  1. I use TP-Link gigabyte switch ...... 400bht delivered. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/tp-link-tl-sg1005d-5-port-gigabit-desktop-switch-80-i3272307224-s12162174109.html
  2. I always take a mug and bags of 3in1 and use the free hot water in the airports. I always enjoy having my own mug when everyone else is drinking from paper/plastic cups. Only foolish people pay for a coffee at airport prices.
  3. Dream on, cheap & easy international travel has gone, probably forever. I'm OK with that, getting too old for it now.
  4. It was always cheaper to fly to China/Vietnam/Cambodia/Philippines than it was to fly on internal flights. And less problems getting from the foreign airports than the Thai airports. And of course another 3 months entry on my 1 year multi entry non 'o'. In Vietnam they even had a airport bus (Saigon/Da Nang/Hanoi) for $1-$2.
  5. But none of the candidates have anything in common with 'the people'. They were educated in schools and universities 'the people' couldn't attend. They have health care in facilities 'the people' couldn't afford. Holiday at exclusive destinations 'the people' can only dream about. And they live in places 'the people' can't afford to live. In fact those who purport to represent us, have lives that share nothing in common with us.
  6. 2018-2020 Return Chiang Mai to ChangSha 2,500bht. Return ChaingMai to Saigon 2,000bht. Return Chiang Mai to Da Nang 2,200bht. Return Chiang Mai to Hanoi 2,300bht. Return Chiang Mai to Siem Reap 4,000bht. Return Chiang Mai to Phnom Penh 5,000bht. Mostly AirAsia
  7. Most of the international flights I take cost under 1,500bht (many at 1,000bht). Adding another 300bht to the ticket is a 20-30% rise. Not that it matters any more, easy cheap international travel is gone for good IMHO.
  8. You have a teaching degree? And have taught in schools in your home country?
  9. Hitler was elected, how well did that go?
  10. It won't matter because COVID will never subside. No hordes will be coming for the next 3-5 years. Mass International tourism is gone, maybe forever.
  11. Name one that wasn't a lying, cheating, corrupt scumbag?
  12. A cane in the corner of the classroom always kept me successfully 'engaged in the learning process'. I doubt many rural Thai farmers have much education either. In the past, when the school was the only source of education there were no such issues. Treating schools as 'entertainment' venues and expecting parents to 'educate' is the source of the problem and not the answer to the problem IMHO.
  13. Boris was only elected as Tory leader because he wasn't May. Boris was only elected as PM because he wasn't Jeremy. Same in the USA Donald was elected because he wasn't Hillary. We have the same problems in the UK as all the other western countries. ALL the applicants for leaders are unsuitable sock puppets for God knows who. Until voting forms have the option 'No suitable candidate', democracy has failed.
  14. Disagree, Technology is generally a distraction from education. All you need to educate children is decent text books for the kids and a blackboard with chalk for the teachers.
  15. I did, but then they got old (lived with one, married with one). I find most women only have their looks for a brief time, you're very lucky if the good looks last 5 years. Especially after they get married or are in a LTR.
  16. Trust Hillary .......... and Bill ....... and their Royal pal Andy? When we're talking about your beloved leaders they seem to have ALL the worst traits of human nature.
  17. "People would rather hear truth and sincerity than lies and deception. Doesn't make any sense." I'll go with the 'truth and sincerity'.
  18. I had Sicilian shredded chicken soup for breakfast just now. Just right on a chilly morning.
  19. I think the 'senior doctors' in Thailand need a good 'bashing'. These guys probably know as much as a hospital janitor in the west. And the hospital janitor got his job through ability, not because of his mom and dad.
  20. Call the police and have the establishment closed for breaking social distancing rules.
  21. GPS/mapping/banking ...... There are times I need them all when I'm not near a wifi. At 1,500bht for a year's data with free phone calls, why wouldn't you?
  22. He drove the yellow car because it blended in with everyone else. @steven100I suspect mummy and daddy own the company ...... no difficult interviews.
