Re: Khao Tao Lake

Took my new 'Point & Shoot' to the lake today to give it a try - at least I'd be able to see what I was photographing. The carbuncle is starting to take a bit of shape but mini-constructions within the larger construction are happening. IMG_2229.jpg IMG_2231.jpg IMG_2238.jpg caller's 'Grand Entr...

Re: Superbru/HHF - Premier League Prediction 2023-24

I've somehow managed to creep ahead again. One thing that is sure, that would never have happened under the old IKTS rules. I'd have blown a few bankers and been scoring negative points by this stage. This Superbru version is nowhere near as complex as the original IKTS.

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax

A bit of nostalgia. I've been to one of Mrs BB's old passports, and there are a couple of 1,000฿ tickets still stapled in there.

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax

Oh really? Old age must be affecting the memory - I've completely forgotten the 500฿ tax.

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax

Was the 500฿ 'everybody' tax before or after the 1,000฿ 'Thai' tax? I remember paying the Thai tax (1990), but not the everybody tax.

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax

I don't remember that one, but I remember the 1,000฿ tariff for Thais leaving Thailand. I'd just given all of my remaining Baht to the Outlaws who had come to see us off. I was not too pleased.

Really??? :lach:

I'm sure the 300฿ tax will be spent very wisely to alleviate the problems :run:

Re: Thailand Air Quality and Pollution Alerts

Its amazing only people not in authority can see that. 9 times out of 10 there will also be a lot of workers in the field ensuring the burning stays under control.

Re: Thailand Air Quality and Pollution Alerts

Every year they tell us it is illegal, and they will clamp down on it. Every year I travel around, and I can see burning carrying on quite openly. Every year I don't see anybody making any attempt to stop it. If I can see it, why can't the authorities? They talk the talk, but nobody is actually inte...
