Change up where you live. If Pattaya, I could understand why. Nothing like going ‘home’ for a couple months to put things in perspective. After living here, you will not handle the staid, overbearing left-leaning lifestyle.

And Swiss. This is not a bad thing since there is less focus on dodgy Brits 😋 -
PM Srettha to Address Wildfire Crisis Upon Return from Europe
daveAustin replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Gawd, here we go. Smiling like a hillbilly at the fires won’t help, old bean. You gotta get your police force to actively chase down the arsonists, issue over the top fines and throw them in prison. -
In all my travels around the world, I’ve never had much joy with them. Find them pretty arrogant, but then I could have just been unlucky on every occasion. Thailand does tend to attract the dregs of western society, however (along with decent folk of course) and this a$$ has done us all a disservice. Deport the first, jail the second.

F-35A Stealth Fighters Land For The First Time In Thailand
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The F-35B in particular. Got pretty close to one at Yeovilton a few years ago. That is one loud dude. -

Undermine? If you’re a someone with clout in this country—and unless there’s a price on your head—the rules rarely apply. But, at least where Yingluck is concerned, she was nobbled by the army. If she goes down, so should all the illegal coup-makers.

Curious if anyone had any luck with CBD products for sleeping….
daveAustin replied to SamSanuk's topic in Chiang Mai
Yes, there's some detailed posts on the above combo on the weed forum. Personally found CBD tends to make me groggy/sluggish and gives me pretty intensive (not of the fun kind) dreams. Prikpot does a capsule. -

Foreign man caught on CCTV stealing Thai flag in Phuket
daveAustin replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
If the Thais want millions upon millions of tourists, they'll have to expect crass behaviour like this. Not everyone is a Mary Poppins type. -
Foreign man caught on CCTV stealing Thai flag in Phuket
daveAustin replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Shock, horror. Thais up in arms because flag has been stolen, though hardly desecrated. You'll see young Thais sat on the Stars n Stripes or Union Jack on the shorts they're wearing... ask them if they have shorts with a Thai flag on... "No! Cannot!" -
Pattaya Rescue Team Frees Russian Kid Trapped Under Gate
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Poor little laddie can't help where he comes from. Guess that goes for all of us. -
... back to the world of dreams. Srettha will be on the news shortly to label Thailand the hub of meteors. 🙄

Two guesses, and it is not the installed smiling donkey no matter how much cheesy grinning he does. Pathetic.

Bit ott all this. If only the Thais were so gung-ho about changing their illegal governments.

Thai banks suck. Crapola interest rates for foreigners, excessive annual atm card charges, ridiculous out of province atm transaction charge, outlandish transaction charge for foreign cards, rubbish mortgage options, worthless insurance policies. Pretty much garbage all round… but the girls are cute!

British Airways reignites Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur routes
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Gatwick sucks for me, but hopefully bring other direct flights down a bit on the London route. The KL route is interesting. -
Not one of your best posts, old bean, along with the chaps saying to just fly. Stroll on. On topic; have gone up and down a dozen or more times, albeit a few years back now, but always did the Chainat/Suphanburi bypass. Possibly too busy now as well, so the wider of the 'Kok' you can get, the better methinks. Time of day is crucial. There are always places to stop and at a good price. Had some of my best times in this fair land when driving across country. 😉

Best way to attract Thai Myna birds to my garden?
daveAustin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Warg into a myna bird; they'll come flocking. But didn't you post a topic on this a while back? Get a grip, man! 🙂 -
Pattaya Booms with Tourist Influx, Hotels Exceed 90% Occupancy
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
How lovely. Please keep them penned in there. Moderate amount of any one group = fine. Masses of any one group (including my own) = yuck! -
Some do tend to verbose for the sake of it (The Blether comes to mind). These guys are likely lonely. But sometimes it is needed if a topic requires it, such as visa, medical or electrical. This is a forum, not Twitter, or X or whatever.
