She has a lot more qualifications and university education than a certain illegal coup leader with only a Military Academy education who despite an IQ probably about the same as a Somchai in the street and was in office for 9 years. Big downside though is her father who is a farang hater and will be a lot of influence on her.

Yes I saw it too, what a hero and excellent actor.

Audie Murphy.

Thanks Charlie, there is an Advice in Bangmunnak about 15 Ks from me, I will try it tomorrow.

Can anyone recommend a good laptop repair shop in Nakhon Sawan? Thanks.

Yes, themselves.

That was nearly 20 years ago.

You mean council tax? I just did not pay a lot of it as I did not agree with it. I left my house in the UK owing thousands.

In the 17 years I have lived here and many times in Bangkok and Pattaya no girl has ever shouted handsome man to me, and the thing is, I really was handsome then. It is probably just the big bellied, unnattractive guys who get shouted handsome man at.

I never even thought to taste alcohol when I was a young teenager, I saw my brothers, friends etc drink alcohol. I also played in a band and saw a lot of drinking. The reason I never even tried drinking alcohol was simply because I hated the look of a glass of beer, also the smell.

This is just another BIG BIG case of "This is Thailand".

I know that Agoda and Booking.com are part of the same company, I have always said about Agoda and their small print booking hotels then finding 17% added on to the cost, but Booking.com?? While trying to book hotels in the UK, I would reply to an email they have sent me, then click on the "reply" box then get an email saying that the email I have replied to does not exist. This has happened at least 6 times so I would be wary of having anything to do with both of them if I could help it.

Then ask yourself why your money was covered for 5000000 million baht, in the Thai banks and is now covered for only 1000000Million Baht.

I hope you are right Mike, but personally I cannot ever see anything but coups in this Banana Republic as the average Thai has never been very good at standing up for themselves. I think you made a good point in saying that mothers won't let their sons murder other Thais, but it sure would take an awful lot to make that happen.

Yes, just think of all these generals waiting to see who will be the lucky one that will be getting backed up by soldiers, tanks and guns. When they see how the unelected soldier PM Cha Cha fared with a money earning 9 years in office, and along with all the other unelected coup leading soldiers throughout the years getting mega rich and going about knowing that they will never be jailed. As long as there is a Banana Republic of Thailand, there will be coup after coup after coup as long as time goes on.

Excellent post Steven. Nice to see someone had the courage to post on such a subject. This has to be the topic of the year.

I agree entirely Mike, but can you trust Thai banks with 800.000 Baht? Read crazykopites post.

Yes I think so, it is the latest one and works very well.

Thanks. I don't remember downloading this, so why is it not on my 10 Bit Uninstaller or control panel list so I can delete it?

Well why not just say he is "daft" rather than DUH?

What is it? I think it is some kind of player. It shows up with my VLC, and Pot Players. It does not appear on my Control panel list or my 10 Bit uninstaller, if it did I would not want to delete it in case it was important. Can anyone help?

Thank you all for your help. Here is the situation. Everything has worked out OK, but for one thing. I cannot use VLC in my Acer laptop as when I try, a notice comes up saying that the VLC player has crashed, this happens every time without fail, but my other player Pot Player, has no such problem. I showed it to my local computer guy who cannot speak a word of English, so he translated it on his phone and will get back in touch with me.

But what does it mean?

What does DUH stand for?

The measurement of your wastline means nothing if we don't know your height. I'm 6ft tall with a waistline of 34ins the same as your high, so I would assume you are a bit smaller than me.
