Strange. There has been a lot of flooding in Rayong recently, but how do manage to flip the truck like that?
Also, water looks very shallow in the photo. His friend couldn't have helped Khomsan out after exiting the vehicle himself.?

Just put the phrase "climate change" at the front of any grant or funding request, and it's magically approved.
Scientists wanting funding to study, erm, squirrels just re-name their project "squirrel foraging habits adapting to climate change", and they get their money, e.g.
Someone is paying for all this..

"Greatly boost revenue" for whom?
Probably only the BIB.

Is there anything legal you can kill rats etc with?
Dogs? I had a Thai dog that was an amazing rat-catcher / killer. One quick nip behind the neck; gone.
If you don't like dogs, use a slingshot w/ BB ammo. Can get good ones on Lazada, etc.

Never heard a Thai use the n-word..
There are of course, plenty of equivalent words in Thai usually referring to skin tone.
Perhaps the referee is a fan of Samuel L. Jackson?

Wow, sorry to hear this. Broken ribs are the worst..
Hoping you recover quickly, BritMan.

No need to read past this phrase.
This is what will drive me out of this country sooner, rather than later, which is a shame because I've still got plenty of years left in the honeymoon phase.
Will Thailand become the world's first digital gulag? The majority of the populace is unsophisticated and poor enough to accept anything foisted upon them.
Thailand just paying lip-service to the Globalists they sold out to, imo.
Actual implementation of anything here is another story.

Anyone who thinks this whole idea originates from Thailand need to read up on things like Central Bank of Digital Currencies, WEF, Project2030, Smart Contracts etc.
Yep, let's you know who is backing this Govt. Digital "money" that can only be spent near to your home; has an expiry date, and can only be used at mega-corporation outlets. Your "carbon credits" assessed as you spend, etc.
It's basically using your supposed wealth and assets against you.

His former company is in deep doo-doo financially, right now. Owing creditors a lot of money.

Unless the girlfriend is well educated and in good financial standing with a full time job in Thailand or ongoing business it will next to impossible to get a visa. The USA is very strict on Thai females due to human trafficking issues.
Yes, I'm not sure there may also be a 'quota' to approve how many people allowed into the US also. My wife went for an interview this Feb, and got approved, whilst some other Thai people who my wife thought matched all criteria were rejected, seemingly arbitrarily during he same appointment time.

Thank you for correcting me, I am always on the look out for new beaches to check out so genuinely appreciate it ????
Will add Mae Rim Phim to my list of places to visit after we're done with her Brother "Passing Out" in the Army at the end of this month (That's a couple of days at Takiab Beach, Hua Hin) & my Parents visiting us next month.
Still say my favourite island/beach in Thailand is Ko Samed though ????
Cheers, Mike. Just around the corner (Eastwards) from Mae Rim Phim, there is also the lovely Ao Kai bay, and a little grouping of bars and restaurants. Occasional surfing / skim boarding tournaments and music concerts bring in the younger (Thai) set on weekends.
Anyway, not to derail the thread, some recommendations for the OP on Samet:
Sai Kaew Beach Resort.
Ao Prao Resort.
Vongdeuan Resort.
Samet Pavillion.
All within the OP's price range, and I've had good experience staying at these places w/ family.

Doesn't matter anyway as the OP asked about Ko Samed which happens to be my/our (GF is from Satun & grew up on family holidays to Koh Lipe which makes Phi Phi look like an also ran) favourite island.
(iIRC) Mae Phim beach is windy, smelly & has nothing there save from a wonderful view of the (Shell?) oil refinery but please share why it’s a better holiday destination for the OP.
That would be Mae Rumphung beach, and the view is of the lovely IRPC facility. ????
Mae Rim Phim is a bit further along the coast, and rather pretty good.

Solution: Just deflect criticism over the borders. Those degenerate foreigners again. ????

Seasonal 'flu..
Quotepotential severity of influenza: vaccination and timely medical intervention are essential tools in safeguarding the health and well-being of communities, especially during the rainy season when the risk of respiratory illnesses looms large.
Why doesn't the good doctor prescribe healthy eating habits, Vitamin D, exercise, etc. to boost kid's natural immune systems? ????
Just another schill trying to create panic over nothing to enrich his industry.

I stayed at Kacha hotel, great buffet right on the beach.
Yeah, always liked the Kacha resort. The bungalows on the beach are excellent for the price.
The OP should note (as pointed out by other posters) that the island gets a tremendous amount of rainfall from now 'til December, and sometimes roads get closed due to mudslides, fallen trees, etc.

Seems like just a ruse to introduce digital currency to the Thai population. Similarly to the Chinese system, it is used to control people and limit movement, protest, etc.

More climate change nonsense, how does the possibility of it being slightly hotter or wetter stop the ill from getting to hospital or accessing health care?
It doesn't. But obviously Thailand has signed some deal / trade agreement with the "United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) " who are pushing this b0ll0cks.

Always the same price and supporting traditional Thai businesses.
Mind you, do not ask me about Waitrose raspberry jam from Tops. Price increase of 100 baht per jar. (129 to 229 baht!)
Yes, there are some good local producers at relatively cheap prices. Forget about famous 'brands' and source local if possible.

Their only offence seems to have been impersonating a police officer otherwise they have copied the actions of some RTP perfectly.
Probably the giveaway was a semblance of professionalism.?

Pretty funny to see the Keystone Cops different factions and shady business interests all fighting amongst themselves for power and position..
It would be even better to see the mickey mouse military doing the same, but they're all nicely provided for already, thank you very much. Courtesy of the tax-payer.

A lot of small businesses forced to close down during Covid restrictions popped up again as weed shops.
It's not like the robber baron Junta "government" gave them any compensation, is it?

Why did you choose Thailand?
in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Posted
Came here 30 years ago to set up a franchise from a UK engineering co. with a licensee Thai partner. The business took off, and I'm still here (and in other parts of SE Asia). Didn't really choose Thailand, as much as it chose me, I suppose.
