  1. All of the Thai drivers. The foreign drivers driving like they are Thai. Delivery drivers. The a-holes on the sidewalks. The loud ones. Pretty much all of them.
  2. The bar girls are all ???? if ya got a fat wallet and are intent on letting them slim it down❗ Otherwise not so much. ????
  3. Use them both in BKK, Chiang Mai and Jomtien/Pattaya. BOLT is much cheaper, but availability is limited to nonexistent at times. GRAB is more readily available at those higher prices. You can also add InDrive to your apps. They'll show you a ballpark price, then the drivers will respond with different prices, usually higher than BOLT but less GRAB. You can negotiate, but I don't bother. Between the 3, usually manage a ride in little time. BOLT was not available in Udon Thani or Korat last year and not sure about InDrive other than Jomtien/Pattaya and Chiang Mai.
  4. Not so. First time to Thailand 31 years ago this month, stayed on Soi 22. It's on the pposite side of Sukhumvit and a good 10 min walk to Soi Cowboy. Lived on Soi 19 for 15 years to be closer to Cowboy...and Nana❗????

  6. Isn't this ???? ???? called aiding and abetting a criminal? Obstruction of justice? Shielding an outlaw? These guys have no limits to how far up Trump's ass they'll crawl. They seem to relish it up there. It's gross. ????
  7. Go-hok❗Don't believe or trust this guy far as I can spit. ????
  8. Tucker Carlson finally says something true❗ Trump supporter demands retraction of truth❗ Can't have any of "that" in looney toon Trumpville. ????????????
  9. And incest and infanticide. And slavery and animal, as well as human, sacrifice and blood magic.
  10. Yes...a realist. Naturalist. Lifelong atheist. Everyone is on that "death clock"...EVERYONE. Had 2 friends die at 23 and 24. Auto accident and cancer. Fave uncle died at 35...auto accident. Thai gf murdered 2 years ago at 32. Lived my entire life to it's fullest. Never lived to work, but worked to live. Had an awesome 35 year career, which afforded me abundant travel around the world plus tons of time off. Retired at 59, despite still liking the job. Life is short...and for some much shorter...live it full. But not everyone is the same. For some it's work, kids, family, church. For me it was none of those things. More like booze, babes and rock-n-roll. Also nature and photography.
  11. Not quite the same. You were required to monitor and be the liquor police as well as bartender. In our case, there was NO onsite drinking at our retail store. They could buy a bottle stone cold sober after work. Drink themselves into a stupor elsewhere, then kill someone driving home. A sales receipt found in the car or on their person could be enough to come back against and implicate the store. Of course we could and did refuse sales to the obviously intoxicated, but not everyone shows it the same. Not always obvious. Anyhoo, back to the OP...agree, money grab.
  12. Ludicrous, this. But that said...not surprising. Remember working at a liquor store when I was 20 in the USA. Suddenly we had to start being extra careful about selling our products. Of course we checked ID (legal drinking age then was 18), but lawsuits had been filed against liquor stores for customers getting drunk, then killing or injuring people while driving intoxicated. It was outrageously concluded that the liquor stores could somehow be to blame as well. So we stopped issuing receipts, unless customers specifically requested one...which they rarely ever did. That way it couldn't be proven where the alcohol was purchased. Problem solved. Highly doubtful these banks will be found guilty. Perhaps individual employees, but not these giant bank names. Total money grab, just hoping for a pretrial settlement.
  13. World's 2 biggest gangsta "dick-tators" face-to-face for more nefarious reasons, surely.
  14. That "stolen" B5000 isn't worth even an iota my time, but thanks for the info. Good post. It's just another Thai ripoff money grab. They know many/most foreigners, like me!, won't bother going thru that tedious and time consuming BS process and they reap many free millions of baht. Only surprise is it took them so long to come up with it❗
  15. It's just The Bloviating Buffoon's rallying cry to his mob of dumbass minions. Slimy Donny The Menace. When will his band of idiots wake up and realize they are being conned by this whiny man-brat?!? That these gullible goons can't see through this vacuous, transparent moron is astounding.
  16. Not so. You can phone Wise and speak to a rep. Called them once about an issue (on their end) last year, which was preventing my transfers. Got straight thru to a helpful young lady in The US and she checked on it. Told me to give it a couple days to remedy and she was correct. The US number is still correct. Just verified it...tho they are closed on weekends. Not sure about the UK number.
