  1. Are you really saying that Americans who support Trump are mentally ill? I believe this to be around 70 million people! This is anti-Trump supremacy to the max.
  2. However, not successful yet, even after doing the dip chip thing at 7/11. There is som new 'persona system' which made me take photos of ID, selfie looking left and right, etc
  3. Of course I read your post. What circumstances are you talking about?
  4. FYI, I just withdrew funds from Bitkub and had to receive an SMS to my phone, then ADD my Thai ID card number.
  5. Thanks for your honesty. Would you vote for him in the next election if he is running against Trump?
  6. 'you guys'? I don't have a horse in this race, I not even american! I am an impartial observer. This is not clear at all - are you admitting Biden is unfit for the job of US president, or are you saying he is fit for the position - a simple yes or no would be clear. I don't mean is he better than Trump.
  7. Very negative. This is huge news - traditional finance know now they can buy crypto safely and legally. This, along with endorsements by Larry Fink, Blackrock mean a huge bull run is coming.
  8. Absolutely, the press knew, I knew due to the evidence, things like when he called his opposition 'George' and other similar gaffes. I find it truly bizarre that the hardcore Biden supporters STILL refuse to admit that their horse is failing, even with continual gaffes. The latest were when he touched the arm and back of King Charles, and appeared to not know where he was or what he was doing when inspecting the troops,when the King had to try to get him to stop talking. Most rational Democrats realize that he is an embarrassment and unfit to run again, and will be lucky to be allowed to continue this term. Most rational Democrats realize, and admit they were wrong in voting for him, just to keep Trump out.
  9. Indeed, Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in the UK. Not many people know that, like not many people know Phad Tai was invented in 1932 to stop Thais buying Chinese noodles. Protectionism by Paw Piboonsongkhram, or Nationalism, copying his European leader friends.
  10. Actually, in October of 1992, there was a huge drop in exchange, something like 65 - 37 baht / pound. After 2/3 weeks I was out of money and bought a Bangkok Post and rang 10 job vacancies, whilst sweating in a telephone box, remember them? Luckily the last number wanted to see me and I got a job - things could have been so different.
  11. Lucky you. If I could drink normally, I'd drink every day too.
  12. I came here in 1992 with 1,000 GBP in traveller's cheques. I had no idea how long it would last me; I'm still here.
  13. 23 years since I sat on that stool. Firstly, are you really an alcoholic or just a heavy drinker? There is a huge difference. If you are indeed an alkie, the only cure is spiritual in nature.
  14. Everyone knows but some refuse to admit, for reasons only they know. However, a good OP.
  15. I see, I thought it might be some superstition.
  16. Very harsh and this is the nature of politics in most countries. Ask yourself why your country has not taken measures to cut itself off from Thailand.
  17. The reasons for this could be multiple. It most probably is because of the attitude of the foreigner, or maybe lack of spoken Thai. There are many ways around this. Firstly, don't start criticizing Thai culture and their lack of whatever. Learn Thai culture and how to over come these hurdles. It might be by bring a few donuts, or using the name of someone of influence you know. Alternatively, tell them you need it as you are applying to become a Thai national, showing them the checklist that is issued by Special Branch police. Tell them that if they refuse to comply, you'll take them international court.
  18. The issue here I think is that your pink ID card says that you are restricted to the province you are registered in. It says so on the back. These pink cards were originally used for migrant workers and around 2016, they were told that all foreigners could get one. They really need to issue a new type of card, but that is more work for them and it may be discrimination of foreigners from Myanamr/Cambodia if they can't get the new foreigner card. They believe that farang don't need a pink card and can't understand why so many these days want one, as they have a passport. Why on earth would a rich farang want a card that says they are restricted to the one province? Rather than waste time, and encourage all foreigners to get one, they try to say it is not possible. Khon Kaen DLT also don't accept pink cards but do the yellow book, which is the proper document used to verify address.
  19. Good point, but is there any reason it has to be the right hand door?
  20. Her parents moved there a couple of years ago, actually her father died last week and we were there for the funeral. My wife's brother's wife's family are originally from there.
  21. Yesterday, I drove from Chiang Mai to Singburi and saw about 50 lorries with their right door wide open. What's that all about?
  22. Interesting, I was there yesterday. My wife is opening a restaurant in Sukhothai, near Wat Chai Udom. When we met, she was working for a Japanese Tech company called Minnebea, in Lopburi.
  23. Same happens to me. It does work if open in new tab. Also, I can't leave an emoji.
