Don't care that much. Frozen anyway. Unsustainable though, given the state of the UK economy and demographics. That's fairly obvious.

The truth is this liberalisation threatens a lucrative income stream.

Thais use toilet rolls the same way we use tissues. A bit of a cultural shift for Western newcomers, I guess. It just doesn't have the connotation with bum wiping that we have. Once you get used to the bum gun it all makes perfect sense.

Most chinese go to South Korea for plastic surgery.
Yeah, when I think cosmetic surgery I think S.Korea. Pretty ubiquitous here though. Cheaper, I guess.

Phat kahrao is a staple with me, but I don't know if I'd classify it as anything particularly special.

Stupid idea, expect it to wither on the vine.

No way this guy can pay 27m, which begs the question why award it in the first place. Symbolic, I suppose, and failure to pay may influence sentencing.

I remember a UK embassy guy, whose work involved sorting out these messes - contacting relatives, arranging burial, etc., telling me this sort of thing is not at all uncommon in Thailand. Many cases go unreported.

Yeah, I noticed this too. Put me off even going near the place, haven't visited in years. What I would say is that a lot of these guys aren't really local; Phuket is a kind of magnet that attracts people from all over the country. Case in point, my current SO is from Petchaburi, but I met her in Phuket.

Did the thrown grenade explode? The report doesn't say one way or the other. It does say one found inside the house with the pin pulled was a dud.

Why am I here? Kipling summed it up pretty much in his poem "Mandalay".

The "bullet in the luggage" scam
First thing I thought about on reading the headline; all very strange, who carries (even inadvertently) a single bullet, in their luggage.

Lost, then found, one of our dogs recently, so I know where they're coming from. They really do become like family members after a while. Lost cats are even more problematic than lost dogs cos cats have so many predators in Thailand.

This lawfare is destroying the legitimacy of the US legal system, a heavy price to pay for some petty, or maybe not so petty, political advantage. I mean, you sort of expect it in a country like Pakistan, with all their Imran Khan shenanigans, but the US?

Never really understood this conflict, but as long as it stays in the South, I don't much care.

RTP corruption is pretty much a given, I doubt any of these guys has clean hands, so Big Joke is probably right when he says that this is more to do with internal politicking rather than any real concern about alleged misconduct.

Which is worse, I wonder, Thai immigration jail or the Ukrainian front line.
