Yepp, Enklich is my third language... sorry 😉

I get a bit annoyed when I can not have a beer or glass of whine with my Pizza when I have a late lunch with friends at Whine Connection. Has absolutely nothing to do getting hammered.

Hot to do to have an AI not to lie to you.. Its ok to link to Face book right? https://www.facebook.com/reel/1128040115768232

And warning for Goolgle AI summary you get on top of most Goole searches. 8 out of 10 is miss-leading or totally a lie. AI (Even Deep seek) Told my friend it was domestic alcohol ban in Thailand during last election, My friend almost refused come to Bangkok his last day in Thailand because of that. He say better alcole free day by by the beach in Hua-Hin than a dry night/day in Bangkok. I had a problem convince him there was no ban in Bangkok,. Another friend is writing some document about Stockholm of all Cities, and on the question "How many Stockholm are there in the world?" AI Summary said "Where is only ONE Stockholm in the world" on the same search page it stated 10, and Maps found 4 with ease. I was getting some Creole spice mix for free with a delivery and I didn't know what a creole was, so I looked it up and AI Summary told me it was a dish originated from Louisiana. A little fact check told me that was a lie, Louisiana Creole is originated there and seams to be one of the more popular ones, but its originated during the colonial times, from the fusion between African, European and pre-Columbian traditions. Another friend of mine got problem with his heart he got Afib, and the AI told him he can expect to live about 5 years. Two other friends with chronic Afib hav had is from teenage still alive at 40 and 50+ Always fact check the lying AI's maybe they are trying to instinct humans already with their lies and miss-leading information.

The No#1 Health concern that kills more people than anything else is Hypertension, It causes so many varieties of deadly medical conditions. Heart attack or Stroke, Kidney failure, Aneurysm, Metabolic syndrome, Dementia and many more. Unfortunate when people dies from most of the examples above the cause of death is rarely linked to or named Hypertension.

Maybe because they didn't want to risk the life of all passengers since Samui runway is to short for a 777, also it's not an international airport could have made things much more complicated for everyone onboard the plane,

I would't call that a fake 1000 baht note, he was fooled by an altered 100 Note.

They were exchanging Cash for cash to get notes to distribute to class mates for the graduation, My guess is the mistake was to give them 30x 1,000 Baht notes instead of 30x 100 Baht notes in an envelope, and they didn't open the envelope until after they got home. Then if it was 40x50 Baht Notes the mathematics seams correct. Probably they wanted to hand out one envelope containing 100 Baht each to every student. I do not believe this is fictional. Good job girls, more stories like this should reach the media attention.

Correct Should have been Cambodia. To my defence Im home with a terrible Influenza

Im not sure how cutting out electricity in Bangkok would help curb the scam callcenters from Myanmar and Burma?

Still today this is an issue, But with a letter from Immigration promising that you will get a VISA if you have a WorkPermit you can get the Work permit before they issue the VISA. Or if it's the other way around.

When I got a new passport and had to change passport number I had to go to the other side of Bangkok to the branch I initially opened the account. I needed to change my PP number so my account matched my new Passport number when I had to scan my face to be able to transfer 50,000 and up. Update the Passport number took a week.

As long as I have known my Thai Wife, 14 years now, she has been using the same cellphone number registered in my name since I got an extra free cellphone number I had no use for while subscribing for 02 land line for my company, and a TV package. Now suddenly she is not allowed to use online banking any longer, Only bank book at bank until we have either sorted out how to transfer the account to her, or she has to get a new number and we stop the number included in the package. Stupid...

Yes and they do not understand or speak Thai well. Usually english works much better.

I agree it is so ugly, and those probably would need 10 treatments, every treatment fade the tattoo a little bit, and apparently does not any harm to the skin

Luckily with today's Laser technology there is not a single tattoo that can not be removed. But apparently it is much more expensive and painful to have them removed than putting them, and you might need several treatments before its totally gone. A friend of mine had one removed after he divorced his wife. The new girlfriend didn't like to se his ex wife name on his chest all the time.

I have two friends that is dentists one even a Professor, and both say no, not if you don't have any issues with them, The damage was done when they were put there, and they say amalgam if far the best material for fixing caries if if was not for the mercury exposure when they are put there. Second best material to fix teeth is apperently precious gold, The composite plastic once tend to deteriorate over time.

I believe that Canada and Thailand has a Tax agreement and unless Taxes in Thailand is higher than Toronto you would not need to pay any taxes here.

That was so 2024...

I saw the CCTV video of this accident on TV, and it looked like the driver was standing outside of the car trying to recharge in to the pedals with his left foot. Was he trying to hit the break but accidentally floored the accelerator instead? He got squeezed in between the open door he was standing behind on his car and the white pickup in the picture. RIP

Never go parasailing from a boat that start and land on the beach, The boats with a platform you sit on at start and they just winch you up in the sky and back to the platform after the trip is like 1000 times safer.

You in most cases can eat totally raw chicken (or pork) without getting sick, but there is a small risk of getting food poisoning so why risk it? Also I guess the Chicken you ate was not completely raw. Probably it was cooked on the out side and looked raw in the center close to bones, and if so it probably was heated enough to be safe to eat anyway. I prefer Chicken cooked so they are juicy and soft. Not dry and boring.

I took another bolt yesterday from same starting point to same stopping point, I payed the 151 baht the app stated, no problem there. I probably will avoid the option "Taxi" in Bolt that say meter +20 baht, the other options has a fixed price and probably the drivers pick the fastest most efficient route. I believe the Meter+20 baht gives the drivers the option to do like in my case choose terrible routes with a lot of traffic to "Fuel" the meeter. It was actually the first time I tried this option in Bolt I did use it a few times with Grab earlier tho. I checked the Bolt application after the arrival when he told me the price and also the app the price had changed from 171 to 266. I earlier had my Credit card connected to Bolt and Grab, but I disconnected it when Grab stared to charge the maximum estimated rate with Grab Taxi or the fixed fee with Just Grab the same second they found a driver. then many times the driver cancelled the ride and it took weeks before I got the fare back to my account. Now I mostly scan pay. I have started to check price for the trip in both Grab and Bolt before I book the trip and I have noticed that on most cases Bolt is much cheaper than Grab, some times half the price. only a few times I have seen lower price in Grab. I don't care about the 3$ extra I always give tip to drivers anyway. It is the principle and if many does like this gives taxis a bad reputation. If I see a price in the app when I book and even after the trip started I expect to pay that, not 50% extra and I also became late to my meeting instead of getting early by his choice of route. If he would have followed the GPS suggestions of fastest routes Im sure I would have been there close to an hour earlier.

Yesterday I took a taxi from home to Sukhumvit, I choose Taxi 130-171 Baht and it say meeter plus 20 Baht. The normal driver and economy were all busy. My GPS said it would be a 45 min trip with tolls and 1h 5 min with out tolls. I choose to use tolls. I thought 20 minutes faster could be worth 50 baht and I would be there in good time. The app stated 171 baht when I started the trip. I was checking the GPS on the way and twice the taxi driver choose a path on the highway that added 15 minutes each to the estimated time. Then when we drove off the highway we ended up having to drive long i the direction towards Lumpini in very heavy basically standing still traffic and then u turn and go back. Totally the 45 minutes trip took 1 hour and 40 minutes. Taxi driver even stopped by the road and bought some food from a street vendor. When I at last arrived very late he demanded 266 baht, instead of the 171 initially said by the application. I have a feeling he intentionally took there longer slower routes to fuel the price. By the way so didn't he use the meeter in the Taxi, he just took the price from the app Never before have I payed more than about 160 baht for this trip. I hope this was a one time experience. Anyone else that has experienced this?

I believe I tried this one time, didn't work. Had to wait the 90 days from arrival and go there.
