  1. Well Prayut’s hardly going to say anything like that is he. For a start he wouldn’t be so bold and he probably doesn’t even know where the Asia-Pacific region is.
  2. Pooh was kind, told the truth and was much much better looking ????
  3. Those instances are more cash oriented but shops with terminals would really benefit from the likes of Google- and Apple-pay. It is infinitely faster and more convenient, esp for grocery shopping. Found I didn’t need my wallet for weeks on end back in the world. But of course harder for the old folk and dinosaurs to adopt… counting out their coppers to get the exact price holding everyone up. That is infuriating but is not the method being discussed here. The QR code thing is often slower than cash.
  4. Not too hard to work out. It’s called tactics, to try to get the ref to call a foul, but is thankfully less an issue nowadays with VAR etc. Anyway, dignity and ice hockey? Isn’t that the hobby where they fight every 5 minutes and dressed up in so much foam that you could drop off a cliff and not be hurt? ????
  5. As opposed too what, meaningless dribble on the likes of facebook and other 'out there' junk? Always cringe when folk say don't read MSM, do your own research etc, which basically means they'll believe anything other than what the big researchers have found out. The earth is automatically flat if the BBC or CNN say it's round, etc etc. ????
  6. Cash is simple compared to the systems they have in place here, but with Applepay I’ve not needed to take my wallet out for like weeks on end. Fantastic system esp when you have facial recognition enabled. It was a major drag coming back here and seeing they hadn’t adopted it yet. Get yourself a smartphone bro, they are easy. ????
  7. That’s a good image. Invite tourists back to Thailand to save the ailing tourist industry, then subject people to degrading and unnecessary police-state-like searches! They’ll have them at the airports next. Pretty sad really.
  8. Read more here than back ‘home’. Did two 6-700-pagers last week actually, though currently on a bit of a binge. The noise doesn’t bother me (where excessive noise usually does)… when in the zone, it’s not an issue. Rarely bother with paper over here; having them on the phone means one can read—and acquire practically any title—on a whim.
  9. And what are you going to talk about, bro?
  10. Prayut Says He Is Still Fine that’s a shame
  11. If you want to go cashless, PLEASE introduce Applepay and similar at stores in Thailand. The current system with people fiddling around, entering numbers etc etc ad nauseam is a joke. Along with security & convenience with digital payments should be time saved. Getting stuck behind someone for 5 minutes trying in vain to pay for their groceries is absolutely baffling.
  12. Thailand to Become International Hub of Electric Vehicles Here we go. There’s that word again. And I hope they do, albeit a fair way to catch China which has something like a million charge points.
  13. Don’t sweat it, that’s what like 99% of early adopters did, while numerous others misplaced passwords & keys to their 50btc mined packets (2 million coins permanently lost isn’t it?). Had one hand on the btc client back in 09 (my spare laptop could’ve happily mined), but didn’t bother as was busy doing other tat. Millions of stories like that. Main thing is least you’re in profit. ????
  14. Easy to mock when brought up in the West and Thai males can be especially fragile, but reckon the pressures are higher here. When you bring face and subservience to authority and elders into the mix, it makes those that are susceptible all the more likely to struggle.
  15. Pharmaceuticals should be banned other than for strict medical purposes and these dinosaurs sent to Siberia.
  16. Wasn’t it Trudeau that came out with PEOPLEkind so as to not upset the Doris’s in the audience? Strewth! Though not woke, cannot stand the way TV people in the UK overuse, or just use, the word massively. Major cringe and reason enough to emigrate!
  17. This would be great if it actually worked and was rolled out to all visa classes, but reckon you’ve got more chance of picking up a couple of rai as a farangy before that happens.
  18. Perhaps they could also raise the issues of refusing fares and meter-fixing.
  19. I agree. Poor guy was only asking the question. At times you’re better off asking the cat than this crowd.
  20. Does this main they’re going to start using candies down the runways? ????
  21. Go and do one grandad, and while you’re at it perhaps spend some of your billions to prop up the ‘struggling’ hotel industry… leave the little man out of it! Yeah, thought so. Donkey!
  22. I certainly won’t be having anymore jabs. Arthritic fingers & thumbs on occasion post-vaccine... I am not old, though of course it can come post-40. May just be a coincidence and doctors say there’s no connection (they would wouldn’t they), but I’d sooner suffer that cold and will let my immune system do its job in future.
  23. Eh? Must’ve missed that. From what I read most of them seemed more interested to see what was between their legs.
