Samui is now full of long staying Russians. So much so that someone in the property rental business told me they don't have enough property to keep up with demand. The international schools now have a large contingent of Russian children and the shopping malls and gyms are full of them. One even told a friend that living here is like being in Russia, but by the sea. Nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't want to be there with all the economic sanctions biting or the threat of being called up to fight a war.

Not that I have anything to hide, but I always have a little check around hotels rooms for any hidden cameras. Apparently quite a lot found in airb'n'b rentals.

Wasn't that some Coco job? -
Marijuana shop closed for 30 days after police bust gamblers playing poker

Another reason to close them down. Smoking cannabis leads to gambling. -
Give her the second one that you already have and buy yourself a new one. No new smell in that one.

Tourism Travel – The Seaplane Aviation Solution
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
Bangkok to Hua Hin. 45 mins USD 3000 one way? As soon as I saw that cabin configuration I thought it would be expensive. Still, I suppose for some people the convenience will be worth it. -
Gum pain even after more than 1 year after the dental crown
phetphet replied to Lim Yuan Hai's topic in Health and Medicine
The dentist should be able to remove the crown. I think the adhesive they use is sensitive to certain wavelengths of light, so they can shine a particular light on the crown and it softens the glue so they can remove it. Have a look at Thanatakit International Dental in Bangkok https://www.thantakit.com They do crowns, and implants. I have used them and was happy with their work. -

Chinese Tourist Allegedly Slashed by Tour Operator in Phuket

Surely it would only be self defence if the tourist attacked her. Not because she feared he might. -

Do I go on a Diet or follow this Expat advice .
phetphet replied to tomgreen's topic in Health and Medicine
Its not just about diet. You need to do a little exercise. Even if it is just some walking. Listening to people with the mindset that it is too late in life to change will do you no good. You will of course also have to acknowledge that some of the foods you love are not good for you, and will have to either cut them right out, or keep them as special treats in your diet plan. e.g. I have a sweet tooth and love chocolate, but it makes me pile on the pounds. I therefore cut it out. I still eat sweet things, but mainly fruit. I can't speak for others, but what I do is make up a big bowl of mixed salad. Cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, carrot, red cabbage, apple, celery and lettuce. This lasts me three or four days. I eat it with some protein: chicken, salmon, steak. Sometimes add a little strong cheddar. This works for me, but in addition I do exercise. I am ten years younger than you, and try to exercise Monday-Friday. You can google "Youtube + exercise for the elderly" for lots of videos and advice on that matter. HTH -
Where to meet Hiso Thai women?
phetphet replied to coloneloftruth's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I'm confused by this whole post. If the OP is asking where to meet hiso women, why would he need help from, "Somebody with resources to call in favors, threaten, good lawyers, etc,.)? That would be enough to scare off any woman. Maybe Chuwit could help. -
Internet banking change.
phetphet replied to owl sees all's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Send out enough fake webpages of bank X, and you are bound to hit many of their customers. These scammers take advantage of people, usually the elderly, that may not be adept with modern technology, and may not know to verify an email's source. They use social engineering and tricks to play on their fears that their money is being stolen. That fear, when told that they are being robbed instills a sense of urgency. People panic and may click on an innocent looking QR Code in the belief that it is from their bank. Not realising the consequences. -

And in another security warning, it seems thieves and scammers have been altering QR Codes. They then put them into pages that copy genuine bank sites with security warnings etc. If anyone scans the QR Code, it gives the scammers access to that phone, including banking. This gives some advice on how to spot them: https://www.aura.com/learn/fake-qr-code-scams
