  1. Well I didn't see this coming. And if all else fails hide the calculators. Oh wait. Did that last time
  2. Rather than panic people with this nonsense and the kids are once again on the frontline in terms of paying a price let's see the breakdown of these deaths. Vaccinated or not. And was the cause of death from Covid primary, secondary or incidental. We are not falling for this again
  3. Devastated to here this news. In addition to helping me through the years with advice Joe helped me in my deepest darkest hour during the pandemic. I was at an absolute low and that one message of reassurance with a visa issue lifted me no end. Rest in Peace Joe. I will never forget you.
  4. Pre election gimmick surely. There is no way he will be allowed back into Thailand.
  5. The durians look fine to me I can't see the controversy. I hear she is moving to melons next when the durian season is over. Buy one grab one free.
  6. I just explained the new rules to my lovely Thai wife. She looked at me like a dog who had just been shown a card trick, smiled then walked away.
  7. So it's really about rooting out Chinese criminal elements than about making Chinese (genuine) tourists feel safe because surely they would be a threat to everyone in the country not just the Chinese. Can't have competition for the Thai mafia hey
  8. If the last three years have taught me anything is that as soon as the word "expert" is mentioned I switched off. Absolutely nothing to do with OPEC and others cutting production then. In addition price caps on russian sea bound crude should mean prices are lower.
  9. Same here. Weird that isn't it. Went back to the UK last April for 7 weeks at the so called height of infections and not even a sniffle. The mandatory mask wearing of the plane was difficult though
  10. Sounds like the kind of thing my local police would do for me and I am neither well known nor important. They helped me search for a missing street dog I feed one night. I really don't see a problem
  11. This sounds like it has been written by a 10 year old who just finished the chores for mum and dad and wanted to let them know what a great job they have done.
  12. Sends out an unjustified fear mongering notice and asks the public not to panic. I thought the majority are vaxxed on what we were told was a 95 percent effective vaccine. Or is this just to look important. Get on with life.
  13. If only people knew it's sauce is actually Bara a fermented fish that smells like a biological weapon for the stomach. If you want to be on toilet for weeks go ahead. They make Bara (pronounced Bala) at our local market and it truly is the worse thing I have ever had the misfortune to smell.
  14. Some hold this country back. I don't use it but it's way safer than alcohol
  15. "You can complete the 90-day reporting within 14 days before or up to seven days after". Has anyone tried online reporting. I want to try it for the first time next month and always thought it was 7 days before due date and 7 days after. Can anyone confirm? Thank you
  16. I agree. There is no reason not be polite in such situations. He could shop somewhere else.
  17. I find a few home truths often anger local Thais especially when they kill each other by burning trash and go around poisoning the local dogs. I don't hold back in my anger as such events but more than aware they hunt in packs so carry a weapon of some sort with me. But in the main most are polite and don't do the above but losing that public face can get you in trouble. Unkindness to animals is my one trigger. But their are many who are not so keep that sword sheathed until absolutely necessary.
  18. UK-renewpassport.net really. For every scam you need a dumb customer and anyone dumb enough to use that URL shouldn't really have a passport. My country like my US cousins is a falling nation. Glad I got out. Love my adopted home. Thank you Thailand
  19. I remember being pulled up for bringing an apple into Thailand that Thai Airways gave me on the flight. I know many Thais packing their suitcase with all sorts of fruit going into the UK my wife included.
  20. Would never trust it. It's even been programmed to be politically one sided.
  21. Because what is defined as racist now people are careful in what they say. If you're saying you have no prejudice bone in your body, that would make you a liar
  22. If you're stupid enough to fall for the old cow urine joke then there is no hope. In other news there is a severe shortage of calculators in Thailand during the month of May.
  23. When I met my Thai wife back in the UK some 16 years ago she told me that she would always want to die in Thailand. Meaning at some point she wanted to live here permanently. I thought there is no way I am living in the place like that and this relationship won't be going anywhere. How wrong I was. It seems the wanting to return home is strong in many.
  24. Scrambling? Really? Never seen a Thai move that fast nor scramble anything, not even eggs.
