Thaiger Talk Quiz #242 - Ubon Ratchathani
And when you are on a very tight budget, the 21 Ratchabutr Hostel - actually more a home-stay - is also worth considering. It is located in the 'old town' of Ubon, 100 meter from the Mun river (with bars/restaurants with river-view), 50 meter from the local market, and approx 150 meter from the main Ubon town square (Thung Si Muang). In short > the best possible location to discover Ubon (the home-stay also rents scooters to its guests). > https://www.booking.com/hotel/th/28-ratchabutr-home-stay.th.html? -

News Forum - New Zealanders in hot water after assaulting Thai officer in Phuket
One of the tourists panicked and overreacted to an angry cop bellowing at them in either broken English or a language he didn’t understand while reaching for his gun. He nullified a perceived threat to their lives because he was scared. He didn’t shoot the cop, he disarmed him. They didn’t run away, they waited for more cops to arrive and went peacefully. -

News Forum - Thai consulate issues warning after measles outbreak in Osaka
But if you are infected, it can add a layer of protection for others, which has been the claim all along, and just misconstrued by many, and is recommended as such, by the US CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/guidelines/measles/index.html- 1

News Forum - Brew-haha: Thai man fined for boozing outside convenience store
I reviewed the Alcohol Beverage Control Act for a compliance assessment some years ago. A few observations: 1. More than half of the document explains who can monitor, enforce and interpret the act, how they are selected and replaced and who they report to. It's a three-ring circus. 2. As with many Thai laws, there are very, very specific provisions and then (typically at the end of a list), a very convenient "other" category. In regards to the man's online query, he is questioning which of the specific provisions he has violated. In a nutshell the seven places listed are temples, hospitals, schools, government offices, public parks, gas stations and "other", i.e. "other places notified by the Minister with advice of the committee". I'd say our friend the 7-11 boozer has violated Section 31, Sub-section 7, which is nice and muddy. Mind you, this law doesn't seem to apply to people getting plastered in front of the 7-11 on Sukhukvit soi 16. Nice and consistent then.- 1
