  1. If you hover over his name, you will see he joined in 2018. His number of posts is not unusually low for that period. One of my neighbours has had her heart broken by several western men who if anything seemed to sponge off her rather than bring anything to the table. They were mostly from Scandinavian countries. She no longer believes that western men are better than Thai men.
  2. Is he in the 99% you state are rotten to the core, or is he OK because you personally know him?
  3. 100 baht, sounds good. I thought I'd read on here some time ago that there were problems with installing proper public transport.
  4. I might take it next year as the high risk season usually runs until October. I've had two bouts already, so I'm not keen on a third.
  5. Is there any easy way to get from the airport to the center of town yet or do those red pick up things still run the show?
  6. Living the high life drinking a bottle of Leo or two waiting for the F1 practice 2 session to start in Monza. Yesterday though I tried a few Thai craft beers branded M32. Tried the hoppy pale lager, new England IPA and their IPA. I thought they were pretty decent. oh and a Coopers.
  7. My 1 year insurance is about to run out with Tisco for my Ranger. They quoted over 20k so I asked for a 5k deductible. They said they don't have policies with deductibles????. Back to Roojai I go then at the end of the year for less than 10k (with the 5k deductible). The total sum insured is 100k less but there's better coverage for everything else. It won't be able to cover the cost of crashing in to a Rolls Royce, but a Merc won't be a problem.
  8. Dogs in my area don't seem to bother with me. If I am out walking, I tend to have a long scythe/sickle with me lol (I'm not sure of its exact name. It's about 180cm in length). I carry it as I am usually chopping some branches down or getting some fruits off the trees. I've met many packs of dogs while on my travels (without looking like some sort of grim reaper), but have yet to experience ones trying to bite me.
  9. Thanks for the info. I'll check it out tomorrow. I looked at the site from the other picture you posted. As with any drink, it's down to personal taste, but you only find out what you like by trying it.
  10. I was just saying for the sake of the NHS, a spoon of sugar is better than a cake for others. I don't add milk or sugar either. Just like my coffee is always black (mostly medium roast) and whisky straight (or a few drops of water if it's cask strength).
  11. And where do you buy your recommended tea from? Google Lens doesn't find it.
  12. If a Brit munched on a cake every time they had a cuppa, they'd be the size of... well what a fair few of them are already. I think a spoon of sugar and a drop of milk is the lesser of two evils (I'm a Brit by the way)
  13. If the lady couldn't lift her bag into the storage, why did she not ask one of the other members of her group? Or should I say why didn't the men in her group offer to do it for her? I guess because they expect someone below them in status to do it. The 'servant' told her to do it herself and she couldn't handle that.
  14. Comedy takes many different forms and is not meant to be taken seriously. I read his recent one and thought it was unacceptable, while chuckling at the same time. It reminds me of Jimmy Carr's self proclaimed most offensive joke: "If only Africa had more mosquito nets, then every year we could save millions of mosquitoes from dying needlessly of aids. " (if the mods/admin are not happy with this, please delete) He's performing in Bangkok next January if anyone is interested.
  15. That's good for the home charging as well then. I'm the type who likes 100% at the start of the day, but for an ev, I'd want to look after the battery. Sounds like that's no longer an issue.
  16. Is charging to 100% encouraged in these types of batteries?
  17. I get a bit fed up hearing claims to tax luxury goods more. What they need to do is seriously tackle all those working who don't pay any tax. How many of the local restaurants or food sellers actually pay tax? Taxi drivers? Will they expect a pension when they have dodged the system for most of their lives?
  18. I don't know how people can do it. I'm too insecure about my body to walk around a beach area topless, never mind in a city.
  19. Odd. I can't imagine many men weeing standing up first, sprinkling the seat a bit, then proceeding to turn round and sit down to do the rest of their business. They pull their kegs down, sit and get comfy.
  20. I'd have thought so. When you need to poo, do you not wee sitting down?
  21. I choose toilets that use more water. The water efficient ones just don't seem to work properly. I also consider the shape of the toilet to avoid splashback. Had to change a toilet not so long ago as sitting down on one while weeing caused it to bounce back and wet by balls etc. You need a bit of space up front to avoid this and a deeper gradient.
  22. The holier-than-thou are at it again. When will they eventually die off and allow progress in this country?
  23. Does this not make you one of the low quality customers eating low quality food that you despise? I personally don't have any issues with them and I definitely don't want anybody telling me what I can or cannot eat.
  24. I wouldn't say the car itself is dangerous, more it's size in relation to others on the road. For city driving it's an excellent car, on the highways it's fine too unless you drive like a moron or have someone behind you not paying attention. Its also comfortable on hills, uphill and downhill. One of the reasons I bought one a decade ago was because it had both driver and passenger airbags, not that common in eco cars at the time. I changed it for a ranger in the end but still miss the brio.
  25. I see the price of Heineken zero has gone down recently. It used to be about 40 baht, but is now about 32-33 baht (I can't remember exactly) in my lotus's anyway. Still can't buy it between the hours of 2-5 though.
