  1. The bloke is a donkey, but anyone with half a brain could see that he’s being rightly or wrongly systematically shutdown. If they’re doing that to Trump, perhaps same should happen to the current doddery president and his family. American politics is almost as comical as Thailand’s.
  2. Everywhere is boring compared to everywhere years ago. Along with ageing and nostalgia, the world in general has also become less fun, less free and horribly left/right wing. And, no, the Brits weren’t booted out as you well know. Lease expired on surrounding territories. Despite your obvious disdain for the British, it was them being there that made Hong Kong such a fun, eclectic place, while your beloved China was in proper Orwellian mode.
  3. They were probably too busy doing real police work like stopping motorcyclists without helmets
  4. Expect more bag checks on ordinary citizens etc etc. Best way to attract more tourists/confidence: government resign, value your visitors.
  5. Never a good idea to post on Thai Visa when inebriated.
  6. Why don’t you say what you really feel, Mike? ????
  7. Highly unlikely. Have you been online and checked out other hotels/car hire firms with definite dates for bookings? Wouldn’t go by what people say in messages… they’re likely told to say such a thing as bosses know they can sell rooms during that period.
  8. ^^ Drinking? Fine, name and shame. Phuket’s public transport ‘network’ is woefully bad.
  9. Coming from Spain, guess that is an easy accolade to make ????
  10. It could all fall flat but is unsettling them going down this road.
  11. No thanks. Not all that interested in watching hordes of jaded boomers checking out the local ‘tackle’. ????
  12. Take the ridiculous taxes off wine, beer and supposed ‘luxury’ items. I don’t care about 1 baht off a packet of Mama!
  13. Lol Whatever floats your boat, but if you think that young lady is ugly… You guys are funny.
  14. “A COUPLE filed a police report against an online lottery vendor after the number on five tickets they had ordered but did not received”
  15. ???? Oftentimes bad blood owning vast amounts of property here and keeping ordinary Thais out of the loop. This Srettha character is of that ilk. Perhaps he will get lost when he goes over to visit his brethren. ????
  16. It is gross but your comment is kind of heavy. Don't think anyone would condone that. This guy is probably guilty (because Thai Newsroom said so ), but imagine being 'fingered' for this kind of thing and you were completely innocent?... just happened to be in the toilet at the same time.
  17. On par with those lawyers that fight for their client when they know full well they are bent. All about money/power. What a messed up world.
  18. Who cares? They don't spend as much. The baht is still 20-30% overpriced... hopefully with this perpetually smiling donkey at the helm, that real price will be realised sooner rather than later.
  19. Poor las, feel sorry for her. Hope the ‘beauty clinic’ gets shafted, but unlikely. Here on television more so than many places would drive a lady to try to look perfect. She’s gone from a rather fetching hooman with a few spots to a, nonetheless fetching, tiger with a few spots.
  20. 99% of the overworked ???????????? generals should (be) retire(d) too. There’d still be 20 or so!!
  21. Oh aye, anything looks good after a case of beer I guess.
  22. Bogus government endearing itself to the populace I see.
  23. Ooh, that'll upset those on the flightpath, esp in Hang Dong! Remember it being quite loud even miles out in the east. Also, please don't tempt billions of noisy tourists there; send em all to Pattaya or one of 'them' places ????
  24. Already at 30psi. First thing one does when buy a new bike/post-service is lower the pressures as they automatically blow them up to 50+! Bizarre. Same with new car. Don't want to go too low as tyres can then run hot etc. Yeah, decent enough. They're real nippy and pull well, great on fuel, strong lights, decent space under seat. Ideal for nipping to 7. Certainly one of the best overall scooter things I've ridden and have done most. Not a real bike of course, but we're not talking about that are we. ????
