Excellent post, I read right through it and agree with what you said, I did learn a bit of German for singing one particular song back in my band days. The German from 🎼can't you see I love you🎶 please don't break my heart in two, 🎵that's not hard to do cause 🎵I don't have a Wooden Heart.

I went to learn Thai not long after I arrived here, I spent 5000Bt for a one month course. and never missed a class, what put me off was the stupid tones and finding it hard to understand what a Thai person was saying to me. i honestly believe that if the Thai language was a normal language like the French, German or Spanish etc I would have been fluent in it long ago.

True, There are many, many guys who are members of the "scared of your own shadow" brigade. They must lose lots of sleep wondering if they are obeying all the rules that a$$holes sitting around tables make up.

Maybe they are, but I have only lived in two countries and the Thai's are more stupid than UK people although they are more decent and honest, It is really the horrendous road statistics that prove how stupid Thais are, when driving and riding are about 80% common sense. World wide I would accept that probably most people on the planet are stupid.

I think I have it Nong, I will be there on Monday. On the off chance, do you know where the big AIS store at The Walk shopping centre has moved to?

Many Thai's are stupid, you only need to ride a pedal bike or motorbike on any Thai road and the reason for the dreadful road statistics is very obvious. The nice honest Thai person who runs after you to give you the 100Bt note that you left on the counter could very easily be the same person who then jumps on to their motorbike. comes out of a side road and on to a main road without looking then rides up the wrong side of the road. Yes, the average Thai person is decent and honest, but that all changes when they jump on to a motorbike or in to a car. So Yes, the average Thai person is stupid. Sorry to be so blunt.

What height are you? Do you look fit and not overweight?

Like Indian Taylors. 😄

Anyone who openly insults you from behind a keyboard only do it as they are such big cowards because they know you cannot hit back.

Yes but only the odd one or two.

This is unbelievable, a big AIS store closes at The Walk shopping centre, no one knows where it has moved to, not even a notice giving it's new address. Tried to Google it, what chance have I got? Can anyone help?

So what?? Suggesting and recommending something are two different things. I suggested it because In all my years dealing with Wise I have always had good service. Is this you back to your old self trying to stir up problems where none exist.

That's a good question, and I would need an answer before I deposit anything.

What is to stop you transferring an amount of GBP to Wise and keeping it there until you may want to transfer some of it to your Thai bank account. I am not saying it is the best thing to do, it would depend on your own circumstances. Wise handles all sorts of foreign money.

It is a natural reaction to shout when some halfwit puts you in immediate danger no matter what country you are in, or what is bad manners or not.

What about keeping most of your savings in a UK bank for the interest then transfer some of your savings in GBP to Wise I know that with Wise it is not really a bank account as I don't think there will be any interest?

What about keeping the majority of your savings with Wise. You can add and take out money as you please both here in Thailand or in the UK. Please note that I am not necessary talking about the Wise debit card that needs you to have a UK address before you can apply for it.

I agree with you, not too long ago a very ugly wee woman rode up the wrong side of the road on her motorbike and forced me while riding my pedal bike on to face oncoming traffic, I shouted at her and she came after me with a big stick, I dismounted and faced her, she then attacked me with the stick and I easily disarmed her. There could be a time when you may have to use violence on a woman if it was to save yourself from serious injury. I mean what if that woman had been taller and fitter?

That's very true, most Thai's can't think for themselves, they can't even question why they allowed a bunch of half witted soldiers with the same mentality as Somchai and Lek in the street to play at being politicians.

What about exercise? I spend almost an hour cycling and in the local exercise park most days and I have great sleeps.

Yes but look at the prices.

So it is actually on the 117?

Another Makro, that's helpful, hope it sells the same things as the Makro on the 225. The Makro in Phichit is a poor one, they do not sell all the same things as the one in Nakhon Sawan.

I notice the AIS store on the ground floor of The Walk in Nakhon Sawan has closed. Can anyone tell me where the new one is? Is it in the same building?

You missed out the UK's Blair.
