  1. “After the plane arrived at the Bangkok airport, it was parked for three hours. The ground staff said there was a technical issue and the pilot failed the pre-departure inspection twice.” ——— How did the pilot fail inspection? Improper uniform? Or perhaps something more nefarious?
  2. “Anutin further raised the question of revoking Straumann’s visa, reported Bangkok Post. In related news, the Immigration Bureau revoked the visa of a Swiss man involved in assaulting a female Thai doctor in Phuket. He faced legal action and public backlash, leading to visa cancellation.” ———- So Anutin wants his visa revoked and the very next sentence it says IO already did so. Hmmm…
  3. Received an email alert from my embassy saying there could be possible demonstrations in Bangkok and elsewhere.
  4. Restoreprivacy dot com has reviews of most vpn’s. Worth a look.
  5. Do they equate eligible voters with registered voters? Less than 5-million voted in a country of greater than 60-million people. The largest turnout ever? I realize that many are under voting age, but that few voted? Hmmm…
  6. Maybe you could blur out the logos for the companies that would probably rather go quietly.
  7. The graph showing deaths cannot be right. Covid hit Thailand (and everywhere) in early 2020, not April 2021. Is that when they started tracking it?
  8. He was fined ฿3,000 and released! That’ll sure stop him from doing anything like that again! (Sarcasm intended.)
  9. I’m in the middle of a back and forth with one of the on-line companies (not naming them for fear of defamation). Bought an item C.O.D., paid cash (฿300) but had to return the item. The company put the amount of my return in a “wallet.” In order to use it I have to give them my banking/passport information. Nope, that’s why I chose C.O.D. Asked them to put a credit on my account to draw from. They said no. Various reasons given for the process - money laundering issues, policy changes. So I asked them to send me a check. Haven’t heard back yet. It’s a small amount, I know, but I paid cash and they’re sitting on it. They took my cash with no verification.
  10. I’m not a legal scholar, but doesn’t statute of limitations refer to chargeable crimes, not convictions? Thaksin was convicted so there’s no clock involved. Sentence would begin on his return unless some other intervention occurs.
  11. As for the “cold balls” lottery side note, there are many other examples of attempts at rigging - by weight, texture, magnets, etc. Google “Lottery rigging” and you’ll find plenty to read.
  12. Pity the Sign Language interpreter assigned to Kamala Harris! Harris speaks my language and I need an interpreter!
  13. Previously arrested in England for producing child porn. And sentenced to only 18 months after failing to appear and being on the run for 8 years? Just guessing here, but he probably continued his activities in Pattaya. Pretty sure he would have received a longer sentence in Thailand.
  14. Now that the country is re-opened to tourists, let’s dig it up. They had a couple of years with reduced traffic to pull this off.
  15. Why do they put “AMBULANCE” in English reversed on the front?
  16. Finally, a defense against those gold necklace snatchers!
  17. They’ve been closing some branches “due to Covid.” Branch at Big C Extra is closed with no signs indicating if it will re-open. ATM’s, Passbook machine and Deposit machines gone. One ATM remaining on ground floor..
  18. Why is the word Ambulance painted in reverse in English on the front? How many Thai drivers read English?
  19. Thailand - The Hub of Prognosticating Mathematics. How did they arrive at this goal? Something like, insert fraction, multiply by a cool number…
  20. I’m not a techie but have been advised to clear the browser cache to (sometimes) fix a problem. Apparently browsers hold on to certain data to pre-load pages to speed up processes.
  21. Reminded of an old joke: Man (to woman): Would you have sex with me for a million baht? Woman: Yes. Man: How about 100 baht? Woman: No, what do you think I am? Man: We’ve already established that. Now we’re haggling over price.
  22. On-line applications in Thailand have been iffy at best.
