    Able to swim or not, kids will be kids and often play by rivers, lakes, ponds etc. Not forgetting the amount of coastline Thailand has. Just being able to doggy paddle a few yards can be enough to save someone's life. I'm more surprised it's just one school doing this.

    Was watching reruns of Justifed, starring Timothy Oliphant as US. Marshal Raylan Givens and came across a new series called Justified: City Primeval, in which Oliphant reprises the same character. Just watched first three episodes and its shaping up to be pretty good.

    All about money. Not just Russian tourists, but trade as well.

    Why not take the postman along. Seems like a friendly chap.

    The ones that deliver to me are usually so busy that they phone ahead and say, "I have package. Will leave in security box in 5 minutes." If I am there to collect it, they will give to me. If not, it will be in the security box. But maybe your one is building up to ask you for a loan.

    But what is the rationale in not increasing the fee for Thais if Thai price hasn't increased for 15 years either?

    Maybe try Tops supermarket. Our local one has a bakery and they often sell burger buns. Individually, not packed. They also sell brioche loaves, so you could perhaps try asking the baker about brioche rolls.

    I don't know. They seem to like the Thai seafood buffet. ????

    Good luck, however you proceed. But it might be time to tell the wife to give up on her restaurant business if it is bleeding money that bad.

    As far as the woman of the house knows. ????

    Are you sure it is the landlord who is holding the deposits and not the letting agent? if they are holding them and are trying to keep them, that may be why they don't want you talking to the landlord.

    I agree. I was reading an article where it said that scammers are even changing QR codes in public places. So even scanning a QR code, let's say for example in a coffee shop advertising "Scan this for 25% off your next order, could lead to people being scammed.

    The government really needs to educate the population on these sort of scams. People are becoming more aware, but I feel these type of scams and how to avoid them should be publicised a lot more. The explosion of digital banking since covid has opened people up to these sort of stings as almost everyone now has banking apps on their phones.

    I saw a Youtube video a few months ago. An 84 year old American doctor who was still weight training and had good muscle mass and definition. But he was taking supplements including testosterone to help maintain this. Can't remember his name or find the video.

    Have you tried googling "accommodation in "name of town"? Many smaller places might often have a small website where you can book direct.

    "Luvly jubbly boys. We'll soon be rolling in it." Or feel free to add your own caption.

    Similar to previous poster NextG, AIS sell packages using 003 and 005 prefixes. Or maybe buy a Skype package. https://www.ais.th/en/consumers/package/international/international-call/003 https://www.ais.th/en/consumers/package/international/international-call/00500 https://www.skype.com/en/features/call-phones-and-mobiles/

    I've done it for the last two or three years here in Samui. Getting it done at Kasikorn is no problem. I think it is to do with ensuring the 800,000 hasn't dropped in the required periods.

    Are Tops taking over the Family Mart outlets? I have noticed in the last few weeks two new Tops Daily outlets opening. each one replacing a former Family Mart. One in Choengmon and the other on the ring road heading up the hill to Makro, on the corner of Soi Phra Khao?

    To be fair, that food section is pretty small.

    That's how scammers work. They prey on people who lack the knowledge of how these things work. Many lose their life savings. She didn't just download the app. She was persuaded to by someone that she genuinely thought was from the Land Department, who had many of her personal details. I doubt she would have done so if she had any inkling it was a scam.

    Whatever they do to Pita and MFP to stop them might come back to bite them at the next election in 5 years. By then MFP or what ever new party they form might not only have PIta campaigning for change, but also Thanathorn, whose ban from politics should be expired. Imagine those two together, pushing the "Remember how we were cheated last time narrative".

    it's a little early to say that. Let's see how the Prime Ministerial election dust settles first.

    Twix has been on the missing list for ages. Found some Bounty bars the other day though.

    What with shaving a bit of foam off the seat, and putting on skinny wheels, I think adding a noisy exhaust is all about gaining a fraction more horsepower. Gotta impress the girls.
