  1. this is Thailand, ripping off farangs is mandatory, all they see are the profits they can get then when their greed causes less people to use them they whinge, low & high season rates are used around the world but banging on extra rates to enhance profits after a slow down shows the greed of the thais. Maintaining fair rates that would ensure a longer term of usage by visitors they push up profit margins causing a shorter usuage period and they end up losing money instead, shows their pathetic brain set
  2. My wife is totally devastated, we buried our cat yesterday, he was killed by a pack of dogs from the factory 100 metres away,(the other side of a rubber tree & palm oil area), no fencing and the dogs just roam where they want to. To say I was incensed would be an under statement, I wanted to kill all of the dogs involved, the fact Thailand has no laws about these dog packs roaming free sucks big time plus the fact thais dont care what they do is pathetic. I have 4 dogs and they stay in our yard(1 rai) unless they are on theirn leash but too many thais just let their dogs run free because they dont want to have to clean up after them or in many cases feed them, one of our dogs was a puppy from the factory that wandered over to our house a few years ago, she is that friendly it isnt funny and used to play with the cat, they would even sleep together. Unfortunatey the majority of thais dont have any regard for pets/animals, they dont feed them regularly, dont bath them or take care of them, they just let them wander and do as they please, the anger I feel at what these dogs have done due to how the factory owners lack of responsibility is immense, I have never seen my wife so upset and I am fighting the urge to remove the dogs permanently. I realize this is just a rant but the devastation my sife is suffering is making it very hard for me to think rationally.
  3. The LGB community is well accepted , there life, their choice, the problem is the trans groups that try to push their gender preference onto everyone else. There are only 2 sexes, male & female and these cannot be changed, this is scientific fact, men do not have internal female body parts, they cannot get pregnant, they cannot have menstruation etc, females claiming to be male are still female so trying to claim that them being pregnant shows men can have babies is a load of bunk. I have no problems with gay people and respect their choices, I also have no problems with those that live as the opposite gender, the problem is those that demand they be accepted as the opposte gender and that they have the same rights as that gender and be referred to as that gender. They are still the original gender they were born as, having gender dysphoria does not give them any special treatment, what Trump has done males this law, it doesnt detract from the gay community only those that are pushing their activist BS.
  4. the reason is in the meaning, traveller can be the driver/one opertaing it, passenger is not the one driving or operating it: also their is no mention of the gender of the person meaning it is for both male & female showing that the removal of it for being gender specific is total BS passenger noun [ C ] uk /ˈpæs.ən.dʒər/ us /ˈpæs.ən.dʒɚ/ Add to word list A2 a person who is travelling in a vehicle but is not driving it, flying it, or working on it: airline/rail/train/car passengers passenger train a train carrying people rather than goods:
  5. unfortunately many thais have no regard for their animals, I ave seen it many times over the years, they do not want to take care of them a t all and prefer to let them wander the streets to get food and crap where ever they want exept in their own yards., There are many that do do the right thing, feed them properly, walk them and bath them but they are in the far greater minority. At our other house near the lake there were that many stray dogs constantly there it wasnt funny, the dogs get into all the rubbish ans as many thais just throw their garbage on the ground it was soon spread everywhere. The cruelty is also there for everyone to see, kicking dogs or using sticks on them, I have seen cars swerve to try to run over them as well, they simply have no regard for the animals at all nor do they want to take responsibility for them, much easier to let them roam
  6. the UK is fast becoming the laughing stock of the world with their BS pandering to muslims & the woke crowd, the police force is a joke and so woke they are useless, what was once a good place to live has become totally pathetic and run by far left idiots.
  7. can someone explain how passenger isnt gender neutral, where is the male/female reference in the word itself, this really shows how pathetic the UK has become, it is now the capitol country of woke BS and the people are fast becoming sheep letting a very small minority decide what everyone can do and say
  8. really, as far as we all know you may well have your hand on it as well. Thai drivers/riders in general are not the best, many have no idea of the actual road rules, at the video training during licence renewal all of them are too busy on their phones and not watching, they are not interested in what the laws are. Their learner driving is pathetic at best, our daughter did 1 week of driving around an enclosed track, drove on an actual road for an hour or so and was given a licence, she had no idea at all how to do a lot of basic driving skills, the questions were multiple choice after a couple of hours of reading them without actually understanding what they meant plus no one was failed for getting them wrong. Many riders/drivers are unlicensed, they refuse to follow the rules because it doesnt suit them, they drive the way they want, they drive the opposite way on roads, they overtake on double lines/blind corners, they cut right turning corners forcing oncoming cars off the road, they overtake into oncoming traffic flashing their lights to say they are not going to give way, they drive through red lights a lot, they do not give right of way, they just stop in the lane they are in to go into a shop, they pull out in front of other cars to get where they want to be forcing the cars to stop, they think being "rich" or driving an expensive car gives them the right to do as they please, many are arrogant and simply refuse to let others get in their way. The police do not enforce road rules and only go out to get tea money, you may or may not be what you claim but you also show you are an appologist for the poor driving in this country. There are some good drivers/riders in Thailand but the greater majority are not among them. I have been driving for over 50 years, cars, bikes, trucks, busses, heavy equipment as well as service vehicles, I understand road safety very well and have never caused an accident, thais do not have the same driving sense, while some of what you say is correct trying to take the blame away from the poor driving skills/mentallity of thais is a white wash as is calling anyone pointing out how bad they are as being racist. You really need to pull your head from where you have stuck it, your summations are in your head only and not fact, I am calling BS on your claims.
  9. people can eat whatever they want to but no one has the right to try to force everyone else to become vegans and go out of their way to try to make meat eaters look like criminals. Vegans take suplements for a balanced diet to cover up for the food they refuse to eat, this alone shows that a vegan diet is not as great as they try to make out. Now we see they are trying to claim cavemen ate a vegan diet which is in itself a laugh but shows the desperation they are going to to make themselves look natural. Then we have the vegan restaurants going broke or having to introduce non vegan dishes to their menus to try to get customers to use them, unfortunately for vegans the general public are not interested in doing it, vegans need to accept they are the odd ones out and leave everyone else to their own gastronomic preferences without all the drama and BS they carry on with.
  10. I only use them when I cant get what I want elsewhere, some items do have rediculous delivery charges though, they sell the item cheap then wack the profit onto delivery but then again so do some thai sellers on shopee & lazada. Delivery times have sped up though recently, had one delivered in a week and others not much longer
  11. biggest problem on the road is the arrogance of the drivers/riders and a lot of it is due to the lack of a police presence/enforcement of the rules. The fact that many have no idea of the road rules/ignorance is also a big part of it, when they think they can do as they please it becomes a lot more dangerous for everyone else. Thais do have their own driving/riding style, they think everyone else should let them go first and move out of their way, they see nothing wrong with forcing their way to get where they want to be and pushing into oncoming traffic, they see pedestrians as fair game even on crossings, I have seen them swerve to hit animals, they appear to have a very macabre sense of thinking. Walking in Thailand can be risky, I have been hit by motor bikes in walking areas and had to jump out of the way of cars, they just dont care and it is getting worse, maybe enforcement of the rules and proper driver/rider training as well as stricter licence tests instead of the garbage system they use now would help but it will never happen.
  12. again we see a bike accident with kids, was she licenced, if not why was she out on a motor bike at that time, while the car driver was in the wrong, like many other accidents it may have been avoidable if the law was enforced, way too many unlicenced kid riders are involved in accidents when they should not be on the roads apart from going to and coming from school. Unfortunately many thai parents dont give a s*** what their kids do as long as they do not interfere with what they are doing, riding illegally doesnt bother them at all, it all boils down to the police not enforcing the road rules and doing their jobs, sorry for the girls but there is a more involved than just the car driver
  13. will always be those that want to big note themselves with the BS claim of being ex SAS, dont know about the UK SAS but spent some time with the aussie guys in the dive wing back in the 70's when I was a lot better body wise. I found them to be very down to earth, the older guys would open up on some of what they had done but making out they were more than others was something they didnt do. I had a ball working with them and will always hold it up as one of the best times I spent during my service, maybe the bragging is a UK thing as I just didnt see it with the aussies, then again its more than likely those that never served or were in a basic unit, will always be BS from some that just like to big note themselves.
  14. looking great, no more dei, only men & women so no more trans BS in sports etc, so far its looking very good with a lot of the leftisit crap removed
  15. really have to wonder at how pathetic someone is to let politics or religion to come into dating or getting a bit, all this does is show just how deluded dem voters are, cant have it off with anyone if someone didnt vote the way they demand them too. Mate you are a total drop kick, just goes to show the demented thinking of dems, they believe they are the be all and end all of everything, its why they were totally screwed over by the US voting public and lost in every instance, the presidency, the senate, the house and the vote, looks like you also lost getting a bit on the side, hahahahaha.
  16. generally sending plant material outside Thailand requires a phytosanitary certificate to ensure it is not infected/carrying anything untoward, when my wife sends seeds to the US and elsewhere a phyto is needed or they are returned/destroyed
  17. Spot on mate, they all see the dollar/baht signs they can make from ripping off farangs with the new tax BS, it is all just a money grab, something thais seem to be pretty good at.
  18. the armed forces are there to protect the country not bow down to woke culture designed to suit the pathetic democrat play book, the US armed forces used to be recognized as an elite fighting force, now they are regarded as a joke. Getting them back to where they were before biden totally f'd them up is the only way to go especially with all the world conflicts, getting rid of the BS gender crap is the first thing that needs to go then all the other woke crap that was pushed onto them.
  19. why in the hell would I be interested in anything about the f'd uk BS, in Australia it is a piece of wood, 4" x 2", perfect size to knock some sense into idiots
  20. the idiots voted for a woke govt now they can reap what they voted for, the UK is f'd
  21. time for the govt to lock this idiot up or deport her, calling for violence is beyond a joke, a piece of 4 x 2 would fix the problem
  22. I went in yestreday to get something and as usual it was out of stock so I refreshed a couple of times and got it(no longer out of stock), must be a glitch with their software
  23. some couriers will openly lie about deliveries, I have had it several times over the years, even had one courier deliver my packge to someone over 100 klm away. A lot comes down to which courier they use, some have no problem lying about not being able to deliver for various reasons, no one home or courier was phoned asking to delay delivery for another day seem to be the most popular.
  24. I too have noticed that some of the more popular restaurants have dropped the bundle on their food quality, they were great at one stage but their quality has dropped a lot, The thing is I have also found that local mum & pop shops have maintained their quality and service so we have dropped going to bigger name shops and go to the smaller local ones and still get great food. If I had to put up a reason it would be profits in the bigger name ones, they are now after a lot more profit and dropping quality and service are the result while mum & pop shops havent changed, they rely on regular customers without all the fancy bits & pieces, they are cheap and very good while maintaining the quality of their ingredients as well as service. As for coffee I find starbuck s coffee is garbage as is most of the brand name coffee, again they rely on their name only and not the quality. If I want to get a good coffeee I go the the smaller shops, I select the roast not accept the style they make the shop use or I make it at home with beans I buy and grind it myself. Many thais as well as other only go to branded shops because they want people to think they are more than they really are, same with some restaurants, when I read about all the crap about big brand shops I cant stop laughing, this is Thailand, its not the west so everything depends on profits, this is one of the first things you learn living here, profits are more important than anything else especially with branded shops, maybe do as the locals do and eat at the better mom & pop shops
  25. they do not belong on the foot path and I am sure a few years ago they stopped it or tried. I have been hit by an idiot racing through people that were walking, they should be on the road where they belong but many thais do what is easiest for them and do not give a stuff about anyone else, its the same on the roads, they just ignore the law when it suits them. I do know that the next time some idiot on a motor bike comes close to me on a foot path they will be "accidentily" knocked off their bike when I stretch my arms cause I didnt see them & that I am aware the law says that thewy shouldnt be there
