  1. OP - are you positive they actually made a withdrawal in the first place. When I order, I get a notification on my bank app (Kasikorn) that says XXX Baht is "on hold" and will only be debited when the food is delivered. If the food vendor cancels, I get a message on the bank app saying the money has been refunded, even though it was never debited. The messages are typically Thinglish grammar and a bit misleading. The first time I got a cancellation, I immediately re-ordered. I received a proliferation of messages from my bank and Grab about the cancellation, re-ordering money on hold, and refund, as well as cancellation and refund of the driver tip on the first order. It was quite confusing, but trolling through the messages and comparing activity on my actual bank account showed that I was only debited once for the second order (and driver tip) that was delivered.
  2. Not quite the same as peeing on your feet to treat tinea.
  3. Personally, I find the disorganized Thai bureaucratic system much less tyrannical than the organized and brutal bureaucracy of my home country, the Democratic Socialist Republic of New Zealand.
  4. It is my understanding that the first 90 day report after re-entering needs to be done physically at the IO. Second and subsequent reports can be done online. Been this way since the online system was launched.
  5. Huge selection of pillows and bedwear at Homepro on Suk.
  6. How many kids of today get clobbered by their Mum for bending two spoons beyond recognition while repairing the puncture on their bike? Nobody!
  7. What does "Teflon Thailand" mean?
  8. The guy has omitted the most important tip of all. When returning home to your Mia from a boy's night out, always double check that your shirt is not inside-out, and you are wearing both socks. Don't ask me how I know.
  9. And even then, only use one hand well below the chin.
  10. Every American is now Googling Q,E.D.
  11. Or your and you're.
  12. The biggest giveaway is their dress sense (lack of).
  13. Maybe he's confusing the birthday issue with getting a driving license. They always expire on your birthday and they "round up" so technically I think you can get a license for 5 years and 364 days.
  14. Is that why they call them Sausage Dogs?
  15. The Indigenous population are not well renowned for their reverse parking abilities, but when they attempt reverse parking on the "wrong" side of the road, it's a sight to behold.
  16. Good comparisons, but I think of living in Thailand more like a never ending Monty Python skit on rocket fuel. Anything (and therefore, everything) is possible.
  17. Every day is a debacle in LOS. That's why I love living here.
  18. I bet nobody in any government department is capable of driving a manual vehicle. So telling them the joke about engaging your brain before putting your mouth in gear would sail way over their heads.
  19. Do the math. In a country of some 67 million, only 63 speeding traffic stops were made in a day. This assumes that all those stopped were ticketed and had a point removed. Talk about urinating into the wind!
  20. Oh goody. I can get caught drunk driving three times before they take my license away. Actually, as I have a motorcycle and a car license, maybe I can get caught three times on each conveyance.
  21. At the same time you are attempting to load a problem site, run a speed test and see what's happening. Also, try pinging the problem site to see if you get a ping response. If you do, it implies it is the browser that is at fault. Or maybe the sites you're having issues with have a paywall or similar, and Chrome is able to get through it with an extension. Edit: Re the temperature sensor, I think most only upload once every minute.
  22. 8.) And a pocketful of posies.
  23. In another thread, somebody suggested fronting up to the IO in a wheelchair to jump the queue. You could go one better and add a saline drip and a colostomy bag.
  24. I never get mosquito bites, even when those around me are getting bitten. I wouldn't dare to confuse correlation with causation, but I've often wondered if it's anything to do with my blood/alcohol ratio.
