  1. Bloody heaved it down North of Pattaya about 3am today......my bathroom was being lit up like New Years Eve!
  2. Absolutely... it frequently kills, also blinds and causes a lot of suffering. To trivialize this incident in as much as saying 'well in this case she did not die.' (due to her own awareness) is disingenuous... turning a blind eye toward life threatening ineptitude.
  3. Would that include the 6 million who died from it too?
  4. The vehicles won't need rails by the time that is completed, we can go straight to The Jetsons!
  5. Yes, you would expect them to get turfed out, must be a local thing, they do not like to interfere with another's earning methods! I recall one English bar owner had a line they were not allowed to step over, unless a customer wanted to look more closely at what they were selling. The little kids with a tray of candies and gum would give you the big sad eyes as far back as the 1980s. and maybe your Zippo would vanish,
  6. And I think there is a likelihood that the tabs were 'legit', (as far as they can be), and the guy was distracted, enjoying himself too much, and the final total came as a shock. I believe watching tabs is a good move.... an error can be corrected if spotted immediately. Had it done, have had LDs removed. Arguing over it 10 drinks later isn't going to fly!
  7. They do round them up now and again.... but one gets an impression they are soon back on the street. Perhaps with a need to re-earn the money they just had to pay over.......
  8. I see Wise will limit you to that (per transaction) and less to SCB!
  9. Don't let the door hit you on the .........
  10. Yes it did..... spread it around and between banks not accounts.
  11. Quite a few inside did not have any idea until recently. I must be living in a bubble.
  12. I am not sure it is to be expected a linear conversion between risk and interest return......Thailand's banking system probably differs and do they carry a security guarantee of mil baht equivalent in Vietnam and Cambodia? I might feel safer depositing there if I lived there though.
  13. Very much so, many have. Visa Exempt is purely for tourists which you appear not to be.
  14. You see, I always have to fill that in from the drop down, as well as the 'arrived in Thailand' date! Shouldn't complain, beats traipsing all the way to Jomtien and the aggravation there!
  15. Higher rates usually mean higher risk. It might indicate desperation but I will not be sending money to either of those countries... Thailand I do.
  16. Moreso than wars in Sudan and Ukraine and lost submersibles 2 miles under the sea.
  17. Yes they are back.... I was worried by a convoy of 3 passing me real close (I was on my scooter) using the Railway Line Bypass only yesterday!
  18. Nobody got beat up by security, nor robbed of a gold chain, so yes it is. Haven't been out for a good while so not been irritated by these hawkers myself.
  19. Thanks... I can never remember if I need to look for UK, or British, and by next month have completely forgotten what is right. Printed out the approval sheet this morning and set the reminder for September in my calendar!
