Can't imagine anyone wanting to have sex with pensioners. -
Any "This is Thailand" Stories?
BritManToo replied to NoshowJones's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Been in the same Moobaan 3 bed house for the past 10 years from new. Snag list, incoming wires from meter reversed, septic tank lid not screwed down. No other real problems, wire to the gate light failed, incoming water pipe joint broke under the kitchen patio, few tiles off in a really bad storm, kitchen sink waste pipe blocked and had to dig it out ...... that's about it, completely happy with the house. -
I find it as much fun as it was in 2009 when I first arrived. Not much in the way of price rises, bars close a bit earlier. Anything could happen next year, but usually their silly ideas come to nothing, same as always.

How about prison? Commit an offence with 2 years jail time, free accomodation. -
Car already identified as Range Rover Hybrid ............. The government are trying to hide the danger from EVs from the general population. But the UK insurance companies have already been raising prices/not renewing EV insurance. Guess this will be the end of EVs in the UK as no insurance co. wants a 20M bill for a fire in a car park.

American Tourist Arrested for Stabbing Incident in Chiang Mai
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Not sure what Israel has to do with this story. But last time I was there nearly all Israeli men carried a rifle 24/7. Remember some parties on the beach, evenings round a camp fire, wigwams of rifles stacked beside us. -

Useful tips for a visit to Vietnam wanted.
BritManToo replied to Confuscious's topic in Vietnam General Chat
Hanoi is the place for you, not much to see in Saigon. Hanoi for culture, Saigon for party, Da Nang for beach. For money, ATMs take Thai debit cards. Thai Baht can be difficult to change. All the airports have a bus to the town center, usually $1-$2 but the locals may tell you they don't exist. -

Money can't buy you Love (unless you're in Thailand).
BritManToo replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I've met many honest women, but I've never had an honest woman in my bed. Not sure if they were honest before I bedded them, but they were definitely dishonest after. -
Noticed this new offering this morning in my WISE app. Create virtual VISA cards instantly, looks like you can have as many as you want. I've only created one ........ but the app offers another creation immediately. Freeze, delete, change limits all instantly. Very useful. Just press the 'card' button at the bottom of the WISE app to get one.

Cambodia, Philippines, Vietnam are much more fun. I did 5 years of Multi non-Os (Savannakhet and Saigon) when CM immigration were a little 'difficult', but now they're really easy so I'm back to Non-O extensions at CM. Enjoyed all the travelling the Multis forced me to do. China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines were all great.

Different quality of plastic, or maybe they're glass. My 25yo pickup h/ls are still perfect and they're definitely glass. The newer your car, the more plastic (and less metal/glass) in it.

How is the air quality outside of smoke season?
BritManToo replied to smallchungus's topic in Chiang Mai
No pollution once the first rains starts in April. Pollution starts end of Dec or during Jan.
