Plans for Thailand's first nuclear power plant
Joe Farang replied to george's topic in Thailand News
No need to worry. China will built the plant for them. But no one will sell them a reactor. Maybe it will get lost in translation and they will spend the budget on tractors. -

Tourists, Residents Panic As Fire Breaks Out At Pattaya High-Rise Condo

I believe the reason water sprinklers are no longer or rarely used is that they do more damage to peoples property than fires. -

Pattaya Officials Lead Coastal Cleanup at Cape Bali Hai
Joe Farang replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I remember about 15 or so years ago I was walking along Pattaya beach road. The day before there had been a big swell on the sea. Along the length of the beach on the waterline there was a pile of garbage washed up about 1.5 foot high and 3 or 4 foot in width. I remember watching one of the beach vendors trying to push it back into the sea with the back of a rake. -
New border checks for British UK to EU travel.
Joe Farang replied to Chomper Higgot's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
I went to Portugal earlier this year (Irish Passport). When heading towards immigration counters we were met by an IO asking where passport was from. 1 person had a UK Passport and he was directed towards a very long Q snaking around the terminal area. People in the Q were looking in our direction with long envious faces. There was about 20 ahead of me in the EU Q and we went through very quickly. I had kept an eye on the non EU Q and noticed that not 1 person had gone through in the time it took 20 EU Citizens to go through. I'd say people would have been stuck for hours in the Q. Any additions in time to process will be multiplied by the 100's or 1000's
