  1. British backpacker murderers make fresh appeal against sentence (video) Rate this topic By webfact 19 hours ago in Koh Samui News Source: The Thaiger 2024-04-02 FYI, aseannow re-reports news articles from news sources in Thailand and worldwide, and presents them on a web forum. It does not create the headlines, nor the news. But you would know that if you could understand what you were reading.
  2. Morris and Watson Thailand 46/4 Charoenraj Road Bangklo Bangkorlaem Bangkok 10120 Thailand Tel: +66 2 164 1021-3 They will melt your coins down and pay spot price for the gold content. Contact first to make appointment, describe your coins, attach pictures to email, state your preference: bank transfer, or cash. They will answer with an estimate. There will be a melt charge, in my case about 300 baht.
  3. First it was called a "massacre", now it's called an "incident", in a couple of years it'll be an "event".
  4. When I got a new Passport (US) about 8 years ago, the passport number also changed. Does this still occur? If that's the case, then you will need to update all the places that are linked to the old number (bank accounts, maybe sim cards, etc.)
  5. Ode to the Toilet: ♬"I can't live, if living is without you-hu-hu!"♪
  6. especially when it's the police themselves doing the reform, then it's gonna be real easy On a sidenote, the correct name for the Thai police is "Royal Thai Police". In news articles that name was much more in use in the past, now it seems the "Royal" portion does not show up when describing those scandals. IMO, there is definitely some distancing going on.
  7. Time, as interpreted by humans, is measured at its most accurate by atomic clocks monitoring the resonant frequency of atoms. This is not influenced by Earth's climate. However, my 90 day reporting interval is influenced by Earth's rotation, and therefore could very well be affected...
  8. Gambling to the rescue! Anything to save the economy! Anything, except eradicating systemic corruption in government, industry and society, nepotism and bribery spawning inept decision makers who compound failure... Yes, gambling is much easier to implement than changing ones nature, but... once established and integrated into a corrupt system, gambling won't do much to help the economy, it will help certain individuals who control, legislate and cover up. Then something else will have to save the economy, again, and be corrupted, again. You will run out of things to pin your hope on! And then what? A war? With those Generals?
  9. yes, serve it up on a platter
  10. "Need backup at secretive pub. Come quick!"
  11. I just investigated myself and can happily confirm that I have not taken any bribes either. The whole process took 1.5 sec.
  12. Thaksin trailblazed a clear path through Thailand's jungle of laws and Jakrapob follows it all the way to the trough...
  13. IMO a "Hotel Act" exists to govern hotels. If you need to govern Airbnbs, then make an "Airbnb Act". Get your act together and don't conflate acts, all you do is create loopholes. But maybe that's your purpose...
  14. Congrats. However, one caveat: remember the cannabis bill...? In essence, the legislative passes a law, and the government tries to eff it up.
  15. The corrupt cracking down on the corrupt...
  16. and Norwegian-Thai couple uncovers police-linked karma network
  17. Thanakorn must have been under the impression he had some credit left.
  18. don't forget to pay your tax on that foreign revenue
  19. What is that farang implying here? Does she know-how to bypass a fuse using a 0ne-baht coin, hmm?
  20. I see a dull ochre and medium umbra color...
  21. I wish he would have done his neckbrace in the same traditional way as graduation hats, that would have earned him some "cool points". Opportunity lost...
  22. Dazzling. Quite worthless though since the reporting omits the actual numbers being percentaged and tripled. Gotta do like the TAT and make up my own numbers: Chinese bookings have increased to over a trillion, while now there are 37 Thais travelling to China.
