Re: Online Ordering - a sign of the times?
I use Aliexpress regularly to buy tooling for my hobby shop. It works very well for me and you have the benefit that Aliexpress does not pay the supplier until you confirm delivery of the goods and satisfaction.

I pass the development regularly and you see no significant traffic joining or leaving the place. As was pointed out already, it looks like a ghost town with only the tumbleweed m...

Re: Police launch campaign to improve Pattaya's sex-tainted image
We should congratulate the Pattaya police on an excellent example of non racial policing and protecting the jobs of, the alleged 27,000 Thai sex workers in the city. All's well that ends well with a happy ending!
