What Pii Chon is up to you asking? Read below -

Godfather of Chonburi goes to jail… for now

Police were able to arrest fugitive Somchai Khunpluem after receiving a tip-off about two months ago that he was visiting Samitivej Hospital for medical treatment, an informed source claimed Wednesday.

The tip was later confirmed with the source adding that Somchai used the name Kim sae Tang when he consulted his doctors. The police investigation revealed he usually changed routes to and from the hospital to avoid police though he regularly used the motorway.
The source claimed the investigation showed Somchai has no passport, causing police to believe that he did not flee abroad but instead remained at his residence in Bang Saen, Chon Buri. It had earlier been speculated that Somchai had escaped to Cambodia.

What is the point of being in the underworld. have to hide here and there , even just for a medical treatment... pretty dumb i would say.

Hmmmm...for a moment, thought you referring to your own guppies (and post some terror pics) :p

Wastage in F&B is a headache. Right, you call the shots with marketing ...it's your money, he not feel pinch

PS: On business trip (quarterly thingy) in Bangers 17-19. Hope can skive over to shoot the breeze with you.:o

Ypres, think you can live comfortably with S$2.5k in LOS. Can even got tiny room for odd sampling of chiong scene. Jokes aside, locals even live on monthly thb10k (S$400). If ulu places (as some says here) say over Bkk ..stretch your dollar. Btw, thb rate is strong of late below 24 ...unlike 1 month ago 25, due to speculative capital inflows.

You can use stale bread to make ang mor dessert such as bread pudding. You can freeze bread too since looks like you usually serve them as toast - hard to tell the difference if you do it right.
