Makes me laugh that you blokes just whine on about your silly, daily battles that are just the norm back in your home countries.... meanwhile - I have battles going on:

Wrestling 2 snakes in the jungle, one between the doorway and me and the other under the dresser. I'm home alone... what to do? Leap past number one, grab the broom......

No 2 is back in the bedroom? There are 2 of them between me and the front door.....

Well, first of all - don't sit at your computer.

Aren't most snakes more worried than you? I usually find that they slither away, once they are aware of you. Try to make some noise and if you can shut them in a room, go and get help.

Seafood buffet

georgegeorgia · yesterday at 02:43 AM1 day

I would like to try a beautiful delicious seafood buffet I don't know where to go in Pattaya for this ,hence I'm seeking analysis on this project I'm not particularly concerned about price , but as I don't like crowds or people sitting near me , I don't like too many people where it's obnoxiously overcrowded where people are pushing shoving fighting for the food I find people seem attracted to me like honey to a pot , I could be in a restaurant say Sizzlers and there is hundreds of tables

Poll -- Ethiopian restaurant in Pattaya?

Jingthing · yesterday at 08:51 AM1 day

There are a number of cuisines types that are probably more obviously missing in Pattaya now (notably Indonesian and Malaysian) but this topic is about Ethiopian. I'm curious about the interest and possible demand for a decently priced, reasonably good/authentic Ethiopian restaurant here. I know that many urban Americans are familiar with Ethiopian food, but I'm not sure about Europeans and other nationalities. It's my impression that it;'s a kind of food that once tried, the majority will li

The International Left's Dangerous Appeasement of Iran, A Wake Up Call for Global Security! In an era where state sponsors of terrorism like Iran continue to escalate their nuclear threats, it's alarming to see elements of the international left, including disillusioned citizens of Western countries, turning a blind eye or even justifying such actions as responses to USA/Israel aggression, especially after repeated attempts at negotiations . This pattern of appeasement not only undermines glob

From break-up ballad to The Doors’ darkest anthem

bannork · 1 hour ago1 hr

It began as a simple break-up song for a lost love. It ended up becoming one of rock music’s darkest, strangest and most disturbing masterpieces. The haunting track “The End” by The Doors started life in the summer of 1965 after frontman Jim Morrison was dumped by his longtime girlfriend, art student Mary Werbelow. Heartbroken Morrison poured his feelings into a tender goodbye song. The couple had first met three years earlier on a beach in Clearwater, Florida. Their relationship seemed stron

Is the US losing interest in the war with Iran?

spidermike007 · 5 hours ago5 hr

Trump appears to have thought that this was going to be a fairly simple process, and he believed Netanyahu when he was told that this would be a fun and easy adventure. Let's bomb Iran together old buddy. This has very obviously not turned out like Don assumed it would, and he's very likely looking for an off-ramp at this point. Financial havoc? Inflation? A declining stock market? More instability? This sums up the current nightmare Don is facing. Regime change was the plan, but Trump finds i

Washington and Tel Aviv now claim they’re “lowering the intensity” of their strikes so they can keep attacking longer. Spare us this bull<deleted>. Iran has been throwing waves of cheap drones and missiles precisely to exhaust US and Israeli weapons stockpiles,and it’s painfully obvious that strategy is working. And there is more: Russia and China are providing targeting data to allow Iran to successful destroy American assets. Is it working? Let’s see: The American satellite imaging

Thai Navy Seizes 2 Indonesian Fishing Boats in EEZ
Thai Navy Seizes 2 Indonesian Fishing Boats in EEZ

Georgealbert posted a topic in Thailand News - Discussion

Thai maritime authorities have arrested 19 crew members after intercepting two Indonesian fishing vessels accused of illegally operating in Thai waters. The operation was carried out on 12 March 2026 by officials from the Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Centre Region 3 (MECC Region 3), the Royal Thai Navy’s Third Naval Area Command and other related agencies. Get today's headlines by email All 19 suspects were brought ashore at the Customs Pier in Phuket province and handed over to investigators at Wichit Police Station. Authorities confirmed the crew will face legal proceedings under Thai law for illegal fishing and entering Thailand’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) without authorisation. The arrests followed a report from a network of fishing vessels operating in the area. The fishermen alerted authorities after spotting a group of five Indonesian fishing boats conducting fishing activities inside Thailand’s EEZ. Officials determined the vessels were located about 87 nautical miles from the pier at the Phang Nga Naval Base. In response, the navy deployed the patrol vessel HTMS Klong Yai to investigate the situation. Pictures courtesy of Matichon Upon arrival at the location, the patrol ship discovered Indonesian fishing boats actively engaged in fishing operations. According to authorities, the vessels attempted to flee when they noticed the Thai naval ship approaching. HTMS Klong Yai pursued the boats and successfully intercepted two of them. A total of 19 crew members were found aboard the two vessels and were detained during the operation. The remaining vessels reportedly escaped the area before authorities could intercept them. Officials have not released further details about the identities of the detained crew members. Illegal fishing in Thailand’s EEZ remains a recurring enforcement challenge in the Andaman Sea region. Authorities say such operations can harm marine resources and undermine local fishing communities that depend on regulated fishing zones. Maritime officials emphasised that Thailand continues to strengthen patrols and coordination among enforcement agencies to prevent foreign fishing vessels from entering Thai waters illegally. The operation reflects ongoing monitoring efforts by the navy and maritime security authorities in southern waters. Matichon reported that following their transfer to Wichit Police Station, investigators will proceed with legal action against the suspects in accordance with Thai maritime and fisheries laws. Authorities have not yet announced specific charges or potential penalties.

bannork replied to bannork's topic in What the Papers are Saying

That's a bit pessimistic, Roadsternut. I'm only 70 and have loved this song since the late 60s. Jim had a real gift for melody, as mentioned the beginning sounds like a love song, a beautiful farewell to a lover, but then it transforms... . Perhaps it shouldn't considering the subject matter he gets into, lol, but then it developed as it was performed live, and The Doors, Jim, were into drama, weaving themes with music. He was a hopeless alcoholic but he could certainly write a tune, and sometimes poetry. Just tipping my hat to a great band.

After Aggressive Pruning: Can/will this tree even survive?

GammaGlobulin · 11 hours ago11 hr

Dear Folks, As we all know, most trees in the city, or the suburbs, get pruned. Most seem to survive this cutting. However, some never recover. At this time, I am worried about my favorite tree which has been growing near my property for some time, and which has provided me with welcome shade from the sun, during the Hot Seasons. I have no idea concerning the botanical name for this species of tree. I just know that it once was beautiful. My hope is that it will re-grow into its former se

Why do electric-power outages very rarely happen during evening hours?

GammaGlobulin · yesterday at 05:44 PM1 day

Dear Folks, Have you ever wondered why grid-related power outages are extremely rare during evening hours, while PEA workers are asleep? Yet, they happen all the time while these PEA workers are awake and ON-THE-JOB? Ever wondered about THIS? Just an innocent question...and.... Can you, or anyone, provide a good and logical explanation? Please feel free to chime-in with your thoughts. Thank you. Best regards, Gamma NOTE: By evening hours, we mean about 7:00pm to 5:30am, in case we need
