Vegetarian are we? ???? Pork and chicken have seen huge increases in the last few months especially chicken in the last 3 months. I cook most of the meals for my family, whether it be Thai or Western cuisine as they're out working so I buy the food! Within the last year chicken breasts have gone from about B45 kg to over B100 kg in Big C yesterday.

I don't live in a tourist area but certain places expect a tip from foreigners because it's what they have got used to, especially the 2-3 bars that the foreigners frequent in the local area. I don't understand why people tip in these places, over-priced beer and food with lousy service, even the lazy waitresses look like an advert for Michelin tyres! Now I will often say keep the change after eating out (if under B40) if I've had decent service, normally it's gratefully received. Poor service then definitely no tip. I know a guy who is a generous 'tipper' who thinks he will get special attention next time by tipping. If it makes him feel fuzzy good inside then good for him, I'd rather save it up for a donation to the local school for the blind. A good family friend told me that excess tipping by anyone is considered a character weakness and is frowned upon (but obviously accepted!) J.M.O.

That's exactly what I read but wasn't 100% sure .....In panic mode! Cheers!

I'm in a predicament! I've had to change my flights etc. to arrive in Thailand on Saturday! (was going to be next month) Entering V.E. What are the requirements regarding insurance etc, Thailand Pass ?

AU – Thailand Post Not sure if the links on there website work ....Typical Thailand!

Deroaster........ What this way?

Why are you looking at the Vietnam News Topic? Duh! ????

I just phoned one of them and they are still testing at the airport.

I read awhile ago that BKK airport has two clinics offering quick results and med cert, on the 1st floor near Gate 3 and between Gate 7-8. I've got a friend flying out who needs a similar test so .......... Are they still operating?

Use Dee .......... Wise in reverse. Easy Peasy!

Snap! Little Emperors ... Hard to live with.

That's expensive! Go for this deal: BOGOF

My first venture into 'performance' ..... Really fun to drive. Followed by a Sierra Cosworth then a string of Evo's!

China does singing glasses now? ....My oh my, whatever next!????

I've got a wide range of genres that I enjoy listening to (with the exception of country music) from the sixties up to the present day. I don't think nothing will surpass the 70s-80s but maybe I'm biased because those were my rebel years! There's some great songs about in this 'modern era' of music. 'The Midnight' is a band I come across whilst perusing YouTube a few weeks ago, amazing sax in some of their songs. Sax begins at 3.20 in this clip:

Why are you trying to condone the act of poisoning? It's estimated over a dozen dogs died that night in our soi and surrounding area, pets and soi dogs. Other casualties included many cats and birds, including some beautiful large herons. This was two months ago. Like most dogs in the countryside, they sleep all day. Sometimes at night an odd howl or bark from somewhere could be heard but that's part of rural life up here. Regardless, all the dogs and cats around here were well cared for by the locals. I can understand some people have a hatred or even a phobia about dogs but indiscriminate poisoning is not the way to solve someone's personal problem or vendetta. Let's leave it at that shall we?

I helplessly watched my 2 dogs die from poisoning ...... The posters on here that condone this action should be subject to witnessing this cowardly act then sample it for themselves. A$$holes

Takes one to know one .......................

Not the White Lightning I used to know then? Same effect though!

I've been playing badminton for the past 3 years with the same group, sometimes up to 5 times a week. For the last couple of weeks some of the group haven't been playing, now I know why ... Covid! Several of us went down with it at the same time. One guy who has been playing was asymptomatic and passed it on. I felt slightly unwell on Wednesday-Thursday, Had a positive ATK on Friday morning so went to the local Gov. Covid clinic. Now doing my 10 day home isolation stint. Triple Pfizer jabbed. I've been abiding by the guidelines pretty well as regards wearing a mask and washing my hands with gel 10,000 times a day! Slight fever, very runny nose and feeling lethargic, just like a bad cold. Sleeping extremely well, eating well and love the paranoid attention from my missus. No talking just messages, instant room service. Told her I might have to isolate on a more regular basis! Oh, according to the locals 40% proof liqueur with lime is a cure so I'll go along with that! Seriously, The first time I've been ill since leaving the UK over 12 years ago. Never liked getting a cold then and certainly don't like the symptoms I'm experiencing now. IMHO, glad I had my jabs, it could be a lot worse. If this is the 'new normal' then I'm going to continue being cautious as this virus is so contagious, more so than a cold virus. Will it ever end? Keep well, keep safe.

A few minutes ago: Hope it helps!

Plenty of videos on YouTube about the Win 11 taskbar. Looks simple enough to move it to the top. They do say that it's not designed to be on the top so some of the displays probably won't function as they should. I'll stick with Win 10 for now.

+1 ✔️ .... Very strange I'm actually agreeing with someone! Weird. I'd better go and upset my neighbour (Canadian).

Today at: 16.03pm I submitted my TM47 online. 16.04pm got the 'successful' email. 16.23pm got the new TM47 email. Roi-Et office. Wow! New benchmark for immigration! Well Done!
