    I'd go in there with a couple of online screen shots of home clippers and ask him which brand of clipper he would recommend. I bought a really nice one for about 1700 baht right after Covid hit, and haven't been back to my barber since. Every now and then I kind of miss the camaraderie, but I also remember he made comments to the other customers about my shoe size just about every time I came in for a trim.

    Yes, thats what i did too, but i have to admit i havent fully got the hang of it yet.

  2. Looks like a good deal. 

    I may get one for my solar cctv camera when my true 1 year expires. 

    There is 1 or more apps available, where you pin your location on a map and it tells you which network has the widest and fastest coverage. 

    It may be called opensignal. 

    Im not 100% sure on the name. 

    Maybe there will be other members who know of such a app? 

  3. I thought there was no declaration card on arrival any more, or is that not applicable to travelers from the US? 

    Also, my friend traveled to samui in December and trained and fought for a mui tai gym without any need for a visa or any other immigration related paperwork. 

    I would be surprised if they made it hard for tourists to participate, seeing as they are always banging on about promoting it to the world.

    I will be flying to Phnom Penh, departing Suvarnabhumi Airport at 09:45, on Sky Angkor. My ticket seller, Trip.com, advises:

     

    "We make the suggestion to arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport at least 3hr prior to departure to ensure you have enough time to check in."

     

    Is this good advice, or is 3 hours overkill? What are other travelers' experiences?

     

    Better to be early than late.

    THAI will blame their ranking decline on Covid and their bankcruptcy. Nothing else. 

     

    THAI were, in my opinion, much better before Covid and all the cost cutting through bankcruptcy. As they shed staff, the onboard service and smiles declined. Food and beverage declined too. Still no menu cards in transcontinental business class and less quality choices. With the now higher fares being charged, there is no excuse for THAI not to be back in the top 10 globally. Just goes to show how poorly managed the airline still is.

     

    The cut in mileage redemptions awards in 2019 was dissapointing, but back then I would suspect that very few passengers in business or first class were paying for their seats. Also, the rumours of freebies for "connected individuals" was rife.  

     

    Having said the above, it is still my favoured airline for LHR/BKK/LHR due to scheduling and ease of travel (and until my ROP Gold expires).

     

    Youre right about that, and there is some substance in it from thai`s side of things, but the biggest reason for thais decline was that while the rest of the airline industry was introducing smaller less fuel guzzling aircraft, the exects at thai done a big deal for giant cumbersome aircraft that put them under extreem preasure to break even with high running costs, let alone compete with thier rivals.

  6. Sorry to the OP, but the words Line and security arent often heard in the same sentance. 

    You should treat the app as a bit of fun that you can socialise on, and never treat it as a secure app. 

    Once many years ago, my wife recieved a Line call from her cousin who lives in a local village, but on answering the call it turned out to be the jilted ex of another one of her Line contacts trying to gleen info from her. 

    If a jilted lover can manipulate the app in this manner, imagine what scammers can do? 

    The best thing you can do is uninstall the app, change your number and reinstall it, and using the app settings to allow only visibility to your contacts.

    I have noticed lately, that the larger women do much more to please their man.  I have always been a petite admirer, but lately, the big girls turn me on, much more accomodating, and I guess more to love?

    I suppose women could say the same about fat men.
