He does have a heart condition. Heart lazy, sorry! I couldn't resist that.

Don't need to use AC when I go to bed. I hardly ever wake up till morning. Your talking about 7 hours sleep a day plus a nap from 5-6pm, AC off then too with just a fan being used. I do cycle and go to the exercise park in the morning before breakfast, so that helps a lot. AC nearly always at 25 degree's and on low, only very occasionally put it up to Mid. We also have solar panels.

"skinny, or out of shape bodies" I most cases what I have seen with shirtless bodies is being overweight with big bellies and big titties. These guys should be arrested.

Disgusting b@st@rds.

A person has to stick up for himself as the poster wanted to do. If you are going to let people abuse you in any way and do nothing about it for fear of being "killed" well I suppose that's up to you.

I had health insurance for two years in Thailand. I got suspicious about it, so asked the insurance company for a copy of what is covered etc in English and they refused. I asked someone qualified what I should do and was advised to cancel it so I did. If I had kept it going I would not have made any claim, and after paying out several hundred thousand Baht. I would have probably been told I was too old then cancelled it and that, after the insurance company took all that money from me. For expats to take out life insurance, it has to be genuine and fair, as it is now it is just a rip off.

Thanks, but all that seems a bit complicated to me, funny how it has only happened with my desktop and not my laptop. I don't even know what srt files are.

All the TV shows I have downloaded from FM had subtitles. Now today they have all disappeared. Anyone know how I can get them back?

Nine times out of ten a seasoned street fighter will get the better of someone with martial arts training. No matter what grade he is, there are no rules in street fighting but the same can't be said with someone trained in martial arts.

A few when I was much younger back in Scotland. If anyone challenged me to a fight "outside" I would never take him up on it as I am probably a bit of a coward. Let's be honest if someone challenges you to a fight they must know they are going to win, whether it's other back up or a concealed weapon. It has not happened often, but one time I lumbered one guys ex GF and he came after me when I was walking with her out on the street and he started threatening me with violence, I walloped him and left him lying on the pavement. What a loss of face he must have had in front of his ex bird.

Thanks Charlie I will look into that. How safe would my life savings be in my Wise account?

I tried to open an account with TTB last year and my wife came with me, I was refused because I am on a UK pension. So that means TTB do not have UK OAP's as customers. but again this being the Banana Republic of Thailand different branches of the same bank probably make up their own rules.

Never, I'll just stick to shepherds pies, fishermans pies and chicken pies all home made without veg, I do not eat vedge or fruit apart from the juice.

Is this all because of there being so many Mr Do It Yourself shops springing up?

Yes, and the way most traffic lights are set.

A motorbike is the best if you have genuine common sense. The Thai traffic light system at major intersections and even some crossroads are far too long on a red light, the timing is dreadful at some places, it is a normal situation to see many traffic waiting on the red light while there is no traffic at all waiting on the lights still on green. Why do you think there is always a mad dash and traffic still going through the lights after they have turned to red? They know they are going to have a long long wait before they turn to green again. With a motorbike you can always make your way near the front instead of waiting on long lines of traffic.

Bolt 300 Bt more expensive from Pattaya to Central Bangkok than an ordinary Thai taxi.

Only one answer to that. This is Thailand. It is not just the Somchai or Lek in the street who has a low IQ.

I have been travelling back and forward regularly from the UK to Bangkok for 20 years and never even seen an argument on a plane.

I'm trying to find a good way to store money. I bought a good strong safe from Global and now want to sell it as I think too many people know about it. I used to keep money in Wise which was fine but realise I may have difficulty putting money in or taking it out when I am in the UK.

I thought it was the Thai's who had the low IQ's, not the Russkies. 🤣

"all would be passengers should be required to submit a registered IQ identification card." But what about Thai passengers?? 😄

Yes one of them is the Krungsri and the Government bank, cannot remember the other one. My main bank is the Bangkok Bank but it is 15 Ks away.

I want to open a second bank account, this time in my village. No cards, no apps, just a bankbook, there are 3 banks, one is the Government bank which my wife recommends. I hate the Thai government. My wife has lived in the village all her life and would know best. If you lived in a village with 3 banks would you choose the government bank? What are the plusses and negatives of it?

I used to be with one in Bangmunnak every Sat afternoon, now they are all dead or gone away. I admit it, I sure miss the company of guys from the UK.
