Search engines search the internet, here in Thailand many businesses do not have websites so would not be picked up in the searches, it seems most business here use Facebook to promote their business. As a business you need to post and promote on the main social media platforms on a constant basis so that social media algorithms will pick up new content which will then hopefully appear. Best results on social media are paid for adverts by businesses which will then reach a mass audience. Going back to the internet, if you are a business then doing a free business listing on Google will work well and show on local searches. At the end of the day if businesses do not list themselves and their products on the internet and update constantly, you will not find them.

Happy for you, we all have differant experinces

Exercise will be good for health, reduce the portions that you eat. You can cut out things like white bread, butter and fattie products and reduce beer intake.

Kaiskorn Bank, very good, no problems in 7 years, like you I was once with BB, a waste of time

drill through the hard drives, there is no way that anyone can have access to the info. This is about the best solution

What western interference are you referring to? Pre-Russian invasion or post Russian invasion? please show examples. I do believe we do not all "choose this as the hill to die on" so a rather dramatic comment. "Evil political extremists fond of the German military of the 30's" that could apply to many far-right wing groups or Nationalists to be found in many countries, could even be applied to the groups who stormed the USA capital. So, nothing unique there. Trumps term? What about the media rumours about incriminating photos of Trump and stories of golden showers? Maybe some unanswered questions there on why Trump loves Putin and believes what Putin says compared to what his own advisors say. Am sure Trump was playing the long game for his future business. "Walking softly with a big stick, while encouraging negotiation and understanding” has not worked, it has been seen as a sign of weakness by Russia, Russia only recognises strength and people who know Putin and know Russia and have experienced living under Russia rule know this. There is a very good interview with the president of Lithuania and how they knew Russia would be back after their independence and the other Baltic states know this as well from their personal experience with Russia. There is only so much one can take before they have to say stop and stand up to a bully, rolling over and playing dead will not work as you will still get kicked. I agree that "any unwelcome interference in other foreign nations is unacceptable" saying that we all know that every country meddles in another country’s affairs, so what do you do? Turn a blind eye or protest/fight back? We are very lucky in life if we live in a country that allows us to have freedom of speech (yes I know it can be limited) and we should aim to keep that freedom because once you have lost it and live under a rule where you dare not say anything because the chances of you disappearing the next day, then you will appreciate freedom and democracy.

Do you understand the full background to this war? I suspect the answer is no

Brother Laser printers are very good, cheap to buy, they get you on the toner (ink) when you need to buy a new one. Saying that I normally buy non-branded toners which cost around 300 bhat. Clean inside when replacing the toner cartridge for dust an powder from the toner. Apart from that they are normally trouble free and better than Ink printers

so what happens for western people who live here on retirement ? Do we get charged as tourists?

what a load of rubbish,

Day Shift, light comedy Will Trent TV series very good crime show

No need to set up wise, you get them to send to your Thai bank account. Simple as that

Have been watching the following Slow Horses UK (UK MI5 agents, good action and funny) 1923 (spin off from Yellowstone) The Peripheral (Si Fi) Glass Onion (who don’t it murder mystery) Tulsa King (gangster series by the creator of Yellowstone) Jack Ryan (latest TV series of Tom Clancy’s books) The Recruit (bumbling lawyer for the CIA) Yellowstone (modern day cowboys, but am getting a bit bored with the latest installment)

"Over one million books" and the population of Thailand is around 70million? Not a good percentage, also it would have been interesting to know what the titles of the top 20 books were.

The crazy thing is he was only fined a small amount then told to leave Thailand. Should have been whipped, fined thousands of Euros and placed in jail until paid then deported and placed on a blacklist so he could not come back. Also details placed on an International sex offenders list

"In recent years" do you mean since the the 70s when american army use to come to Pataya?

Remember to check all the notes to ensure there are no rips, pen marks etc... Otherwise the large bundle of cash will be a lot lighter. Was surprised in Vietnam last week, the exchange took out an eraser and removed the pen marks off two UK bank notes, the joy of polymer notes.

some interesting info on Suvarnabhumi airport https://www.bangkokairportonline.com/suvarnabhumi-airport-quick-facts/

Yes no problems, I flew in from the UK in July, they did not ask for covid passport, or medical insurance. I wore a mask on the plane, better safe than sorry. Also flew in and out of Vietnam last week to Thailand, no checks, had to wear mask on the plane Airasia,

I use Wise every month here in Thailand, have used them for many years. Monday to Friday it takes only a few seconds to a few minutes. Adviod Saturday and Sunday as you will not get the money until the following Monday. Also watch out for public holidays in the UK and Thailand as this will delay your money arriving until the next business working day.

Only down side online is the number of fake products or when you buy something they send you a dish cloth, Lazada did rewfund my money, also a friend purchased 5,000 bhat part for the wasjing machine, he recived four pensils, once again Lazada refunded the money. I think these scams work on a percentage of people not trying to get the money back
