  1. If it was found in their ceiling then it was not stolen.
  2. If you were paying 5,000 baht for a 3 month stay you should have automatically suspected a scam. As they say 'too good to be true'. You should have used a known booking site, like booking.com or agoda.
  3. 3 years old though. For instance The Dukes does not do buffets any more.
  4. I sometimes stop and give money to elderly people pushing carts down the road foraging for recyclables. I have had a few refuse the money.
  5. EV's emit more microplastics into the environment due to more tire wear from the extra weight and acceleration. https://www.earth.com/news/hidden-costs-electric-vehicle-tires-emit-20-more-pollution/
  6. If you rub it it will grow...
  7. I see restaurants in non-tourist areas that offer lamb dishes, lamb chops or rack of lamb. Often spelled as lamp on the menu.
  8. A lot of lost storage space...

  10. Just put in the new contract that they have to buy insurance. I don't know how much it would cost for a business. My house insurance costs about 5K/year. So not that expensive.
  11. rotten egg smell is caused by hydrogen sulfide. I get it in my outdoor hose reels. It goes away after a couple of minutes when the water is flushed from the hose.
  12. He died 5 days after the alleged assault. Symptoms he was complaining about could have been a heart attack.
  13. You could also try doing it through mail if you have enough time.
  14. She said it was dangerous because a foriegn man came up and asked her how she was doing. That's pretty silly.
  15. I just enjoy having a turkey dinner once in awhile. Nothing to do with religion. Humans would be better off without religions. Anyway thanksgiving is a harvest festival. Giving thanks for having enough food to make it through winter.
  16. The last 3 years I've gone to Chiangmai for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. Once at Chiangmai smokehouse for their thanksgiving buffet. The rest at The Dukes. Dukes switched the last 2 years from a buffet to a set meal service. Still large portions though. 4 years ago I went to Bourbon Street Restaurant in Bangkok for their Thanksgiving and Christmas buffet meals. The year before that we did Thanksgiving at home. But a frozen Turkey costs over 3,000 baht. So I figure why not spend that and let someone else do all the work. I've considered trying some of the hotel holiday meals but they are quite abit more expensive.
  17. About 10 years ago I lost an ATM card in a machine. It was at an SCB branch. I went inside and told them. They were kind enough to close the machine down and open it up to check and retrieve the card for me. But it took awhile as they had to count down all the money in it when they opened it up.
  18. The original article does say police are checking security cameras. Also at the end it mentions that a similar thing happened to a Russian woman about a month ago.
  19. If you check out earths history there have been several mass extinctions in the past. Mostly caused by climate change. Way before humans were here. Out biggest folly is thinking we can do something about it.
  20. Even taking 100K off she is still being ripped off.
  21. Since they are saying it is the hotels system that is compromised I'm not sure this would help. Best thing to do is never use links sent to you. Also don't give info to people calling you. Specially those claiming something will happen if you don't give them your info.
  22. I guess the driver was even swifter.
  23. There are a lot of Filipino english teachers in public schools here. They can have quite an accent. So that may be some of the reason for it. I sometimes feel Thai's purposefully don't understand me when I am speaking Thai. I know my Thai is not the greatest and I mess up tones. But I think sometimes it is because when I speak thai they are listening for english and just hear gibberish.
  24. It will take quite a while to 'probe' everything there.
