  1. These are not really tourists, are they?
  2. I think that the majority will be in transit and so will not leave the airport.
  3. That makes absolutely no sense at all, but maybe I just don't understand the significance of the MCT being between 0 and 75 minutes.
  4. 100 Baht/kilogram seems very cheap, but maybe there is a lot of wastage with whole fruit?
  5. How do you know that she didn't see you but heard you? Did you stop and chat about it?
  6. Huh??
  7. I see numerous Thai people wearing them every single day. It is only snobby Farangs that look down at them!
  8. Maybe where you are. Had very little rain here in Khon Kaen.
  9. No, there were about 256 cases each day where hospitalisation was required. There must have been a lot more daily cases when including those that didn't require hospitalisation.
  10. What on earth does that mean?
  11. Didn't they arrest a (Canadian?) foreigner last week for letting off fireworks? Makes a change that this time they actually used some common sense and arrested the people selling them. Maybe because there were no foreigners that had bought them this time!
  12. I wish that people would just name the form instead of using TM?? I have no idea what a TM7 is and no intention of looking it up. It took me ages to get used to forms where they wanted dates and I would complete the full date in the box, only to see on the next line a box marked "Month"!
  13. So, for years they have been telling tourists that they are not real tourists because they visit too often or for too long. Now they admit that they are allowing Chinese tourists to circumvent their rules! Is that just because they are Chinese??
  14. A few years back it was going to be quite a few KM north of KK, near some government office to do with the roads/transport.
  15. Unless things have changed, I believe that you only have to sign this declaration if you are married to each other.
  16. I am quite sure that if both are renewed on the same day, both will expire on the same date. I renewed both licenses this year, one week after my birthday and both licenses are valid for 6 years (minus one week).
  17. A Farang driving a motorbike and sidecar with passenger(s) in the sidecar may draw the attention of the police as an easy way to make a few baht! You can carry goods but not passengers in the sidecar.
  18. Makes no sense at all. Just yesterday reporting a possible 300 Baht fee due to too many tourists and today, concerns about the low season (that happens every year). Surprised to see an advert for a cold brew beer at the top of the page. Such ads are not allowed are they?
  19. I know that these items sometimes like to use play-on-words, but quite often I don't get it. What is an unexpected cluck? Also ducks quack, not cluck! Huh?? what is a sunny-side-up increase ?
  20. Did you miss what happened on the 7th of October last year? You don't think that it was hateful, murdering Muslim savages that attacked Israeli citizens? The Palestinians started the war and what did they expect Israel to do? Slap their hands and ask them not to do it again?
  21. If a savage muslim converts to Christianity, Buddhism Hinduism etc, they will probably still be a savage!
  22. Unless you know for sure that the meat is fresh, I think that it is best to always assume that it has been frozen and thawed. Chicken I will cook the same day as I buy it or after 1 day maximum in the fridge. Pork, I will allow 2 days max in the fridge. Beef can stay in the fridge for 4 days. I will always check the smell and dump anything dubious. It is just not worth the risk. Some places, I will never buy meat from due to the smell. Tesco no longer have a presence in Thailand, so i can say that I would not buy meat in some of their supermarkets due to the stink at the meat section!
  23. Waking up on a winter morning with ice on the inside of the windows. Oldest first to use the bath water, youngest last. Easter eggs with the chocolate so thick that you needed to smash it with a hammer or something heavy. Simple gifts for Christmas and we were grateful for whatever we got. Walking (or bicycling) to school from 5 years old with no adult. Listening to radio Caroline and other pirate radio. Recording Pick of the Pops on cassettes. "Oi'll give it foive".(Janice Nicholls) Tea made in a teapot with tea leaves. Running to stand on the bridge as a steam train went under.
  24. There is absolutely no reason to be embarrassed to admit that you are British. His actions were not due to him being British but because he is a total Pratt! I wish that many people on here would realise that certain behavior has nothing to do with whatever nationality the person may be. I think that you would probably find that a very low percentage of Brits would consider it acceptable to stroll naked on a Thai beach.
  25. I think that you are probably confusing them with whitefly larvae that you find on the underside of leaves or aphids that you tend to find on stems.
