I have on a few occasions tried to get on to Shopee, they just won't allow it, I'm told it is because I am in Thailand, but there seems to be a lot of Shopee customers in Thailand, or have I got it wrong?

I have used the same motorbike taxis for years to go to the Pattaya bus terminal, the last time about 4 weeks ago the driver wanted an extra 20 Bt for my case which is a small cabin bag type, he did not get it. It seems nearly everyone is on the take these days, some blaming the pandemic and the Russian war, the pandemic is over, let's see if this scamming goes on and prices come down when the Russian war is over.

What about the guys who come from Isaan to work as a taxi driver in Bangkok? That would surely be a lot harder than driving a cab in London.

I went to book in to the Apex, but immediately changed my mind when I asked about wifi, they did not have any, and that was only about 6 years ago.

Bacon and eggs are fine when cold, I would be happy with cold eggs in a buffet as long as they are not fried. When I go on a long motorbike journey, I regularly make up bacon and egg sandwiches with my flask of tea and biscuits.

15 days before.

Yes, but she won't be boiling them. I bet she fries them.

Yes.

I have spent a long time trying to book a hotel in Bangkok, the normal hotels I have used have closed down due to the pandemic and never reopened. Every single hotel I have tried to book, using mostly Agoda, give you a price, then the final price ends up a few hundred Baht more than was first stated, there have been no exceptions to this, and I am not referring to the extra 17% for tax etc. Here's an example. Through the agent, The Nana Hotel show a price of 1,300--, then the final price is 1,700--. I have business in Bangkok which will take less than a day, so I am just going to spend my evenings in Pattaya, then getting a bus to Bangkok and back in one day. Much cheaper for hotels and food. Has anyone else tried to book a Bangkok hotel through an agent lately?

It really depends on what part of Bangkok you are traveling from or which part of Pattaya you are traveling to.

Yes 10 Bt for the local baht busses is way, way expensive. ????

Anyone know if there is anyway you can cook these white fillets from Makro without it shrinking so much? I boil it in a slow cooker, and when it is cooked, it has shrunk to much less than half I started off with.

It doesn't matter who the next or any PM get's into office, there will always be some soldier who will start a coup after seeing how well the present unelected PM has fared. Personally, I would like the Thai people themselves to start an non violent protest of some sort when the next coup comes.

I would rather see Pae Thongtarn's face everywhere than his.

A politician keeping his trap shut????

It probably depends on how thick a brown envelope would have to be.

The difference is that the soldiers and politicians who are running this country do not have the brains or knowhow to work their way around corruption the way the UK government and probably other western governments have.

Not as long as there are soldiers in government positions as there will be even after the upcoming "election".

I can easily go on Tues, all I want to know is the amount of days before and after your actual 90 day reporting date. that you can report.

I need to know for sure as I want to go on Monday for a 18th March report.

Joe, can you confirm that you can do your 90 day report up to 15 days before your due date?

Is it true that the fares of the bus to Jomtien have increased to 197Bt? What other bus services are available? Thanks.

Anyone found drunk and incapable in public should be charged, locked up and fined.

and in the UK, a two or three year wait for treatment.

No wonder, advertising a xaiomi service centre that isn't there and sending me to a place miles away that wasn't there.
