Pattaya reopens entertainment venues after day of alcohol sales ban, prepares for upcoming
Pattaya reopens its entertainment venues on October 18 after a temporary prohibition on alcohol sales during the Buddhist holiday of “Ok Phansa” on October 17. PATTAYA, Thailand – As Pattaya reopens its entertainment venues on October 18 after a temporary prohibition on alcohol sales during the Buddhist holiday of “Ok Phansa” on October 17, police are stepping up enforcement to ensure compliance with standard regulations. These proactive measures aim to prevent illegal activities, including drug use, underage patronage, possession of unlicensed weapons, and prostitution. Officers performed random checks on entertainment venues serving alcohol, verifying business licenses and staff documents, and ensuring no illegal activities were taking place.

5% of CNG Buses Fail Safety Checks After Fatal Fire in Thailand
So How did they pass and Who did the last inspections ? ? Track these wonkers down. Thailand needs to up it's game on safety, and it's not always about money, some is down to pure laziness, and ineffective training by teachers who don't know how to inspect properly in the first place. -

Police Seize 220M Baht in Luxury Cars, Gold, and More from 'The Icon' Group
Are those in any way traceable? I know the US government has had some success at clawing back some of these illegal crypto holdings. But I don't how they did it, or if the Thai government can get these back? -

EV Charging Stations (CS)
Unfortunately, since the charging is free, courtesy and consideration has flown out the window. I suspect this would be the case whether here in Thailand or anywhere else. Whereas at Rever’s 8 baht per kWh, you can bet that practically everyone will stop at 80% and continue at home (or at PTT/PEA if off peak) if wanting to charge to 100%. -

Are Older Men in Thailand Trading Love for Financial Ruin
My girlfriend actually told me she prefers to be with a Farang BECAUSE a Farang does not expect to pay everything for his woman. She thinks that most Thai men are old-fashioned in the sense that they will expect to pay for their woman, making her dependent upon him. She told me that with me, she can feel like she contributes as much financially as me, and feels she is her own woman more than she ever could with a Thai man. I couldn't believe it when she told me, he had to ask her for clarification about 3 times before I was convinced I had heard it right and it was not just something else getting lost in translation. Normally we use an app to split our expenses 50-50. Food, rent, everything. I do sometimes offer to pay for things which I know are expensive for her or that she normally would not do or get if it wasn't for me. But we are generally talking about relatively small things. Pizza, massage, something like that. And no we are not married, but she tells me she is not so interested in marriage in general. You'd be surprised how independent some Thai women are, especially if they have a decent income themselves. And with all of this, my gf still does not expect or even want me to do half of the household, like an independent woman in my country would. She honestly treats me like a <deleted> king. If I attempt to clean up, she will tell me "go rest, you are tired", even though she works more than me. She won't take no for an answer. She does so much for me. I do make sure I give her some good D in return most nights. I've had one relationship before with a western woman and it was the total opposite. She was arrogant, terribly lazy, expected me to clean up after her, just horrible. Didn't want sex most days cause she was too tired. I will likely never go back to western women. Sure, many Thai women who are with westerners think of the whole picture; the prospects of maybe moving to a better house or being able to travel a bit do help, but mostly Thai women are interested in being with a decent guy who doesn't drink too much, doesn't beat her and doesn't cheat too much. However, I will also admit that I like being with a Thai woman because of the entire picture, including the fact that it makes it easier for me to live in Thailand. -

Coming to Thailand
That's your opinion, and you are totally entitled to it. Personally, I drank a lot of beer during my brief internment during Thailand's lockdown, primarily because travel and shopping was still significantly challenged by local restrictions. My non-exempt entry expired shortly after they closed the borders, so after a couple of covid extensions and getting a new retirement extension, I was out of here 1st June 2021. Our overall spending was significantly LESS than normal due to Covid restrictions. It was amazing to see the surge of nervous squatters posting the unanswerable question of "will they still issue covid extensions?" on this forum towards the end of their current 60-day extension. There were PLENTY of opportunities to go home or elsewhere. I was offshore Malaysia (after serving their quarantine requirements) and back in the UK by September 2021 to get the Covid shots that were still a total lottery to get here. Came back here in November. After some surgery here in February 2022, I was back working in Sabah. That's where I was when the government ended the covid extension charade. But maybe you were a milkman. Thanks for arguing. -

BBC Viewers Outraged Over Decision to Cancel HARDtalk: A ‘Grave Mistake’
Agree, never liked paying the licence fee. But I mainly object to the ridiculous numbers of layers of management in the BBC, far more of a waste of money than the presenters (not justifying or condoning by the way). All those managers, yet so many high profile people got away with some pretty heinous acts. But I still watch BBC News as it's generally unbiased and they try to be accurate. Plenty of folks could raise items where they believe they are not of course. And so can I, but when compared with MSNBC, Fox etc. they are angels. -

Be warned about Lazada's new silly rule
My new order is 23,290 with delivery seller own fleet. Seller S.Electric. This TV is sitting atop a credenza in the kitchen with HiFi speakers either side of it, the headphone jack will plug into the amplifier Aux input so the last thing I want is another soundbar. I have an LG soundbar in the cupboard for the last 5 years.
