Most of the prostitution is controlled by the police anyway. They are either pimps or fine the girls .

I have eaten at " all you can eat buffets " Many of them are just that and you can keep going back for more. But if you leave food uneaten on your plate you get charged double. This stops greedy people piling food on their plates and wasting uneaten food. The rules are clear before you start

But if he dies she will probably get everything back. He had better sleep with one eye open and keep looking over his shoulder.

The victim was a Pakistani refugee and he died from his injures. The car driver reported to the police after he left hospital. The police said he will probably be charged with causing death through reckless driving. It will be interesting to see if this case gets as much attention as the Ducati case.

So Prayut is now taking advice from Anutin the health minister ? But of course Anutin with no qualifications in the medical profession is an expert on this matter.

She based the 30 million on lost earnings from Tangmo. She was expecting Tangmo to be at the top of her profession and earning a good salary for the next 30 years. That would be highly unlikely where looks were her meal ticket. Her income would have dropped drastically as she got older and lost her looks. Maybe 3 million would be a fairer figure.

WISE are great. I get my UK government pensions through them. Always on time and top rate, in certain countries you can also get a WISE debit card ( sadly not in Thaland ) VEEM are also good but a poorer exchange rate and much slower service.

On the fence again, same as the war ( It is a war ) in Myanmar. Thailand cannot even sort out it's ongoing war in the South of Thailand. Too many armchar Generals in charge, probably none have even seen action.

Thailand will not rush to condemn Russia over Ukraine, but will they be sympathetic and supportive to all the Russian tourists and Russian ex pats ? Who are in Thailand and can't pay their bills because their credit cards and bank accounts have been frozen. Also as flights have also been banned to Russia how will these people return home?

Korat had it's name changed to Nakhon Ratchasima, but people, mainly Thais still call it Korat. this is very confusing to visitors as all the road signs say Nakhon Ratchasima and not Korat. Bangkok will probably be the same. Thais will shorten the name, as they do now to Krung Thep or stick with the easily recognised name of Bangkok. These office wallers have too much free time on their hands and are trying to justify their positions.

I wonder whose brilliant idea this is ? We can only guess can't we ? People still cannot pronounce the name of Bangkok's main airport Suvarnabhumi. ( me included ) The same as Nakhon Ratchasima is still called Korat by most people.

" It had been raining and the roads were slippery, reported Thai Rath." Thais cannot drive in the rain, they only know one speed and never drive to suit road or weather conditions. Pick-ups are goods vehicles they are not designed for speed.They are very light on the rear end and difficult to control on wet roads.
