  1. You know now, but always best to avoid moving anywhere based on a holiday. Holiday mode never lasts.
  2. What Would You Do If You Had More Money After the obvious splurge and barring traveling more, not a huge amount. Money is just a means to an end and helps remove the angst of not having any.
  3. From article: "Pol. Lt. Col. Suchai Saengsong, deputy head for investigation at Klong Luang police station, said Grant showed up to hear charges filed against him for endangering vehicles and people under Highway Act of 1992, Sections 39 and 72 and Road Traffic Act, Section 114."
  4. OTT reactions to covid by the gov have exacerbated depression and suicide rates here more so than those countries where there has been backup to these measures. They had an agenda, chiefly in keeping protesters off the streets. Very sad; doubtless Thailand can be a very lonely place if one is susceptible. China probably also has high suicide rates on account of draconian covid measures, though you’d never uncover any meaningful figures.
  5. Can understand having a grace period…. this is Thailand after all. But surely the most effective way to get the new laws recognised is to hit people with maximum fines from day one. It’ll be big news everywhere with everyone talking about it.
  6. No they didn’t. Many had no clue where they were going; there was no choice. Similar to the other comment wishing the death of all Russians on the actions of the few. What are you guys smoking? It is good news that the 237th has been taken apart and we all hope Ukraine prevails, but all Russian soldiers or all Russians aren’t to blame; the buck stops with one unhinged, arrogant lunatic!
  7. It was bound to happen eventually, as with YouTube thumbs-down. Similar happened with Thaivisa a few years back when + and - reactions were changed to + only. On the other hand, having dislikes cheapens overall ‘reputation’ against genuine likes, if dislikes are indeed tallied. Also, some members would automatically ’sad’ or ‘laugh’ at anything other members said to the point where it all got a bit silly. Anyway, off topic and will no doubt be deleted.
  8. How bizarre, but whatever floats your boat. FYI there are huge ones in the UK too, but what use does a standard household have for one just to say ‘we have a huge tumble drier’? The large Otteri laundromat industrial driers are gas and electric powered and are all over Thailand. Would they be big enough or do you want to dry your entire tambon’s clothes all at once because you can? ????
  9. Slightly more than 299 baht, slightly less than 301 baht. The kicker is, will they pay out if one has an accident? ????
  10. Apologies for the overly negative tone on a people but I hope the place sinks… for the betterment of the rest of us and planet earth. If we get dragged down too, then so be it!
  11. That and not wanting their citizens to die when it all kicks off.
  12. What’s that got to do with the price of fish? Easy on the guilt tripping. Look at all the European powers; everyone was at it. 2baht is on point. The Chinese do this stuff for one reason and they cannot stand foreigners.
  13. All about one feeble little man and his aspirations for empire and ‘greatness’. Cannot believe this shizer is still happening in 2022. He needs putting down just like that other little prune in the ‘40s. Pathetic.
  14. The military junta is NOT Thailand, Lavrov, you unhinged so & so. Yuck!
