UKJASE

did this happen after the toll booth? something similar happened to us near one of the big bridges in bangkok, and i read it happened to many others at that same place. car stops at booth, pays their toll fee, gets clocked by someone and then pursued.....

i am more of a QR code

my wife got shoes sent the other day..... we asked the delivery guy if we could open the box..... there was some sports shoes in the box, the type she would never order. plus she pre pays all her orders. they wanted 350 baht for the shoes, but it was obviously a scam. a bit worrying as they had her name and address

i attempted garden electrics for lights etc, before solar lights and received a few shocks from these. luckily a good safety cut box in the house ensured the shock was only very small. it is essential to have a good safety cut box in the house when it comes to electrics

we drove past a PEA transformer in the street the other day, and as we were alongside it, it exploded with an explosion like a big bomb!! a big flash and a huge noise! luckily we were in the car, but the shock had us both shaking for a few minutes. very scary

very scary what they can do now with technology - no wonder they manage to fool so many people and then they put some of that money back in to inventing more advanced schemes something needs to be done to stop it, and soon

i see fire flys here in hua hin - they sometimes manage to get into the house at night, which is cool 🙂 not sure about glow worms tho - what are they? i once saw the fluorescent plankton type stuff in the surf on chaweng beach - that was amazing!!

the last time i bought on facebook i asked for cash on delivery. the seller said he knew nothing about it, but he spoke to the courier, and they said they could offer it for 150 baht, which i offered to pay. transaction ended up being smooth and the item was a bargain 🙂

the banks need to help vulnerable people more...... this guy has his life savings sitting there, probably for a long time, and he is 74. the bank knows both of these things. he then suddenly wants to move the entire amount to another bank account, in a different name. surely an algorithm could flag up that this was potentially a scam, and the bank manager could put the transfer on hold until it was double checked. it is in the banks interest too to protect its customers

if they are pushy and beautiful and tall, good chance they are a lady boy but as stated already, ask them.... they will normally tell you the truth, and then if you do make a mistake, it's not on you 😄

i have seen better rants from the ex mrs!!

i did a small speech last year at our wedding, and did it in thai. i got a few laughs in the right places, so some of it must have been understood by some 🙂 i wrote mine down in phonetic, and read it from my paper on stage i am not sure you need to learn how to read thai quite yet. just write what you want to say in english, get it translated, write it in phonetic, practice it to someone and see if they can follow what you're saying.... repeat, repeat good luck. i was really pleased i did mine, but as always, a good wedding speech is always quite short

yea dont squirt water into your ear. i got infection from doing this in the shower best way i have found is the ear doc, and her little suction pump that sucks it all out. it can be a little painful, but it is the best way of clearing everything out. only about 600 baht for both ears IIRC in hua hin

do you wash your cars a lot?

uk news still covers covid

it just made my nose throb

anyone on here fancy going and reporting back to everyone else?

no free flights home from IDC...... if you dont have the money, you stay there until you can find it. some people been locked in those 2 cells for years 😞

the timing belt snapped on my chev optra last week...... the car was about 12 years old..... i sold it to the garage for 7,000 baht 250,000 is a crazy price...... that is what i paid for the optra 8 years ago

that is only 0.0025 of a gram?! you lightweight 😉

this link looks good... https://foodess.com/authentic-indian-chai-tea-recipe/ "Chai Tea Spices If you love the flavour of North American coffee-shop chai lattes, you can buy tea masala at any Indian grocer, which is just a ground mixes of sweet spices. I personally find those spice blends usually taste dusty. I prefer to infuse my chai with fresh whole spices instead. Some of the most common spices (masala) used in Indian chai include: cinnamon sticks (or 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon) fresh ginger whole cloves green cardamom pods (or a pinch of ground cardamom) nutmeg allspice star anise fennel black peppercorns"

we pay 13k a year for our accountancy fees previously i had a company, and instead of disolving it, and paying accountant fees, i sold it to a mate for 3000 baht this is a good way of doing it, to save money, but ensure due diligence, as mentioned above also, best to get shareholders who you know (or are family), rather than nominees. my accountant told me yesterday that they recently clamped down on nominee owned companies in koh samui, and were planning on doing it in other areas too you can be director of the company still

were they dead?

thanks for the warning. i am not sure who i hate more than scammers, but the list is quite short!

has anyone ever noticed that one of the other brands of bleach, one of the main ones, not sure on name tho, sorry - leaves a blue stain on the porcelain of the toilet and is nigh on impossible to shift? if the bleach is left for an hour or two, the toilet gets stained! at least it is blue i guess, not yellow :D
