  1. If Jomtien, just throw that 90-day money-in-the-bank form in the nearest trash bin and don't give it another thought.
  2. My little Tirak watches these loud mouth crunching & lip smacking slobs on YouTube. I always start making similar barnyard noises as loud as possible. She just giggles and keeps on watching. Bizarre. ????
  3. True about Delta being last...and those 16 747-400s were NWA (formerly Northwest/Northwest Orient) jets inherited by Delta in the merger of the 2 carriers in 2008.
  4. 35 year career in aviation. By far and without compare, the absolute King, as well as Queen Of The Skies. Nicknamed "The Whale", the 747-400 achieved near perfection. Nothing even comes close. Doubtful anything ever will. ????
  5. Yeah driving the wrong direction not recommended. It's deadly enough already driving in the PROPER direction.
  6. Same ol' story, same ol' song and dance. There may be an official rule, but doesn't mean every office and officer is privy and/or onboard. As usual...Totally depends on the provincial office and then left up to interpretation by whichever officer one deals with on any given day. The rules are...there ain't no consistent rules.
  7. Of course you should take it all...and then some! Never know with these nitwits. Better to be prepared for whatever possible flaming hoops they may throw at you.
  8. Soon The Trifecta of Family Fugitives❗
  9. Yeah me too. I opened mine BBK on Sukhumvit Nana area with only a 30-day visa exempt stamp...but the year was 2000. Things have changed since then.
  10. Apps are great. And secure. Far easier, faster, more intuitive and convenient. C'mon Wise Ole Owl, time to flap yo-self into the 21st Century.
  11. Teflon Thailand and it's Bulletproof Baht. For myriad reasons, the THB is an amazingly strong and resilient currency. Somehow, some way it just powers on. Not that an over-strong THB is necessarily a good thing, but it's certainly good for certain people. Personally, I think THB strength is fueled by greed at the top and the near "slave-labor" wages paid to the vast majority of Thai workers. The ultra-low labor costs here do not reflect in the prices any longer, as almost everything here is equally priced, or even more expensive, than other countries which pay all their employees, at every level, considerably more.
  12. Most tourists are here for one thing...and it ain't dining.
  13. They are. So do you. Real character comes when inflated ego allows admitting and accepting it. ????
  14. Call it whatever you want, but no matter how one spins, slices or dices...We always pay for it and they always get paid for it. One way or another.
  15. Well yes, unlivable sub-poverty level wages for most of the the middle class on down is enviable...for companies, corporations and upper echelon. Not so much for the proletariat.
  16. 2023 and still pandering to absurd, idiotic beliefs and ignorance.
  17. Totally agree. And what it is, is Teflon Thailand and it's Bulletproof Baht. Coups, unstable and inept leadership, political unrest, demonstrations, airport and major intersection closures for days, drought, floods, near total Covidiocy economy shutdown and on and on. Teflon and Bulletproof.
  18. Seriously⁉️ Where u been❓
  19. Teflon Thailand is the perfect moniker and spot on. I coined the term "Bulletproof Baht" many years ago, referring to the same thing. Henceforth it's "Teflon Thailand and it's Bulletproof Baht" for me❗????
  20. Yup...those "god-thingys" are ???????? too❗????
  21. Nobody gets it. It's total ???????? cuz there's no such thing. Life is hazardous and random. Regardless how seemingly deserving or undeserving...bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad. No cosmic or divine justice. Only random events which affect random people in random and myriad ways. Nature and the universe don't give a flip about any of us.
  22. Or...just an extremely overdue action that is finally being reimplemented. Should have been changed back long ago...but better late than never, I guess.
