Fake beer?
Quite common especially with large bottles to taste funny and even more so from mom and pop stores old stock or left in the sun . But the beer is still generally safe to drink and is not fake.

Driving Licence Renewals Go Digital: No More Tests Needed
Yes I agree the only real pain is the queue system but if Thai’s can do it on line , the queues should be shorter for foreigners if that is their only option.

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
If they all came home it would cost the government a lot more. Many would now not be able to buy a home so would need housing. 490k extra on the NHS to take care of besides the increase in pension. Then if you include all the other benefits they would be entitled to as most would now probably be under the living wage. It would be cheaper to just pay the increased pension due.

Varicose veins
My mum had hers done about 10 years ago recommended by a doctor at BPH but price was crazy. We took her to the Khon Kaen University Hospital to get it done, both legs. I can't remember the price but it was very reasonable a fraction of the Pattaya prices. The only thing is you have to except all the students in the room lol

China Denies Upstream Water Release Amid Thai Floods
The water has to go somewhere. If they cleaned the waterways out and improved the condition of the rivers more water would flow south via the Chao Phraya basin ending up in Bangkok causing more flooding there. You just can't win. Nature rules.

Dashcam Recommendations?
I have had several over the years and the best seem to be DDPai models they use capacitors which seem to handle the heat better than L-ion batteries. The heat seems to be the big killer the heat behind a windscreen is rather extreme.

- Farang with Thai employee health coverage - risk of overcharging?
What makes you think Thai's without money or insurance would fair any better in a private hospital. They would get initial treatment then get transferred out to a government hospital. Same as any foreigner without the means to pay.- Now that Biden is exiting, isn't it time to look at Trump's mental unfitness for office?
Why are we talking about American politics on a Thai site get a life. Most of us here couldn't give a hoot to be polite.- Trump lied 22 times in his acceptance speech.
He is a politician what did you expect. He is no different from any other politicians out there in any country.- Small dog bite on wrist
Did you give the bill to the owner and ask them to pay. Rabies injections for dogs are free at gov venues and very cheap so no excuse just a bad or lazy owner.- Small dog bite on wrist

The problem with video's like this are that they don't start when the arguments start. He said he asked politely first, maybe he did but was ignored so then got a bit pushy we will never know.- Has anyone ever tried a mosquito zapper and is it worth buying one
What's the point of putting them outside. They work by attracting the mozzies and then zapping them, you are just inviting all the mozzies in the area to you home and some will get in lol.- British Couple Outraged Over £9 Tin of Heinz Beans in Thailand
If you look at the can it says multipack which means they should not be sold separately.- Is there a way to get money back if sent online to someone who scammed you?
