  1. Ironic that it was invented by a brit for safety reasons
  2. This has been happening for years in Thailand. body wash in pump action bottles are 500ml, then the quantity drops to 450 and the price stays the same, then the packaging size drops but the contents remain the same then the new size comes out with 500ml at a higher price and so it begins again. Even worse are the large supermarkets which bundle 3 packs pf something together and charge more that 3 times the price. Selling 2 for the price of one (buy one get one free)should just tell you never to buy the single as it is overpriced but Thais love anything free. My wife will buy stuff she doesn't want just because she can get something free.
  3. mercedes headlights pop out quite easily.
  4. That is my objection. where is the democracy? you have a non elected leader just like he is a dictator.
  5. And still we will have people objecting to 2 months deposit.
  6. plus the Maastricht treaty was pointing the way to total unity of europe. One armed forces, one governing body with countries parliaments being relegated to the level of county councils. I did not get chance to vote but would have voted leave and still would, given the chance. Incompetent leaders is the problem, only incompetents are on offer for your vote, politicians and not leaders. There is only a veneer of democracy when you are offered a choice between a or b and both a and b are going to follow the party line. That is the same choice given in communist elections. Worse still in the uk the prime minister is not elected by the public but by his party, now that really is democracy gone wrong. Screaming Lord Sutch and his monster raving loony party probably put forward some of the best legislation in the uk.
  7. Perhaps the poster has seen the hindu festival of thaipusan and mistaken this for a vegetarian festival?
  8. according to https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-deaths-by-country Philippines has 7.9/100,000 , Thailand has 3.1/100 000 and Australia 0.91/100,000 So I guess the gun control laws do seem to have an effect on the number of gun deaths.
  9. It has already been quoted they are lane markers to show straight on, left turn and right turn same as most other places in the world.
  10. sincerely hope you do not own a driving license
  11. We all know that major companies get away with paying no income tax what ever country they operate in. The tax rules are made with loopholes that these companies use to ensure that there are no liabilities for their tax. Invest in these companies that operate in one country but are registered in a tax haven and you have no taxation. It is this money which can then be brought back to Thailand which, at present, has no taxation. I'm talking major money not Joe Averages small investments.
  12. I think that the expat angle is being exploited by the media writing for the English speaking market. This will not affect most expats as they come under the agreement not to double tax income. This is aimed at Thais who have investments abroad and pay no tax in the country where the income is generated and have got away with not paying tax here due to the tax rules that allow such income to be tax free.
  13. did mine on the 11th got it back 12th. using website not app, which I have never got to work.
  14. Low mass transit fares are one way of reducing the number of cars on the streets of the city. Should be paid for by tolls on the roads, as in Singapore.
  15. They store the venomous nematacysts of the Portuguese man of war and other venomous jellyfish that they eat. Their sting can be more powerful than the Portuguese man of war. Wouldn't want to try eating one raw or cooked.
  16. https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/median-age-by-country/#thailand ranks Thailand as 167th down and gives it a median age rating of 18 with 1.54 fertility rate. Monaco has a median age of 42 and the Isle of man is next with 38. Asa the pbs article said over a century ago Thai women gave birth to an average of 5 children. I suspect same as the Uk over a century ago most did not reach the age of 5.
  17. This article doesn't make sense, if they are going to check newborns how is this going to find fetal abnormalities. Checks before they are born makes more sense and is probably what is being offered.
  18. So what, you are dead, I don't suppose you care at that point.
  19. Hooray, only been there for 10 years at least, maybe this time it will last for at least a week. Take all the motorcycles off the pavement next, riding and parking
  20. it is usually a different window that it has opened. just go back to the earlier window next to it and carry on. It is not stopping you it is just advertising.
  21. Seeing as the roller was rear ended perhaps the other cars insurance is the one not wishing to pay
