  1. The government are looking closely at a lot of these nominee companies after complaints from Thai business owners that foreigners were taking their business. Thailand is also apparently suffering a large drop in tourist numbers due to various factors. If you are planning to open a business catering to tourists, you will have to take that into account and that there is also a low season, usually Sept to end of November when you might not make any money at all..
  2. What exactly were those Chinese guys who were arrested trying to remove from the site? And why?
  3. I read somewhere that the Iranians have just cut off all use of the American GPS system, and turned on the Chinese Beidou GPS navigation system. This might make their missiles much more accurate if hostilities start up again.
  4. Guns? Phones? Murder? Sounds more like the Mafia that the clergy.
  5. This is life in many cities around the world.
  6. Bejeesus! It's a good job I lurk on these forums so it is. That sounds like it might be my girl. Now where's my baseball bat? 😁
  7. It must be the stress of the ride across the Channel in those flimsy, packed boats.
  8. This will really help increase the tourist numbers, and the health of the nation.
  9. Minehead, or a rural location might be different, but when I return to London now, even after only nine years the area I last lived is very different. new buildings, new shops and businesses, friends moved on to other places, and foreign faces, beggars, homeless and druggies everywhere. Why not try a holiday to the area you prefer to see what it is like? It would be horrible to go to all the trouble of packing everything up, getting back and finding you now hate the place.
  10. Looks like the tattooist missed a bit...his nose. But seriously, there are tattoos and tattoos. this guy has gone far beyond what could be considered normal. He might be a nice guy, but he has gone far beyond what most people would consider normal. He must have come across adverse reactions from people all the time, so he shouldn't have been too surprised when he was refused entry by Immigration. I sometimes see people that have had an entire area; whole arm or even face completely blacked out, (well dark blue), and I think what is the point? There is no beauty, colour or art in it, so why do it?
  11. No. I don’t believe it is supported in Thailand. It’s odd because this afternoon I could access AN for the first time in a while without problems. Indeed I am typing this message on my iPhone. Couldn’t access this morning or yesterday though.
  12. Yes. I have done it in a while, but I have previously given cash to the cashier and she has topped it up for me.
  13. A bit off topic, but do you know that you can get a Major Cineplex Next Card at the counter in Major Cineplex that you can top up at the ticket desk. it gives discount on tickets, and you can use to pay for tickets at the touch screen machines. This website might help you getting a True Money Wallet: https://truemoneytransfer.truemoney.com/application-document/
  14. I have an odd problem. Recently I can no longer access the Asean Now website on my iPhone. I can access any other website, just not AN. I get the following CloudFlare message: The web server reported a gateway time-out error (Error code 504,) It says: Browser working, Cloudflare working, aseannow.com Host Error. The web server reported a gateway time-out error. I can access on my computer without problem, just not on my iphone. Any ideas anyone? It is a late model iPhone running the latest OS.
  15. So much jealousy in this thread.😀
  16. khunPer. I know nothing about electrics. I looked that up, but isn't that for single phase? W-OP2 is a digital electronic instrument designed for AC voltage monitoring and protection in single phase system This dodgy electrical system here on the island has just cost me another THB17,000. Burnt out the circuit board on my induction hob, and cannot be fixed or replaced, so new hob needed. I will see if I can find one to be fitted behind the oven. Thanks.
  17. Not only night time. I see them every morning when doing the school run. Walking adverts for Disney, Warner Bros and Cinnamon Roll, whoever that is. Must be a fashion trend.
  18. You still need to have a valid driving licence along with the IDP. I got my IDP to drive in France when I was on holiday there.. I didn't want to get there with just my Thai DL and get a knock back. In the end I didn't use it as a friend drove on his UK licence.
  19. Iran will probably be even more determined to build a nuclear weapon now, even if they were perhaps not in the first place. Only difference now is it will be done in secret, likely with help from another country. Trump should never have reneged on the original agreement in his first term.
  20. If Iran can hit tel Aviv with a missile, I'm pretty sure they could hit an oil tanker, air cover or not. They only need to sink one to scare the others from attempting to get through.
  21. Ten years in a Cambodian prison is likely to be a death penalty.
  22. So Trump bombs another country, then states, "Now is the time for peace." I wonder if the Iranians feel the same way.
