Jim could have just upped sticks and moved to a different part of Thailand.

I’m pretty much invested in Apple’s eco system, so cheaper phones are not really an option. Although I am still using my iPhone 11 so a lot of the features are not the latest. Larger memory is great for taking photos, loading music library and movies, tv shows. Apple Pay, (NFC to touch and pay with phone) was handy in the U.K., but doesn’t work here, nor some other Apple Services which work in the west. I might look at the 17 when it comes out. I’d like a good camera and decent, larger screen, and WiFi 7 for faster internet. I did prefer the Touch ID finger print access to the newer Face ID of the newer phones AI doesn’t interest me. Apple and Samsung are in an annual one upmanship race to try and outdo one another, but a friend recently bought a OnePlus phone which seems very well specked.

Though what you say is true, you are lucky you aren't in the UK . Otherwise you might be arrested for hurting her feelings.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a future news report about these dogs attacking someone. Six of these beasts allowed to run freely as a pack? By a woman no less. Would she even have the strength to restrain one? Let alone six of them.

You might have to print it and cut it out.

He said, she said. But if he left a will, her words shouldn't count fore nothing. That villa not enough for her?

I read somewhere that most of that, apart from the Fentanyl Czar had already been agreed in earlier negotiations.

Yes. Going to phone service provider would be the easiest way. TIP. While you are there, check if they have any better packages than your current one. Most times, I always used to find they had some special offers.

If you contact them, they can order for you if they don't have in stock.

I think a lot of the new cartridges contain some sort of chip to control usage and prevent use of unofficial ones. I think my next printer will be one that uses refillable cartridges. I don't think that you will find much of a difference in price, but try invadeit: https://www.invadeit.co.th/category/ink-cartridges-canon/

Trump is a property developer. All he sees is undeveloped land to make money from. Canada, Greenland are money making opportunities for him and his billionaire cronies. Even the Presidency is only a money making opportunity. Look and his and Melania's meme coins, and the fact he keeps holding all his big gatherings at his commercial properties. i.e. Mar-a-Lago. Elon won't be happy either when Canada starts adding 100% tariffs on Tesla cars.

Sounds like Elon Musk's DOGE has acquired access to the Federal Government's databases already. So he has access to a lot of most American's personal data. I wonder how much of that is being copied.

It would have to be pretty deep underground to avoid damage by a nuclear bunker buster bomb. Not sure that I would want to be around to live in a world suffering the after effects of a major nuclear war.

With my daughter learning French and Spanish, and now looking at learning Italian, learning Latin might have been a good aide, seeing as all three have latin roots. it would certainly help with the understanding of many English words that derive from it. A little late in life for me though. It would probably be far more useful to me to have a go at learning Thai, or brush up on my French, which is rapidly receding from memory due to lack of use. Cogito Ergo Sum

I agree that the guy should have minded his own business. But this might help OP for next time big = yai, small = lek

I would have thought daddy would have preferred a prime time slot, such as 8pm Saturday night.

AI can already replicate itself apparently: https://www.livescience.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/ai-can-now-replicate-itself-a-milestone-that-has-experts-terrified It has also learned how to lie and deceive: https://futurism.com/ai-systems-lie-deceive

Much better for him to pull the strings in the background and let his daughter take the credit, but he just cannot help himself.

It says British -Thai, so not totally foreign. Maybe he lives, or even grew up in Thailand. No excuse for driving like that. I 've never been to Pattaya, but I thought the Police there were clamping down on bad driving due to the number of accidents. His parents might be in for a large compensation bill.

Hypothetically. What if Trump tries to do an Erdogan / Putin move? Make himself President for life? He is already mentioning a 3rd term. He has plenty of time to fill posts with his cronies. Unlike most other countries, almost every adult has firearms. This could make for a fiery outcome to say the least. He is already ignoring, or trying to get around the 14th Amendment for US born citizens. Why not the 22nd?

It depends on what you are looking for. Not having a car, motorbike or even a bicycle can make it both difficult and expensive to get about. Traffic is horrendous at the moment as it is high season. Where I live, the traffic is very bad several times a day as the minibuses meet the speedboats and ferries to and from Phangan. NW down to SW side of the island is quieter. Places such as Lipa Noi and Thong Krut are very quiet. Chaweng is the main tourist resort. Very busy, noisy bars and restaurants in the middle part. Though you can find small, cheaper resorts as you move away from the middle. As others have said, better to come and spend some time first. See where you like.

Seeing many Thais don't even have a driving licence of any sort, and often flee the scene of any accident, I don't think they are too bothered whether the law applies to them or not. Many Thais also offer money for minor accidents. Far cheaper and quicker than going through the insurance. Maybe there was more than minor damage here, in which case the foreigner should have offered to go to a bike shop with the guy, and get a quote for repairs, or at least exchanged details to negotiate repair cost. Then no need to involve the Police. Then again, it could be the Thai hoping to milk the guy for a big payout. It was in Phuket after all.

I doubt mask number two in the photo will do any good, if any of them.

They / them will likely learn a harsh lesson if placed in a male prison. Which is where the perv should be sent.

I don't see what's funny about it. How would you feel if in her position?
