She will have to work hard to win her first spelling medal to pin on that ribbon she is wearing.

It looks like a fungus. Have you seen "The Last Of Us"?

I can't give a recommendation as I haven't yet used the one that I bought off Lazada, but there are plenty on there. More like plates than proper stone ones. Mine is a cheap so called "Diamond" whetstone. iOne of these might suit your needs. Mine is similar to this: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i4427334818-s17713129824.html?c=&channelLpJumpArgs=&clickTrackInfo=query%3Adiamond%2Bwhetstone%3Bnid%3A4427334818%3Bsrc%3ALazadaMainSrp%3Brn%3A23e97843fcb9d5f1a2571efe20a45f56%3Bregion%3Ath%3Bsku%3A4427334818_TH%3Bprice%3A64.27%3Bclient%3Adesktop%3Bsupplier_id%3A100192737143%3Bbiz_source%3Ah5_internal%3Bslot%3A2%3Butlog_bucket_id%3A470687%3Basc_category_id%3A10100179%3Bitem_id%3A4427334818%3Bsku_id%3A17713129824%3Bshop_id%3A2313881%3BtemplateInfo%3A107882_D_E%23-1_A3_C%231103_L%23&freeshipping=1&fs_ab=2&fuse_fs=&lang=en&location=China&price=64.27&priceCompare=skuId%3A17713129824%3Bsource%3Alazada-search-voucher%3Bsn%3A23e97843fcb9d5f1a2571efe20a45f56%3BoriginPrice%3A6427%3BdisplayPrice%3A6427%3BsinglePromotionId%3A-1%3BsingleToolCode%3AmockedSalePrice%3BvoucherPricePlugin%3A0%3Btimestamp%3A1751644482680&ratingscore=4.809523809523809&request_id=23e97843fcb9d5f1a2571efe20a45f56&review=44&sale=316&search=1&source=search&spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.2&stock=1 Or try here: https://www.hachanna.co.th/en/categories/whetstone-and-accessories.html

Easy for you to say. A lot of your hotels, airlines and tourist businesses do. Or at least taking their money. I bet they wish they were coming now.

I have a Bangkok Bank mobile banking app. I use it to scan QR codes everywhere to make payments, both in person or online. SCB, KBank, and most banks have them. Have you looked at KBank's K PLUS app? Not sure if any good for business, but it let's you scan QR codes, and do most online banking. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bbl.mobilebanking&hl=en-US https://play.google.com/store/apps/details

Thais ride or drive everywhere, even 50 metres to the 7-11. Their food is mostly fried, loaded with sugar, and washed down with sugar laden drinks. Even their somtum salad is full of sugar. You only have to look at the food stalls in many of those night markets to see what they are eating. I think it is mainly due to lack of money so they eat cheap, and many families have both parents working and don't have the time or energy to cook at home. Funnily enough this obesity doesn't seem to affect the Burmese workers I see in their construction camps or on the back of pick up trucks. Men and women all slim..

The operatives words are in the title, "Trump Says." Let's see if it is officially signed as a deal rather than taking one of his ego boosting posts as truth.

Or Eau de Big Mac..

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..

What exactly were those Chinese guys who were arrested trying to remove from the site? And why?

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.

Usufruct?

Guns? Phones? Murder? Sounds more like the Mafia that the clergy.

This is life in many cities around the world.

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? 😁

It must be the stress of the ride across the Channel in those flimsy, packed boats.

This will really help increase the tourist numbers, and the health of the nation.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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/

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.

So much jealousy in this thread.😀
