Fake news? Was it more than 2000 then?

In hand...Slightly unfortunate choice of words there.

Yes, the roads are poorly designed and maintained but in many cases, the riders are not willing or capable of adapting to the conditions. Speed, speed and more speed is the only way they know.

Modern smart TVs are actually pretty user friendly. Once you plug it in and turn it on for the first time it will offer you a choice of languages which once you have selected one which you can a read it will guide you through the setup process without any real dramas. Entering your WiFi password, plugging in the aerial and letting the TV scan for the digital channels is about as taxing as it gets. They are, as the saying goes pretty much idiot proof. The couple of major decisions you need to consider (in my humble opinion) when buying a new TV are... Picture quality. Do you actually need 4K or is Full HD (1080p) okay for your needs. Remember that what services you wish to use or pay for will determine this. For example, with Netflix the subscription you choose, your WiFi speed and what you're willing to pay will determine whether you can stream in 4K or 1080p. There is no point in paying extra for a 4K TV and then never using it to it's full capability. I don't believe that any Thai TV channels are broadcast in 4K but I'm happy to stand corrected on this. It's also worth considering what ports (HDMI, USB etc) are on the back of the the TV and does it support Bluetooth just in case you wish to add a sound bar or some other other speaker system. For the most part, most modern TVs have a great picture but horrendous, tinny sound quality, which is made even worse when people choose to fix their TVs to the wall because the tiny little speakers that these slim TVs have are on the back of the TV so the sound they produce is therefore not being projected out into the room.

Most, if not all TV sticks, boxes and dongles connect to a TV via a HDMI port and are powered either by a mains adapter or USB. So as long as they are in range of your WiFi they should work in all TVs manufactured in this day and age.

Kind of ironic really because sometimes it smells like it is a 100 million years old...

Child killers are the lowest of the low. He should never taste freedom ever again.

Good. I must get my long johns out of storage...

Monday to Friday - Toast and coffee. The weekend - Toast and slightly more expensive coffee.

Get yourself a corset. And after a while you'll get used to having skimmed milk in tea, I did.

Okay, my price and terms and conditions are in the post...

It's a bold and dangerous statement to say "I never get sick". Nobody can predict what will happen in the future.

November 1st this year?

Rainforests around the world rejoice!

Fake news? We will know for sure if people vaccinated with MRNA vaccines start to glow in the dark.

The expression "sitting on a small fortune" now has a whole new meaning...

Is that fun guy or fungi? If it's the latter then is more about him being kept in dark and fed on BS.

Before the pandemic, I never really complained about anything here, with the exception of the general standard of driving which is an utter disgrace. That all changed when the vaccine rollout began simply because it really looked like us non Thais would be firmly at the back of the queue. This is something that pretty much no other country in the world was doing with their vaccine rollout, singling people out because of their nationality. In my book this is completely unforgivable. Interestingly, now I'm fully vaccinated my opinion hasn't changed at all because the reason I'am now vaccinated has nothing what so ever to do with the Thai government. It is due to the US donated Pfizer (thanks by the way), and all the foreign volunteers who helped organize it.

He must be chuffed now that all of us unclean Brits who never shower and are solely to blame for Covid being in Thailand in the first place can now go home...

Somebody actually talking sense at last and willing admire and emulate what other countries have done. Learning to live with this virus is the only way forward. In the long term, lockdowns just create more problems than they solve.

Controversial!!! He is potentially going to get into trouble for not recommending vaccines produced by Thailand's puppet masters.

Well, I'm now double vaccinated with Pfizer but have no intentions of dropping my guard and will continue to live my life for the foreseeable future the same way I have been doing for the last 18 months.

A good colour for a Fortuner considering the reputation of many of the people who drive them here ....Red means danger! Keep out of my way or else....!

So we are definitely not entitled to our own opinion then. Good to know!

Recently, my wife tried to send some longan from Chiang Mai to Bangkok for her daughter. They opened the package at the post office to check the contents and then told my wife that currently in Thailand you cannot send fruit of any kind via mail.
