  1. I can believe that, I was in Riyadh in the early 80s and it was the wild west. Loads of crazy roundabouts I recall!
  2. I wonder how long they had to sit on him before they could get the police to come and take him! Many claim to have reported crime and criminals to police and been met with disinterest. I do hope he isn't back on the streets.
  3. Well some would say one had hardly lived had they not awoken late and suffering the hangover paranoia and half remembered embarrassing events and a need to check ones belongings. Others might say they had a drinking problem.... At my current age many faint memories are far from trophies!
  4. I feel similar... I want them further isolated. Not only bringing abject misery to the people in Ukraine, but they have brought the fear of nuclear war back to the world, not seen since the Cuban missile crisis. Their actions (or lack of others reactions) also seem to have emboldened China in their belief they own everywhere. Now we got them strutting shirtless all over the eastern seaboard and places south! And Thailand applauds them in like liberators!
  5. Cold you perhaps post a Google Maps link and we will get on with it straight away!
  6. Yes, it is called screening! I am sure a lot of women who had early diagnosis of breast or cervical cancer were glad of it! Some folks do talk nonsense!
  7. So what we are saying is his actions were a crime and worth pursuing with much effort by Pattaya plod. What she did, wasn't! I wonder if she left him something to remember her by!
  8. This is not the time of year to see it at its best.... packed with tourists, the locals reveling in making money and greed abounding. You may be ready for a move out to the darkside, or heaven forbid, off to Nakhon Nowhere village.
  9. I believe it was.... not certain though. Take Mrs unless you are confident in Thai.... or get her to go ask...(If you have one that is).
  10. In reality, it is how it all started in 2020, Chinese returning to Northern Italy after being home for their New Year.
  11. Just turning up at Pattaya City in the morning was what i heard a few weeks back....
  12. Good point..... this Western Xenophobia we get here from locals and make believe ones is so prevalent.
  13. They were freely available in Pattaya and probably Bangkok... I did hear tough to find rural. Not seen any Omicron updated ones, that is true. I don't think any Western tourists are interested in their vaccinations, so we know who this is aimed at.
  14. Thailand and Thais are often sitting around waiting on some windfall!
  15. But mores than Jerry, Sam and John I guess which is what they are called from day one. Surely you find some of the local given names a mouthful... I am often surprised to see real Thai names on F.B or such, when I know them by some simple syllable.. that looks nothing like their given spelling challenge. .
  16. I buy some of the brands mentioned here, usually from Oz or Nz that are of a similar taste to UK ones, Branston too. But I avoid anything that might come from some questionable factory in India or Bangladesh... no concept of hygiene, and odd tasting.
  17. Not just in Thailand.... watching the UK news and shoppers were being let into Boxing Day sales and half of them had their phones raised recording heaven knows what for nobodies to watch!
  18. Just a soft bodied pedestrian to hit, who likely will dive out of the way, at a pedestrian crossing, at traffic lights it is a cement mixer who certainly won't.
  19. Just the crowd who cover up cheapness by claiming they are keeping fit and active. And turning up at destinations sweaty, scruffy and smelling off their best!
  20. Is that it's name then.....? Thanks....
  21. You should have put your hand in your pocket and paid for her!
  22. Strangely enough my Mrs does, as does her 85 year old mother.. real books, with writing not pictures! Member of a local library.
