Just now, ChrisKC said:Most Thai food is junk food- You show me a dish that has any vegetables in it and no processed ingredients.
in any event, the lady is in business to satisfy a ready market.
Could be a lot worse - selling weed!
True. It always makes me laugh that people seem to think Thai food is healthy. In general it's fairly unhealthy.

I don't pretend to be proud of it, there is a whole row of shops selling kids junk, the food she chose was the only one left that the kids would buy, I don't think tofu burgers would go down very well, if she didn't sell it then others would. Up to her anyway it's her shop.
As i said everyone has go to make money one way or the other but it come across as if you was proud of it but i obviously misconstrued your comment.

My assumption from a lot of the comments on here is a lot of you liked school. Because all this talk about being able to question the teachers and critical thinking is foreign to me. When i was at school i didn't want to question the teacher or anyone else to question the teacher. I just wanted the lessons to go as quickly as possible and get to home time and play football. And so did everybody else i know. Only nerds and boffins liked school.

Everyone seems to be focusing on the critical thinking and not be able to question the teachers. Were as I think the most absurd, ridiculous issue in Thai schools is all students will get a pass mark. That will make so many students lazy and it will also have Thai students thinking that you can go through life without failing at anything. When failing is part of life unfortunately.

How can someone teach English when English is their second language?
Students need to speak English for all manner of positive reasons.
Unfortunately the schools are recruiting more and more Filipinos because it saves them money.

My missus makes money from this, great init. Her shop is Just 2 doors away from the School, Chicken Nuggets and Chips, sweet drinks...
Fair enough we all got to make some money but I don't know if you should be so proud of the fact she's feeding kids junk food.

Most people will use GRAB or BOLT now and they only have themselves to blame. Not only are the apps a lot cheaper but also when you book with an app, When the driver gets there he/she knows where they gotta go. You get a taxi driver off the street they haven't got a clue where anywhere is. they gotta be the world's worst taxi drivers for never knowing any places. Unless it's within a couple of mins of where they're parked up. And with GPS and google it couldn't it be any easier. I do think a lot of these drivers can't read or write.
-
Will this run like the buses In Phuket? And it will only run if the driver feels like it.

Looks like lego figures fighting

I don't see how this helps the traffic problem and only adds to it. You can walk round old town in 10 minutes why the hell do you need a bus to drive you round Ridiculous. Sounds like this is just for the Thai tourists as Thais do not do walking under any circumstances.

Not going to happen. too much money involved now. He's just saying that to keep the anti cannabis brigade happy. just like the visa waiver for European countries never happened. That was just said to keep the tourist industry happy. Politicians job is to lie

You must have been unlucky, I have used them a lot over my 15 years here in Thailand and never had any problem except one or two time they were out of service (Empty on cash?)
Not more faulty than Other ATM's IMHO, but SCB Card less withdraw is the worst, have to enter your phone number and a 10 digit code sent to your app etc... take forever to take our cash (Unless they have updated last 6 months), BBL and K-Bank, prepare before approaching the ATM so app is ready to scan, Choose Card-less ATM, Choose Bank, scan QR, money come out, take seconds.
I've not been unlucky i think you've just been lucky more like. lots of people i know say exactly the same thing.

I remember that a few years back, a similar altercation ended in the foreigner dying, the heel having punched through the skull.
This would be indeed an attack with a potential deadly weapon. I wonder if we will read more about it, as indentity of the katoey must be clear to police.
🤔 I don't ever remember hearing that. Sounds viable I suppose but I'm sure i would have remembered it

Wow,if that would be a legal excuse Half of Thailand would be in the hospital and the other half in the temple!
A bit over the top of course but i mean there would be a lot of fights!
One of our neighbours likes to rev his loud bike at all hours of the night!
Am i going to complain?No way!He also empties his gun in the air when he is really drunk or high.
No way was it about just the noise of a motorbike. whoever said that is having a massive laugh and to then report what they said is just as laughable.

Kasikorn ATM's have got to be the worst on the planet. either out of order, or can't read the card. the other day one didn't even have any money "sorry no notes are available at this time" Brilliant an ATM that can't give cash out. Unbelievable
-
wouldn't the tourist handing over the note be shown on the cam as well? Although maybe would be too hard to see what kind of note it was.
-
As he was probably pissed it's likely the tourist did only give 100 baht. Thai taxi drivers are right scammers but I think in this instance it's probably a pissed tourist getting himself bang at it.

90 day address reporting is required when you remain in Thailand for 90 consecutive days. If you leave Thailand, the 90 day clock starts anew when you return to Thailand with the entry day being day 1 of the count. It has nothing to do with the type of Visa you may be using.
Yes i know but what I'm talking about is doing it in person. They say if you have left the country you have to do it in person and can't do it online. But does that mean left the country while on the current visa or not? As I'm trying to figure out if that's why my online application got rejected. As I have left the country but not while on my current visa.

The Pattaya City Expats Club has just posted this on their "latest Immigration information" webpage:
It also included a sign posted at Pattaya Immigration 90 day address reporting desk:
But when they say leave the country do they mean when on the current NONB or just in general? As i have left the country but not while on my current NONB. It isn't very clear really

New school year, same old story: Thailand’s education system ‘stuck in the past’
in Thailand News
Posted
As i said in a previous comment, They all get a pass mark. So, The teacher who gave her the marks is told to do that. It's a ludicrous policy. Third world behaviour.
