Got the regular "mai mee" in MV when asking about POCO phones. Even though it is the same company, the Xiaomi shop doesn't sell them so ordered online through the official store on Laz. Impressive that you can get 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage on a mid-range phone as standard these da...

The Rockzone's band "The Answer" was rocking with some great Led Zep covers last night.

Looks like there is a big rock music concert planned for June 1 in Paknampran also ... some big names there ...

Songkran confusion has tourism promoters red-faced The sight of a bewildered Chinese tourist in full Songkran regalia — floral shirt and water gun — has put the government on the defensive, as it seeks to clarify that the main water-splashing festival will take place for three days and not three we...
