Snails also leave a slimy trail behind them. I'm surprised they don't have CCTV in the building for security. -
How do you pay?
phetphet replied to garygooner's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
But it is the Government (in fact most governments) that want to create a cashless society, as (a) it gives far more control over it's citizens, and (b) it can see where all the money goes, and tax it, confiscate it, or take away your right to spend it how you please. -
Prime Minister in Tears Over Tragic Bangkok School Bus Fire
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As much as I don't think she should be Prime Minister, you cannot know how she feels. The death of those young children in the manner in which they died is a very sad, and obviously upsetting occurrence for anyone that reads about it. She won't be the only one shedding tears. -
Thailand welcomes Google's US$1 billion investment in data center
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Will it be a 51% - 49% split in favour of Thailand? How do these things work at such a large scale with multinational corporations? -
What a horrible accident. Being young children under the care of others only makes it worse. Normally these type of buses have little hammer like window breakers situated around the bus to aid escape. I wonder if this one had them, and if it did, whether the teachers knew what they were for and how to use them, because the youngsters were probably too young to know. Even then, it seems a long drop from those windows to the road.

Thai Airways flight runs off runway in Bangkok storm scare

The article mentions that visibility was reduced, so maybe the pilot was doing a manual landing, which might explain why the aircraft veered off. -
Used car market in a jam as electric vehicles spark trouble
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The question is, will second hand car dealers really bite the bullet and drop their prices as the market dictates? Second hand cars have always seemed ridiculously over priced here. -
Husband Assaults Wife Over Delayed 10,000 Baht Digital Funds Transfer
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Along with the guy that fell into the canal the other day, we can pretty much see what all these THB10,000s is going to be spent on. Ah well. It's not as if we didn't see it coming. -
Feel sorry for AN posters who bought electric
phetphet replied to Celsius's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Too many people fell for the "electric cars are greener" mumbo jumbo. They are not. They have just moved the polluting point from the engine to the battery. As a result of the rapid growth of electric cars, there is now a time bomb on the horizon of what to do with old battery packs. Only a small percentage are currently recycled, and many of these are from car accidents where the batteries are damaged and the car manufacturers don't want to use them. . Others are reused or repurposed. But what happens to the ones that are broken down? I saw a video that stated that currently over 95% of old batteries from electric vehicles end up in landfill. Not so "green" when you take that into account if true.- 314 replies

I like the French accent, but not so much the stronger southern French accent. I also what is described as Received Pronunciation English. Also the Cornish accent. I did read somewhere that the accent in the south west of England is the one nearest to Old English, as would have been spoken in Shakespeare's time.

I have bought sims on Lazada from MELONTHAI without problem. But make sure you get one that suits your / his needs. A lot of the descriptions are in Thai, so if you don't read it, you will need to use Google Translate. Also, you might have to go along to the SIM provider's (AIS, DTAC etc) outlet with ID card to get the SIM activated.

Looking for 6/7 seaters car in thailand
phetphet replied to Xisnow's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Honda used to do a 7-seater BR-V and CR-V, but price range might prove difficult. Nissan or Mitsubishi do the Xpander. Again, price range will limit your choice. -
Getting a credit card

Kasikorn used to do a K-Web Virtual Card for online shopping. They changed it last year. I'm not sure what they have now. -

3 year old Thai girl sexually assaulted by foreign man in Phuket

If it was him, hopefully modern DNA techniques will shut down his denial and any doubt of guilt, and then they can nail him to the wall. -
Thailand to abolish hefty import tariff on wine
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not sure how it works so will ask: Do the supermarkets and wine merchants all pay their tax up front to the Thai gov't after importation? Because if so, they might have to sell their old stock first before they drop the price. -
Maybe ask here on AN for recommendations for a good dentist in your area first, pick one, then go and discuss with them your options.

Pit Bull Attacks & Kills 67-Year-Old Woman Cycling in Pathum Thani
phetphet replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
I wonder if dog's owner be held responsible and punished in any way for the poor lady's death. I doubt it. She would probably get worse here for writing a bad restaurant review.
