  1. I like the vibe on the high streets. Went back to the UK a few months ago and it was all drug addicts, immigrants, beggers, chuggers, chavs, protesters, and religious preachers.
  2. I was gonna say I have no idea but the op has replied saying he did all of those points. She sounds like she is becoming quite the gold digger over time with little compassion for the op. It's possible that she's been chatting to other Thais who have been bragging about what they get or hear others say they are getting from their farrang. Ultimately, I can only speculate, but either she's playing the long game, is being influenced, or getting greedy.
  3. You're not married so move on. It doesn't sound like she's bringing anything to the table. If you really like her then tell her she has to start spending within her means. If she can't handle that then she's not mature enough to have a relationship with in my opinion.
  4. I got caught out with that one last year. When the emails came through I did the reports, untill one time they didn't send it so I was late. I then couldn't do it online the next time due to system issues. I now have left the country twice since, so I'll have to do it in person again. My main point though was don't rely on the email, as it may not come. If youre a busy person, it's so easy to forget.
  5. I wonder what interview techniques they used to get this accurate information. Whatever interrogation tactics they used, it was clearly effective.
  6. Is this relating to the whole country or just Bangkok? I thought it was just Bangkok, but then they talked about Phrae
  7. May I ask how you got scammed by the online seller? It's always useful to know what scams are happening.
  8. It is what it is. As a forum it's always going to have people with differing opinions. The AI articles annoy me at times, but I'm not paying a subscription so it's fine. The US politics in so many non political threads puts me off too, but these threads are not generally asking for advice or from people wanting to learn something. On the threads where people genuinely have a question, I find members are very friendly and helpful.
  9. I guess you're not a Brit so you may call it a robe/bathrobe. It's only gay in my opinion if you wear your missus's
  10. I've seen it quite a few times here, but to me its not much different to mornings back in the UK where I'd sometimes walk to the local shop in my dressing gown to buy some milk and a paper.
  11. I wonder if the participating hotels will now increase their prices due to this.
  12. They don't need to look at it as they have the data in their screen. I think they are just copying what Singapore has in place. With a bit of luck, they will get rid of the majority of immigration officials too by using the electric gates to enter and leave the country.
  13. Are you preparing your skin properly? Have a hot shower or even better rest a hot hand towel on your face to open the pores before applying some preshave oil, then your shaving gel/soap. Make sure your blade is warm too and keep it warm throughout the shave.
  14. Changing every two years sounds a joke to me, especially for a normal car. If you see cracking on the sidewalls or notice a drop in performance then change them. Otherwise , they're likely taking you for a ridem. Regarding the battery, Honda were always telling me to change mine with my old car, what felt like every time that the battery went out of the one year warranty. I did the first time, but after that I went on how easy it was to start up. Psychologically, if they tell you it needs changing youre more likely to be concerned about it. I've not changed the battery on my ranger yet, and I won't change the battery until the truck itself tells me it's conserving battery (deep sleep mode or doesn't let me start it through the app)
  15. Based on how dark people have their windows tinted, the driver probably didn't even see her.
  16. As you are going past Kalasin, I would recommend stopping by Wat Phuttha Nimit (Wat Phu Khao). It's one of my favourite temples in the country.
  17. Erm, no... For general RTAs I find Thai people are very calm but this is not always the case. The law needs to consider all cases, hence my exception. Regarding being a coward, well not every man or woman is brave enough, or you could say foolish enough, to try and hold off the crowd.
  18. The only if or but that I think is acceptable is the fear of being lynched. In that case, the driver should go to the nearest police station immediately, not whenever it's convenient
  19. It would make more sense for you to make a poll. Have I ever hit a woman? No. Would I ever hit a woman? It's impossible to say as I have no idea what lies ahead. Hopefully, I am never forced to hit anyone again though.
  20. While I generally like the idea of it, the toilets and the noisy track while trying to sleep put me off.
  21. Maybe it was down to the plastic straw comment. I don't know of anyone who has ever carried around a straw to have a sniff. It's either a rolled up note or on a key.
  22. It's amazing how often I get asked if I know of any good single foreigners for them or their friends. I got asked this earlier in the week in a pet shop in front of the male staff. I said no, which is the truth, and told her to find a good Thai man.
  23. I automatically prepare a new tm30 for each extension of stay. They've requested it each year for quite a while now at my local immigration. I renewed my extension this week and it went very smoothly. Walked in, pretty much straight to a counter, she stamped away for a minute or two, took my picture and money, then out of the place in under 10 minutes. I'd hate to be at one of the busy places.
  24. I don't understand why the schoolgirl didn't stop at the broken line. You can see she stopped before it, but then accelerated out. Was there a solid white line before that on the road too, potentially a traffic light at the junction with it being that far back, or just bad road markings?
  25. I thought he had a lot of good songs. They are also good for karaoke as they're easy to sing and most people know them: เคยบอกว่ารักกัน, รอยยิ้มนักสู้, นานเท่าไรก็รอ, เคยรักฉันบ้างไหม, อมพระมาพูด, ผู้ชนะ, ใจสั่งมา are a few crowd pleasers.
