  1. You don't think people dressing up in say police uniforms and getting up to no good is a problem? Or people impersonating monks?
  2. I guess pointing at where they were left lying around. Friday afternoon, everyone in a hurry to get off work?
  3. Then why are you involved and posting in a Pattaya topic?
  4. I do more clumsy and absent minded things these days in Pattaya... I had been struggling with road crossings anyhow, after an ankle injury caused by missing tiles on the pavement.... that injury was on the mend until Sunday when someone popped out of a doorway and yelled 'massage' in my ear, and I sidestepped into another hole due to a missing pavement tile. I need to buy a clown suit!
  5. He has been sentenced to 8 years in jail..... let him at least be treated similarly to others with a similar sentence. If there are reasons not to, like ill health, let it be dealt with openly.

    That looks a lot like the one I had, I thought it was a pretty good machine.
  7. No, they have to be strapped in the back in a child seat now, didn't you hear about it?
  8. Made to take a shower I heard!
  9. Too late, they all moved to the UK already!
  10. I was disturbed by what appeared to be rather hairy legs until you distracted me to her toes!
  11. Strong feelings of insecurity and nervousness Covering the groin area can also send a message of submissiveness, shyness, and innocence. Not sure about that!
  12. I had one a few months back when a fast moving motorcycle on the wrong side of the road was real close as I foolishly crossed between stationary vehicles......as one gets older it certainly gets harder. Don't trust crossings.....

    Yes I enjoyed my frothy freshly brewed morning coffee for many years..... even acquired the Saeco machine when I moved out of my rented house, as the landlord could not refund my deposit..... then it broke, and I discovered how much parts and a new one cost...... now a coffee is an enjoyment from one of the multitude of coffee shops when I am out shopping.
  14. So if we go from the 31st, to the 1st,,there is no change? Better brush up on my 30 days have September, April, June and November......
  15. So, do they all get this? Can I expect my Mrs to pay this month's electricity bill?
  16. Somewhat... but that too should cause him to slow down....
  17. Why all this hubris among the Expat/retiree community would be my question.... acting as if they are doing Thailand a big favour by living here! They do it for their own self interest I assure you...... You added a lot of embellishment that I never actually said.... I too spend approx 100k/month, maybe slightly under, it isn't so cheap to live well here nowadays.... but a tourist will spend more if he stayed 4 weeks.... they buy flights, pay hotels which I do not, eat out more, travel more. And this idea of Expats giving 800k foreign currency to hold is nonsense, it is in Thai baht for most, it is not given, it is banked, and for sure they will want it back! And many even duck that by using agents. I think a refundable single payment of 800kbaht for 20 years is as cheap a chips! A major reason for Expats living here is it is cheaper. to live than home.
  18. Hotels, transportation, entertainment, meals out... I know quite a lot of retirees, they are mostly economical in their habits. Not so many own houses.....
  19. I did too, but we would like to think one might slow for one of those also......
  20. I actually think it is likely the other way around,,, average 2 week millionaires spend a lot, retirees less so. Pre Covid it was being claimed the Chinese independent travelers were the ones who spent the most.
  21. Which in this case seem to be extremely well marked out.
