This is why I’m considering cancelling my subscription to the Bangkok Post newspaper. This front page headline & story implies the protesters shut down the rail network in Bangkok. But that was ordered by the government. This bias by them is seen often #ม็อบ18ตุลา #Thailand

Please give a thought tonight to retired Thai Navy SEAL Saman Gunan who tragically died in the lead up to today’s successful rescue of four boys. He would have been so happy to have seen this day. Sir, your sacrifice won’t be forgotten. #ThamLuang #ถ้ำหลวง #Thailand #RIP

I never really understand why some people complain about a service that I provide for free. It’s not as if I’m getting paid to do it either. If they don’t like it, why not unfollow me? I also don’t understand why some people have so much hate in their heart. But I will continue.

The most remarkable story about the #ThamLuang rescue were the parents of the boys. Not once did they blame Coach Aek for what happened. On the contrary, they thanked him for looking after their boys. In some parts of the world he would have been lynched. Not in #Thailand .

When I go to Chiang Mai by sleeper train, I prefer to take the No.9 as it uses the newer Chinese made carriages and is more comfortable. The toilets are better and each berth has charging outlets/reading lights. 2nd Class is fine but you can charter a 1st Class cabin for ฿2,453.

Job done, three of the foreign divers are pictured here at Chiang Rai Airport heading home. They said they didn’t come to do interviews or to become famous. They just wanted to help find the boys. Photo by Ittaporn Kanacharoen. #ThamLuang #13 ชีวิตรอดแล้ว #ถ้ำหลวง #Thailand

This morning, the prime minister said it would be illegal for five or more people to gather in #Bangkok . This is the scene right now at Ratchaprasong where there are thousands of protesters who have come out in defiance of the government #15 ตุลาไปราชประสงค์ #ราชประสงค์ #Thailand

Is this really acting in accordance with the law and international standards? Firing rubber bullets at close range as a motorcyclist passes? This is #WhatsHappeningInThailand right now. Unbelievable #Bangkok #Thailand #ม็อบ20สิงหา

The Bangkok Post struck lucky late last night when a tweet about newsstand prices went viral. They had added the hashtags: #MewGulf #MewGulfDestinyWuv3Yrs #หวานใจมิวกลัฟ * On the back page of yesterday’s newspaper they had an advertisement about the 3rd Mew-Gulf anniversary.

This weekend, I’m taking a break from being at home all the time. This is my first trip away in the last three months. Anantara Hua Hin Resort kindly invited me to stay at their hotel. They follow me on social media and wanted to thank me for helping people during the pandemic.

Taxi drivers in #Bangkok are complaining about losing customers since the Yellow Line opened. But who's to blame? Who would choose a taxi driver who frequently refuses to take you where you want to go or even turn on the meter? In my opinion, the train is the best option. Agree?

Thank you ambassador. It was an honour to have been recognised in this way by the Queen for my small part in helping British nationals in #Thailand during times of crisis.

🌳 Sundays are family days and most Thai people head to the malls. But I’ve decided to do the opposite and head outside to open spaces. Over the next few Sundays, I will be visiting the best of the parks in #Bangkok and adding photos & GPS locations to this THREAD. Please enjoy.

Two new video clips have been released by the hospital of the #ThamLuang boys. They speak to the camera saying that they are in good health and what food they desire to eat. They also thank those that were worried about them & have been looking after them #ถ้ำหลวง #Thailand [1/2]

You would be surprised how much verbal abuse & complaints I get nearly every day. Yesterday, a complete stranger called me a moron. The other day, several people said I should be ashamed of myself. I know I’m far from perfect & do make mistakes, but I will continue doing my best.

This week, I’ve been getting a lot of requests to do interviews. So I would like to repeat my long standing rule that I don’t do interviews. Fame & fortune does not motivate me to do what I do. I’m inspired by my late father who was awarded an MBE for his lifetime volunteer work.
