  1. New Norgegian Cod restaurant in Hua Hin, great cod.
  2. Only an idiot would buy a bar in Pattaya.
  3. Do you think it can go up continually? I expect a bear market for 10 years in the traditional markets.
  4. what kind of sites, do you mean Netflix, Disney PLus etc? do you have to pay?
  5. haven't figured it out yet, but I think I can stream from phone to TV
  6. Samsung รุ่น 55AU7700 Smart TV 4K UHD ขนาด 55 นิ้ว
  7. It would be nice to get news channels, and even British soaps like Corrie!
  8. I rent a house and i think it had True. The workmen came and said they had taken away the bo months ago but I was still getting chineses channels all the Thai channels, fox news, Fraance 24, RT, Alzazeera. On the night of the World cup final, or maybe the night before there was a storm and there hasn't been a connection again, despite the workmen going on the roof to investigate. Bit of a mystery. Got a new 55" Smart TV.
  9. Last trip back I stayed at the IBIS Whitechapel and didn't feel same walking around there at 7 pm. Bring back the Krays ???? Stayed at the bottom of Leith Walk in Edinburgh, same there, actually felt threatened at 3 pm one day! Walking down Union Street in Aberdeen on a night out was shocked at how aggressive some of the young guys were, bumping into me, etc. I have walked the streets of Bangkok, even in the worst areas like Khlong Toey and never once felt threatened.
  10. So you bought near the peak of a bull market, not wise but as you found out, if you keep it you will profit. Your investment went x7 almost after 3 years, reaching $69,000, why are you complaining? Unbelievable!
  11. Fair enough, my views have changed over the years. I broke the law in Scotland for not paying the Poll Tax as I hate the Thatcher government. Is this a valid excuse for not doing something I don't want to do? I do see the point of people saying 'well Thailand is corrupt, so I will be corrupt too'. However, I think it is hypocritical when people use visa agents then complain about the corruption in Thailand, as they are contributing to it. I also understand that some newbies here feel intimidated by the immigration police and use agents to secure their stay. One of my good friends who is totally against corruption of any kind told me that he didn't have to travel to Bangkok anymore for his letter from the embassy as the IO asked him how much it would cost and suggested he pay 5000 baht to her and she could fix it. He would never even pay a traffic bribe but when it comes to something that helps him a lot, as he's old, he succumbed and what upsets me more is that he denies that he is taking part in corruption. I hate immigration and have had run ins with them. I even contacted a former Minister of Finance to send a team to my local immigration to sort something out. This guy is very concerned about corruption in immigration and his team are talking about what to do with the large-scale use of visa agents and how they are protected by senior police. This could all come crashing down at any moment, and I think it is responsible to warn all expats who live here with families. Do things by the book!
  12. Out of interest, what country are you from? Do you think illegal immigrants there are OK? 99% of agents are dishonest as the bribe immigration police. Immigration will one day be cleaned out and the illegals will be deported, mark my words.
  13. This is small change for the immigration police. The bulk of their dirty money comes from pensioners who don't meet requirements to live here and pay agents 15-20k, of which the bent officer gets 10k for stamping the visa extension with one eye closed. This practice is being reported more and more, so if you are an illegal immigrant, beware, you might get kicked out the country sooner than you realize. There's even a couple of banks in Pattaya with immigration police falsifying the illegals bank books!
  14. You are taking from near the top of the bull cycle. I could say it has done 500% since early 2020, or 1500% in 6 years.
  15. I had 100 channels but now lost them. What's the best box to buy to get many channels?
  16. How did they lose? Anyone who bought Bitcoin and held a couple of years is up.
  17. You'll find the new era is all about DeFi and blockchain technology, which includes crypto. Bitcoin will become the world currency.
  18. It's obviously NOT legal to falsify an immigration application.
  19. So you obviously pay 1000 baht or so, unlike the ones who pay 16,000 to illegally bypass/overcome immigration regulations.
  20. Absolutely, and these people often complain about corruption in Thailand. However, little chance of being deported as the Immigration police are the ones committing the crime too, and they are passing the cash to the highest levels.
  21. Could it be as the owner of KeyVisa died recently?
  22. What has this word got to do with what I quoted?
  23. Which country was it in?
  24. ? It seems that many have found a new word when they can't refute what has been said.
