  1. There are quite a few bars if that is what you want. The Whale hotel has a massage place if that is your thing. Usual selection of restaurants. Difficult to say when you don't mention your interests.
  2. You claimed the addition of facial recognition was another push to a cashless society. The bank app is already cashless, nothing they do to it makes it more cashless.
  3. How is it pushing the cashless society? It is an extra level of security added to a cashless bank app.
  4. Went into my home branch of BBL a week ago, they understood what I wanted, took my picture and completed a bit of paperwork. Took about 10 minutes. Told it would work the next day and it did.
  5. 30,000 baht for glasses? I paid 14,000 for photochromic progressive lens glasses in a shop next to my local Makro. Stood on them about six months later so used the prescription to get new ones from Zenni for 5,000 baht.
  6. So Trump is woke? He panders to the extreme, is often nonsensical and dishonest and agrees with removing literature he doesn't like from libraries.
  7. From the article it seems he was never in prison. It appears he was fined and kept in IDC waiting to be deported. I suspect the conditions in IDC are rough but the pictures suggest you can have a mobile phone. It would also seem he needed the NZ embassy to get him a flight? Was that due to his conviction or because he had no money to buy a ticket?
  8. Historically enamel cookware started with cast iron. How is anyone supposed to gather that you were talking about carbon steel cookware when you mention enamel pans?
  9. Enamel cooking pans may be carbon steel but could also be cast iron or even aluminium. A carbon steel pan is bare carbon steel, an enamel pan is metal coated in enamel.
  10. Surprised no one has mentioned carbon steel. Most of the benefits of a cast iron pan but lighter, usually have a decent length handle that doesn't get red hot during use and unlikely to scratch the surface.
  11. Are you saying you would be forced to keep your digital currency in a bank? People would no longer be able to own stocks, gold, bonds, property etc. as investments?
  12. I like fishing and usually fish for hampala barbs in the local river. After watching a few videos on YouTube I decided to have a go at fishing for giant snakehead. I check Google Earth for old style canals with a concrete walkway in my area and give them a go. I start at sunrise and pack in when it gets too hot. Below is an example in Ban Phaeo district, Samut Sakhon. 20221102_080533.mp4
  13. If you click the link to the publication and click on Don Muang the reasons given are the golf course between the two runways and that the airport flooded in 2011.
  14. AIS have a Net Marathon SIM. Valid for 12 months and price varies depending on speed and data limit. About 1,800 baht for 10mbps and 100Gb per month.
  15. The article is from The Pattaya News, it is posted in the Pattaya News forum by AN. Why would anyone expect articles in this forum to cover people going nuts in Bangkok?
  16. I went to Siriraj government hospital a few months ago to see a specialist for diagnosis. I was examined and admitted that day for a minor operation. I was in a 4 bed air conditioned room with one other patient. Nurses came round regularly and food was provided. I had to pay the estimated cost before admission and was refunded money when the final bill was calculated for my discharge the following day. Great service.
  17. By my calculations they are paying about 30 baht per meal. I assume the meal is served to them and people tidy up afterwards. It may not be gourmet food but what do they expect for 30 baht?
  18. If you click on the shipping method it usually gives you other options to choose from. Aliexpress standard shipping is usually one of those other options.
  19. Recent experience is that the free shipping items are not arriving. If the shipping method is either Cainio or Aliexpress global super economy the items are routed via Malaysia. Malaysia post gives them a registered post type tracking number that shows on Malaysia Post website but is not recognised on Thai Post website. The item is updated to arrived in Thailand and nothing else happens. Three of my last four orders using those shipping methods have not been delivered. No problem with Aliexpress standard shipping.
  20. If this were a thing I would not be able to stay here. I have lived in houses owned by my wife and son, no rental agreement and no lease. My extension is granted due to having a TM30 and signed copies of house book and owners ID as proof of where I live. What would they do if you had a one year rental that ran out 3 months after your extension date? Someone has misinterpreted something.
  21. Similar to Heathrow. Only black cabs are authorized to pick up at the terminals. If you want to use ride hailing apps then pick up is at the single authorized vehicle area on the perimeter of the airport.
  22. Why not try a state hospital as the article suggests? Got my booster at the local state hospital, for free, last time.
  23. I've read the whole article and can't find the panic mongering. There is some information about an increase in covid hospitalizations, a suggestion that people may wish to have a booster and an assurance that it is not a strain on hospitals. Why do you think the article will cause panic?
