  1. Past hour
  2. What disturbs me is that the US knew this attack was going to happen and did nothing to stop it. Also, they supply the weapons to Israel.
  3. Nonsense. Yingluck was not removed by a military coup, she was removed by the Constitutional Court before the coup took place.
  4. Phuket is gearing up for a greener future with the launch of a free air-conditioned electric bus service in the heart of the city. Scheduled to accelerate on May 9, this eco-friendly initiative is driven by a collaboration between local companies under the banner of PKCD and the Sustainable Tourism Development Foundation. The announcement for the 22-seat Smart Bus EV was made yesterday, spearheaded by Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat. Supporting the new initiative included Rewat Areerob, President of the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation (PPAO), Phuket Town Mayor Saroj Angkhanapilas, Lertchai Wangtrakuldee, Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Phuket office, and Thaneth Tantipiriyakij, President of the Phuket Tourist Association. The service, open for both residents and tourists, will initially operate every day as a trial period. The buses will operate along a circular route every 30 minutes, from 11am to 10pm. The bus route comprises 16 stops, with Luang Por Rd being the terminus where buses will be parked. Phuket Smart Bus has contributed four electric buses to provide the service. The operator, which also runs a service from Phuket International Airport to Patong to Rawai, has 14 buses in total. All buses will eventually be converted to electric vehicles (EVs). Niphon Ekwanich, Chief Advisor to the PKCD Executive Board, emphasised the importance of sustainable urban development and the use of clean energy in enhancing local lifestyles and promoting environmentally friendly tourism. He explained that both PKCD and the Sustainable Tourism Development Foundation were established to execute various projects related to urban development and environmentally friendly initiatives respectively, reported Phuket News. Bhummikitti Ruktaengam, Chairman of the Sustainable Tourism Development Foundation, pointed out that the electric bus project addresses the issues of traffic congestion and insufficient parking in Phuket Town. By offering an eco-friendly travel option, the project encourages tourists and residents to utilise public transportation. “Using electric buses will reduce air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions, promoting and supporting exchanges and connections between government agencies, the private sector, and related sectors.” By Bob Scott Caption: Picture courtesy of Phuket News Source: The Thaiger 2024-04-19 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe
  5. Addiction is a terrible thing, my father has been an addict since I was around 6 years old and we've not spoken in 20 years now, he went to Falklands then ran a successful business but his father's death sparked a spiral he never recovered from, unfortunately, no amount of help will work unless they want to help themselves. I hope this guy can at least get back to the UK rather than the IDC.
  6. We tried that - check your knowledge of history - you obviously don't like Aussies either. Where do you come from Mr. 'Safety first'? La La Land? No losers of your own? Just vindictive and saddies - like you, eh?
  7. Come on even you have to believe in the reality of what a "wild time it will be " LOL Your hope is he breaks everything, I bet.
  8. Almost no one goes to Pattaya beach anymore Sunrise to Sunset 365 days a year...Go there any day of the week except festival days.....There are almost no people there ......I challenge anyone here to go see for yourself....
  9. Who cares what Iran accepts, the IRGC have been designated terrorists since 2019
  10. Tim Newton was not the founder of Thaiger.
  11. "Probably because he has a Democrat wife who ticks all the DEI boxes." So true JonnyF, the Democrats love the left wing, socialist wanna be somebody liberal DEI women.
  12. Gee, hard to imagine it anything other than an accident. Intoxicated from a pubcrawl, wandering alone presumably at night, he falls. End of story. The only reason it makes news is the locale. Koh Tao is a dangerous place where hi-so Thai brats can get away with murder, but this is just an accident, for sure.
  13. It gets harder and harder to disagree with you. It seems that the journey was more important than the destination to such an extent that the destination became an afterthought.
  14. Slow drones and missiles and after giving Israel plenty of notice. From what I have read lately Iran has something like 3,000 ballistic missiles which are probably a lot faster faster and more accurate, which they chose not to use at the time. Do you think that Iran should have responded with a heavier barrage or simply ignored the Israeli attack on their consulate in Syria. Further to that, what response do YOU think Iran should make to the second unprovoked attack by Israel?
  15. His sign asks for money for food no mention of drugs that’s only hear say although it does state he is wanted in Samui maybe he will get away with it like a certain well known fugitive . When I walk into a lady bar it’s a guarantee that one of them will ask me to buy them a beer is that not begging ! Best thing is ship him back home !
