Elegant Kamthieng House to close for major renovations

Followers

December 7, 20232 yr

The iconic traditional Thai house known as the Kamthieng House Museum at the Siam Society under Royal Patronage in Soi Asoke (Sukhumvit 21) is closing for major renovations from 30 December 2023, the Society has announced.

“After a considerable amount of delay, the Siam Society wishes to inform the public that a group of highly experienced artisans specialising in the area of conservation of historical buildings, will now commence work to restore our beloved Kamthieng House Museum to its former glory, the Siam Society says on its official website.

The delay is mainly because it takes time to find the right carpenters and craftmen to renovate such an important architectural structure, Thai PBS World has learned.

However, Commander Bone Spurs has just realised how much more unpopular a new draft could make him look. Let’s take a look at “automatic” registration collected from govt databases by DOGE and other agencies. However, is it really possible to track any individual down? We’re all pretty mobile. Selective Service is terminally broken. Failure to register can result in refusal

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win

Farage faces Clacton showdown as rivals refuse to stand Nigel Farage's dramatic gamble to resign as MP and force a by-election has taken another extraordinary twist after Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain all announced they will not contest the seat. The Reform UK leader resigned his Clacton seat insisting voters—not Westminster—should judge the allegations surrounding his finances. If re-elected, Farage says he will return to Parliament with an
