  1. There is a young lad who wrote some software that tracks Elon Musk's private jet, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Drake: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/feb/02/teen-tracking-elon-musk-jet-bill-gates-jeff-bezos-drake-jack-sweeney-tesla-flight-tracker-bot Get him on the case.
  2. Google Thantakit Dental. Or visit https://www.thantakit.com
  3. +1. I often order Heinz Baked Beans and soups, and Haywards Piccallili from them. There is also another shop on there called Brit Shop. The only reason I think the OP can't find his desired foods in Tops or Big C is because of shortages due to logistic problems, bad weather and / or Christmas. Many Brits have arrived in Thailand and have buying up their favourites for the Christmas period. I haven't seen Kallo Chicken stock cubes or Heinz Beans in any supermarket for months. Also haven't seen any cucumbers since November.
  4. 5 million will buy a lot of Tea.
  5. If it indeed happens, I expect to see motorbike accidents and deaths go up. Hordes of two up Chinese tourists on scooters who have never ridden in their lives, negotiating Thailand's roads. One shakily driving, while the one on the back gives directions from their mobile phone. Admittedly, some blame goes to the rental shops, but I wonder how easy it is in China to get a Driving Licence without any driving or riding experience.
  6. Receipts don't matter. It's the Blue Book that denotes ownership. If you can't do a deal to get it back, park it outside her house, drain the engine oil, and walk away. Or maybe start running up parking tickets.
  7. I don't keep any funds in Wise. I just set up the transfer on the app or website, (They won't send their money to your account until they get your's.), then transfer from my bank acc to theirs. They send acknowledgement that they have received my money and that they will start their transfer. Of course. If you have one of their multi currency accounts with debit card you can keep money there,
  8. Haven't I see that surname on here before? Was it a young 16 y.o. girl that had a really bad car crash? Added to someone's name to show descended from a royal bloodline.
  9. There was another poster discussing his prostate problems on here and treatment a week or so ago. Maybe search for that. Might help you. Edit: Just had a quick look. I think this was it: https://aseannow.com/topic/1274732-rezum-experience/#comment-17663937
  10. I don't know about outside, but the Novotel Suvarnabhumi Hotel is only about 700 meters away. You might be able to take the shuttle bus there. https://www.novotelairportbkk.com/the-hotel/gallery/
  11. If it makes it more likely to catch a criminal, I don't see that it would cause any prejudice. Male, Caucasian, approx 200lbs, wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt would be more effective than just male blue jeans and t-shirt. In fact it could prevent wrongful arrest. Far better to give as much information as possible to catch an offender.
  12. +1 for Lazada. I bought a Xiaomi 4. The bigger one. Can't remember which exact model offhand. Filter supposed to last for a year.
  13. Exactly. How does a suspicious looking backpack differ from a normal one. More likely a tip off that he was carrying. The gold plated gun screams drug dealer or mafia. As for the imitation snakeskin jacket. That is an offence in itself! ????
  14. The inevitable pickup truck losing control on a bend. But not his fault. he was trying to avoid another motorbike when he lost control. I read that as trying to overtake a motorbike on a bend. There is a real me, me, me attitude on the roads here. Very little road courtesy.
  15. No.4. Advocate good driving? How about getting out and enforcing the road laws? Advocating hasn't stopped the crazy drivers, driving without a licence or insurance, death traps on the road etc. Why can they do checkpoints for drug checks and crash helmets, but not for driving licences or insurance?
  16. Exactly! He must have upset a lot of people.
  17. With all the recent bad weather, if lines are run on poles, strong wind can cause problems. I rarely have problems with 3BB, but did last weekend.
  18. Have you tried updating the HiLink 3? Or googling for how to update it? I just found these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttkiXzF8Gjo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxB8oQo1Bc8 https://www.huaweiflashfiles.com/2015/11/huawei-e303-hilink-firmware-update.html You might find more. HTH
  19. Have you updated your Line app? Sometimes they fix bugs. There was an update for bug fixes today. Also, maybe get together with someone and try calling them when you are next to one another. Obviously make sure you are both using the latest version. There is a LINE call center that you can contact for further help. 02-023-9999 https://contact-cc.line.me.th Not sure if English is available, so you might need a Thai speaker to help.
  20. Perhaps there were personal circumstances that prevented him from extending. We don't know. 38 days isn't the end of the world, but immigration will do their job and he will be gone.. Not a nice Christmas for the old fellow, and not a good time to be sent back to the UK with all the cold weather and strikes.
  21. There is an anti fungal pill you can get called Damisil. But better to see a doctor first.
  22. I always hand over my boarding card with my passport to the IO on arrival. On the occasions I haven't, I have been asked for it. Because the OP only showed the second leg boarding card, they probably wanted to see his original point of departure. They don't do the landing cards anymore, so how else would they know?
  23. I understood that all flights BKK-USM-BKK were fully booked until after the New Year. So how these tourists are going to find seats I don't know. Unless BKK Air lays on extra flights. I have a friend flying to Thailand today, but he has to stay two days in BKK due to all Samui flights being full. Seat booked for Friday. i have noticed shortages of many goods in all the supermarkets recently. Either due to logistic problems or just being snapped up by all the tourists here for the Christmas holidays.
  24. I have been both visiting and living in Thailand since the early '90's. Also visited several other Asian countries. Including quite a few Philippine destinations. Perhaps it's because I tend to stay mainly in tourist areas, but even when I have ventured further afield I can't recall ever feeling like the 'token' white guy. Had a few double takes. But that's to be expected. Friendly people saying hello or asking where I am from. Never been asked to pose for photos. Maybe they can surmise that I would charge them. ???? Rural China might be a different kettle of fish. But I haven't been there.
