bbg I am more concerned about what's happening where I live, but this forum is mainly about what is happening in los, and we are interested in that too. Those of us who don't live there hear little or nothing about what is happening in Thailand in our media. ps I only recently learned how to do screenshots and edit them, so I might have got a bit carried away! If I work out how to do copy & paste I might have to practice that too!

It seems from this article that he may well claim 'self defence' at his trial https://www.pattayamail.com/news/irishman-meth-head-held-for-killing-pattaya-woman-297752

A couple of coronavirus/alcohol ban related articles from today's Pattaya Mail. I'll only post the links in deference to DC and bbg (but if they don't work I might have to post screenshots of the reports! ). https://www.pattayamail.com/coronavirus/with-no-beer-in-pattaya-german-faces-ugly-prospect-of-drinking-water-297787 https://www.pattayamail.com/news/thailand-will-lift-alcohol-sales-ban-on-sunday-may-3-297814 edit: links do work, so saves me doing screenshots!

Oy! bbg is going to tell you off for posting links to news articles! And for taking my job!

In UK when the lockdown restrictions were announced the Government said that those who had to stay at home were only allowed to go out for exercise, medication or essential (food) supplies. One overzealous police officer tweeted that people's shopping could be searched for 'non-essential' items like alcohol and cigarettes. There was an outcry about that and the Government advice was clarified to say that if people went out to buy food they could also purchase anything else that was sold on that premises. Off licenses which only sell alcohol and alcohol related stuff like mixers are shut, but you can buy alcohol in shops or supermarkets that sell food. So if I go out to buy some alcohol I buy some food items too.

I like human stories. I know we can all imagine what is happening, but it makes it more real to read actual individual people's stories.

It's ok your thread has a fuller story and pics.

I think the point was that apart from fluffy lap dogs there were live animals like fish and chickens being sold for food alongside wild animals like lizards, frogs and parrots which could transmit infectious diseases which could then be passed on to humans.

I hope he gets to spend the rest of his wretched life in a Thai jail. Bastard.

Apologies to DC for posting another copied article - it's screenshots not cut & paste as I don't know how to do that. I put in the screenshots because when I just post link it often doesn't work. But I think we need to be aware of what is happening, most of us are not in los, and are interested to read reports. It's about a gg bargirl but reflects the sadness of the lb and gg bargirls and others trapped in Pattaya now. https://www.pattayamail.com/coronavirus/pattaya-bargirls-fairytale-cut-short-by-coronavirus-297716

Poor girl. RIP.

And Covid 19 has killed more Americans in three months than during the entire Vietnam War, which people did worry about https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8267277/More-Americans-killed-COVID-19-three-months-entire-Vietnam-War.html

China's coronavirus figures are not inaccurate

There was a report on the 'wet market' in Bangkok on Channel 4 News last night

Best Wishes to Captain Tom on his 100th birthday today. His fundraising for NHS charities has now reached over £30 million.

Well it means you have more time on your hands to post! As do we all locked down in our abodes around the globe.

Good to see you on here Jimbo! I hope all is as well as it can be in the present circumstances with you.

Sweden doesn't seem to be doing well compared to other Nordic countries
