  1. What are you banging on about?.... Posters are making more fuss about 71 being referred to as elderly!
  2. Tempting, but I will pass!
  3. And why do kids with parents and a home take them... because they can?
  4. And stand a good chance in The Eurovision song contest and a job in the media!
  5. Agents, a well known one once told me, are facilitators. I agree that it can appear obstacles are thrown up now and again to push people towards bypassing regular channels and enlisting an agent. But toeing the line in Thailand would get you nowhere. I feel for those who are older, have disability etc, standing in long lines in the sun and being herded about is just impossible for them..... I suspect immigration would be even more crowded and confused if agents weren't applying some semblance of organization. Remember Chiangmai some years back.. didn't people have to arrive at 5am to stand a chance... and be waiting in a crowd? Without help, many will just risk overstay!
  6. Yes, that statement depressed me..... There is some policy to do Covid tests on arriving dead people in Thailand now?
  7. Well I would not have a dog where I currently live.. and cats can be pretty finnicky.....I could understand taking the treat of some spare rib-bones home, or steak trimmings for a dog though. Perhaps for the USA guys who need to eat every few hours, the thought of left over pizza congealing in the fridge stops them sleeping!
  8. We had a drunk off duty policeman waving his gun about on one train journey I did.. and me keeping my head down as the only falang and I am sometimes a magnet for drunks to talk to. I love a few beers but on balance I suspect trains and stations should be dry....
  9. Have never taken to that concept.... as you say it looks rather pathetic, and old leftovers are hardly appetizing.. even the cat doesn't want them. Got into the habit of not ordering as many dishes as I used to!
  10. He would need to stand on a box!
  11. Not sure about that... many seem to want to get out of town after some years. I always though those remaining in Central Pattaya were those who didn't want to drive and could be seen walking down Arunothai with a shopping bag early morning, and had the odd meal from a 7-11.
  12. My very quick first thought too.
  13. Might be a good move if some categories of criminal were banned from International travel by their home countries.
  14. Yes, I have often paid over the odds for the convenience of something. Anyone standing in a long line down soi 5 in the sun to save a few thousand baht.... sad, but maybe no choice.
  15. How about the owners mentioned in the OP, they have plenty of experience and now some belated sense? Pointless explaining to someone blinded.
  16. A few Visas have that requirement already..O-A for example. At the moment, for Visa Exempt, they need submit nothing bar a passport... it really is that easy. So what is all this other ribbish?
  17. Gone backwards, yes, certainly. Remember prohibition!
  18. I would like to think she keeps it and herself behind the counter!
  19. Breakfast buffets, for the greedy with eyes bigger than their stomachs... serious wastage.
  20. Yes, I might, I have watched a lot of MenTour Pilot videos over the years. You are trying to impose your own censorship here. Even your comment 'probably not' is you answering for someone else, and actually getting it wrong. Many make decisions based on what they hear or read, not needing to have a limb torn off to decide not to keep one of these dogs.
  21. It's like you acting as a moderator when you aren't.
