  1. All those tourists that are coming for Christmas will just love reading this. TAT: Come to Thailand. Have a great time. Energy Ministry: In bed by 9pm please. We are closing the bars and shops. ???? Don't forget to turn off the Christmas lights!!
  2. October is wet season here in Samui, and can sometimes rain through to mid January. Don't know if it's due to climate change , but hasn't been too bad the last two years. I can remember people kayaking on Chaweng beach road several years ago, and even seeing Chaweng lake burst its banks. If you want almost guaranteed sunshine, better wait until February before coming here.
  3. Depends where you shop, and what you tend to eat. Tops? or Talad? Flash restaurant? Or local Thai food shack? But in general Samui is expensive because it is an island. Therefore greater shipping costs. Fuel and ferries.
  4. No consideration that his potential customers are suffering those same rising costs then. As long as he isn't losing any of his billions.
  5. If you also want it for protection, one of these might do: https://www.etsy.com/market/knobkerrie
  6. Don't worry. China is waiting and ready to step into the void left by all the woke countries.
  7. I thought it was a polite way of saying he was taking a dump.
  8. I also have Surfshark. Happy with it.
  9. Upset the neighbours with his behaviour, and they reported him. Then causes a stand off with the police and tries to pull down power lines. Doesn't say how long the couple had overstayed, but he certainly hasn't done his case any good if he he had any chance of returning sometime in the future. The IO stated likely deported and blacklisted.
  10. I bought my PCX about a year ago. Paid cash and got the white plate in a month. But in other years when buying new bikes, have waited up to three months.
  11. Should arrange a match with that other Youtuber / boxer, Jake Paul.
  12. I suppose it depends whereabouts in the Philippines you go. I have been to Cebu, Bohol, Dumaguete, Siquijor, Puerto Galera, Guimaras and Boracay in the early 2000's. Admittedly, mainly for diving so we were not doing much nightlife, and some of these places were very quiet apart from Boracay. Never experienced or saw any trouble anywhere. Flew from BKK into Cebu then, though not sure if still possible. I would avoid Manila like the plague. Too much crime, too many bad stories.
  13. Just some suggestions: Are you doing your phone banking from a Thai phone number? That might be your problem. Same if you are doing online banking. It might be worth trying with a VPN set to UK. I keep a phone with a UK number which is registered with my bank and I use that for receiving OTP's or phone banking. Almost impossible to open a new UK bank account without a registered UK address nowadays. They often want proof of address such as a current UK driving licence or Council Tax bill. If you can hide the fact that you are not in the UK, and also provide required documents, you might get away with it.
  14. You could also check out the other providers. They might offer a better deal. You should still be able to keep your current number when changing to AIS or DTAC.
  15. Just google "Samui drone photography" and Samui aerial photography and you will get some hits. There used to be a guy that regularly posted his videos and photos on the site. posted under name philthebook I think. He was fully licensed to fly drones here, and often did aerial work for hotels, resorts, and for roof inspections I believe.. Search for his name here and you could possibly PM him and ask him. Others may know his company name and contact details
  16. OP. Here's one for THB 899. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/4g-4g-router-wifi-wi-fi-300mbps-4g-lte-sim-card-wireless-i3320672404-s12301069860.html?clickTrackInfo=undefined&search=1&spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.i40.67c11f83vZU1kE
  17. You should go to True and ask them for an addon internet package to your SIM. Better yet. Seeing as these companies are always offering deals, just ask them to look at your current package and see if they have any better deals that include internet access for you.
  18. No rain today, but smog from Indonesia or maybe Vietnam the last three or four days.
  19. Daughter counted 16 shops selling cannabis as I drove along Chaweng Beach Road in Samui the other day. They are popping up everywhere. There must certainly be a large demand.
  20. I saw it is mentioned for several months now in my online banking page. Something along the lines of K-bank will be introducing a new shopping card. Customers will be able to apply for it once issued. I didn't see anything about a fee.
  21. Finder > Macintosh HD > System > Applications
  22. I think their cards might work with TPN Union Pay system.
