    Could that not be construed as advertising alcohol?

    New as in relatively new by comparison; Khon Kaen is about 250 years old, Songkhla is about 400 years old, and Nakhon Si Thammarat is over 1,000 years old.

    Hat Yai is a new town, think Milton Keynes, it exists because of the railway which only opened in 1909.

    What were you expecting, the Eiffel Tower, herd's of wildebeest sweeping majestically over the plains? Hat Yai's a nice city to live in and raise a family, but it's not Rome, London or New York, most people who live here are aware of that.

    I almost fell off my chair reading that. I'm not sure which is more far fetched, Hat Yai becoming a new Singapore, or the Democrat Party returning to government.

    Mad F%^*&r Carlson was costing Old Scrotum Face way too much money.

    She's lucky she can afford to lose 25 million Baht.

    Nope. Not my experience, very seldom found hotels with slippery tiles in the bathroom, and in our house all our bathrooms have patterned tiles that are not slippery.

    Wife went to see them today. Apparently it was something of a scrum in there many, many people wanting to know why their bills were so high. She eventually got to see the right person, nothing can be done about the current bill, but they will change the coding for the next one. We may receive a house visit to verify that the property is now solely residential, which is to be expected.

    Sadly that didn't include a vow of silence.

    It was happily animist and pagan until the 'one god' squad turned up, so what's new?

    Streets are awash with seamen.

    No, the previous owner used the ground floor as a shop (wedding costume hire), but we've never used the house for business.

    That's never going to happen, our monthly average for the last 12 months is a little over 800kWh. It's a 4 storey shophouse unit. Wife will talk to PEA about getting the meter type corrected. .
  15. Stocky
    I checked the comparable rates on the PEA website https://www.pea.co.th/en/electricity-tariffs The tariff is the same for both Residential (over 150kWh per month) and Small General Service, but I'm being hit for 1.5492Bht on the fuel tax surcharge, I saw someone say if was 0.9343Bht for residential.

    I've just realised our meter type is a 2125

    I wouldn't disagree.

    Mine arrived this morning, ouch! Last month 748kWh and Bht4,572, this month 1119kWh and Bht6,942. It's the hot time of year and we've family staying over Songkran, so to be expected.

    Why the confused smilies? Over 20 years of military action have failed to put down the southern insurgency. Perhaps it's time to have a serious go at a negotiated settlement. I don't support the use of violence, but understand the reasons why a minority have resorted to it.
  20. Stocky
    My position is that violence begets violence, the Thai government needs to reach a negotiated settlement.

    It obviously depends on your point of view, as I said "one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter", clearly the reverse holds true "one person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist".
  22. Stocky
    One person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

    Any intelligence would be a step up.

    Self diagnosis and medicating for hypertension might not be the wisest thing to do.

    The doctor who prescribed losartan for him 2 weeks ago is the one best placed to advise him, not random people on a forum, nor Dr Google.
