  1. You have to set your play account to Thailand for HBOGo to be available.
  2. Who wants to make friends with foreigners?
  3. If it's gone that far I'd prefer to progress directly to separate homes.
  4. I was once singing along to a Thai karaoke song, the girl with me said "you just learned the song, you aren't reading the words' So I told her to pick a song, and I read the words, she said 'F$#k' got up and moved away. Her mistake was thinking I could understand what I could read!
  5. Which is odd as 'rue yang' was among the first words I learned.
  6. You won't be learning central Thai in that small town or village, cos the locals aren't speaking it. If you watch the Thai news, rural people speaking are subtitled in central Thai.
  7. I'm only here for the cheap housing and the cheap woman. It happens to be Thailand, but beyond simple commerce I have no reason to interact with the locals. Same when I lived in Cornwall.
  8. I don't bother, if you don't speak English with a Brit accent, I'm not interested in talking with you. Did learn to read, write and speak central Thai, it wasn't worthwhile, Thais are generally really dull people with nothing to say that I want to hear. "How spicy was my last meal' ....... discuss for 1hr ........... I think not.
  9. There are 165000 registered trucks, 24 of which are EVs. Of those trucks 250 ICE have burnt in the past year, and 2 EVs in the past 6 months. 165000/250 = 1 in 660 ICE burns v 1 in 12 EV burns. Temp of diesel fire = 800c (can be extinguished) Temp of EV fire = 2,700c (burns steel and concrete, outgassing deadly poisons cobalt, lithium) 2 Victoria firefighters have already been given permanent disability retirement after attending EV fires this year.
  10. My pal toppled his scooter in his driveway, claimed on gov min, paid for his broken hip (just). My hit and run 2 months back, it's paying for my emergency care and broken ribs/collarbone (8 weeks in and 8kbht spent).
  11. How about this electric BMW parked outside my local coffee shop at lunchtime ......
  12. I've tried them all and they're 15-20% THC ...... forget the numbers .........
  13. This is a BYD Atto 3 battery pack, all tightly packed leaf cells, no gaps, no cooling.
  14. Nissan leaf 1 only has a range of 60 miles. After 8-10 years that's down to 20!
  15. My prediction is Trump is seen as a victim, gets a huge sympathy vote, and wins.
  16. Not to worry, climate change will fix it in less than 10 years (according to scientists).
  17. Most Thais don't pay tax in Thailand either. The Thai government is not financed by private individuals income tax.
  18. I think it's due to the 80% of men traditionally used up on the front line surviving and being given welfare. Not to mention the 50% of women that traditionally died in childbirth.
  19. Government minimum insurance covers everyone for 30kbht, which is enough to cover most accidents treated in a government hospital.
  20. But you're not a foreign tourist, you live here and have your own transport.
  21. Disagree, The reason foreign tourists go to private hospitals is because that's where the ambulance takes them.
  22. I live in Thailand, no need for porn, I can do all that myself, and with more attractive women.
  23. I'm more concerned by the Thai private hospitals extorting unwary foreign tourists. In fact if I was a travel insurance company, I would exclude all treatment in Thai private hospitals from my policies just to teach the greedy bar stewards a lesson.
  24. I would be more than happy to pay the UK price of 700gbp for unlimited use of the Thai health service.
