  1. Yes, I thought that, 2 card 21 surely is a natural or Blackjack. Not the know it all gambler he professes to be!

    Baht bus prices

    I think if you continue beyond Klang it would be a 20 baht fare... but driver dependent.... With that construction on 2nd now are the busses still going that far.?.... Might as well get off at South Rd as being a pedestrian could be faster.
  3. Noise is just a way of life here...... Even in a house, you will need more than the usual 60TW to be far enough away, neighbours don't always see it your way. I have somewhat more space and still get disturbed by their dogs, a modified motorbike, and frequent axxholes who use a horn not a doorbell...... Visit the rural village and it is getting better... but not in the village itself, vehicle noise is extreme ... some of these creations they have would burst eardrums. Out in the rice fields... you might get lucky... but a merit party or wedding can be heard for miles, so get yourself invited. I could not imagine a condo if one got door slammers nearby, you got 2 shared walls, a ceiling and a floor and a long corridor......
  4. It is possible they were intending to install some windows up there!
  5. There are bigger issues.......what other people do, and obviously should have zero impact on your life, should not stress you so. To go back to pre-Covid behaviour,, with 6.5 million lost souls, as if nothing happened would be a monumental mistake.... lessons to be learned.
  6. I expect the newsworthy point is it appears to have come early this year.
  7. They just seem to wave me on and I don't get the opportunity to join in the search!
  8. Isn't it just..... Part of the problem is indeed them shopping and changing the configuration...... one day a set of lights are on, one day they are off, and there was once a through lane that worked well, which later got changed. They have made a right pig's ear of the alternative, The Railway Line Bypass, which has been renamed 'tour of scruffy backroads'.... which has been a suspension destroyer for over a year now. I have paid 10 baht and wasted fuel to use Hwy 36 and Hwy 7 quite a number of times, but beware weekend Bangkok traffic.
  9. A lot of posters seem to want to turn everything into an opportunity to denigrate Thai people..... it is not even a comment from the Thai Government, rather TAT. I think they have done well to be in less of a mess than the other countries we talk of.
  10. Looks like you may get attacked by a soi dog!
  11. The threat of fines is all about us, hand written 'Fine 2000 baht' next to parking, smoking and littering warnings are plentiful. Nearly as abundant as foreign scofflaws!
  12. You are really suggesting they are wearing masks on a motorcycle as a perceived protective measure against accidents? And some deride the locals!
  13. The OP does not really say anything of the sort...... Mind you, with the UK talking about power black outs in winter.. on top of the high bills, Thailand looks like a good idea... even Phuket.
  14. 80% of what... certainly not last years numbers surely. Or is it 80% of currently available seats? (On a reduced number of flights.)
  15. I think his point is a more cynical 'might as well'......
  16. For me 'including' certainly does not make it ten, 'excluding' would have been used surely. Amusing they felt the need to tell us what types of vehicles they were, moreso if a few Hi-So vehicles had been among them!
  17. Not struggle, simply those who would also live meagre lives by turning on that heating. I think there is likely a sector of people who have sufficient funds to live here... and immediately be living a better standard of living. I compare Pattaya to Blackpool or Rhyl, no contest.
  18. You had better move or take effective action on standing water and plants where these mosquitoes live. Nets to sleep under.... repellant when out and about. The issue being in an area where there are infected mosquitoes....
  19. I didn't bring enough with me!
