I thought I'd share one that was recommended to me recently. I rather enjoyed it. 

I'm also not sure what the rules are here. Can we ask for translations to certain parts? There's a different song I like, but I and Google translate dont understand some of the lyrics. 

It's now the 20th and diesel is still the same price as before.  Did they change their minds?

Did you get bitten by. posse of poisonous snakes? 

I assume you mean venomous. Poisonous snakes are not really a threat here. 

To the left I have a very quiet man living with his mum. I'm not sure what he does but his brother owns a 7-eleven. In front we have a loan shark who is nice (we have no problems and occasionally have a drink together, give each other food etc). Behind we have a family of locusts. They just like to take over any space possible, make a complete mess, smell, and noise, and we often have to call the police as they try to 'own' the end of the street. They have 2 pick up trucks, a Jazz, an mg-ZS, and old corolla and about 4 bikes. All in a small house at the end of a soi. Three different families with two or three generations of each living in a 3 bed house. They sell grilled chicken and pork balls. There's very few people I wish bad things to, but I'm waiting for these to get wiped out in an accident. Naturally, the men are generally drunk, so it's only a matter of time.

Not at all, he's asking me why don't have a 'Thai bank account and use Wise like everyone else' - when its perfectly clear that I do have a Wise account.

Taking away the bank account comment, his message was that wise is the best method for transfers, which I thought was what you were pointing out too. I agree with your point about super rich though. It's no longer 'super' for rates nor worth the trip. 

I'm in a slightly different boat to you guys as I now only really transfer THB into a UK bank account. Unfortunately I could never get Wise to make transfers the opposite way round and I ended up using Western Union. The end result is pretty much the same as what the Thai banks offer me, but I find it easier and clearer to transfer.

Any more pointless comments?

 

Sure. Stop being such a child. His main point actually agreed with yours, yet you chose to unreasonably escalate things.

I wonder how many of these were actually drunk, or were they just over the legal limit (which is about 50% less than the UK limit). One beer here with a meal and you may be over.

In provinces with virtually no public transport system, it's not surprising that people don't care. They have no alternative transport and they certainly won't stop drinking. 

It's about time after all of the tax increases on booze over the last few years! 

It depends how you feel about cars. My recent car was not the sensible choice, but it was what the heart wanted. If you want a sensible city car (as you said you already have a captiva) just get the little Neta V and save yourself 300k. It doesn't float my boat, but it fits your situation if you have the possibility for home charging.

But what's the other option?

 

If you don't find out about something early, you could drop dead with a heart attack or find out you have advanced cancer.

It sounds like the OP goes for regular testing already and has already stated he is generally considered healthy. Further tests just sound superfluous and may potentially have a detrimental effect on him. Each to their own though.

Out of interest, is doing all these tests going to ultimately increase your health insurance premiums and make insurance more difficult to obtain when older? If you do every test under the sun they'll eventually find something.

Am I the only one here because I thought your thread would be about coffee? I was expecting to read a question about roasting dates, degassing or expiry dates...

. The only solution I can think of to combat congestion is to restrict curbside parking in cities. If empty lots could be converted into carparks with a nominal fee charged to owners of vehicles in order to pay for security personnel to manage the lots, this may be a start. If successful, perhaps multistory carparks could be built for profit as we have in many western cities. 

Thais don't walk (it's hot and some are lazy). They will double or even triple park in my area to avoid this, particularly for banks, local markets and schools. Pretty much every day at our big market the police are stopping sellers from spreading onto the roads and trying to deal with the parking, but the locals don't care. 

I'll probably be laughed at, but in my province I think the police should stop with all these road blocks scattered around and provide a free local taxi service to the public. Taxis are near non existent here as is other public transportation. I'm not saying it would stop all accidents, but its better than sitting on their behinds and setting up checkpoints that people avoid anyway.

I paid a traffic fine the other day at the cop shop. 

 

How does one named 'Safety First' receive a traffic fine? 🤣

I used to save my 50 bahts and over about 3 years I had about 10,000 baht. He's clearly quite well off if he can afford to put over 1,500 baht away per day, which begs the question why isn't he storing his cash in the bank and earning interest on it.

Maybe she read on You-Tube how to deceive a farang?

I just looked at that thread, but either way, as long as no kids are involved the OP should celebrate that he will be rid of her soon. I know there's always an emotional investment, but I hope he will let logic dictate rather than let the emotions drag him down to a bad place. There are so many great women here. The world is his oyster again.

l live UK altho now on holiday in thai.

 

what if l ignore her request ?

I suggest you sober up and then get the divorce. Why you'd want to draw this out I have no idea. Find another woman who appreciates you.

So  many stupid questions, why dont people think first ?

 

Please provide the policy wording then. If tourists are receiving insurance, surely they need to know what it covers. It currently sounds like it will cover all accidents which gives a false sense of security.
