  1. It is a pain in the asset when people get in line, get to the cash, figure out what they want to order, and then figure out how to buy a Coke with the digital wallet. The other side of things is what the F happens if the store loses its power. To me, a cashless society is going to make people more brain-dead than they are. @Stoner, remember when you went into Timmy's and the girl had to calculate everything in her head, then you had to figure out what to give her so that she then had to figure out your change.
  2. Is your daughter in Mat 3? The reason I ask is that most Mat 3 have a test at the end of the year for Mat 4 enrollment. If that is the case, you might want to look at extra classes for Mat 4 prep at night school or on weekends. In either case, unless you get her accepted into a higher school that has Mat 4, she may still have to do the exam for Mat 4 qualification.
  3. One of the things I have noticed is that with the digital wallets and all the pther digital crap that people are not tipping as much. Tips used to be the loose change or 20 baht note that you got as change. How many here actually dig into their pockets and put a tip in the container after paying digitally
  4. LOL, last time I checked, those were block parties. I have a dinner party every year around Christmas with friends Cocktail parties are not that prevalent here, but I have been to a few. They are mostly called meet and greets here, I think but they serve the same purpose.
  5. Why not set up a BTS system of some sort between the various beaches? I then could be extended around the island.
  6. The funny thing is Cdns care more about the US and Trump than they do about Petit Piere and how badly he is screwing up the country. LOL, the number 1 rule is and always will be by LIFE-educated people. You do not talk about Politics or religion, and to me, you can put wokism in either group.
  7. The challenge, though, is that she is the ONLY chess piece that the military/elite have. With everything that they said and did about the Shin dynasty, it will be very hard to convince a large part of their backers and voters that they are the tough pro monarchy for elite government. It also takes away their last bit of control over the PTP. Once YL is back and the charges against Thaksin are resolved, there is little to stop the Shin's from starting up again with everything that either was wrong or perceived wrong by the military elite. It is hard to say that they are a menace to the country after you have pardoned the family. Also, it becomes harder to try the people that have spoken out as they now have precedence, if not in court, at least in the media, as to why people should not be jailed for being against the military.
  8. I use this stop and there is NO way this is an accident, It would also be hard for smeone to push or throw a person over during the day as it is fairly busy all the time. RIP Wu Lian Sheng your troubles are now over.
  9. As a CANADIAN I take offence. We are usually quite talkative once we get to know people. BUT most Canadians are worried about offending people due to the woke universe. It is up to the host to start the conversation. I am willing to bet that the male partner is saying the same thing as you to his wife.
  10. SGD, I hear what you are saying, but I think the others are right, especially when they look you up on the system and see you have reached your limit, they will most likely think you are trying to beat the system. Even if you are not. Might be an idea to get a lawyer to help put a plan together for you.
  11. You could give them a raise of 600 baht, and they would still say prices are too high. The challenge is that the government has and needs to be more quick to subsidize or to limit the cost of items. Thai people are spoiled in that sense. If they want to make it better, then put newer and cheaper run buses on the road. It will be interesting in 10 years when they have to upgrade and maintain the new lines what they do for money, or do they just let them become death traps
  12. Problem is that most of them are MFP supporters because they want certain laws changed and are not big on Thaksin.
  13. He has a problem, though, with most of the things he needs to change being against what the military and Anutin support. Also most of their plans is falling apart. How was that wage hike before the new year? The wallet is dead. He has been given an out but can't take it. The constitution reform is dead also, as the military will not allow changes. The powers that be do not want the chagnes that PTP want. They never have adn never will. PTP is in power only because the military needed them for the numbers. Thaksin coming back was the reward for being a military puppet. BTW I am hearing talk about LGBTQ just as I am hearing talk about liquor changes and Marijuana bills. NOTHING has happened so right now all these things are just talk.
  14. I have been with NCS and am now with PSI Ben Weinstein. For someone to talk to and get non-filtered response, Ben is good. Ben is located near Phrom Pang BTS. He will do zoom or in person.
  15. The problem is that Thaksin's comms channel has never worked for the military or elite. Consider that every time he or a family member got elected the military through his or her out-of-power The only reason that they are together now is because PTP needed someone to prop them up and bring him home, and the Elite needed a party or person that they could control due to the MFP threat. The elitet will let Thaksin have his freedom only until it suits them to take it away. The LM charge and April case date is proof of that. They can either hammer him while everyone is celebrating or pardon him and hope no one notices. Also remember that little sister is now left on her own and not able to come back. Name one thing that the PTP promised that has come to pass or looks like it will come to pass.
  16. Why don't you buy it and give it to her later. I don't really understand or knowany Thai teens into realestate. Also where does she get the money to buy it.
  17. But as long as thaksin stays out of jail the elite still control the government. Therefore PTP has to kowtow to them
  18. The chances of that are the same as the military not wanting control. The interesting quote or joke is The Pheu Thai party, associated with Thaksin, currently holds power, presenting an opportunity to shift the focus from past conflicts to future progress. The PTP holds almost no power as they are owned and responsible to the military elite parties to stay in control. The PTP is only in power as long as either the MFP is a threat to the military or they (the PTP) upset the military. The military/elite control a great deal, consider that the power positions in eh government are controlled by the Elite proxies.
  19. Yeah this article spells it out pretty good. Does anyone have one? I am wondering what the electric bill is like and how long the average battery charge is?
  20. You know what they say about hot air rises LOL Stop breathing while reading AN
  21. Has anyone ever tried to set up a meet up for expats living in BKK. Next question how many would be interested in meeting for a coffee. Or....
  22. My MIL tried to commit suicide. They told her that she needed to shoot below her boob so that she would hit her heart. She did what they said but blew her kneecap out.
