Da Nang Hotels?
Coffee money to many people buddy. We cant assume the OP is skint. Nonsense. 10 min Grab bike ride at most. Yes there are annoying tourist clusters at the beach but thankfully the beach is huge and one can just sidestep that crap. Cops just doing their job buddy.... those kids probably didnt have their license or theyre wanted on some other charge. To the OP, dont worry about the cops, they do a fine job in VN and never hassle Westerners. Cheers buddy -

Pattaya Launches Safety Campaign for Songthaew Drivers and Tourists
I don't take photos of people on baht buses. Lived in Pattaya for decades, use baht buses. Plenty of Russians on the buses. Do you use baht buses? they run to Jomtien where there are plenty of them I speak a smattering of Russian as I took some in high school during the cold war. -

Date of exit stamp if flight at 1a.m.? Recent experiences?
Immigration will want to see your boarding pass and passport, nothing else. As far as I know, the stamp in your passport will show the date you pass through immigration regardless of the time of your flight. If it was 23.50 hours on the 15th September when you pass through immigration, your departure date will be shown in your passport as 15th September regardless of your flight being at 01.00 16th September. I'm sure if this is incorrect, someone will be along to put me straight. Interesting point you raise though as in theory, you are not actually departing Thailand until the day after in the example you have quoted. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Churchill is on record for praising the superiority of "Aryan stock". He was not opponent of Hitler's Aryan ideology but rather espoused it himself. On record. Germany would have been stronger, militarily and economically, if she had prevailed against Russia, clealry, however, it is a completely different question if Hitler would have invaded or made war against the British empire. Most likely he would not have if Britain had agreed to the unconditional peace he offered. There is no contradiction, controrary to your claim. -

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
I'm not sure the Thais can't use computers. I find their driving license system very streamlined. Within hours they issue you with a brand new driving license complete with a nice picture of yourself. When I went to apply for my Thai TIN they issued me with one within minutes. And there's the 90-reporting system, a bureaucratic waste of time from our standpoint, but it doesn't it give Thai bureaucrats plenty of computer practice? -

Man Injured by Collapsed Toilet in Pattaya Rental Room Incident
Typically Thai toilet installations involve using some sort of glue/cement to attach fixture to tiles. IMO insane. Rock back and forth at all and can break loose. The installers (won't call them plumbers) also throw away the wax gasket that links toilet with sewer pipe. They don't use those "donuts" nor do they use anchor bolts. Having a new toilet put in while I am away. I was insistent they use proper bolts and gasket. Will they do it? Here is a diagram of how it should be done so that it works and lasts... -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
You are completely wrong. Not only did the British government take the peace offer very seriously, they sought out German diplomatic staff to explore the peace offer, as the archives show: "Secret files made public today reveal how an Etonian fascist sympathiser was used by the British government in an ill-fated attempt to explore the possibility of a peace deal with Germany during the Second World War. Memos written by the security service, MI5, and released by the National Archives, show James Lonsdale-Bryans, who was known to hold extreme right wing views, was given Foreign Office clearance to make secret trips to Italy." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/aug/31/secondworldwar.nationalarchives In addition, William L. Shirer's account has long been discredited as a source. The book contains ludicrous made up nonsense such as Hitler chewing a carpet. Nobody in academia refers to this book. -

Foreign pickup driver flees after crashing into Thai woman in Phuket
I was parked and a Thai driver was teaching his son to drive. He hit the front wheel arch and caused a bit of damage. He just stopped and changed back into the drivers seat and gave me a quick wai and shot off while I was checking the damage.
