Yes, more than one.

Last night was Saturday night. Check again on Monday to Thursday. Obviously, some bars make money. And some even have money left after they pay the rent and all the other expenses. But the good times, when almost any bar made money, are long gone.

Maybe some extra cylinders under the rear bank or in the baggage department.

That reminds me that some time ago I asked my gf about the corruption in her village administration. She told me something like: Why else would anybody work in that job? In a way, that makes sense. TiT.

Normally I avoid that place. But sometimes I want an espresso and there is no other shop. So, I go there, order it, take my cash out, and then they tell me they don't want cash. And in two or three months I forgot about that and try again. In Bangkok city no cash seems to be their usual policy.

Online? Recently I wanted to buy original Bavarian mustard. No shop had it. And then I found it online and I think I got it delivered within two days from Koh Samui.

Create this one for Thailand. https://www.passapptaxis.com/ I use this every time I am over there (not very often) and it's great.

I use Sequoia since decades.

It must be a lot of work to collect all that money. Who paid already and how much? What should he pay next time? How to hide all that money? How to spend it? That's a lot of work.

Actually, it is not so difficult to have a look at brakes and other vital components. I am sure many of the problems are not so hidden that they were difficult to find.

Did anybody in your household overload that chair? Some time ago I thought about buying a LazyBoy recliner. They had somewhere a message, I think in bold, that if anybody over 100kg or something like that uses the chair, then the warranty is void.

You are probably right. Nobody is surprised that corruption exists everywhere. It's not difficult to see it and it would not be difficult to start to fight it - if the authorities would want that. But who really cares about a couple of dead children if they can keep their corruption going. Sad, very sad.

It seems the dental cover is bad to non-existing. Best case removal of the tooth or a little filling is paid. And, as far as I see, if there are 3 or 4 bad teeth and even that is not covered.

Shocking! Who would have thought there could be corruption anywhere in Thailand? In this case it should be easy to follow the paper trail. Who signed the inspections? Arrest those people and put them on murder charges. And then maybe give them the chance to expose others who are also involved in those scams. Arrest them and put them in jail. And make sure everybody knows what will happen if they do the same again.

nuff said

Imagine the traffic chaos if this would actually happen within Bangkok. Crazy!

It depends on what you want to use it for. With good light conditions for a basic office meeting probably all cameras will do the job. If you want that everybody can see every pore of your skin even in the dark, then better buy a better camera.

But be careful with that. Lots of capacitors with different vales look the same. If the capacitor has the wrong voltage or is the wrong type it can blow up. So, if you don't know exactly what you are doing, don't do it!

In most places I pay the way I want. If it's over maybe 2000B then mostly I pay with credit card. Or i.e. a 20k payment with transfer on my phone. Small amounts normally in cash. The only really annoying place I know is starbugs. Even for one coffee, no cash. Annoying. Another reason to avoid that place.

>20 years together, not married. I am/was her first boyfriend ever. I guess that helped. I work mostly at home, so I have time for her, and I am not away all day. I guess that also helps. She was and is most of the time a nice girl. Some years ago, she started with annoying nagging. I told her to stop. She didn't. I told her to visit her family or (female) friend for a while because I won't accept this nagging any longer. So, she stayed with a friend up country for two month and then begged me to come back. No nagging anymore. Since then, no problems anymore - except some mornings when she is hangry. It seems this is something I have to accept. We are happy together and I guess we will stay together forever.

She could try to get a life.

I remember an agent in Sukhumvit Soi 23 a long time ago. At some point they gave him (I think I remember) one week to leave Thailand. I don't know what happened with all the clients which used his not so legal services. My point is, if you can afford to be legal, why should you risk being illegal. Because even if you get away with it initially doesn't mean that someone will ask questions years later.

Good question.

Really? Personally I just think it's nice to see constantly pretty females. Last time I was "back home" I saw lots of ugly and/or fat and/or old women. Imagine you have a nice coffee and there are maybe twenty people in the shop and not even one pretty female - in Thailand that is seldom. And then the attitude of those western women. No, I am really not interested in them. And I am sure they are not better in NY or LA or Berlin or London or wherever.

I wonder how many parents, if asked in private, would agree to such punishments. It seems many parents think the teachers and soldiers should do the job which the parents failed to do.
