The Malaysia always used to have a luggage room, but it's a while since I've stayed there.

... except in France, where they reverse the order ...

I've experienced that on Srilankan Airlines.

I'm mildly surprised ... that the Thai mafia have allowed a foreign mafia to take over their territory so easily. In a patronage-based society where networking is everything, I'd expect the incumbents to have a huge advantage.

Or a new (or previous) location?

Judge for yourself. I think it's here but I could be wrong.

Indeed they are both adverbs, but I think you'll find he's counting the number of V's, not assigning a grammatical gender. Back on topic, that's the first time I've seen 8 acres of southeast Asian trees described as a "forest".

Sure, but for me better still is one bar with many boys, interacting with each other and the customers (and not their phones!) Statistically you have a better opportunity to find that "one boy" and the atmosphere is so much better while you're waiting for him to appear.

Nobody seems to have answered this part 😋

Yes.

I haven't suggested otherwise. I was replying to @Keithambrose's question "Without touching the overhead wire? " which referred to @Thomas_88's statement "if you're close to an overhead line, you can be electrocuted, even when you don't touch the overhead lines." which is true.

Yes, if you get close enough to trigger a flashover. Also, it's not just the wire, some of the metalwork on top of the train may also be at the supply voltage, and depending on the system you could be dealing with anything up to 25 kilovolts.

"Start 15 February 2024" if you believe the caption.

That's an improvement. When I stayed in Old Sukhotai many years ago I was shocked 😵 to discover there was no night market. So where to eat? Fortunately my nose led me to an unmarked shophouse where a lady was making takeaway meals for local customers. She cooked me something quite pleasant but clearly toned down for the Western palate. She asked how I liked it and I managed to convey that I could have handled more spices, so she immediately made a repeat order with the proper degree of heat. From starvation to very satisfactory overeating 😋 ...

Something else to keep is your checked baggage receipt. Some countries actually check that the bag you take away from the airport is the one you checked in. And if it never emerges from the carousel, that bit of paper may be the only proof that the bag existed.

Or talk to your pharmacist. They should know, maybe better than the doctor, about possible interactions. And, in the UK at least, are much more accessible ☹️

An article here about the hotel's history: https://www.khaosodenglish.com/life/arts/2017/11/24/salute-50-years-late-nights-bangkoks-malaysia-hotel/

Would that have been Malee, my usual breakfast stop when I stayed in the Malaysia? Owned by US/Thai couple Peter and Golf, photos on the walls of their many VIP guests. When they first opened, the BiB sent an officer round to negotiate their tea money, but they introduced him to Golf's cousin, whose Army uniform had a lot of brass on it. After that they had no problems 😉

But he might have been aware of the Reverend Richard Coles, who these days is a British "National Treasure" ?

FWIW Herts, Leics, Lincs, Mons, Notts, Staffs, Warks are all formal contractions of county names, only used in writing, and not even slightly cute. Likewise Hants, Northants, Oxon and Salop. You won't hear them used in colloquial spoken British English. Plenty of British towns and cities get nicknames, but I'm not aware of any that do it by adding an S , so I think you need to look elsewhere to explain "Pats", "Patts" or even (ugh!) "Patters".

So you won't be shortening "กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลก ภพนพรัตน์ ราชธานีบุรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์ มหาสถาน อมรพิมาน อวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะ วิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์" next time you visit? 😄

Or triathlon...

Thanks. I now see my problem, which isn't colour vision. The map location is clear enough, but Google's interpretation of it may depend on who you are, or something in your search history. When I followed @floridarob's link, Google tried to take me to "Fortune Pharmacy" which I now see is the shop next door, but for reasons known only to Google, it actually centred the map on a completely different pharmacy. Here is where it should have gone.
