  1. Should look ok when you look like your avatar , That don't look bad. Don't worry Be happy.
  2. , it is a law in Thailand for taxis to use the meter. Taxis in Thailand are legally required to use the meter when picking up passengers, and they should not refuse a fare if they are available. While the law mandates meter usage, some taxi drivers in Thailand, particularly in tourist areas and at night, may try to negotiate a fixed fare, which is often higher than the metered rate. This practice is a common scam targeting tourists.
  3. Acting Thai PM Declares All-Out War on Drug Gangs Nationwide. Don't like his chances ,unless he start Shooting All the Druggies /Dealers and Cops that are in that Trade.

  6. Foreign Volunteer Claims Death Threats at Lopburi AIDS Temple.

  7. The Apps are Useless and not secure if one uses them In public/shops they can be Monitored and Hacked. At home on the Laptop/Computer with Internet Banking one has a Better chance to stay safe with an OTP reply by Phone .You and many people and the banks know that but won't admit that. 👍

Why apologise, Monks have Too much money as it is now ,they get money every year from the Government and they collect Millions from the People every day . I say don't give them Anything . Tell them to get Self sufficient like the European Real monks and stop begging for money.

  13. Fury Erupts After Foreigners Brutally Assault Local in Patong. I understand that assaults are very wrong . What did happen and what was the reason for the assault . What did go wrong ,did the Thai do something Wrong or the foreigners. We all know what the Thais are doing in the tourist area ,double, triple charging , Absurd traffic behavior, Gouging people who hired rented vehicles for damages that were there before . Most times it's the other way , 10 coward Thais against 1or 2 Tourists. Nothing much is said about this most times.

  19. Yes ,I pay with Debit card, I don't have and don't want Wallet . I get all my Refunds right back to my bank account from the debit card , it just takes a couple days at the most.
  20. It's happening in Europe . the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced the deposit facility (DF) rate from 0 to −0.10% in June 2014, and since then has gone progressively lower (at the time of writing this paper, the DF rate is at −0.50%), but also the central banks of Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, and Japan set negative policy rates.
  21. So You Say. Thailand does not accept the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). They have not accepted it since 1960. While Thailand is a member of the UN and bound by the UN Charter, they have consistently stated their preference for resolving border disputes with Cambodia through existing bilateral mechanisms, like the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC). Here's a more detailed explanation: No acceptance of compulsory jurisdiction: Thailand has explicitly stated that it does not accept the ICJ's compulsory jurisdiction, meaning they don't automatically recognize the court's authority to settle disputes with other nations.
  22. Bangkok Bank app face scan problems. Yes , We tried the Face scan for the BBank app just to be prepared for when they Axe the I Banking . So far No luck will go to the bank and they can sort this crap. I have heard that even some bank staff have had problems with the Face scans.
  23. Yes that is the big Question Thailand says its Thai land and Cambodia will say that it is Theirs. Who is going to be the referee again (ICJ) to say What is what and who's going to listen to the decision. It seems that Thailand wouldn't/didn't listen to the decision last time when ICJ made the decision in Favor for Cambodia . in 2013, when the International Court of Justice (ICJ) reaffirmed its 1962 ruling, extending Cambodia's sovereignty to the surrounding area.
  24. Very sad ,Hope they find her soon. Now What is what 300baht = approx 8,280 Thai Baht. Please explain , What the difference is As far as I know There's only One Thai Baht.
