  1. Coco Tams is packed around 7pm every night for dinner. They are queueing sometimes across the road outside to get in.
  2. If the proverbial **** does hit the fan, China will try to expand. I wonder if North Korea, would feel emboldened as well.
  3. Have they notified those whose information has been taken? What with having to provide passport details nowadays, and perhaps bank details, they hold a lot of personal info.
  4. GF's little girl, whenever she saw a temple fair, used to point and say, " Look! Monk party!" ???? She also once asked, " Why do policemen drink beer and play cards?" Very astute.
  5. There are other threads on here about similar problems receiving OTP's on a foreign number. That's why I keep a UK phone number on a minimum plan. Can you sign in online via a browser? Or will you still need an OTP to do that?
  6. USPS with Track and Trace so you can follow it online with the tracking number. Describe contents in a vague generic way, with small value. e.g. drive 5 dollars. or usb 5 dollars
  7. And the GBP and other European currencies will weaken due to the threat of any war expanding.
  8. In case you are interested. Thai are still flying direct BKK-LHR-BKK. i have done two return flight to the UK in the last three months. In fact just finished my second Test & Go quarantine today. As far as lifting restrictions is concerned, they might, but it only takes another variant to raise its head and all bets are off.
  9. +1. And will probably be drinking and driving again in the very near future.
  10. Probably drop shippers. They advertise goods, then order them themselves once they get your order. If difficult to get, they are all in the same boat and cannot supply. I have had a few fakes arrive. A Nokia phone. Crocs flip flops and a few other bits. The price is normally the giveaway, but not always.
  11. I wonder if this is the same guy that used to be seen driving around Samui a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C37KmjiFzc
  12. From monkhood to inmate. Well. You know what they say. "One door closes, another opens."
  13. A few weeks ago our 9 y.o. (non vacc'd) went down with Covid. A week later, GF. Even though triple vacc'd (2 x Sino, 1 x AZ), I. (2 x AZ, 1 x Pf) Panicking as had just booked and paid for a trip home, nothing. Tested every day ATK and a couple of PCRs. All negative. Even though had been in close contact. Don't know why I wasn't infected. Must have had the good stuff.
  14. It's not an extreme speculation to imagine that anyone with 1M dollars could get 5% per annum investment return easy. Thats 50,000USD per year minus tax to live on in Thailand and not work at all. All the while, the money is safer in home country. Why risk it?
  15. Three nautical miles? Looking at that photo. The oil is already on the beach and along the waterline.
  16. Asking someone to "Come on" and fight while you are wearing glasses is not the cleverest move.
  17. The other thing to look into if you make a lot of calls is a VOIP service provider.
  18. From 11th Feb, no testing whatsoever for UK according to gov't website.
  19. Just flew back to London on Thai. It was a lot busier than the last one I took in November., but still not full. Mainly tourists heading home from holiday, but a lot of Thais on board as well. It does have one advantage in being the only direct flight to the UK at the moment.
  20. If he has caught high ranking, or fellow officer's wives or family, That naval discipline might be rather severe.
  21. Several times I have tried to sign up for Lazada Wallet on my laptop. Usually after getting a refund for a returned order. I always got a message along the lines of "Sorry but foreigners cannot have Lazada Wallet. Only Thais." so have usually settled for a voucher. I have also read threads here on TV or AN as it now is, about the same thing, a failure to accept foreign registrations. Well today I tried via the app on my phone, and lo and behold I suceeded. So it seems that it is indeed possible. Spoiler alert. Lazada is a Chinese company so some might not feel comfortable providing passport details. But it seems like it is at last possible via the app.
  22. Was planning a trip to Koh Madsum, aka Piggy Island. Someone told me that all the pigs on Koh Madsum had recently died. Possibly due to a virus. Has anyone heard anything about this? If true, I wonder if COVID related.
