  1. Makes no sense at all. Just yesterday reporting a possible 300 Baht fee due to too many tourists and today, concerns about the low season (that happens every year). Surprised to see an advert for a cold brew beer at the top of the page. Such ads are not allowed are they?
  2. I know that these items sometimes like to use play-on-words, but quite often I don't get it. What is an unexpected cluck? Also ducks quack, not cluck! Huh?? what is a sunny-side-up increase ?
  3. Did you miss what happened on the 7th of October last year? You don't think that it was hateful, murdering Muslim savages that attacked Israeli citizens? The Palestinians started the war and what did they expect Israel to do? Slap their hands and ask them not to do it again?
  4. If a savage muslim converts to Christianity, Buddhism Hinduism etc, they will probably still be a savage!
  5. Unless you know for sure that the meat is fresh, I think that it is best to always assume that it has been frozen and thawed. Chicken I will cook the same day as I buy it or after 1 day maximum in the fridge. Pork, I will allow 2 days max in the fridge. Beef can stay in the fridge for 4 days. I will always check the smell and dump anything dubious. It is just not worth the risk. Some places, I will never buy meat from due to the smell. Tesco no longer have a presence in Thailand, so i can say that I would not buy meat in some of their supermarkets due to the stink at the meat section!
  6. Waking up on a winter morning with ice on the inside of the windows. Oldest first to use the bath water, youngest last. Easter eggs with the chocolate so thick that you needed to smash it with a hammer or something heavy. Simple gifts for Christmas and we were grateful for whatever we got. Walking (or bicycling) to school from 5 years old with no adult. Listening to radio Caroline and other pirate radio. Recording Pick of the Pops on cassettes. "Oi'll give it foive".(Janice Nicholls) Tea made in a teapot with tea leaves. Running to stand on the bridge as a steam train went under.
  7. There is absolutely no reason to be embarrassed to admit that you are British. His actions were not due to him being British but because he is a total Pratt! I wish that many people on here would realise that certain behavior has nothing to do with whatever nationality the person may be. I think that you would probably find that a very low percentage of Brits would consider it acceptable to stroll naked on a Thai beach.
  8. I think that you are probably confusing them with whitefly larvae that you find on the underside of leaves or aphids that you tend to find on stems.
  9. My most recent will was done by a lawyer and although very simple, cost 6,000 Baht. My previous will (about 12/14 years ago) was done at the Amphur and cost 100 Baht, simple and quick. The fellow in the Amphur office actually drew up the will according to my instructions. The important thing is that i had to give my instructions in Thai as he wanted to be absolutely sure that I completely understood what I was signing. I think that you will find that different amphurs and different officers may have different requirements, so it is best to visit your local amphur to enquire.
  10. Somebody could be walking and fall down a sinkhole. Could have been in a car and sunk in the water and drowned!
  11. Very rarely, I read a report where someone walks away relatively unscathed from a bad crash and the credit their "miraculous escape" to some amulet or similar. I've yet to see a single report where they state that somebody died in an accident despite having amulets in the vehicle. This suggests that survival is just a matter of chance and nothing to do with any amulets! However, the vast majority of vehicles in Thailand have amulets and monks' daubing. In other countries, hardly any vehicles have such "protection", yet there are much fewer road deaths than in Thailand! So, statistically, this means that if you have a magical amulet in your vehicle, you are more likely to die than if you don't!
  12. Usually at no cost? I would think that they are rarely issued for free. I got one this year and 2 years ago at Khon Kaen and both times they cost 500 Baht each! No receipt - of course!
  13. Are you referring to the owner? The owner is a woman. I don't know why but it always seems worse to me when these young girls are exploited by females.
  14. It may have been a good idea to show the finished hairstyle. That just looks odd and does not resemble a forest fire at all!
