If you are using the scale of Kamala Harris as being "dumb as a box of hammers" compared with yourself, where do you think you are? I think the box is completely empty! Come to think of it, maybe there is no box either!

Sorry Mike, they are not my figures, I am only the messenger! Its true that many products including food are more expensive but they have been taken account of in the figures. I am quoting official figures; if they are fake, I will ask you to try to explain how and why, other than you find it hard to believe. https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_inflation_rate

I am aware that trumpers prefer to shout a number that sounds insanely high that few people (other Trumpers) will fact check against a number that is well within acceptable levels. The actual figure of 2.89% annually is not insanely high as stated by another member which is the reason I commented on this aspect in the first place

I looked it up before I posted my comment - shame you don't like it!

Inflation in USA as we speak is 2.89% and is in line with Government economic strategy.

Which is why I won't fall for it!

Three people are confused; My sentence above was badly written. I have had a few bad experiences with Thai people (two girlfriends in particular) and, yes, that was a reality. However, these random experiences are not enough to cloud my judgement over my general impressions and experiences with Thai people as a whole: those I know and all those I have encountered during normal daily life! The above comment is about the contrast between Bob and I, as his experiences are the opposite of mine.

Thank you for the good wishes. The negative reality of one occasion I can take - what I wouldn't like would be if your reality of constant Thai harassment became mine!

I am sorry I cannot excuse you on this occasion and most other occasions, as your negativity towards Thai people is plain to observe on most topics on the forum, and while accepting you have some supporters who agree with you, I think, maybe I am in the majority who do not! Chris, an Englishman in Thailand for more than 20 years that has no problems worthy of mention for just about all Thai people I have ever met. Good luck with "doing stuff" in the afternoon and "hammering" in the evening.

Hardly a viewpoint is it? Can't you find yourself a place to socialise, that's a little more scenic?

If you were to wear the same glasses as the OP, maybe your perception of Thai people would improve!

Thank you very much I used to have DTac but now with AIS so for me the charge per month for Outsiders is B799 per month

He wants it on his home computer! I would be interested to know too Can I just download the TRUE app to my PC? I know I will have to pay!

A more important issue is the economy! Even his own supporters are pleading with Trump not to keep damaging his own and their campaign by simply name-calling! They asked him to talk about the issues; for example, the economy Watch his self-proclaimed intellectual speech on the economy. Some people on this Forum will think it is mind-blowingly great, Spoiler - it isn't!

The "stolen Valour" meme has been debunked a few times - keep up!

I meant to include baiting and waiting. And of course - Arrogance

A highly prejudicial post, not worthy of any further comment.

I thought somebody would ask me that! Of course not! I am one that believes sometimes people do things that are certainly not acceptable but they can be so genuinely upset or angry that they justify to themselves anything that might allow them a, "now we are quits" My original comment simply expresses a possibility that the photo looks more like a deliberate attempt to trash the room in one incident rather than it being a result of prolonged negligence. It matters not to me whether I am right or wrong.

I find this photo a little difficult to process: It is stated that it is a "rented room". If it is only one room being rented then there doesn't seem to be a bed, no sink, no obvious signs of kitchen equipment and nowhere to shower. To me, that photo doesn't show me that the tenant was incredibly untidy but that everything was just thrown in there. I think there are other parts of the accommodation that we can't see and maybe as a result of a separate dispute, the tenant decided to leave and get revenge! On the face of it it looks like a disgusting tenant - but is there more to it?

An excellent and thoughtful comment to a disrespectful question.

Answering the question How to increase your free time: Don't do anything!

When he writes it, "Crime and Punishment" by Donald Trump - from his prison cell!

An important matter that is hardly mentioned is that recorded covid deaths and suffering are additional to deaths and suffering from all other causes, whatever you want to call them, including flu.

It is widely recognised as almost certainly originating from the first recorded case in Kansas, USA, in March 1918

Yes, they are!! Businesses, particularly the corporate ones all over the world have one major objective: "Maximise Profits" They market themselves in ways that are designed to be confusing and misleading. It is difficult these days to to buy anything at the price it is offered at! What irritates me is that sometimes, as a Member, one will see a price for something and in the time one has done some research (just a few minutes) and decided to book the original viewing, the price has increased. With regard to Agoda and Booking dot coms, I have been a Member for fifteen years and until I married my Thai wife seven years ago, I booked under my name with them. Since then, I go to Agoda etc only to look for what I want and when I find it, my charming wife goes direct to the Hotel or resort, does a deal that is nearly always a better one. And you might be surprised to learn that when we check in, they never register me, only my wife; I am talking over the period, about 40 times in many parts of Thailand; hotels large and small. A few years ago, I flew to Shanghai and back to Bangkok. In looking for a good deal, I first went to Thai Airways and obtained a price. Later in my search I went to Indian Airways and got a deal at half the price. Nothing special about that but I noticed that the flight details (Indian) showed that it was exactly the same as the Thai and the same flight number. I did the trip and yes, it was as I understood it - the same flight. same plane.
