Didn't Central Marina appear between Harbor and T21?

Unfortunately, circumstances are such that I had to go for the one FEWER day option. 😥

Yes, it is possible, that's why they quote a "selling" rate. Obviously, it will depend on whether they have the currency in stock, though. You might need to give them some notice.

Surely you can simply put them on an external drive?

I had a 'phone call from EVA this afternoon to say that my flight from BKK to LHR on 19 May has been cancelled. I accepted the option of 18 May. I pressed them as to the reason for the cancellation, and was told it is for maintenance. I find that surprising, and am wondering if EVA is consolidating again.

.... or possibly because it wasn't funny!

Worst drought in four decades looms https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1829304/keeping-taps-from-running-dry Thailand has been battling seasonal drought for decades, but this year, the Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) is worried the water shortage may get out of hand because of the potential for conflicts in drought-stricken areas. > > > Bangkok is also expected to launch a number of short-term measures to deal with the water shortage, including the deployment of extra tanks to drought-hit areas and the drilling of wells for groundwater extraction. Despite these measures, this year's drought is expected to be much more severe according to the Thai Meteorological Department's (TMD), this year's drought will be the worst in four decades. According to Mr Somkiat, this year's drought is caused by the same weather pattern that caused less-than-average precipitation to fall across Thailand last year. Last year's storms brought heavy rainfall to some areas, but it wasn't enough to replenish the four major dams which supply millions of people along the Chao Phraya river basin with water, he said. Precipitation dropped by about 30-40% and as a result, there are only enough water in Tak's Bhumibol dam, Uttaradit's Sirikit dam, Phitsanulok's Kwai Noi Bamrung Dan dam and Lop Buri's Pasak Jolasid dam to supply water for household consumption only. The Central region will be hardest hit this year, especially the 22 provinces along the Chao Phraya river basin.

Were you late doing this report?

Wot Yogi said. And if I remember correctly, Reagan was treated in the same way.

After clocking an 8 percent rise this year, Asia’s best-performing currency is losing momentum as easing United States-China trade tensions damp its appeal as a haven. Falling yields on local bonds and equity outflows are adding to the pressure. The baht has defied the broad weakness in regional currencies as investors sought refuge in Thailand’s safe but low-yielding debt. A hefty current account surplus and a sizeable pile of foreign reserves helped reel in global funds. But, the tide has started to turn. The baht has climbed just 0.1 percent in December, making it the region’s worst-performing currency. It has dropped 0.2 percent to around 30.2 per US dollar since rallying to the strongest in more than six years in October. The baht may continue this underperformance if US-China trade relations improve further as Bloomberg’s analysis of 19 emerging-market currencies shows it’s among those that are least responsive to the yuan’s move. The baht’s retreat in December came as the central bank lowered its economic growth forecasts, citing global risks. November trade data due Monday may confirm the slowing trend, with the nation forecast to have recorded its first trade deficit since April as both exports and imports shrank. The baht is expected to decline 1 percent to 30.5 per US dollar by end-2020, a performance that would put it behind all but three of its Asian peers, according to a Bloomberg survey of analysts. If Thailand’s growth weakens, this could fuel further selling in Thai stocks and weigh on the baht. The 12-month foreign outflow from domestic equities is already above the five-year average.

Ugh????

https://www.pattayamail.com/featured/facing-drought-people-urged-to-conserve-water-281217 Facing drought, people urged to conserve water By Jetsada Homklin -December 21, 2019 The Provincial Waterworks Authority urged Pattaya residents to conserve water amid the threat of shortages next year. PWA Pattaya Manager Sutat Nutchpan said Dec. 19 that water volumes in the Mabprachan and Huay Chak Nok reservoirs have decreased steadily, forcing the utility to slow tap-water production. In October, the PWA said Pattaya could face its greatest water shortage in more than five years due to low levels in Chonburi reservoirs feeding the city. Sutat said residents should reuse water where possible, such as using laundry and dish-washing water to water plants or even for daily showers. He said water meters should also be checked and trees – natural sources of water retention – should be preserved.
