  1. It's not just young people although for adeal of us anyone under 50 is young. Have you not seen the pictures of the different airports in Western cities? They have a kiosk that says leave brain here for safe keeping.
  2. Ekamai on the BTS will get you there lots of busses and vans.
  3. This makes sense Iwould suggest taking it to a place to get repaired adn upgraded you can always use a taxi. Probably safer and more cost effective/.
  4. Partly corrrect. However, if you have money in Canada, chances are you have already been taxed on it, therefore you do not have to pay.
  5. Check your facts it is not just Thai that is raising the price BKK TO LHR 1 way 08 mar THAI 55K EVA (Operated by thai) 105K AC (Operated by thai) 106
  6. I learned from people to always tip no matter what the service was like when I was in Canada and realized that it is just as important here. In Canada he explained you tip to show your reaction to the service and meal. If you don't tip then they don't know. Friends used to laugh at me when i would eat a meal and leave a nickel (5cents) for a meal, While the next restaurant I would leave a dollar at least. Here I find the tipping does as OP says and opens doors. There are many locations that I go to, and I am always greeted warmly and never really have to tell them what I want. I rarely have to walk to the mototaxi stand as when they see me they come and get me. Tipping also ensures that I am not just a Farang and that they treat me better than any joe waling off the street.
  7. The Left believes in the 5 minutes of fame. Say something that they like, and they will champion you for that minute. Then, 5 minutes later, they will stab you and call you a racist and fascist. Somewhere along the line it would be interesting if these people actually picked up a history book. Nazism, which they say TRUMP is involves hatred against Jews and anyone who was not in lock step with their beliefs The same things that they cheer would get them stoned or dead in the countries tht they support. Imagine a boy going into a muslim school and saying he was a girl. Or a man going out of the country, then coming back and declaring himself a woman, and wanting her passport changed, and being able to play women's sports.
  8. I am an unabashed supporter of TRUMP. Do I agree with everything he says. NO But consider that the U.S. had 2 choices in the first round Hillary or TRUMP. Hillary caused people to die in Libya and had the isues with her lack of playing the privaxy game. I wonderhow many emails from Epstein were bleached on her hard drive. You had Trump against Biden in the basement. Do you really believe people would have voted for Joe if they had seen how frail he was? So what does the DNC do but bring back Joe again to defeat TRUMP. We saw how that was and foiund out that Joe was not even running anything. So when it was too obvious they got rid of him. Next was KAMALA, the one who giggled when she had a tough question and felt that everything Joe had done was great. As well as being part of the open borders that have caused so much. Could you really see any world leader taking Kamala seriously, knowing that she was not in charge, she was just the figurehead? She ran an election on celebrities and thinking black voters would vote for her because she was black. Personally, I almost thinthe GOP could have run Francis the talking mule, and he would have beaten her. Trump has tried to bring downt he debt. He has tried to sort out issues, The big problem in the United States, as well as in countries that we know well, is that the lobby groups control a great deal of what happens. When was the last time, other than COVID, that the DNC cut taxes? NYC said they did not like MAGA and brought in Zoran. How is he doing?
  9. no bus to bang san so a definitel no to a lot of thais
  10. I don't see what the issue is frankly I don't mind and it was not a hassle compared to having to drive. A few other sites I use do the same thing. OR Would you rather do the secondary verification where they send you an email with a number.
  11. nikon center at sathorn doesn't have the parts I went there and got told they do not repair old cameras.
  12. I used it for teaching online. Thought I might do some photos with it but yeah it has seen better days LOL. Might take it toa shop and see wha I can getofr it on trade in.
  13. My question to you is simple. If you are looking for a table by yourself then why did youeven go into the restaurant. You can tell from the door and simply turn around and go to a different restaurant.
  14. I don't go anywhere tha doesn't take cash
  15. Seems that Nikon can't repair my d5500 anyone know wheremight get it fixed in Bangkok pathum thani areain
  16. You don't have a probelm if CASH IS KING Even when I go on holidays the PP,CC and bank cards stay in the room locked int he safe
  17. Just wondering when you do the annual trip who does th talking with immigration you or your wife?
  18. In a sense it is good that this stuff is finding it's way to beaches That is less crap flaoting around in the ocean.
  19. There is no way he is going to raise major issues. Anything that might be detrimental to BJT or could cause his party to lose more seats is not in their favour. PT must sit back and be quiet at least until the big leader gets out of jail.
  20. BOB was/is someone who posts on here quite regularly with different handles or names. He is always interesting, but is a sort of troll. You can get more info from some of the longer-standing members I would suggest tht probably it was before your time.
  21. Naw I thought they were talking about BOB
  22. In probably the best move posible the Ford government has cancelled access to the OSAP student loans. Thsi cuts out a lot of money that students got and never repaid. To give you an idea of what it was like, Johnny decides he wants to go to Queens and take a BA course in history. He is only going because he really does not want to get a job, and it is the only alternative. Queen's is chosen because Kingston has a wild party scene and lots of great bars. Johny needs spending money, so he applies for an Ontario Student Assistance Plan. He is accepted, and the cheques come at the right time as he is running low on funds. Friday, he goes to the bar and with his friends that have a great time. Unfortunatley Johny forgets that he has classes and flunks out of Queens in the winter. He stillhas the debt but does not have to repay it and just lives his life. The Ontario government has finally removed that and students are upset, but it is going to mean less students getting free rides not a bad thing PS the alternative in the 70's to going out and spending it on booze and female students was buying the most Kick ass stereo system they could find for the dorm Stereo party wars LOL Maybe all governments should consider reducing the amount of funding provided or restricting it to certain areas of study. Imagine Somchai gets a loan to spend 5 years learning English at a university here. Where does he get a job with just a BA in English.
