That is the normal standard of spelling in The Guardian!

Re: Best long stay condo deals?

Baan Khun Por, on soi 88 is clean, with a very good food court and live music (also many girls go there!), and within 10 minutes walk of soi 80, if you are moderately active. Binthabat a further 10 minutes. I think condo rate for 3 months is about 5,500/month, but not sure. www.bkp-hotel.com. On soi...

Re: Electrical installation advice.

I suggest you look at this site, http://www.crossy.co.uk/wiring/index.html.

It is written by an English electrician living here, and is very informative and clear.

Re: PM urged to retract the silly media rules

The questions were quite valid. When it was Myanmar's turn for the chair some years ago, other member nations wanted the chair to pass by Myanmar as it was led by a military junta. Myanmar duly passed the chair. Prayut is duty bound to 'pass the parcel' also for the same reason but of course he'll ...

Re: First execution for 9 years in Thailand

Why keeping those people in jail and spend money for nothing ? Better get rid of them. I've no idea what the corresponding costs in Thailand are but in the US "the average trial and incarceration costs of [a] murder case that results in a death penalty are almost double those in a murder case ...

1 a day, 2 years to clear the backlog.
Then start on the corrupt politicians and civil servants!

New Mexican Restaurant

There is a new Mexican restaurant opened on soi 88, a bit before the Law Court on the left hand side going up the hill. Called "Cantina". Usual Mex food, enchilladas, burritos, nachos etc. Nice big place, friendly owner (Australian), open every day until at least 10pm. A welcome addition t...

Re: Isle Of Man TT

ITV4 are also showing the Irish Road Races and Southern100.
Th first two races, Cookstown and Tandragee, are still available to watch on their catch-up.
Even better than the TT!

Re: Hua Hin police to get tough on motorbike helmets

If you think it's bad now wait until more big bikes are on the road. I see that Honda, Kawasaki and Ducati have show rooms between Hua Hin and Cha Am. What is bad about that? People who ride what you call “big bikes” are very likely to use crash helmets as they are more knowledgable about riding mo...

Re: Bangkok Post editor removed from role

Caller, I disagree with you on this issue, but as neither of us have any say in the running of this Country let us agree to differ.

There are more important things to worry about - like the price of wine here!

Re: Bangkok Post editor removed from role

Caller you wrote: "Ah, so you're one of the trolls that plague the comments section of BP!" I have never commented on BP, so try again with your attempted slurs. Prayut is trying to fix the problems, but he is one man, and corruption is very deeply-rooted here. I think he should have start...

Re: Bangkok Post editor removed from role

Norseman, the fact that you are allowed to call Prayut a "moron", (which is a lie), would seem to show that there is some press freedom. Umesh Pandy has repeatedly shown a lot of anti-government bias in the Bangkok Post, with never any criticism of Pheu Thai. Perhaps the newspaper can now ...
