  1. 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.
  2. Thailand and Thais are often sitting around waiting on some windfall!
  3. 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. .
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
  8. Is that it's name then.....? Thanks....
  9. You should have put your hand in your pocket and paid for her!
  10. Strangely enough my Mrs does, as does her 85 year old mother.. real books, with writing not pictures! Member of a local library.
  11. The Chinese have been telling us lies wrt Covid for 3 years now.... but I saw video reports today backing up current statements of high infections, deaths and hospitalizations of elderly....
  12. No, correct as written,,,,there are 2 Fever shops in Bongkoch area https://goo.gl/maps/4Yimk8zTVe5hgXG9A https://goo.gl/maps/rSvnypRAyjXxcSCW6 Plus I spotted a new place selling Expat supplies only last Friday, located on Buakhao at the old Churchills Bar location.
  13. Don't blame you there......
  14. He seems to have a better offer direct, not via the agent, but wants YOU to cancel so as not to impact his standing with them!
  15. Try either of the Fever Expat Food shops https://goo.gl/maps/rvNNb3F3XZy7Lj4u8 There is also a new one on Buakhao, North End, where the old Churchill's Bar was.
  16. A USA pal of mine was denied due to a current alimony dispute... we needed him on the job just over the border in Mexico!
  17. I found it was mostly bikes giving me the problem, and they were fast moving so I felt vulnerable....Arunothai is usually slow moving...ignorant people.
  18. Spotted 3 in a row recently....and still they open, I thought Thais could saturate a market!
  19. Me too... although not much to go back to the UK for anyhow, strikes and Christmas killings!
  20. The sad reality is, there is plenty things to do with ones money in these places!
  21. Yes, I just went through that a few days ago... what really griped was after she left she came back and distracted the till girl to get a receipt acting as if I was not there.
  22. It is possible he had the means to do better than the average prisoner, but 3rd world prisons are usually not places people like to be.
  23. They will probably want to drive on the right side as they do at home....obstinate people... and they seem to get their own way in Thailand!
  24. I thought the fireworks were on again?
