Older and Wiser

The swastika, if that's what it was, has a long past. It was popular long before Hitler adopted it and it became a hated symbol. They appear in Budhist and Hindu religions. I remember when I lived in Japan about 30 odd years ago, that the locations of temples were indicated by a reversed swastika. I would also add, as a Filipino resident of 25 years, that such incidents, killing a friend after drinking and getting into an argument, in the Philippines are quite common. I know personally of two cases. In one case, the brother of my now ex-wife (my b-in-l) was drinking heavily with friends. One of his friends pulled a ring off his finger and, horsing around, wouldn't return it. He went home came back with a gun and shot his friend dead. I was even asked to pay Php50k blood money to keep him out of jail.

Limousine bus from Narita to Tokyo is most convenient, or used to be when I lived there up till 1998.

I am based in the Philippines, though spend quite a lot of time Thailand. I subscribed to anzfootball.com in the Philippines, it also works in Thailand. All ads and pundits in Thai. Cost about $7/month and features all kinds of matches, including all top European leagues and beyond.

800m Baht is 20m dollars, 5m dollars a year.

Lurch is probably here only for a holiday.

Yes and mix with peanut butter, they love it.

If some company started that here, they'd probably end up in hot water.

I sold mine 2021, it had been rented out to the same guy for 16 years, then he bought it. I had to do self-assessment for cap gains, paid around GBP2,300, it was my only property in UK.

B3000 Per semester? Doesn't that work out at around B30+ per day. Nuf said.

Unless it's a busy time or busy location. I've tried for 3 hours or more for Grab in Ortigas.

I bought a condo in South Cha-Am, agent was fellow Brit and seller was Swedish. No problems at all. Perhaps that tells you something?

Not just what he left out but what he put in. Would you recommend a tourist to take a tuk tuk if you'd stayed in Bangkok more than a few days even, he does.

I don't know about other airlines, but if I book through PAL they always ask nationality.

Yes, they're black panties. Never seen a beaver that big.

It said that Thais were 56% of visitors in 2022. Strange, of approx 750k visitors from Nov 1 to Jan 26, there were only 7k, or about 1%. If for whole of 2022 the number of visitors was 9.5m, or approx 800k per month, then Thais were around 525k a month. But for three months from Nov to Jan total 7200, or 2,400 per month. What happened to all the Thais?
