  1. I went from an Asus zenphone 3 to a zenphone 8, just hit the transfer feature and all my apps came accross. The only problem was the phone ,only half my contacts came so I had to do the rest manually. However they came the next day so I had a pile of double entries to delete.
  2. I got mine at Tesco/Lotus . They had many shelves full but only one that was big enough and that was pink.
  3. I had to wear a school uniform till I was 18. I hated it but on the up side I did not have the problem of deciding what to wear each day.
  4. Looks like the BIB are going after the low hanging fruit as always.
  5. I prefer the rat glue works good. Don't use poison they will die out of site and you will not find them till they start to stink.
  6. Some people never learn that if a deal appears too good to be true then it is seldom true. So long as there are fools there will be people ready to take advantage of them. Just like dope as log as people desire it there will be those ready to sell.
  7. China has not been communist since Deng Xiopeng. Also it is not a dictatorship ,it has a one party system that keeps the wealth from buying conrol . An that what pisses off the yanks.
  8. Bangkok got rid of the old tax mafia that used to hang out at the airport.
  9. Sooner or later Thailand will have to pay proper wages like Japan or Korea. Everyone in my wifes family that owns a house has it because they went overseas to work, Saudi Arabia, Japan. Taiwan. B 450 is still miserable.
  10. Engineering most probably OK, problem is if the owner cheapes out and does not listen to the Engineer. Also I wonder if the authorities need the Engineer to sign off ?
  11. Doesn't the military own TV and radio stations. That should make them all ineligible.
  12. The rich have always run Thailand , unless there is a radical change of government nothing will happen to inconvenience them. Thaksin's biggest sin was to show poor people that their vote counted ,that's why they run him off .They claim it's for corruption but that has always been and still is, goes with the job.
  13. Opposite to Prayut he has all kinds of road and bridge jobs going on around his home town Korat.
  14. What's the profit on a bottle of beer Bht 10 ? you would have to sell 300 to make Bht 3000 that's after the ones you sold to pay the bills.
  15. I took one flying lesson 5 years ago. I remember the instructor telling how to descend and line up with the runway. I was waiting for him to take over the controls but he never did and before I knew it we had landed. So I suspect a mechanical failure because landing is not difficult if you listen to the instructor.
  16. When somebody stole mine I replaced it with aluminium not had a problem since.
  17. The big brewers don't want craft beer catching on. They are using their political clout to do them in.
  18. We went to see the panda years ago ,it lived in an air conditioned building with lots of greenery. It was sleeping when we got there then it woke up took a dump and went back to sleep. Almost two days driving each way just to see that , I was not impressed.
  19. Citizens of Switzerland and Japan don't have to pay for a visa. A reward for giving lots of hand outs to Laos.
  20. If you put your phone and smokes in one of those plastic things you hang around your neck then they know you are up for a soaker. They stop motorcycles and soak them down might even give you a shot of Lao Khow ,lots of fun.
  21. You can buy an anti oxidant ,it comes in a tube like toothpaste. I had no luck explaining this to a Thai electrician so I brought some from Canada where you can buy it in any electrical shop.
  22. Years ago it was much cheaper to buy a return from Bangkok rather than the other way especially if you were going business class. The airlines caught on to this so did not like people going over on a one way ticket and then buying a cheap return from Bangkok. If you went over on points they would know for sure that you knew the system and would want to see a visa.
  23. Years ago I told my young fellow that if he ever hope to get laid a messy room would be a turn off for sure. I told him that if he brought a girlfriend home she would take one look at his room and then come into mine. He got the message and he has had a clean room ever since and that was 30 years ago.
  24. Used to be that if you went down by the river you could pick up AIS from Thailand. Now your phone goes over to Laos Telecom as soon as you cross the bridge.
