This is the breakdown of taxes and fees on a recently quoted return flight BKK to MNL. Comes to 3510 THB out of a total ticket cost of 9754 THB. Soon to add in 300 THB.

Here are several examples in the topic index. I should have said backslash. Apologies. But is it just me?

All your copy has the forward slash before any quotes, single or double. This used to be to 'escape' the slashed character from being treated as a special character in eg C programming. Surely you can configure your type setters or whatever it is that's doing it, to stop doing it? Annoyed from Tunbridge Wells.

Where's the reference to Russians in this article?

/Start bore Chang ช้าง elephant, high tone, and Chang ฉาง granary, rising tone. Spelt differently and pronounced differently. You wanted the granary. /End bore

Shouldn't that be "escaped goats"?

But you can buy all sorts that way, obviously. Hotels, flights, etc etc. I guess one option would be not to allow storage of card details by anyone, given the choice.

Just makes me wonder if that screen is a touch screen.....?

Are you seriously saying this is a screen shot of an ATM screen? With the Start button and all the icons showing? I think it's been doctored.

Quite so. I think it's quite legitimate to scratch it out, and keep a record of it elsewhere.

"Blame the image of the criminal Asian man doing the job of swiping credit cards usually holds a passport American nationality - wears a white cap shoulder bag black - wearing black sneakers" Let the jury decide.

For $ accounts maybe. For sterling accounts they use a UK bank. And I guess the same applies to all currencies. If you have a Wise account, you can find all your account details, sort codes, swift, IBAN etc if you click on "Manage/Account details".

Another brandy, sir?

I drove a black cab for 12 years in London. My best mates, all cabbies, were, amongst others, Indian, Malay Chinese, and Hong Kong Chinese. The cabbies' real resentment was reserved for the illegal minicab (aka private hire) drivers. If you could survive 3 years doing the Knowledge, you were worthy of your badge. That's all that mattered.

Move to Philippines and unfreeze it.

I wondered about that too but couldn't remember the release dates. The report has 2 date stamps. The page headers read "Conference’17, July 2017, Washington, DC, USA", but the document is marked "arXiv:2302.01890v1 [cs.CR] 3 Feb 2023".

Is this really headline news, or just TPN getting itself in there? Allegedly.

From the above linked pdf, it should be noted that "In this work we study the Chinese version of the Android OS distributions run by Xiaomi, Realme, and OnePlus handsets. We measure the network traffic the handsets generate when in-use by a privacy-aware consumer. We find that these devices come bundled with a number of third-party applications, some of which are granted dangerous runtime permissions by default without user consent, and transmit traffic containing a broad range of geolocation, user-profile and social relationships PII to both phone vendors and third-party domains, without notifying the user or offering the choice to opt-out. In contrast, the data shared by the Global version of the firmware is mostly limited to device-specific information. Our study therefore highlights major differences in terms of how privacy provisions are enforced in different regions." In addition the study is dated 2017 and concerns Android 11. All the same, a disturbing portrait of mobile phone "security". Seems a mobile phone can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

Could it be Queen Frozen Fruit is Chinese owned by proxy? So really it's just a 100% Chinese enterprise. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LgDnOMA4Fv0

Must be visible from Mars.

Where Pat lives

Real rattan isn't plastic, it's cane, and it's a highly skilled job making rattan furniture, and extremely expensive to buy or repair as a result. Lasts at least 10 years though, IMHE. A decent carpenter will probably be able to jury rig repairs and save a fortune. You could screw some timber squares/planking to the frame, then add some cushioning. Any amount of options. ????

Really? Literally hundreds? I only know of one, on the main road between Chantaburi and Trad. Hugely expensive. I took a set of 4 chairs there and ended up giving them to my driver.

Don't see that on TAT's press releases.
