Damn if only we stayed in the EU, then we will be doing as great as those country’s in the Eurozone……

A mixed race lesbian female basketball player or a white heterosexual Marine? Let’s not all act shocked here. Russia knew exactly what their ace card here was. The Biden administration was always going to bring the person home who actually committed an offence over the the one whose done nothing and Russia knew this. All based on the usual west’s obsession..race, gender blah blah blah blah ….boring ????

It does seem to be the new buzz word on Visa of late. I have stopped smoking weed since it became legal. The illegality of it was part of the buzz…looks like it’s .back onto the Meth for me.

Well the UK government have at least got their emergency military relief prioritised in these strikes. The Royal Navy will take over from the RNLI and Border force to safely land more Albanian men escaping the war torn country of Albania.

My brother is a headmaster of a decent school in SE England , his wife is a teacher at a different school in the SE. Like me they are in their early 50’s. They both said through lockdown most teachers loved the time off with full pay and used C19 at every opportunity not to come to work and still do. Most are Labour voters, or just Tory haters and very active in far left politics inc the ‘woke’ politics. The teachers that are not on the same page rarely if ever talk politics to them or their students and that includes my brother. But many teachers bang on about this woke stuff in class no matter what the subject..inc maths..did you know maths is racist now ????. Royal Mail have good reasons to be on strike as it’s not mainly about a pay rise, it’s more complicated. The teachers…well they are mostly off anyway and imo could do with a shake up …and the GP,s …I only saw mine once just over a year ago because they were getting a one off incentive payment for a face to face appointment, he actually rang me himself for it! Now it’s back to the 2/3 week wait if they can’t convince you that your pharmacist could sort you out, so we probably wouldn’t notice them being on strike. At my local surgery the GP’s only work a 3 day week . Maybe they all have good reasons to join the posties on strike…who knows.

The brown padded envelopes will be huge .

What’s APEC git to do with tourists numbers? Am I missing something? 5 day break ??

Probably the only reason he’s being nicked is because he stabbed and murdered the ‘wrong’ person.

Most crimes are solved by the general public with information in the West tbf. But yes the RTP are far from proactive. They even need a nudge at times to be reactive.

My wife’s son came home last night unannounced…rolled in around 1 am. It seems like only yesterday he was a good kid but in the last year he’s changed. Nearly 20 now and in Uni but he’s doing drugs. Seriously bad attitude and at the moment only getting away with it because his mother is in total denial. I was no angel back in the day and a lot worse than what he is right now so I don’t suffer his bull and he knows it. Every time he walks in the house it seems like a depressing shadow looms over and my wife and daughters are walking on egg shells around him. This isn’t MJ by the way (I’m partial to the odd puff myself) I gathered it was opiates of some sort and my suspicions were confirmed when I rifled through his bag to find strips of Tramadol. They buy a strip of 10 50mg tabs from chemists for 60 baht. I’m only here 3months on and 4/6 off for work so when I came back this time the change in him was obvious. Apologies if this is off the ‘actual’ news topic but i just needed to write it down and I suppose it’s relevant. I have two grown kids in the UK and my son in the UK went through a similar stage this age with the party scene but I’m just too old for this ???? now… I can see a major falling out soon. I have spoken with him but you know when it’s going in one ear and out the other, I just hope it’s a phase…time will tell.

????phew…it’s not a Brit.

I just after several hrs picking hotels and trying to navigate that slow diabolical Airasia web site. Managed to book 4 return tickets from Swampy to Chiangmai. The problem is ( where I was so frustrated with the webpage) I have booked myself, son, wife and daughter under Mr. Do I need to call them or will this just be a ‘ never mind’ Thai moment at check in?

My apologies . You are even older than me you bloody old dinosaur ????

I agree with you on all of that apart from the dinosaurs are having their rant bit. What do you think just because you are younger that this idea hasn’t been in the mind of people for decades and it’s the new thing? As soon as drugs (esp class A’s) are regulated the better. Then hopefully the heinous crimes like human trafficking, murder that go hand in hand with this trade is also stopped or at the least near non existent. And yes he deserves jail imo. He’s not in Nigeria, 99%of them on Suk are serving up and they <deleted> me off no end. Some have been there years whilst I have to jump through hoops to stay here. If I want cocaine in Thailand , I at least wanna buy some off a Thai person for Christ’s sake!

Yeh wore a mask throughout flight with EVA and I ‘reluctantly’ went back to wearing a face mask whilst here. The motorcycle taxis with masks on under their helmets, people sat in cars alone with them on became yet again an hilarious sight to me. I caught it off my son who is in university here. He tested positive 2 days after I arrived on the 11th. I thought I escaped it tbh . Also I’m on my second day since symptoms started and I tested positive and feeling a lot better already. I do take a lot of vitamin d and zinc supplements and although 50, keep myself really fit.

I came back to Thailand on the 9 th of October . Never had Covid before until I tested positive yesterday . Uk no masks , everyone has moved on . I come here everyone still wearing masks and paranoid . I get Covid ????

You mean the one where some Thais in their late 20s to 30’s banged out some old people who got into a little scuffle? If it is , I remember that.

It’s what all those blocking the pubs toilets are using. They are too drunk to notice.

According to my friend ….the good stuff is plentiful there. But then there’s the pub grub of course.

Hi, it’s been over a decade since i took a domestic flight in Thailand. I’m planning a 5 day trip with family to Chang Mai, so any tips on which airline or even the best option of airport? I’m coming from Samut Prakan so both Suvarnabhumi and Don Meung are of similar travelling distance .

Alcohol ruins more lives than any other drug. Weed is not going to be reclassified to class A ????. It’s like Amsterdam in Bristol . Just some old fart spouting nonsense. As one poster already said, cocaine is a major problem. The UK has the highest use in Europe and London the highest city use in Europe . And Bristol has the highest use in the whole of Europe per capita!

Yeh learning proper Thai would benefit you greatly. That would also usually put the bar girl type off. I found going to Thai clubs or those cabaret or German themed places with cabaret the Thais love. You will be the in the minority as a foreigner but you are more likely to meet decent girls.

I’m no doctor but I’m pretty sure most substances excluding MJ (which is now legal) won’t show up in urine after a few days. Pointless exercise anyway just more Asian face show . As the poster said above , controlled random tests would be far better. But thats sensical and will catch some out, so not going to happen.

At least you can talk about it.
