  1. Toby1947 is Jackie the Jokeman?
  2. +1 for Vision Center. "Wow--I am surprised no one mentioned (unless i missed it) Vision Center (just google and you will get directions. There were overwhelming recommended to me many years ago when I first moved to CM from bkk--they are, as i was told, excellent." Same here - in 2018 or '19 it was this forum's most recommended shop for glasses, and for vision prescriptions which are done by the owner at no charge if one purchases glasses. I had a prescription from an optometrist at CM Ram but the owner was pretty insistent on wanting to doublecheck by doing it himself (at no charge). I paid more than I expected then - I think about 3,600 THB. Would have been cheaper but the most comfortable frames were a name brand. Note that the shop has no sign in English. It's at 18/2 Ratvithi Rd, Si Phum Sub-district, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200. (UN Irish Pub is 24/1 Ratvithi Rd).
  3. "It's been a longtime since I have been in Asia. And time...the passage of time...It's very important the passage of time...".
  4. Maybe before creating man, God should have consulted a scientist or two? (They could have straightened him out also on the nipple's function).
  5. What side effects?
  6. In what way is your (standard) Ad Hominem attack related to his comments on Ukraine/Russia? "Typically, this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than addressing the substance of the argument itself." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
  7. Does Sombat himself perform the procedures?
  8. Door to door Refrigerator Magnet Salesman.
  9. That story has been debunked.
  10. You could have told her in your country when it is someone's birthday they give chocolate to all their co-workers and would she like to give you some.
  11. "i told her she should hav e told me it was her birthday and she said no i should have asked!!" Did you ask her why she hadn't asked you daily if it's your birthday?
  12. I asked this a few years ago - this seems like a good occasion to try again: How can I declare myself an organ donor in Thailand? (Also - How can I donate my corpse to a medical school here)?
  13. "For many, the idea that the tournament would not be shown free-to-air in the kingdom is unthinkable." The Government has to know how important this is for them - “Football, beer, and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult…” George Orwell, '1984'
  14. People with periods. Chest feeders. I don't know about "woke", but: Trope. Lateral Ableism. ~
  15. I have a similar.problem w/FB. It never completes the page change - the progress bar goes veryyy slowly near completion and stops about 1/16th of an inch from completion. I use a different browser now for FB only and no problem. Clear cache and cookies, reboot, and as someone has suggested, try another browser. PS - I never use the app - only the website.
  16. It's the Golden Rule - Those with the gold make the rules. (True in all countries. Even so, many countries treat vehicular manslaughter/DUI seriously but not here).
  17. This will blow some minds here: Rented a great house in the US - After a while a light bulb or a battery in smoke alarm needed replacing. Gf said it's the owners responsibility. I was extremely doubtful but had never rented a house before. Called the owner and he said to buy it and take it off the rent. Not a hint of protest or upset.
  18. Is everybody including in their monthly spend Medical Insurance/Medical costs not insurance covered?
  19. I disagree that tenants are responsible for air conditioner maintenance. I have never experienced that in the US or in SEA, renting a house and apartments. Supplied appliances are the landlord's responsibility.
