  1. He does it because he thinks he’s a people person, everyone loves him, must be seen to be everywhere etc. ‘He can do no wrong’. Let’s see how his levels go over the coming months after he loses face through Ill thought out schemes and plummeting opinion polls. Just another unelected mouthpiece not representative of 99% of people in Thailand.
  2. 500k baht? lol Dream on. Could be wrong but George sold TV in the million(s) dollar area.
  3. The rich so & so has only been in office 5 minutes and already hate him with a passion. Bring back Phrayut! ????
  4. Yes ironic how these wishy washy countries (hello, China, creator of C19) jumped all over the Japanese at the release of that cleaned water—there’s eff all in it bar a bit of tritium—and yet look at their own dubious practises, their revolting wet markets etc. Get your own houses in order.
  5. But it does happen, my friend. Got pulled up on it years ago, before the buying-tickets-online days so would've been screwed or shafted on buying a ticket on the spot. Eventually let me board as I said I was married and would get a visa here. They do still ask at random if you don't have a visa. Someone recommended buying a ticket and getting a full refund. Ok, fare () enough, but for just a few bucks, the throwaway ones are so quick and easy. Valid PNR is generated so the airline at check-in cannot deny boarding. Despite typing tat on here, I personally do not have the time or inclination to buy a real ticket and fart around having monies refunded.
  6. Would sooner burn my taxed income than watch it go directly into the pocket of some unelected dinosaur here. That is where this bogus 'tax' will go.
  7. ^^^ You would also need to use banking app behind a VPN and never use credit card if you went down that road. Have always told HSBC where I am since they suspended a card when used here in Thailand as safety measure. In regard to the OP, would suggest transferring to a real bank. ????
  8. Took time because the media people went out there chasing down his previous exploits for 'the story'. The bloke is not my favourite; is mouthy, pretty arrogant and has done some rubbish stuff, like dissing Andrews Sachs, and deserves to be punished IF he is guilty. This whole thing of the media passing judgement is disgusting and needs to end. People are having their lives ruined by mere accusation. Take the benevolent Cliff Richard, for example. The bloke is now a complete wreck because one person with low character decided to accuse him of something, and yet they can go about their life like nothing happened. This kind of thing can happen to any of us if a woman/man from a previous encounter decides to change their mind.
  9. Other way around in the UK... harder to get C at higher amperages. Most circuits should be on B, resistive rated. Typically, larger pumps, welders would behind C and then D rated or you get nuisance tripping on starting. Having a lighting circuit on a C rated MCB/RCBO, for example, is not necessary since there won't me much inrush on switch on.
  10. Great idea, let the kids get onto alcohol instead, yeah! So a big pharma-pushing doctor is involved as well now. We all know where their priorities lie. And lumping weed into the hard drugs category? Donkeys. Old men still making decisions over the normal people. Get em all out. Let's move forward.
  11. If it's on your property, have its head off and eat it... preferably after cooking. If a big deal, speak to the poo yai baan politely with a nice bottle of chianti under your arm. ????
  12. Only in America. ???? Sorry, but it is not a paid-for service and will certainly say so in there tos. You've still got to have your brain activated while driving. That is like blaming the maker of a map in the 'good ol' days after you run into roadworks!
  13. Nice, keep making noise and finally get this this lot out of governance! A Thailand sans grubby dinosaurs with their snout in the trough... One can only hope.
  14. They can F off 'stealing' ALREADY taxed income and pensions though, which was proposed in the original document. That would be obscene Orwellian banana republic behaviour.
  15. Yes, good idea for a ‘reset’ as well as to earn good coin. Doubly good if you’ve got accommodation sorted. Tax wise, you’ll unlikely hit the threshold of £12,750 (think it is) if they don’t give you the right code, so can claim back next tax year. Real easy through HMRC app.
  16. Quick, get the sequel out!
  17. It’ll piss a lot of people off if it is flippantly reversed. Not just ordinary, normal folk just enjoying their lives, but people right up. Thailand likes to think it is all grown up and stable when talking economics etc, but is proper banana republic when it makes swift flip-flop changes. Almost childlike.
  18. Lost in translation… one would need to be clairvoyant to know how something went missing ???? Shame a crackhead relieved her of it and not one of those super-duper honest cab drivers we keep hearing about. Thailand is still largely a cash society. Very common for office workers n such to draw big money from ATMs. Hope she gets some of it back and perp dries up a bit.
  19. Oh, how droll ???? Likely wouldn’t appeal to the boguns among us. Not my favourite person but why knock it? He’s certainly as good as the best Franco-Italiano chefs and produces all that fluffy nosh, having spent time in both places. Thais also love to eat hearty western food. Not bothering to read the replies in this one as 90% will likely be throwaway comments from the beans on toast crowd ????. Good luck to the bloke.
  20. … because of UNELECTED people like you. Blathering on about helping poor people / the proletariat in order to garner support/praise while being filthy rich and not knowing about real struggle. It is pukeworthy. The sooner the world rids itself of corrupt dinosaurs, the better for all.
  21. Same here. Why stress, no one’s getting out of this alive anyway. ????
  22. Already all been said. Drink it when you need it--heavy exercise in the jungle you'll clearly need more than when sitting around on here, but loads of plain water in big volumes is not a good idea... that's not how we evolved. Read somewhere once that guzzling loads does nowt but dilute electrolytes and then the kidneys dump it to prevent the blood from thinning. You'll just end up feeling lightheaded, peeing all the time and still be dehydrated. Drink when you need it and consider adding some good electrolytes in hot climes... not the cheapo all-sugar dechamp type in 7. /The small packs of Oreda (think it is) seem to be ok though. Also consider drinking mineral water as opposed to always 'dead' reverse osmosis type.//
  23. That’s not long. Try giving it 6 months. Might also be dehydrated.
  24. That’s not excessive and not hard liquor, but would try to go down to 2-3 a day and have a couple days off.
