Over the years seen most of Thailand, quite a few good trips during covid. Also been around neighbouring countries, certainly a lot to see in the area. Will be 80 next year so slowing down a bit now.

And how did that come about. Who exactly elected the US as a global leader. How many nations agreed to cast the first stone. People go to prison for taking the law into their own hands. Pandora's box has been opened and the whole world will suffer from US arrogance.

You are entitled to your opinion, doesn't make it valid. If you fail one way, why not try another.

I have never had Greggs frozen, only ever fresh, so not sure if they the same. Ones I had from Siamburi were also fresh and if remember right 50 baht each.

How not to fail, again.

The US seem to have forgotten it came about through a regime change from "within". The history books have shown it is the only way, but "might is right" prevails.

Not very helpful, I am well aware of the data availability on the voice SIM. I just want to know who sells 12 month data e-sims to compare against a 12 month data addon.

I would suggest that you try and gat an english speaking Thai national to go to the bank with you. The culture is such that they are less likely to try and fob off a Thai than a foreigner. Should there be any issues you will get a better indication of what is required. The fall back is of course an agency.

I see no mention of long term data plan for E-sim. I have PAYG voice sim and wondered about getting a data e-sim but couldn't find one suitable, can't fit another physical sim. Data addon looks like best option.

"informal long-stayers" What status would that equate to in other expat destinations.

The sausage rolls in Siamburi's are quite good. It is all about personal taste and these are very similar to Greggs, if your a Brit you know. Siamburi products are available through Expatfoods but not sure about the sausage rolls as they may be local. I also quite like their Gala Pie. PS Just had a look on the Expats website and gobsmacked they actually sell Greggs, but I have never seen them in Siamburi's. The ones I have are warm on the counter. https://expatfoodsthailand.com/shop/bread-pastry/greggs-sausage-rolls-4pack/

There are "people from other countries" and then there is the "islamic fundamentalists". The whole problem stems from a failure to differentiate, obviously the US learned nothing from the Taliban.

Both are in the past and both are in the present, if you want to look in that direction. Most of us have learned to live with both.

Only the delusional would think there would ever be anything normal in a country where martyerdom is embedded in the beliefs.

There is hundreds of pages on covid, is it something to worry about.
