  1. Can a tax-paying foreigner apply for the rebates?
  2. I'm in Kho Hong tonight and haven't seen any sign of floating gas canisters anywhere. Or flooding, for that matter. Hopefully the locals have the worst behind them.
  3. Never ridden a manual bike, as I learned to ride in Thailand and have since used my trusty automatic Fino. Closest I ever came was riding a semi-automatic with the foot gear switch.
  4. At least no one was smoking.
  5. Be careful not to use the word Taiwan to a Chinese person's face. I almost got my teeth knocked out three years ago. The correct term is Chinese Taipei.
  6. Sad for all those people who have seen their house flooded. Soosoo!
  7. I'd say removing part of the railway tracks is definitely related to security.
  8. Last weekend I re-entered Thailand at the Ta Ba border crossing and, to my surprise, I was asked to fill out the arrival card (TM6) again. Have they been reinstated? I thought they had been scrapped.
  9. I can confirm that the provincial capital is still not flooded, at least in the town itself. However, with the way the rain has been falling the last days, that might eventually change.
  10. One day, hopefully soon, there will come a time when you look into the mirror and say to yourself: "I am Captain Steve. What do I want to do in this phase of my life?" You'll then realize that it may be a better idea to retire and enjoy the latter years of your life in peace and away from any pipe dreams of investment schemes.
  11. We are living right next to the Bang Nara river bank, but see absolutely no reason to worry. The town is usually safe from flooding.
  12. Don't blame Prayut. It all started when the British divided the area in 1909. And the current person who bears the most blame is Thaksin. Hopefully he won't be back in office. Ever.
  13. Allah is God. Same god, different name. Glory to Allah if you will.
  14. According to the latest news, three brave souls have returned to The Lord Your God already. Check Bangkok Post for example.
  15. Sad news. May God take care of those who passed away.
  16. Thank God nobody was injured or killed. Alhamdulilah.
  17. Places like Pak Phanang, Ranod and Saiburi, all on the Gulf coast, may be what you're looking for.
  18. Is this actually considered news? I live in the State of Narathiwat and it's been like this for as long anyone can remember.
  19. Bitcoin and other cryptos are all basically worth zilch. It is money created out of nothing and has nothing valuable to back it up.
  20. I have lived in Narathiwat for over six years now, and this was the first explosion in town since I moved here. It's not exactly a daily occurrence. This was one of those waking up moments, when you realize the violence is still a reality. As a farang I have no fear of being attacked for who I am, but I acknowledge how fragile we are as people. One time of being in the wrong place is all it takes.
  21. Very sad news indeed. I work at a stone's throw away from those apartments. I wasn't there at the time, but apparently it was a pretty scary moment.
  22. Be careful of St. Roberts. Their Diploma in Teaching is still not recognized by OHEC, so an actual teacher license is still not guaranteed.
  23. I know absolutely nothing about the test.
  24. Just swim there. Good for the physical condition.
  25. Professional ladyboy masseur
