I haven't had one of their fridges, I learned my lesson with a Samsung microwave. It conked out just after the one year warranty was up, I took it to be repaired and was told it would cost just as much to repair it as to buy a new one. No more Samsung electrical appliances for me.

Just recently I discovered Tinyzone, over a thousand movies from the thirties right up to now. Just download and keep them, great quality, I thought it was great, then I tried them live, they all have English subtitles but plenty of buffering, doesn't matter about subtitles, downloaded the movies I want, and still plenty to see. Now on to the TV series. Sometimes cannot even get them, up pops a very old UK TV soap which ran for years, probably about the best soap ever. UK people will remember Crossroads, it's there from series 1 in 1964 right up until the end. Only one thing, try clicking on, it just doesn't work. How I would have loved to watch that series again. Great for movies, as long as you download them and don't watch them live. TV series?? What a disaster.

I completely agree with your post Bill. but your last paragraph, was it not the PM after Yingluck who was deposed by Prayut and his soldiers?

I came to live in Thailand during the last couple of years of Thaksins premiership, so am not really qualified to comment much on him, but there is one thing here. I have seen how bad the country has been with an unelected soldier as PM, I have seen all the lies and incompetence from him. When I first came to Thailand I saw all the happiness of many farangs and was recommended by them all to come and live here. If Thaksin was really deserving of getting a jail sentence that forced him to leave the country, where must that leave the present unelected PM? From my own experience, am I expected to believe that Thaksin should be in jail and this unelected PM should not?

I know where he will be around 5pm.

I beg to differ. Samsung may be good for phones, but not fridges, microwaves etc.

Why not? I have overpaid by mistake or walked away forgetting my change both in 7-11's and the local market over the 16 years I have been here, and been chased by the staff to return it to me. There are good and dishonest people in every country.

I hope that restaurant goes out of business soon. Dirty rotten lot.

When I was young, and the UK government brought out a scheme for sitting tenants to buy their house, I took a job as a bus driver so I could use my wage packets to get a mortgage. I had to take fares and give out change, at the end of the week any shortfalls came out of my wages. That was fair enough, but any left over was not returned. That was not fair enough. There was no way I was standing for that, so at the end of the day, I was the one who was better off. I don't think I need to explain.

But what if there is any money above the amount recorded in the till. Will that be refunded? I think we all know the answer to that.

All that fine print and legal jargon is there to try and help them refuse claims. small print should be made illegal on anything. There is no reason for any small print, apart from hoping that people won't notice it.

Your posts are usually very sensible, but not this time. I love my Forza, great for both riding in cities and for long distance rides.

A lot of left lanes on highways are left in a dreadful state by overloaded trucks, it can be extremely dangerous for any bike, especially small 125cc's, so it is common sense to ride them on the hard shoulder, though only when it is in a decent condition.

Please do not refer to my Forza as a scooter as it is not ridden by a kid scooting along the pavement hopping on one foot. Anyway, the majority of motorbike riders in Thailand, even on Forza's, are not fit to be on the road.

Compared with the UK, even with Thailand being ruled by an unelected soldier, the good in Thailand still outweighs the bad.

Do not give them anything, but be careful with your tone of voice, if they ask you nicely you refuse nicely.

I managed to do it after watching the video. Thanks a lot.

Going from the bus terminal to Soi Pothole by MC always cost me exactly 100Bt.

App that same distance always costs me 100Bt, but one guy tried to charge me 20Bt extra for carrying a case which I use for a cabin bag on my flights to the UK. He was told to get lost.

Sorry. Do not know how to send photos. Model no PQ206 if that helps.

I have bought two new cutters for my shaver and I cannot change them. My wifes brother is an extra good handyman and good with electrics, and he can't either. Took them to a shop which changes watch batteries etc, and he can't either. I thought I would just have to take the old ones out and put in new ones. Can anyone help?

"You dont need a passport to check into hotels and never had a hotel even question it. So you have never tried to check into the Nana Hotel in Soi 4 in Bangkok??

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Do these soldiers never learn? Here we have the ex sleeping partner of the present unelected PM who said when he stole the country in 2014 "there will be no coup". Does even the most gullible Thai person believe what comes out of these two soldiers mouths.

You mean you have not read here on this forum? I don't believe it though.

There is never an excuse for any country invading another country against the will of that country's people, if it is true that 70% of westerners say that the Russians were right about the invasion of The Ukraine, then what can I say?
