Harsher Penalties for "Drunk Driving and Repeat Offenders" Demanded
i often hear suggestions for better education and training to address DUI issues. for example, finland has an excellent education system, but without strict enforcement of laws by the police, many finns would still do as they please. (and they like to drink ...) my conclusion for thailand is that better education won't help (it's already being done with many training videos); the only effective solution is the strict enforcement of the laws! which won't happen, as we all know ... -

Patong - The Wake
Nothing much to write about as I have only been out a couple of times in the evenings over the past months, but have managed to get out and about a little during the day. I mentioned the poor state of the roads roads in a previous post and that certainly hasn't changed and because my coccyx is still sore/hurting, I feel every bump and pothole, despite trying to steer around them. The roads are a disgrace, and some workmen have been around plonking tarmac in some of the holes, and the one in Soi Banzaan has had some more tarmac dumped in it, but because the ground has given way under the concrete road, it still keeps falling and no matter how much they put in, it still remains a hole of some description or another! Jumping around the place, the bar at the top of that road, "Blue Sky Bar" actually in Soi Nanai, seems to have opened over the past few days because there have been a couple of girls sitting in it – – no customers, just a couple of serving girls, and it won't be long before that closes again much the same as its previous incarnations have done. One would think that the people opening the bar and paying the rent would realise that it has been a failure ever since it began, and wonder why that was?? Not hard to ascertain, however I won't go into it here. Further down Banzaan, in what used to be a bar/part-time guesthouse called "Canada House" and has been remodelled into a bar, which incidentally I have only ever seen one customer in, is for sale (again). Apparently the owner has it for sale on Facebook for around 3 million baht!! It appears that price is negotiable folks if you want to rush in and make an offer – – yeah right! I haven't seen any punters going in or coming out of the Monster Billiards establishment in Banzaan, but maybe I've missed them, and in reality it's absolutely packed out, day and night? Was nearly involved in a little prang a few days back when a Toyota taxi in front of me had to screech to a halt to avoid hitting a couple of Chinese people who had decided to wander into the road without looking, as they are apt to do, but luckily enough I was following far enough behind to be able to stop before hitting the back of the taxi, but it was a close thing. The lady owner of a massage shop was bemoaning the fact that customers are in short supply and that those that do stop to enquire are usually of Arabic or Indian nature and want to beat the price down, and she refuses to do that. Wandering a little bit away from Patong, I have discovered some wonderful frozen Indian food at "Food for Foreigners" in Chalong, and it is amongst the best I've ever tasted whether frozen or otherwise, so my freezer is now stocked up with it. Coming up for the retirement extension next month, so had better remember to get into Bangkok Bank EARLY to order the account print-out so that they can prove I've had the 800 K in there for the year, because they can take well over a week to 10 days to be able to produce it for me to pick up, and the time before last there was a delay and when I went to immigration I was charged 1500 baht overstay for the three days that the account information was delayed.

Thai supermarket Big C to launch four new branches
Going above and beyond. Truly heroic. Was that a Mini Big C? They don't really count IMHO. When it comes to aisles blocked with carts loaded with folded-up packing cases, I would wager that Lotus's Udon Thani (north end) takes the biscuit. Seems like the shelf stackers aren't tasked with moving empty cases out the back. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Well the Baltics were spoils of WW2 gifted by the allies to Stalin lest we forget. And whatever else Putin is he knows he has bitten off more than he can chew with Ukarine never mind the rest of Europe that is in NATO.This domino theory is errant nonsense to exaggerate the threat. Besides which in the US the Monroe Doctrine still stands which trumps national sovereignity replacing it with naked US self interest. Putin is no Hitler and never was. -

Harris Surges Past Trump In Election Betting Markets After First Presidential Debate
I don't think attractiveness is the issue. Famous incel Elliot Rodger was not repulsively ugly. it was more an attitude problem. He thought he was so good looking and such a gift to the world that women refusing him shattered his ego and sent him down an anger path. They expect too much, incels. but they're not necessarly physically repulsive. -

DIY solar system - how to sell electricity to PEA
On 30 Nov we signed the contract at PEA Phetchaburi. After more than 270 days that they said that fulfillment of the contract will be done, finally PEA Phetchaburi came to inspect the system. Within 1 hour they finished the inspection. Everything is OK. Next and last step is a visit next month by an accountant of PEA Prachuap Khiri Khan to sign the selling agreement. On the same day the meter will also be changed. A friend who is from PEA Pranburi explained us the new situation with the bill: 1) the current A6-ish size bill will be replaced by an A4 size bill. It contains kwh used and kwh produced amounts. Also the debit/credit amounts. This bill is prepared and printed out at the office and will be delivered monthly to our mailbox. No mobile printout anymore by the delivery man at the gate. 2) if there is a credit amount, this can be collected at the PEA office or using the PEA smart app. I assume some authorisation is necessary to enable promptpay payment by the bank 3) credit amount does not need to be collected every month. If not collected it will accumulate to the next month. -

Liquid limits at airport security...
A litre of brandy set alight at 40,000 ft might cause some excitement I imagine....I'd rather no one could do that. -

Liquid limits at airport security...
Can't remember the last time I had to remove liquids from my bags in Thailand or any other airport I've been to in the last few years. The laptop yes, at every airport I've been to.
