However many,it was not enough! ????

Not personal experience. As I said, "I imagine . . ." Then You have a vivid imagination! ????

We bow to your much greater experience in these matters …

I hope the tsunami doesn’t make things worse,I’m already unsteady negotiating some slippery mossy steps on the beach! ????

She’ll believe you… as she did with me too… ????

Claim denied… he wasn’t wearing a helmet…!

Frequently you have stopped breathing before completing the crossing of the road… ????

What’s probably happened is you got an administrative charge (usually £100) for ticket change but got hit by the difference in fare between the 2 dates. What you paid then when booking well in advance vs the price for booking at short notice for the new date which is imminent?

You’ve exposed one of the limitations of ChatGPT. "TOO" refers to Uncle Too ,I believe, the nickname for our esteemed leader .. ????

The article you posted is a good explanation,and I’m repeating the same reply I gave to another poster to which the only addition I’d make is to note that there is a larger incidence of monopolies/cartel allowed in Thailand ( Tesco ,Big C ,7-11 ,Makro all under one ownership) which would be disallowed by MMC (UK) or equivalent in western type economies. The reality is that Thailand’s attempt in certain instances to buck those rules doesn’t in fact work. Product remains unsold/ sells less until a financial crisis dawns on the consciousness of the vendor. However that isn’t how the majority work. I’ve just returned from a stay in Phuket (same time as last year) where the Central owned apartment was double what I paid last year because of the much higher demand. That said , I got a cracking deal (well below normal rates) back then (they responded to poor demand)and this year was closer to normal. In the end no one is ever insulated from economic reality .

That is how supply and demand normally works... Really? So if you put your house on the market and only 1 person is interested you’d expect to sell it for more than in the scenario where 6 people are clamoring to buy it ..?

Why of course, that would be plainly logical, but.....TIT, same same but different lol! So that’s two people not understanding the basic rule of supply and demand…. ????‍♂️

Whoosh ! Poe’s law strikes again… ????‍♂️

At least you have the benefit of being able to p**s against one of those… ????‍????

Effectively the regurgitation of the same ineffective message ( with the same results) that will be largely ignored as traditionally. Just accept that there’s a Faustian pact between the Government and the population stating that Thais want to carry on with their dangerous practices on the road and that the elite don’t really care that they want to slaughter and maim each other… oh,and it’ll be the same next year with the usual accompanying hand wringing .

Perhaps it is where you come from. Which part of Liverpool/ Humberside is that exactly…? ????

He won't have met his father Could have been any of 6 candidates- probably not even sure who the mother was ! ????

You’ll find the till is programmed not to scan alcohol in restricted hours- nothing staff can do

"Are you standing to attention,or just pleased to see me ,soldier…? " ????

There are a majority of ACTUAL women in USA who don’t look as attractive…!

I am shamefully aroused… ????

Fortunately for me that’ll be highly unlikely.. ????‍????

But why do they still believe they’re special when mainly doing menial jobs and can plainly see there are plenty of others (especially farang) including women who are obviously more pecunious and better educated? Are they totally delusional ?

Count the number of comments which include the rather meaningless RIP (can you not ' rest in peace when dead ' ? ) and they are few and far between. So,Bizarre to reprimand someone for not using it especially when this is a news forum . NEWS…not a book of condolences.
