Koh Pha Ngan Police Criticised for Ignoring Foreign Cannabis Thieves
My bet would be that the Pharmacy Owner is not in the 'Tea Club' and has no pick-up box on the wall that the BIB visit monthly . No Money= Zero Police Service !

US, Japan Issue Security Alerts After Thailand's Uyghur Deportation
Just another example of Thai Polititians taking the Brainless route they always take. Wake them up with Sanctions; especially against 'Influential People', and it's not hard to recognise who they are !

17 Dead in Bus Crash on Hillside Road in Prachinburi
Never gonna happen; they will talk a lot but never do anything about it. You just can't fix stupid when stupid means you can't tell a Thai they are just no good at something or critsize them in any way and tell them they need to learn !

Thailand Cracks Down: Police to Monitor Foreign Nationals Closely
About time the RTP 'Monitored' itself. They could try 'cracking down' on useless Thai Drivers for a start and i could name another 50 area's where they could attempt to do their jobs properly and in a Professional manner !

Britain’s Leadership Crisis at a Time of Global Peril
What Leadership ? The Country has become Rudderless and is floating in a Sea of Sharks; and that incudes Trump who is only interested in himself being the all powerful Messiah. He couldn't care less about the American People or anyone else unless they want to contrubute to the Trump Fund !

Lifting Alcohol Restrictions Could Boost Thai Economy by Billions
They just never 'get it'. What would bring in a lot more money is lowering the dumb high taxes on Foreign booze, especially Wine, as that is what most of us want. As things are i never buy Foreign Wine or Spirits in Thailand and pick it up in other Countries i visit twice or three times a year on holidays. Wife doesn't drink so that gives me double Duty-Free on the way back in and also visitors coming in bring me more, so always a full Drinks Cabinet. The Thai's are always on about 'Free Trade Deals' with other Countries but what they really mean is a deal where they pay no Import Taxes on their goods going into other Countries but charge high amounts of Tax on goods coming in. This is the one area i agree with Trump on; you put hight Taxes on our goods and we will do the same to you, let's have a level playing field.

IKEA Arrives in Chiang Mai: New Store Opening February 2025
Shame Makro didn't use the space to build a Multi-Storey Car Park which would have been much more useful. Now parking area much reduced with most of what's left out in the glare of the sun and too far to walk to the store. Still; this is Thailand where Customers inconvenience don't matter eh !

Future Uncertain for Retiree Bank Accounts in Thailand
Just a thought. If you've been here for 15 years you should have had a Pink Card and House Yellow Book for many years already. Amazing how many Farang can't seem to get their affairs in order !

5 year life of tyres
I bought a new Car 12 years ago; it still has less than 30000 Klicks on the clock and lives mainly under cover. I check the Tyres regularly and last year i started finding cracks on the top curves of the outer walls even though the Tyres are less than half worn, so i had new Tyres fitted minus the spare which is unused and perfect. Funny thing was the Tyre Shop Manager told me they would be selling my old Tyres as part -worns with no guarantee. Apparently there are plenty of Thai takers for such Tyres.

Migrants in UK: The Challenge of Integration
Most have never wanted to integrate, just take everything they can get whilst slagging off the British way of living. As for being at 'A Crossroads', it passed that point more than 20 years ago and since then Britain is going down a Blind Alley thanks to tranches of gutless Politicians in all the major Political Parties.
