Hat Yai

Last year the monsoon started early October then stopped, didn't get going again until November and then carried on into January rather than ending around New Year. Weather this year in Hat Yai has been all over the place, so suspect the monsoon season this year will be similarly unpredictable.

Would you care to substantiate this? 95% is rather a certain number in as yet very uncertain field of study.

It's a secret

Much of the central area of Hat Yai, from Kimyong Market south to Lee Garden Plaza and on to BP Grand is a tourist trap. If you really want overpriced food then check out the evening food stalls around Lee Garden Plaza, prices are laughable, but Malaysians flock there.

But it's a food stall in Kimyong market that draws a lot of Malaysian, Singapore & Indonesian tourists (and the occasional South Korean) who seem happy enough to pay the inflated prices. There are plenty of other places that sell excellent Hat Yai fried chicken.

From the restaurants response to the YouTubers they should have been charged Bht380 as follows 3 large thigh pieces @ Bht80 = Bht240, 3 drumsticks @ Bht35 = Bht100, 2 boxes of rice @ Bht 20 per box = Bht40 - total Bht380. But they charged for 6 large thigh pieces Bht480 plus Bht40 for the rice. https://www.msn.com/th-th/news/other/แพงไปมั้ย-ยูทูบเบอร์ดัง-ซื้อไก่ทอด-6-ชิ้น-520-บาท/ar-AA1gx7Lq

It's not plain rice, they serve the chicken on a biriyani style rice. The food's very good, which is why people a willing to queue for an hour or more.

This is what happens when you destroy the coastal mangrove forests

What others do is up to them, why should it concern you?

This is hardly news, they've extended the state of emergency every quarter since 2005. If they rescinded the state of emergency in the south then that would indeed be newsworthy. No it doesn't, an insurgency is just an armed rebellion by a smaller force against a much larger one, usually conducted as guerrilla warfare, doesn't imply funding from abroad.

Likewise and currently have a Galaxy A53 5G which behaves itself perfectly. Neither do I, but you can get it to automate stuff things like switch to vibrate at certain times or in certain circumstances. Not all of the Samsung range have Bixby, mine does but I don't use it. .

Which Samsung model is this? The suggestion to check your do not disturb settings is a good one, the only other way to change sound/vibrate/silent settings automatically that I can think of is via a Bixby routine.

Actually he was elected, just not the leader of the party with the biggest share of the vote.

+1 Colchicine - works for me If I get a gout flare up then 1.2 mg followed by 0.6 mg an hour later does the trick - the earlier you do so the better. But I find one 0.6mg tablet once a fortnight seems to keep my uric acid under control. .

So what's the plan, topple the Waterfront Condo mess into the bay and voila! you have a cruise liner terminal?

1-2 years unlikely, Songkhla immigration guidance says validity 6 months. Suggest you ask the immigration office you apply at.

No the government has already made it the hub of stupid ideas, this just the LOS tag gradually becoming the 'Land of Stupefaction'

No you numpty, I mean why shouldn't they have a bit of fun, I wasn't volunteering!

Why not?

My wife suffers tonic-clonic seizures. It's intermittent triggered by a stressful situation on top of worry and poor sleep. Seizures started in her teens after an accident causing a blow to the head. She has had bad reactions to most epilepsy medication so has leant to manage by recognising the symptoms and using sleeping tablets if missing sleep, and or sedative if worried or stressed. She's not had a seizure now for over ten years. There was no family history of epilepsy. I wish your son well.

That would be a journey of over 2,000km against the currents.

There isn't really a practice of tipping in Thailand. Personally, in restaurant I just round up, though these days with QR code scan to pay I just pay the bill. However, if a waiter/waitress has been particularly attentive I'll probably put a 100 in hand as leaving. Hotels I just leave the shrapnel, handymen/maids are already being paid to do a job. Taxis just round up.
