I recently went to use my Rabbit card and was told it needed renewing. I protested (politely) that it was barely a year since I renewed it after it's 7 year validity expired. "Oh, it's all changed now -- renewal is annually". Oh shit I thought, I'd renewed my passport since then and NEVER carry the original with me. Luckily I had tatty B/W copies of new and old with me --- and they sufficed. This was at Saphan Thaksin skytrain station. I've recently read that 'soon' all ticketing will be combined skytrain/subway/busses and only via a phone app. No more physical tickets! But then, how many years have I been reading this in the local press?

There are fare more amusing fantasy tales on this board. Some even involve posters with non hairy arses.

or the Australian system teaching their students punctuation, eh O.D.?

I first visited Chiang Mai 25+ years ago. Lots to do but SO FAR apart. I used to love the bars in the basement of the Night Bazaar, then they moved to Sleaze Alley opposite the back door of the Bazaar. Close to them, were the beer bars around the Climbing Frame. I haven't been for about ten years but I imagine they have all gone now. I see from the excellent and professional advertising that Adams Apple is still flourishing but so difficult to get to. Really good shows and attention from mountain boys. Also some nights at their bar/guesthouse opposite (and their huge dog 'big boy'). I must also mention the best show bar and shows I've seen in 30 years in Thailand --- JAM PUB. In a soi opposite Night Bazaar a few gay bier bars around there too). Not 100% gay but very gay friendly. Then at closing time through a dressing room door that led to a VERY late bar. I have a bad feeling that the owners of both bars have recently died. I fear that if I go up again (I live in central Bangkok) I will be as disappointed as I would be if I went back to my European home towns. P.S. Sorry about any typos ---the cat is fighting me for the keyboard -- and winning.

And how did that go?

He certainly has a problem with apostrophes

Does an actor portraying Hitler have to be an evil murdering dictator?

It's an image that they are made to show. For some reason Korean girl fans love it.

Innocent until proved dead.

He can't what?

Very possibly a-47. It could also have been a long lost bar in Saphan Kwai where they dressed as Red Indians (sorry, native Americans).

And the relevance to a Thailand oriented audience?

I thought they wore flaps at Krazy..

Surety that's the matrons job.
