  1. If you're so worried about it perhaps you should be going somewhere else.
  2. Yes indeed. The cases against the Bidens of influence peddling for profit will be more interesting.
  3. The USA is 'the greatest empire..the world has ever known' ? Hardly.
  4. Yes indeed. Sakdina still exists, in effect if not in name. It will take a monumental change in so many aspects of Thai society to bring about reform. It will eventually come about, but not any time soon. I fear MFP will be a casualty along the way.
  5. Full control, whether in retirement or at any other time, is an illusion.Much that affects our lives is totally beyond our control.
  6. I've managed, on one occasion, to leave money in the ATM although retrieving my card and, on three occasions, to leave my card in the ATM while retrieving my money. Sad. No fool like an old fool..
  7. Don't worry about it. Just give them whatever they are currently asking for.
  8. Credit to Lineker for figuring out the way to make big bucks, and to promote his other interests, out of a relationship with the BBC. Smart.
  9. So terribly sad. A horrible death for all the poor animals involved. RIP.
  10. Entirely your fault I'm afraid. I suspect the bike is quite old. You could check it's current value, and possibly offer compensation in installments over time.
  11. This is the least important of the cases against Hunter Biden. Wealth derived from influence peddling yet to be addressed.
  12. So, the TAT awards itself 10 out of 10 for it's performance in spite of the overall decline in the numbers of higher spending visitors. 300 baht is a small issue. Way more important is the need for the Thai govt to decide, once and for all, whether it wants westerners to visit and/or reside in Thailand, or not.
  13. Relationships throughout Asia are based on practicality. The western concept of romance is pretty much non-existent. My marriage of 40 years to a Thai lady is still a happy one based on close friendship and shared interests.

  15. Tragic for the poor animals. They should never have been there in the first place. RIP.
  16. This old rice will soon find its way into shops and restaurants in Thailand.
  17. Well said. It's mandating the use of vaccines, not anti-vaccines per se, which is the issue. People should be allowed to make their own choice. Whether vaccinated ir not, however, individuals should observe all necessary precautions to avoid the spread of disease.
  18. When recently 'phoning Barclays I was answered by a recorded message asking me to show respect to the bank and its' employees. Tempting fate, with a message like that...
  19. According to my bookmaker Trump has increased his lead over Biden to over 5% in opinion polls. However, opinion polls have hardly proved reliable in recent times.
