A pet peeve of mine is texting while driving. Hey, keep your attention on the road. Recently, Thai taxi driver was masturbating while driving and one of the uni girls in back managed to snap a pic.

I wonder if they would have been arrested at a land crossing?

What a great guy! I don't think that I've encountered anyone quite as enthusiastic as ET. Although I am not in Pattaya these days I will be lifting a glass in spirit tonight.

TC, do you happen to know which floor the Ploenchit Centre shop is on? Googling around, I see there are around 5 floors in the retail part of the building. Just have one day in Bangkok so might not be able to make it to MBK.

There seems to be some issues involving the sin sod.

RandiUno, are you still wearing your Dodger cap or are you now wearing a MCGA (Make California Great Again) cap? California was once great, and now great again because at Jamie's TGIRL Saturdays you can party like it's 1849!

This is great news as it makes it so much easier to get to Angeles from Manila Airport if one doesn't want to spring for a 2500 Piso car service! SM City is the mall that is about a 5 minute walk from the 7/11 by the jeepney station that has outdoor seating for a hundred people, right? This makes it much more likely for me to go to AC as I don't really like hanging out at the Victory Liner bus station in the wee hours with luggage. Thanks for the heads up Sydney John!

Reportedly the government will be launching an app called Taxi OK for Bangkok next month. Programing quality is important for taxi apps. The government's online 90 day reporting system is so bad that many people just give up and drag their ass to Immigration. If they coded from scratch it will suck. But if they partnered with an outfit that has an app for another city and just tinkered with the code perhaps it will work OK In Phnom Penh, Pass App Taxi works great for tuk tuks, with prices starting at 3000 riel (0.75 USD) so you avoid the dreaded negotiation. From the city to the airport the price was slightly less than 4 USD which is cheaper than you can bargain for on the street.

Thanks for the input guys! Turns out I'm not going to have much time to be travelling around, just a few hours on one day and would prefer if possible to shop in the Nana/Asoke area. Does Terminal 21 have shops where you can buy IT accessories at good prices or are there other places nearby?

Trump will be arriving in Manila today. There are protesters at the American embassy.

So which team won?

Is there an IT store in Bangkok similar to Tuk Com in Pattaya and if so what stop is it near on the BTS or MRT? Looking for a place to buy things like a battery for a specific smartphone and maybe some other things of that nature. Recall in the past guys talking about Panther Plaza?

DAVID WASSERMAN 8:02 PM Breaking: Danica Roem, a Democrat, has defeated 26-year Del. Bob Marshall, a Republican, in House District 13, becoming the first transgender person elected to Virginia’s state legislature. Robert E Lee must be rolling over in his grave.

I had to book a quick flight inside Thailand and is often the case I had trouble paying online both with a Thai debit card and American credit card. But both Thai Lion Air which flies out of Don Muang and Thai Smile which flies out of Suvanaphumi takes payment at 7/11 and the service fee is only 30 baht. Other airlines perhaps do this as well. When booking online with these airlines and you come to the payment page, choose the Counter option and you get to choose 7/11 or other places as the place to pay. The reservation holds for around 12 hours. If you don't pay in about 12 hours the reservation is cancelled. So it's also a handy way to lock in an attractive flight and still continue to check other flights. Thai Lion Air is an attractive option to Air Asia, low price, with 15 kilos of free checked luggage. Thai Smile allows you 20 kilos of free checked baggage.

Grab. Presidents do that these days. President Trump grabs them by the pussy. President Frank Underwood grabs them by the cock. Spacey just came out of the closet. House of Cards cancelled because hr grabbed cock but The Donald is still POTUS. Days after Netflix halted production on House of Cards in the wake of sexual harassment allegations against its star, eight people who work on the show have come forward to accuse Kevin Spacey of sexual harassment, and in one case, assault, CNN reports. The accusers allege that Spacey sexually harassed crew members routinely over the course of the show's six seasons. They claim Spacey's "predatory" behavior turned the set of House of Cards into a "toxic" environment, where young male staffers were frequently subjected to crude comments and touched inappropriately. One production assistant said Spacey sexually assaulted him during a car ride to the show's set outside Baltimore. Spacey, who was driving, allegedly put his hands down the PA's pants, an advance he described as nonconsensual. "I was in a state of shock," the PA told CNN. "He was a man in a very powerful position on the show, and I was someone very low on the totem pole and on the food chain there." Minutes later, after the two brought Spacey's stuff into the star's trailer, the actor allegedly cornered the PA and touched him inappropriately. The PA said he told Spacey he was uncomfortable, and the actor reportedly left the set for the rest of the day. Another crew member told CNN he was regularly subjected to Spacey's advances and crude comments. "He would put his hands on me in weird ways," the crew member told CNN. "He would come in and massage my shoulders from behind or put his hands around me or touch my stomach sometimes in weird ways that in normal everyday conversation would not be appropriate."

Here's a live stream of the Royal Cremation. On some devices you may be able to change the commentary language to English.

Bitcoin has broken the $5000 barrier. I should have bought some. Nice return since you posted TC!

Lodging is cheap and airfare is a big expense, so if it was me, I'd take as long a trip as possible so your original plan of one month would be preferable to 15-17 days IMO. The extra days if you dont have sex won't cost much but of course the sex is always available. If possible I'd do all of February instead of March as its cooler in February in Thailand and colder in Ireland but there is no bad time, really depends on your schedule at home.

Free. Iny case it is a very short announcement in Thai, no big deal at all. Think one of the advantages of the Premium is if you often are without WiFi because I think Premium let's you download and maybe once downloaded you don't need wifi. 8n my case I am very happy with the free version. I had often listened to YouTube for music when all I really wanted was the music not the video.

Mad Dog Mattis is in the Philippines attending the ASEAN Defense Ministers meeting. He then travels to Thailand to lead the USA delegation at the Royal Cremation.

The Disease Control Department has urged people to refrain from drinking alcoholic drinks for the five days of the Royal Cremation period to make merit for His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Doctor Suwannachai Wattanayingcharoenchai, director general of the department, sent a letter to the government’s Public Relations Department asking them to help get out a message discouraging people from drinking from October 25 to 29. The letter to the PR department’s director general, Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd, suggested the NBT channel run public service announcements discouraging drinking for the period. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30329828

Just downloaded Spotify and bought a JBL Bluetooth speaker and am extremely happy. Still getting the hang of Spotify but I'm liking most of the tunes on my Welcome Playlist. Do you guys use Spotify or another music app? UE and JBL speakers were recommended to me. Couldn't find UE so bought a JBL for 1290 baht. At Tukcom, think real products can be bought at the downstairs Apple reseller, the top floor IT City, the second floor King Power and the 3rd floor Banana store Otherwise it's just fake news such as copy Bose for 600 baht.

Super Rich Thailand in the entrance to the MRT station in the basement to of Suvanaphumi Airport offers outstanding rates. The difference between the Buy and Sell rate on a Benjamin is just 6 baht, about the price of a trip to the bog at a beer bar complex. The spread on a 100 Euro was 15 baht and 25 baht on 100 GBP. The Looney was not listed on the sign but at their nearby competitors just 20 baht on 100 CAD. The green Super Rich Thailand offered ever so slightly better rates than the others including the red Super Rich but that could be due to when the exchange rates were updated at each Kiosk so it is best to take a quick look at each booth which takes only a total of about a minute to find the best rate. To put this 6 baht in persoective, the major banks in the airport proper have a Buy-Ask spread of 200 baht on a hundred bucks, an egregious 6% ripoff. Super Rich closes at 22:00. I inquired if the always have USD available if changing in the other direction and she said they always have 100 dollar bills but not always smaller denominations. There are about 8 similar kiosks; it's possible that some specialize in certain currencies.

@ Scooters

It is.likely that bars will close at 23:59 on the 25th, be closed on the 26th, and reopen at 06:00 on the 27th. It is possible, though unlikely, that bars in some areas could close from the 25th to the 29th.
