I would find where the main fuse box is and unplug to leave the rude germans in the dark and no more disco box speakers 😆

The proper rate to boost tourism will be to give 45 THB for 1 euro. And keep it on that rate for the next 5 years.

There are the people that insult others, always want to be right, always trying to make others sound stupid....not suprising that they get insulted back. There is always the rotten apple who starts and then comes crying why he or she got it back. Simple. Be nice to others, be civil, stop trying to make others look stupid and you won't get insulted back. All an ego problem with such people comming on social media to feel superiour or powerful and thus handle their lack of self confidence by insulting others, instead of seeking medical help.

And how many top police officers involved on this one ?

Russians or Ukrainians are the same with similar cultural patterns. Not saying one is better or worse then the other...just saying they are very the same. If even Sri Lanka has ousted them, there must be a good reason.

it would be nice to have the helpline and complaints numbers for foreigners wishing to complain agains the taxi and tuk tuk mafia crooks. Very good for Bangkok, what what about the other towns like Phuket-Hua Hin-Pattaya ? Foreigners in Bangkok mostly use the skytrain so this would be more of concern in the other beach towns

It is the US and the Biden gang who have been fueling hostility, sanctions and pushing the world to war. The US arms dealers must be grateful. Even a fool would be aware and understand the usual tricks the US is playing with Europe and the world. As long as Thailand and Asia keep their distances with sleepy Joe's cronies, all will be fine here.

Nobody will ever challenge the image of a hardworking delivery man who is thirsty and deserves full respect and empathy. But what creates uproar is the manner of taking other people's property for granted. The sense of entitlement to use other peoples property without even asking. People are just fed up with such behaviour in Thailand. Say you have some people doing work in your home or condo, would you like to see them take their usual 40 minute after-lunch-nap on your bed or sofa without even caring to ask ? As it happened once on my property and of course the next day the sleepy chap was paid off and out of the premises.

I had problems in the ceiling recessed lights with dimmer, that started to flicker suddenly when light was left on low light. Same story with all the electric cowboys who could never really explain. Plainly changed the brand of the bulbs and till now, no more issues. If the lights have dimmer switch fixed on the main laines, they may/can have issues as the switches apparently in Thailand may not be able to handle it no matter what. But this is plainly a guess as once again, I am absolutely no specialist in the matter. Just that in my case it was solved (for the moment), in changing the brand of the led bulbs.

One dares not imagine the shame back home in the Brit hood, when all the lads will get to know what their (former) buddy was upto in Land of Sins !! ...behind their back and mainly his back !!

In many a thai restaurant that has it's washing area in the open air, one can see how they just dip the dirty dishes in a large cauldrons of water. If one looks closely in the kitchen, you may never again eat out.

I left BB this year, .Bad service at some branches (like all banks) but the annual fees changes. Not to mention that some branches just refuse to handle simple admiinstrative tasks to manage the account and rudely say to get it done in the branch where you opened the account. But they also hint that if you open the account in their branch, life will be made far more easy. The worst are the small branches of Bangkok Branch around NANA bts.

To many KFC or Burger King discounts on Line maybe ? Because soom, the seats in the BTS would need to get enlargened, even in the teens wagons.

No price display ? , no buy me. A bit like Lazada, You get a price on the website and when you check out, in the basket it has increased by some diving miracle. So I just delete the basket and don't purchse. I call the shop directly or go over and show the photo of the lower price on the website. Often they prefer to handle the sale directly then through Lazada. For the "never-happened-to-me"...this does not happen to every item sold, but often.

If pulled over, always have the emergency hotline number of your embassy and of a lawyer. Most of the time is scares away the corrupt ones.

How can one claim to hold the holy truth on what is worthy or not to be discussed if in a civil and polite manner ? One chap thinking he is the smartest in the hood, may appear as a rude and arrogant fool to another and the other way round. Same for the topics. Some may find him or her boring or foolish but for others they could be divine lifesavers, Same for differences on politics. Some may applause Trump and others Biden. In a democracy, that is fully their right - no rocket science. Are they are also going to get posts deleted, banned or warned just out of a political difference ? Of course not as ASEAN is open minded...hopefully :-) How can one consider baning people plainly on the topics they post or their ideas (provided within the law of course) ? I far more enjoy reading Bob Smith then somebody else thinking he is giving lecture in geopolitics in a Harvard Amphitheater ? Some boring comments in my view that often could be rubbish depsite the 89'448 posts but to others it could be the post of the day. Unless one wants this place to be empty, numbers to drop and loose market value, filled just with the old timers arguing on the number of posts they have, that give them a sense of "this or that" and ranting against any newcommer or anybody with interesting stuff to post.....well IMHO, no way for me and probably for many others. I once got suspended years ago, just because "God" on duty-forum patrol, considered that I had to many posts....no other reason. I would only delete posts with arrogant, rude or uncouth comments, from some thinking they run the show, or either belive themselves to be the grammar police or feel like columist critics towards other people's posts/topics. Same for the racist extremists obviously who have no place in a public forum. With full respect to moderating any forum, deleting a post plainly on the "off topic" excuse, or the "nonsense comment excuse" has no sense and liveability in a forum and posters will just stop comming. Thank you.

Thanks, did not know that IP was floating in Thailand and changing. Always thought it remained the same,. Ok I learnt something new today...

Thanks man. But I don't use VPN (yet!). I think it's just the ad blockers and those f..ers want customers to appel vulnerable in the system to get hold of our data. But thanks anyway.

Dont' worry Bob, Churchill was also one, yet I think he sort of made it out in life I think !!. Not to mention other renowned authors, heads of state through history with diverse perversions or addictions. So no harm in being an alcoholic, as long as it does not harm/hurt others then oneself perhaps. You are fully right on the drunks or even sober jerks you refer to. "Quality" people who are just looking to rant, argue, contradict or be rude. I plainly put them on "ignore" on social media or in real life in society just politely smile, say "oh that's interesting" and turn my back to them and interact with somebody else away from the toxics. Thank god everybody is not like that. Have a nice evening pal.

Wow that's harsh. Kindly permit me to think that all people are not bad to that extent. Or elese maybe I got lucky ever since I started to brush away the toxic ones ? It's like a rare stone, you need to look a bit to hit on one. Have a nice evening and thank you for your comment.

Triggered rather by forms of environmental fascism, anarchy and dogmatism. Science is great and usually true. It's how it's used that "triggers" !! Have a nice evening Mr AWWWW.. 😂

Sorry to dig this out, but same here, getting that annoying message of unusual trafic from your netork with Lazada. Many commented here that as it's chinese owned, those crooks want customers to remove all safety and ad blocker features. No need to say somebody else got my business and not Lazada as i don't like being pressured and blackmailed of the sort. I strongly believe if you remove your ad blockers, they will obviously start tracking your details for commercial and the usual BS. Maybe having just a dedicated browser and old thrashy computer just for Lazada may be the solution, with only COD purchase of course and absolutely no credit card details.

Another "normal" day, for low life loosers taking out their failures and frustrations on others.

A sensible approach could consider to impose government tax on the systems that replace humains with ai robotics. If not the whole pension system can collapse in many countries.

I would rather try to bait on GoFundMe ... it could avoid some embarassment here perhaps ?
