  1. Or wring it's blxxdy neck!
  2. Be ethical and compare like for like..... why does one have to be puking at all? Only one would be a scofflaw!
  3. Yes, back below 4000 for me too, but accompanied by lower consumption with some cloudier weather.
  4. Nobody knows yet. Generally Thai laws and regulations have been geared towards and supportive of her getting her hands on all you are worth!
  5. That 800,000 baht would buy a nice 1st class, one way ticket, easily!
  6. 'The wife just died from a bad case of VD....' 'People don't die from VD' 'They do when they give it to me!'
  7. Well they are making a fair pretense of it and and quoting such numbers..... several months supposedly in a hospital and then a parole with nothing left hanging over him... is a result. The man might well be sick, it happens, but I don't see a reason for secrecy for it bar subterfuge.... he should have no expectation of privacy when in reality he should be in a jail.
  8. The 300 baht tourist tax will be resurrected.....
  9. We had quite a surge in Chinese interest near where I live some time ago, maybe 18 months.... they were all over and agents were asking me was I thinking to sell. One house went to them, another fell through, as the owner got pixxed off dealing with them. It could have been based on a factory being planned in the area though.
  10. And foreigners are often the victims as the locals take advantage... from the successful shop, faced with a huge rent increase and the landlord simply taking it over, to the soapy massage owner, told to fly home or else..... I am not sure I would go along with billions of baht being lost... some was made by the renovators and sign makers, but I was amazed at the number of cafes etc that sprung up based on rather soft and untried ground. Folly I suspect. Can a farm not simply turn to another crop?
  11. But I suspect not far enough... unless the job comes with strict threats of dismissal for any corruption, and of course acted upon, rather than the sideways moves or temporary desk job punishments.
  12. Yep, very reasonable to top my truck off the other day.
  13. I believe a Henna 'tattoo' is simply painted on...and Henna itself widely used for that purpose and the dying of hair, producing a ridiculous looking bright red colour on many Pakistani men. Wouldn't have thought it problematic unless a person was allergic to it.
  14. Could it not be offset by Chinese and Indian buyers?
  15. Reducing a few fuel prices and electricity cost is a step or two towards popularity
  16. Although he may require 'tax paid' certificates for those who have been here over 6 months.... and heading out!
  17. And on Jan 1st 2021 you would have got 30,0...it goes up and down... still a good deal at todays rates I think!
  18. I was going to cite 'Nong' in 'The Falang Bar' on soi Buakhao, who told me in broken English that she didn't want falang to learn Thai and integrate......but then I realized the guy asking for a verifiable source simply wanted to tell everyone he could speak Thai again!
  19. If you go to the PBS link it is substantiated more there.
  20. Bad comparison, Las Vegas, so we see a price without the taxes and tips included which will double it there!
  21. Glad it wasn't only me who thought that, way expensive for a slightly unit.... I thought the 10 year old one needed to be replaced...but fortunately got the old one repaired.. had to use ARC as my usual guy could not get the parts. It's predecessor, a Samsung, didn't last long at all, but it was quiet.
  22. Oh we haven't had this old chestnut for while.....
