Instead of you giving the impression of having a high IQ it would be appropriate if you demonstrated more modesty! Also avoid double negatives ("I don't get no" means you DO)

It is NOT a scam. if anything at all it is a rip-off.

Thank you for that suggestion - I will follow that up

Thank goodness there are many places in Thailand that are not Phuket! And as an aside, where in the world is there not a problem with traffic?

My sister, living in Greece wants to send me a personal gift of money. At first she asked me if she could send me a cheque, that I guess would be in GBP or EUROS but I think that simply won't work. She doesn't have a PayPal or Wise Account and I have advised her not to use Moneygram or Western Union as the amount ( I am not sure how much) is likely to involve plenty of expense. My first suggestion to her is to contact her bank in UK or in Greece to tell them what she wants to do and if they can handle it! I know there are Members here that send money from their respective countries to Thailand from time to time so I appeal to them to offer the best way they believe is successful. I thank you in advance. Chris

I also say he should be locked up now - nothing to do with what Biden had said or done! Trump. among other serious issues is a convicted criminal and fraudster. Sentencing has been delayed until after the election. Whether he is elected or not Trump is in his own self-made mire and will have plenty of time to repent at leisure and to stew in his own juice in CLINK! And justice will not have been delivered if that doesn't happen!

A sign that says passing other cars is forbidden means changing lanes - that means to me that their claim is valid.

How do you know they are "unwatchable"? Are you psychic? And in any event, maybe millions of others think otherwise!

My original comments remain valid Your education has failed you and so has your inferred intelligence! I don't claim a high IQ. I have used what intelligence I have to recognise nonsense when I see and hear it! Trump is rutin for Putin and other Dictators; as well as his numerous other evil attributes, that makes Trump a traitor. IF Trump wins I will do nothing - it will only confirm my thoughts of irresponsible Americans.

Irrelevant!

"Somebody" is confused. My statement is clear enough!

Clearly you were not educated in morality or ethics. There are millions of educated people who are stupid for supporting such a disgusting and despicable individual as trump. Consider yourself in that group.

Might have been a stick or a crate of beer; might even have been a car!

And the great irony of this is that all drivers anywhere are themselves pedestrians when not in their vehicle. Perhaps we are talking Jekyll and Hyde syndrome here.

This topic has some comments suggesting the Poster sells and accept a loss but in order to sell a property that he now knows to be under a new flight path of a major International Airport, he might feel the need to conceal that fact from potential buyers that was denied him! The gratuitous offers of advice of "caveat emptor" always seems to appear in hindsight.

Seems like Somebody doesn't like the truth or is sad that I am right!

I will bet no street Vendors anywhere will ever pay tax - nobody keeps records they will divulge to the Tax office. Any customer ever got a receipt for anything?? Same goes for most businesses in the markets - very little accountability - and not just in Bangkok! The only accounting going on is counting the takings! The Tax department need some sort of accounts to show outgoings and income! Street food can be encouraged with proper management by the Authorities to ensure quality hygiene practices, enforced by regular inspections. Will corruption hamper theses ideals? Sorry to say, I think so! I think many street vendors make a pile and have got away with little overheads that restaurants have for example! About time time they were reined in and started paying their dues. By the way, I like Street food!

Yes, but some cricket matches last for 5 days!!

I understand the concept of learning. Sometimes we can learn from other people but obviously not from you!

Probably the "BS" in your ID

Quite right!! I wonder how these people would react when something was actually important enough! I have my moments of mild irritations every day, they go away and I forget all about it - no fuss, no bother and no need for whinging on this forum!

Would have been easier to tell him! Tell me as well, I don't know it. I have seen c/f which is "carried forward"

Nothing wrong with what they doing - it only takes a few seconds and the practice applies to all. In fact I have read somewhere that they are checking that products in the trolley equate with the bill, not to check for customer thieves, but that the Cashier hasn't missed an item with the bar coder,which means this is not a trust factor at all!

Any evidence for all this trash talk?

Trump will have no say in the matter after 5 November And with any luck he will be shouting from his prison cell!
