  1. A squatter with a safety vest, who is an ACDC fan, and probably pretty good with a hoola-hoop.
  2. Had a similar experience to those other posts. Air Asia has no customer service effectively - and the real people hiding behind their robots are equally useless. They don't care.
  3. The only rationale of the 2 - 5pm ban seems to be kids are buying it during these times. Never really understood that - they can just wait to go out at 5pm like the rest of us. If shopkeepers/7-11 staff etc had the confrontation skills to request ID from minors and refuse sales appropriately, and, if penalties were applied to those selling it to minors - this ban wouldn't be required. This is the culture that exists in the west, but is not something culturally easy for Thais so it seems. Hence these peculiar rules apply.
  4. I wonder how much the debt is? How much is it worth stabbing yourself in the stomach for?
  5. Doesn't one offer kindness to benefit someone in need? At what point can kindness be taken advantage of?
  6. Amazing what rain can do.
  7. I hate it when I get tricked into getting a <deleted>.
  8. Yep, left me and my young family stranded in KL and basically couldn't give a f##! Was my go-to airlines, now a very very last option.
  9. Maybe there will be direct flights from Germany to Pattaya soon - just to uptake the demand.
  10. God help us, don't tell me they they are bringing their cars.
  11. The AQI is starting to creep up as farmers start burning off their rice stubs and the rain that clears the air has ceased. AQI up to 141 already in some parts. At least mushroom season is months away and the forest fires haven't been lit yet.
  12. Sorry, can't answer your question but probably a new one would be a good idea. I wasn't asked for anything at all as it turned out.
  13. Doesn't seem an 'expedited intervention' unless I'm missing something. I'm hearing reports one of his random victims has now passed away. Lock the creep up forever!
  14. If the refunds are going into a bank account, surely the culprits would be easy to track down? It's the 'insignificant' amounts involved that make it easier for police to issue a warning to restaurants rather than investigate further.
  15. What airline is offering 200 kg of unchecked checked-in baggage?
  16. Thank you for your advice.
  17. There are restrictions. Age (20) & pregnant women from memory. The restrictions may be just as effective stopping kids buying weed as it is with alcohol and cigarettes. The price of weed in these shops is the biggest restriction.
  18. Yes, there was no mention of weed at all. Lots of anti-weeders jumping on a soap box. The glue sniffing is what should standing out as a concern more than anything.
  19. Yes, seems a ban on glue, alcohol, cigarette packs, e-cigarettes, provocative dances, school children, onlookers, playing in water and gathering near the old guard post is in order. If they had only smoked a joint - none of this would have happened.
  20. I am taking my son (9) to Australia for a 3 week holiday but leaving Mum in Thailand. I have heard that there is some requirement - a letter from Mum - that needs to be presented at departure. Is this a myth? Does anybody have any experience with this situation?
  21. My wife had a similar timeframe on our trip - we just decided to renew it - it took about 4 days and her new passport was in our letterbox.
  22. All that hard work burning the forests paying off now.
  23. Looks like the Move Forward Party are already moving backwards.
  24. Is this because lots of tourists were complaining about sand being walked into their hotel rooms?
