. I know pattaya is sometimes not considered part of Thailand so maybe that's why i can get it but maybe you guys just need to check your spelling or check that your devices are even on. Sorry conspiracy theorists...nothing to see here. LOLOLOL

Yeah, I wanted to import by Black Knight pinball machine but gave up on it because gov't thinks any gaming machine is connected to gambling.

"It doesn't benefit us right now" was her reply when asked about Syria. 555. That's awesome.

Try the used bookstore on Sukhumvit between Soi 28 and Soi 26. I think it is called Dosa. Nice place too.

Update...it was a case of mistaken identity. Ouch! That is sad.

You can promote your site for free on http://www.cliptheworld.com, which is a new site similar to the hugely popular USA site Pinterest.com, but this one allows you to select Thai or English language. Looks like only the thai part of the site has content and site brand new.

I suspect that a ninja was involved in the woman's death.

Much of the evidence points in that direction.

Many Japanese live in and frequent that area. The Japanese and Koreans still nurse the sore of WWII.

Ninjas are able to scale tall buildings and reach buildings silently using elk-fur-lined grapping hooks. They are also able to depart silently and unseen by leaping to neighbouring buildings using black silk parachutes. All of this would fit the known facts of the case.

Finally many of the farang resident in the area have ninja skills and training from their special forces' days. I know this because they have told me.

Dude, I'll have some of whatever you are smoking there, buddy!

I have been quite happy with Rahmkhamhaeng Hospital, about 30 min from Sukhumvit. The doctors and staff speak English and they have top notch facilities there. In fact, my son was born there and he was in ICU for a week. I was quite pleased with how they treated him.
