I won't go through all of your complaints, but if by mega shopping apps, you mean Lazada, you can avoid a lot of the problems by buying from the "Official" or "Flagship" stores on the site. Many major companies have their own stores on Lazada. Also. It is very easy to buy from Amazon. I often buy from both Amazon UK and Amazon US. I haven't yet tried Amazon SG, but that is probably just as easy.

Victim was probably in shock and panicking. Though probably would have been better if possible, to grab his nuts and squeeze for dear life.

I always just take a photocopy of the Blue book for our building, along with a passport photocopy to Immigration.

<deleted> me. Another one. Perhaps you should read the whole thread too! You are fourth one to tell me. Sorry, but I missed the link to the Thaiger story.

I know. Several others have already commented. I didn't see the link.

She should check to see if the shop has CCTV.

All those teens being given 10,000 baht. All the cannabis shops must be rubbing their hands in anticipation....unless the gov't changes the law and clamp down on them first.

Yes, but how much did they actually pay out? I read somewhere THB 1Million for each person killed. Add to that possible medical costs, and Tourist Assistance Fund or not, the government's bill couldn't have been very large. Tourism fee for Emergency medical insurance and "other benefits". Other benefits for who?

Its all OK being on one's own and living the good life. No arguments or few worries, come and go as you please. I did it myself. But get sick, or have an accident that might immobilise you for months, and then you find that having someone there to take care of you, someone that genuinely cares for you, is a godsend. Of course, that goes both ways in a relationship. Helping one another.

On a rough estimate, a billion THB is around 23 million GBP. Even THB 100,000/month and buying a few Audis, BMW's, Merc's, Louis Vuitton handbags, and paying for a THB300,000 operation wouldn't put much of a dent in that. She must have been siphoning off big time. I wonder how she tricked him into selling his property.

I disagree that scan and pay is quicker than cash. Especially in my local Tops. Usually the delay is on the cashiers side, with the machines taking time to do the transaction and print the acceptance receipt. But also I often find the wifi to be sketchy and override my 5G phone service. I then have to manually switch off wifi and wait for the transaction to go through over the phone network. i often feel like I am holding up the queue when using scan and pay. Never feel like that with cash. i do wonder if any particular bank's scan and pay is better than the others. I use BKKBK.

Social media is all abuzz with this news. ????

OP. Why not go to a police station in Pattaya, explain the situation and ask if they can help or advise? I'm sure there will be more English speaking officers there. Maybe they could even call the police station where the report was made.

Many Thai electricians don't, so I imagine Thai mechanics evens less so.

I doubt he will go to a detention centre if found guilty. Seeing as he suffers from psychiatric problems he would likely be detained in some sort of facility where he could be both treated and secured. I wonder. Would Thailand accept a plea on the grounds of 'diminished responsibility?'

Should come online in a around 4-5 years time.

Not beyond my means It's my choice. I pay for plenty of other TV streaming services including Apple and Netflix. I just don't feel the need to pay for Youtube. If I wanted, I could use an Adblocker. Just doesn't bother me that much.

Came across this article yesterday. About how many of those common Android boxes seem to have malware on them. https://apple.news/AvN29TT21TbyhJ1Y7Vt1I3w

Lots of educational videos on Youtube. Learn a language, maths, how to's etc. I agree that the adverts are annoying, but I am not prepared to pay for "Premium" so understand that I have to put up with them. There are some Ad Blockers that work with Youtube, but I just can't be bothered. I don't take any notice of most advertising anyway. Just go and make a cup of tea or have a quick browse on my phone whilst they are showing.

Too easy for Thais to get guns. Plus, with the loss of face thing, and the way some of them can blow their top at the slightest perceived slur, I am surprised it doesn't happen more often.

7-11 must be dreading their future wage bill if this happens.

Perhaps he wants you to brush up on your mathematical skills.

Or preferred choice.

Bringing a chunk of cash back whenever returning to home country could keep total annual bank transfers for living below any taxable level. it wouldn't necessary have to be a really large sum

Doesn't this guy have anything better to do with his time?
