    Same in Pattaya. Taxi Meter...never once a meter used. B300 to go the shortest distance was their answer every time. Now I RELISH when those Taxi Meter drivers pick me up as BOLT and get B60, including tip, for what they used to fleece the unwary tourists. LOVE IT! ????

    Black-crowned Night Heron. The most widespread species of heron. Not Thailand? Nice snaps. Where were you? I snapped these at Chiang Mai University last month. Breeding colony there. I estimated 200 breeding pairs. Maybe more.

    Good guess. They are extremely similar. However, Mangrove is restricted to the peninsular SW and not likely to hit your window...unless the house is in the mangroves! B-W Pitta is common and widespread. Found in many habitats throughout most of Thailand, except for a big chunk of Isaan.

    YES. By a moonshot.

    How'd u figure that out?

    Pretty much anywhere and everywhere.

    Ideally the latter, but Slimy Don...nothing ever sticks.

    Always hot in June. 4th hottest month of the year on average.

    That's all? Seems low.

    Withholding tax on foreigners Thai savings account is 15% of the interest paid. With TIN believe you can file for reimbursement if interest under B20,000. I don't have a TIN and just don't bother with it. Not worth my time or effort. This "withholding" scam just started a few years back and is just another greedy money grab by LOG(reed).

    Crazy Thailand. Murder and dismember a young woman...get 8 years. Take some bribes, as they all do, and get the equivalent of LIFE??? Think this place has either got it's priorities mixed up or these sentences mixed up. Typically Thailand.

    I find Lazada has good customer service. Have never had a problem with refunds, though you may want to call and talk to someone. Good English too. Credit Card refund is generally not instantaneous and make take a few days or even a week or more in my experience.

    Recently driving car on Jomtien Beach Road and making a right turn with turn signal ON and...ZOOM...moto-bike idiot passes me on the right. Had I not triple checked the side view, he would have been a statistic. And surely I'd have somehow been found at fault. Shame the old pedestrian died and not the irresponsible idiot driving.

    Same here nothing for 4 days. Some advance warning to ALL members by email before "upgrading" would have been prudent. Or at least a red NOTIFICATION in the General Topics for a few days before. Anyhoo, glad it's not just me and seems it's expected to be up and running again soon. Hope so. Do look forward to and enjoy the daily newsletter email(s). ????

    Suddenly stopped receiving the daily newsletter emails 4 days ago. Anyone else experiencing this? Is the newsletter by email still a thing? Did send email to Support yesterday and awaiting a reply. Any assistance much appreciated.

    Nasty stuff. Tastes worse than it smells. ????
  20. Skeptic7
    Yep, I don't bother with it.

    That's a helluva "stuffed <deleted> toy"!!! Can't unser that! ????

    My wishing or desiring something has no effect. It will not somehow magically lead to that actuality, unfortunately. It's an opinion and sticking to it. If the replacement is worse, then I'll wish the end of them too! ????

    Too bad one or the other didn't take him out . World be a much better place without him.

    The original Chang in brown bottle, avg 6.4%. They changed the formula in 2015, now it sucks. Leo sucks least of the lot. Where u finding Amarit??? Do tell. Remember drinking it here in 90s and made a brief reintro about a dozen years back, but faded away again. It was decent. ????
