  1. But it's years out of date and many of the places he mentions closed at COVID and never reopened.
  2. Thought it was written by Homer Simpson, and he was American.
  3. "Isaan hard to like after 3 months" OP is clearly a 'hard man', I only managed 3 nights near Korat before I ran away to Pattaya. Hotter than hell, the only meat in the market was chicken feet, and no Sour cheese and onion LAY in the 7-11 which was a 15Km drive away.
  4. San Sai ........... not quite enough pressure when it works, but off for the day several times a month.
  5. I'm not sure international news is that important to most people. And as nearly everything in the media is manipulated propaganda of some sort, there's probably not all that much reason for anyone to want to see any of it. Back to the OP, The same applies to history.
  6. You need a Government Gateway account where you can sort out all your income tax and claim refunds online. https://www.gov.uk/log-in-register-hmrc-online-services
  7. I didn't know anyone in the UK who could speak a foreign language. And French/German/Spanish in UK schools was a joke, I know I used to teach French and German.
  8. Try, If you use your money to buy a computer, you can choose. If you use my money to buy a computer, I choose. It's really easy. In my home I choose everything I pay for (obviously items over 500bht).
  9. They don't know their own history either. But I suspect few western people know anything of Asian history either.
  10. They changed every time I went, but the bars you can't look in without entering were always the most fun. I always stayed at the Phuminh Hotel (was a different name when I went), nice rooftop swimming pool and cocktail bar. Right near the riverside park and entertainment streets. The Ohana also looks good (2 pools?) but I haven't stayed there.
  11. 130 and 136 street are full of bars with pretty girls. Near the top end of Riverside Park. Load 'Pass' app on your phone before you go, it's very cheap and they will collect from the airport.
  12. Now you've mentioned soapy, I think Sayuri and PingPayom are still open. Take your pals to have a few beers while watching the fishbowl.
  13. You can't, daily limit for electronic transfers is 50kbht, I know as I tried it with Bangkok Bank app today.
  14. Went along to buy a new m/c today (Click 160), needed to pay them 62,500. BKB app said NO. Transferred 12,500 to my other bank TTB, went for 50k transfer, 'You have exceeded your daily limit of 50kbht'. (Promtpay NO, bank transfer NO, transfer to my other bank NO). Next message, 'Please take your ID card/Passport, and bank book to a BKB branch' Had to walk to an ATM and get the extra 12,500bht out in cash. So there you go BKB have already restricted transfers to 50kbht.
  15. Smoke it straight, but I've not found it effective for back pain.
  16. I think it's an attack from an African/Arab refugee from a primitive country, granted asylum in a civilised country ........ same as most of the other stabby attacks. It's not to do with their religion, it's to do with where they originated.
  17. Who's the bloke in the photo? I'm assuming he isn't the beauty pageant contestant, but this is Thailand.
  18. I prefer real books, but digital are free and easier to find and transport.
  19. Meanwhile climate change has always been 10 years away from killing us all.
  20. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall ...........
  21. IMEI number is written on the side of the box the phone comes in.
  22. Who paid for the house/car/motorcycle?
  23. Probably he tracked his stolen phone to her shop.
  24. We're all milked by our women, if you like her and want her and you can, you'll pay. Up to you!
