Re: A day of shame for Thailand.
So sad. She allowed herself to die to protest over a law which should have been repealed decades ago. Fearless and principled.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
For the spook fans Red Eye is very watchable if not very believable. Plenty of action and MI5, CIA and Chinese spies.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I really enjoyed Sharp Objects. A reporter returns to her small home town to write about two murders there, and uncovers her troubled past, even more so than she ever could have expected.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I watched two and a bit episodes of Wreck. It seems quite 'young adult' to me. The writing is very poor and the characters cardboard cutouts.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I think this season of Clarkson's Farm is the best so far. He's really a farmer now, albeit not a great one. I really feel his heart is in it. I'm happy he makes money from TV because all small-scale farming is fraught with disaster.

I enjoyed The Red King. Very, very The Wicker Man.

Re: Pranburi bar owner arrested for trafficking minors
This is a sad story and the tip of the iceberg. But nowhere in the article does it say that the girls were 'forced' to provide sexual services. Maybe too young to make their own informed choices and so lured into vice, is a better description based on what little information is given in the article.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I watched the first episode of The Regime. I would usually watch at least two episodes of a series before deciding if it's viewable, but didn't need to. It's leaden, crass and unfunny. Its writing is an insult to intelligence (I even enjoy Palm Royale for heaven's sake). Just a heads up.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I didn't warm to Shardlake until the second episode was well underway but the series was good I think, though I'm no usual watcher of the medieval detective genre. I often have problems with colour-blind casting especially in historical settings but I have no serious complaint here, except to say th...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
OK, so try Deep State maybe, although perhaps they aren't following the CIA and MI6 handbooks correctly! The US are trying to destabilise Mali to force a US base onto the country. Two years on and two MI6 officers are involved for a personal agenda and upset plans. Half way in and I'm finding it enj...

Re: 30฿ Healthcare - National Registration
This isn’t new is it - my wife has been covered for as long as I’ve known her? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Respectfully he didn't say it's new, he said taking new registrations! I wonder if there are queues, given that most poor Thais I know are already registered. PS - see that BB has menti...

Re: Fitbit or similar worn health smart devices
Sadly there's only me in my house as of last year. The function I like is the cardiovascular check, arterial monitoring, even can different between say a problem with right arm/leg over left, but I won't pay to have it imported!
