  1. The formula I'd seen was half your age plus 7. The plus 10 doesn't work too well for younger ages, and my woman just fits the plus 7 rule. Although there will be many other factors, including shorter than her man, longer hair, bigger boobs, plus it helps if she likes you 😀
  2. Looks great 👍. Well done!
  3. The UK and it's porous borders should be a warning to Thailand to be more selective about who they let into the country.

    No problem in Bangkok today, no queues and diesel and petrol available. Just a sign saying they will not fill cans. But I heard from a friend in Chaiyaphum that they could not buy diesel and petrol was limited to 300 THB.
  5. My experience of Thai doctors are that they are basically sales people for the private hospitals. They ask just enough questions to match a service to any health concerns ..... MRI, tests, treatments, etc .... even if you just went in for an annual check up.
  6. More Labour government gaslighting. Any stats they can find that show illegal immigrants are not the problem will be highlighted in parliament to mask the real issues of concern to most people. Womens Day should have been about the growth of a misogynistic religion and the covering up of the grooming gang scandal, but instead they trawled up some stats about an issue where the government is powerless to have any impact.
  7. Partly - but lack of support for the people with incompatible phones, no screens available and illogical listing of countries in drop-downs are Thailand issues. It's not reasonable to assume every traveller with a valid visa/passport would be aware of an additional requirement. Also, I don't think any of the people I saw were doing 'border bounces' - they were probably tourists touring around SE Asia. By comparison, the online system for Lao worked perfectly. The TDAC App is not intuitive and it fails on older phone. In my case I had forgotten to complete it in advance, and luckily I could use my phone, but trying to complete a badly designed App in a rush, in a crowded visa hall, needed 4 attempts due to it's poor design, and for others the lack of screens at land borders is a critical issue. Issues like this will not help Thai tourism.
  8. TDAC at a land crossing - quite a few foreigners still having issues, me included. Quick trip into Laos by road, and I'd forgotten about the TDAC. Problem 1 - No internet. I'd switched off my data roaming, but phone kept connecting to Lao Com .... So no internet. Phone restart forced a connection to AIS Problem 2 - Second Traveller The form seems to expect a second traveller, but I was travelling solo, and I couldn't see how to get rid of the second traveller entry screen without having to start all over again? On third go just ignored all the 'red star' fields for second traveller and moved on. Problem 3 - Finding the UK in the country list (I wish we had one, consistent name for Britain and British) Problem 4 - For travellers with no internet or smartphone ....... I was OK, but there was one guy with an old Blackberry who was stumped, plus a lady who's older smartphone kept freezing half way through. Without any screens to use (as in airports) they were stuck. The Immigration Officers were not interested in helping them. System is almost 12 months old now, but still seems to be a few issues.
  9. Finding the right woman is key. A good woman will understand she needs to add value to the relationship. Keep herself in shape and look after her health and the health of her husband. Manage the house if she's not working, manage the housekeeper if she is. Mine's still looking hot, works in our business part time to help financially and looks after me full time. In Thailand women also know they can be replaced with a willing, younger model.
  10. The Police Officer bought the last cheese toastie.
  11. I use the latest threads view to see what's new, I don't look individually at each specific category. Also, every thread, no matter what the subject, ends up with a comment about Trump and degenerates into a slanging match.
  12. For me, the endless bickering about non-Thai politics has diluted the value of AN. I joined ThaiVisa/AN for Thailand related information and discussion, and if I was interested, I could read informed political debate on many other sites dedicated to international affairs.
  13. The OP is just a Troll trying to wind us all up. Nobody really believes all these grooming gangs members and benefit scroungers arriving at Dover illegally are refugees fleeing war 😅
  14. "Scuzzy" - Dirty and unpleasant. Although I visited Jomtien last week (slept in a hotel rather than on the beach) and I thought it was pleasant and an improvement on my previous visit some years ago. New pavements along the beach, new sand, rubbish had been cleared in the morning and a few new restaurants. Phuket is definitely scuzzier.
  15. MBK mall gets regular 'raids' from the police, goods get confiscated, stalls closed, then the cycle starts again.
