  1. Ya, selective listening leaves me a lot happier in life. If only they could invent an algorithm that feeds us only the news we want to know ????
  2. The first large breasted fruit merchant story of the year is always kind of amusing. Three or four more and I'm going to stop clicking on them all together...unless the teaser image shows extraordinarily fine fruit.
  3. Seems like a clever way to try to get somebody else to pay for his sciatica surgery. He should at least meet them half way - spend the 150 baht on that travel insurance they always try sell you when booking a ticket ????
  4. "Thailand can play important diplomatic role in Ukraine-Russia conflict ahead of APEC" Wow - what a massively over-inflated estimate of Thailand's importance on the world stage ????
  5. This is correct, although Google does dump the trash automatically every 30 days. I had a similar problem and discovered that anything people have "shared" with me takes up virtual space in my account. I deleted years of junk from my "Shared with me" section and that got me down to just a few gig and I was able to downgrade my account. Be advised it takes google up to a 24 hours to update the "storage used" calculation we see in out accounts. Good luck ????
  6. Cooked but not refrigerated? Can you please send a photo of the packs of beans and the location in Makro if you get a chance? Thanks, W
  7. Are you talking about the full moon partiers or the government spokesmen?
  8. Dare say she would do a roaring business in melons and papayas too ????
  9. "according to government spokesman Thankorn Wangbungkhongchana's comments...the famed "Full Moon Party" in Koh Phangan (June 14th) is set to be something of a watershed moment for what the spokesman called the NEXT NORMAL." So a maskless ecstasy and alcohol fueled super spreader event is Thailand's approach to rebranding as the "Next Normal"? This is after all the bla bla bla about restructuring Thailand's tourism industry around more affluent family travelers. The full moon parties and "normal" really don't belong in the same sentence ????
  10. Getting something done at immigration has got to be among every farang's most stressful tasks. Can you imagine those immigration officers working in a room full of 150 stressed out farangs day after day? I dread being in there and I'm rarely there more than an hour ????
  11. Dude - not true! Where's a fella supposed to keep his Mia Noi?
  12. I suspect a sinister plot. The key term here is "Medical Grade" as defined by the Thai government. If they are distributing a million plants with very low THC content they will effectively degrade the outdoor grown gene pool. Dope growers make money. Rope growers will go broke ????
  13. Just tell em their bloddy app didn't work. That's a TOTALLY believable story considering the government's track record with apps and websites.
  14. The deadliest days on the roads are still less than 1/2 as many deaths per day as from Covid. I'm so glad the covid thing is behind us ????
  15. My biggest pet peeve is Jerks that refuse to wear a mask in the elevator - and our condo does nothing at all about it. Everywhere else I can simply walk away, but the elevator is the one tiny shared space everyone must use to get to home. Our Juristic manager is an anti masker who manipulates condo rules and enforcement to enable his own sociopathic conduct. Unfortunately the management company is spineless and honors this guys every whim. TIT ????
  16. Banging on the Indian tourists already? How are Indians even remotely implicated in a crappy Thai van drivers screw up? Just last week we heard that Indian tourists were going to bail out the Thai tourism industry. I'm starting to think the Tourism industry has a few more challenges ahead than the government would like to think.
  17. What have folks paid for full mouth implants? Recommendations for doctors or clinic for a full set of dental implants? My friend needs all teeth removed and either dentures or implants. Thanks for any guidance ????
  18. "Stupid weed" used to mean the weed was so strong it made ya stupid. This must be moron weed...you'd have to be a moron to spend money on it.
  19. Thailand is trying to hide behind a rock until it's all over, by telling the world that it is a meaningless player in the global community. Sounds about right.
  20. Remember Jack and the Bean Stalk? That was just one plant. Nuf said. Good going RTP.
  21. Over the years I've found Lazada's "7 Day Easy Return" system to be automated, quick, and pretty flawless. Anything marked "Return to Seller" requires seller cooperation and can turn into a nightmare. That said Lazada leans on the customers side in disputes on those if you're willing to go through the hassle. The other thing I've noticed is that bad sellers often have nonsense Store ID's like "Asdqr8egc" and shaky or no seller reputation ratings. I suspect these are sellers that have multiple seller identities selling the same stuff and close and open stores frequently to stay nimble. If a seller is offering a prices that's a bit cheaper than everyone else - it's often doesn't work out as hoped.
  22. I can barely wait to see Thailand announce the new Oligarch level of Thai Elite visa.
  23. The government of my country has done a bunch of heinous deeds around the world in my lifetime, despite the fact that I've always participated by voting, attending peace and environmental protests, waved signs, signed petitions, and writing letters to my elected representatives. I suggest we give Russian citizens the benefit of the doubt before assuming they support Putin's war, or had any real opportunity to be effective against it.
