PHUKET:-- Phuket will have eight alcohol-free, safe water-play zones for celebrating Songkran this Friday (April 13), officials have confirmed.

“Officials are making preparations, and will patrol the water-play areas to prevent people from any harm,” he said.

What a beautiful world we have come to. Now they need to patrol people shooting with water guns, so that they do not harm eachother or take a beer at the same time.

Care / residential / retirement home?

Johnlkuk · 2 hours ago2 hr

I asked a few months back about a fit to fly certificate for my (now 95 years young) neighbour. Sadly, due to his age and failing health, a realisation has set in, for him and his family, that staying here for his final days may be his better option. Right now his family are funding full time care in his own condo, but are now contemplating if a care home would be a better option. Can anyone recommend any places local to Pattaya? And, if possible, approximate costs for a live in resident in

trumps poo flown back from turkey

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w
