Maybe that Glassdoor. Check there, as I believe you can leave reviews about various establishments.

What's your point, you achieved a pyrrhic victory over a small-time traffic policeman, and want to crow about it?

Do you think half of the wide-eyed foreigners here would have the same balls? Nah...555

Thanks for posting the experience!

The clear skies?  Are your from Delhi?

In Bangkok the majority of the year has clear blue skies. I can see it with me eyes...

It's sunny too if you can't see that...

I'll look out for that. I remember the original Chaang. The current variant is a very inferior product in comparison.

Please post on it's taste and what you think about it.

I tried Chaang for the first time in years a day ago, it's quite smooth. But yeah, I would recommend that 'Tapper'. Two Thai people told me it was the old/original Chaang brew also.

My new favorite beer: Tapper. 6.5% and slightly bitter. Apparently it is the original Chaang.

Was at a Tesco Mini, gel was available when I walked in and they took my temp. Only 4 available so I asked the guy if there were more in the back. He brought out more for me.  I will go to see if they have more stocked up.

I like the clear skies and summer being mostly all year round weather.

I can speak Thai enough too also enjoy that aspect of it as well.

People here are simple just have to look for it.

Durian! ❤

Well try doing a search for your choice of seeds through Lazada BUT make sure to select 'local' or from Thailand only.

I bought those 'Reaper' pepper seeds from Lazada and I might just try to order some more.

RIP.

Thanks for sharing. His lyrics are quite thoughtful. I'm not a music expert but from what I hear he does seem in the same 'league' as J. Cash.

Each tv needs it's own box with true. U may well get the 2nd free or very cheaply. Best call them. 

Calling TRUE? Gese, talk about the worst automated menu...Maybe after five minutes you can reach an actual person...

A pen. Well I guess many carry one already.

It should have a pen on it. It's not only incomplete but a bit unpractical. Well, I can see how bringing your own dishes will be good for many local working people as often they will eat together and share dishes.

Really glad to hand sanitizer being available at places when you walk in.

Published 3 weeks ago: The Royal Thai Army this morning began spraying roads in Bangkok with disinfectant to combat the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus . the Royal Thai Army units have been deployed to carry out the daily cleaning from 1am to 5am until the end of March.

Other countries do the same. Search YouTube: truck spraying

I'm wondering if the virus is in the air and if it's completely safe to ride a bike in BKK (with a mask). Some countries have banned cycling.

Interesting as I thought the heat of the sun would kill it. I suppose I should read up on it..ehhh

Interesting while at Makro today, I learned you can buy anything you want online from them and as long as its over 1000 baht they'll deliver it.

I too was at a Makro today. They were selling masks. Had to provide my passport also. Not the N95 ones but those regular somewhat cheap looking ones. Only 10 THB for 4 of them but I need to double check on that. They were really cheap though. Figured to stock up. Also, they had jugs of hand sanitizer that seems to leave the skin quite smooth while having 70% alcohol in it. Just put it in dispensers. Was 550 Thb.

Yeah, I'll probably get Makro delivered now along with my WishBeer order! Cheers.

As for 40K THB a month needed for the 1 year marriage extension, the other option being putting 400k in the bank for 2 months (as the OP is) prior to applying, they only want to see the latest two months with a sum of at least 40K deposited into my bank?

Video video video ..... only thing that works

Especially if the apartment office ladies want to see who you have been having over...????????

Times like these they probably enjoy checking out the foreigners on the security cameras...

I see this story and then I see pictures and huge lines of people at immigration...hmmm

Crazy comment, so in your opinion, the world should punish the Chinese population for the wrong doings of their masters.

Should teach them some more manners when at the supermarket. You know, how they put their fingers in the raw meat and then not even buy it.

Yeah I understand and agree with your point. I suppose when half of them want to be 'good citizens' and act/view matters with no deviation from the gov., a resentment of their whole culture/social norms arises. Just, IMO.
