I would think that as an elected senior politician it would be Thaksin, but the unelected soldier would only have a soldiers brains.

Who made the most money so far, Thaksin or the unelected caretaker PM? If I said, I would only be guessing. One is an elected politician, the other is a soldier with a soldiers mentality.

There will always be scaremongering, it will never stop. If it is not covid it will be something else. Too many people have become rich through it.

So I should avoid 96.9%? now I'm getting confused.

Being ready to buy 1Baht Ingots soon, say 200,000Baht worth, how much can I expect to pay in commission? I just want to make sure no one takes advantage, I also want to pay through my Bangkok bank app, hopefully I will buy from an Aurora shop in China town.

Yes, I understand that now, but I think many posters are referring to a Wave or similar as a moped when a moped is not over 50cc. Is there actually anything in Thailand with an engine not over 50cc? I don't think so.

Yes but not mopeds. A previous poster has already explained what a moped is/was, and I think he was spot on.

No matter what job you are doing, if you are serving the public, you should always be polite, provided of course that the customer is also polite.

The family member is my wife's sister, she has not predicted what the price will be, I was wanting to go to the gold shop about next week but she said it is better to wait until the schools starts as the price should fall. I am a complete novice at this. Are any posters buying gold blocks now?

I am told by a family member the price of gold is a bit high just now and I should wait till after the schools go back. I am told the best time to buy is after the annual holidays, is that right? Thanks.

Like a Forza, fully automatic and comfortable over a long journey, and excellent for riding in Bangkok and Pattaya.

What exactly is a moped? When I was a kid, my dad had what is called a moped. It is an ordinary bike with a very small engine at the back of the seat. I don't think they even exist any more, is a moped another name for a Wave? If not then I am stumped.

I have already explained that.

I have told you as it is, There is nothing more to tell you. the key I wanted was for my topbox on the motorbike. I got a new top box and the key is very similar to one they cut for my previous top box.

Tom Jones copied Elvis?? Tom Jones started of as a carbon copy of PJ Proby, and not half as good. Yes he had a very strong voice, but his biggest rival Englebert was a much better singer.

My wife has university degree's, is very clever, I always take seriously everything she says as she always seems to be right, she never stopped fulltime education until she was 22 years old, while I left school at 16 and had no interest in anything except music and playing football, I could play any songs I knew from the age of five on the piano. I have a lot of knowledge about American and Irish history Today despite her education and cleverness, she has no knowledge or interest in anything outside of Thailand. May I point out that when I was a teacher with Prathom's five and six, I did see one teacher always heading for his class with maps under his arm so he was obviously teaching geography.

If the tins of beans were moved to a different place to where they have been for the last few years, and at least 6 different attendants couldn't find them then where were they? Have you read the previous posts in this thread?

They have a western food store attached to it. I noticed a farang guy and his Thai wife and showed them the "beans" on my smartphone and the wife said yes tins of beans, she told an attendant and he still could not take me to the shelf to get the beans, so I got them in Tesco instead.

Yes, but where were the beans? They should have been on the same shelf as they have been for years, I would think that beans would be about the most important in a farang food store.

In big C today (Mon), I could not even get a can of beans, the attendants did not even know what beans were. I used by translate app and each attendant kept taking me to different parts of the store. I know what shelf the cans of bean should be at. I ended up getting them at Lotus.

Not crude. ????

Good, now run along.

That's fine just as long as there are no soldiers involved with the party that wins the election.

Yes, but as you will know about the difference on the roads between then in England and today in Thailand. When I started driving as a teenager, I bought a cheap minivan took it to the industrial estate and practised driving although I knew how to drive to start with, I then started driving without a license for a few months then took 5 driving lessons to learn how to pass the test.

I have always tried my to respect other posters opinions even if I don't agree with them, but in this case I cannot. I am very surprised so many farangs think it is OK for parents to hand their ten year olds the keys to their motorbikes to ride on public roads. The posters who live in places like Bangkok, ChangMai, Pattaya may not see that but here up country it is an epidemic. Reading through this thread it must be noticed how many sad and confused emoticans I have received for complaining about underage motorbike riders. The posters responsible know who they are. I'll just leave it at that.
