  1. Well, there must be a reason why there is talk of casinos in Thailand now...
  2. Also known as Overlord Order 66... ????
  3. Makes sense. Thailand's flag has similar colours as the Stars and Stripes... ????
  4. A single-entry tourist visa used to be 1,000 baht in some neighbouring countries. Other than that, embassies make up their own prices, depending what exchange rate to the Thai baht they think is appropriate. Meaning, the embassy in France has a more realistic exchange rate, while in Belgium they possibly anticipate, at an exchange rate of 1:25, a further decline of the euro. ????
  5. This is just a stupid show on Russian TV. The news item is weeks old. - A general announcing that Russia is ready, London probably being the first target, and computer animations showing the audience what it would look like. Macabre Russian entertainment...
  6. I noticed a general decline of good bread on offer over the past couple years, Big C, some Villa Markets, etc. Of course, Covid-19 and a lower number of expats and tourists didn't help.
  7. Still, if Africa is short of wheat, then prices worlwide will know only one way, up.
  8. Send Pelosi, she's the one with balls...
  9. Xi won't be pleased, so the Chinese will probably be exempted...
  10. Two more to add to TAT's tourist number tally... ????
  11. Did he read these numbers from his morning tea leaves?
  12. Can be used now forever until Covid-19 cases are down to literally zero...
  13. My experience, so far, is actually pretty good. Able to book with Agoda, two international airlines, and an international tour booking company. (In the latter case a lousy exchange rate, though: 37.28 to the dollar.)
  14. I got an SMS what number to call, but even though I dialled #2 for English language, I never got past an endless recorded message in Thai. I then tried to split the amount into two, but my second transaction was declined, so I reckon the daily limit is either 20,000 or 15,000 baht. It's not a big problem, as my payments are usually lower.
  15. Tried to pay a bill with my K-Bank debit card. Turns out 28,000 baht is above the limit for a transaction. Anyone knows the 'limit'?
  16. What did you show flying to NZ? Are Mor Prom or paper copies of vaccinations in Thailand accepted?
  17. Funny, in other countries, reportedly, consumption has decreased in recent months. Is the government planning on 'helicopter money' to foster such consumption improvement?
  18. Fair enough. If you have relatives and friends who take you in, meaning you live there for free, and employers who will hire you anyway, even if it is illegal, then it is a win-win, of course.
  19. Saw a similar scheme yesterday for mango farming on Facebook. Little information, just promising almost 20% profit. Obviously trying to lure greedy, but gullible people...
  20. Have you used the aircon more frequently and at a lower temperature, perhaps?
  21. My landlady charges 8 baht as usual, but instead of 4 baht + 4 baht 'service charge', the bill this time said '5 baht + 3 baht service charge'.
  22. Well, as a foreigner in Thailand, those people are the ones I follow on YouTube (e.g. Simon Whistler, standup comedians, talkshow hosts, etc.), or actors/characters of my favourite TV shows, and, on rare occasions, other foreigners or Thais I meet for a limited time.
  23. The age-old belief that 'money grows on trees' in the West. Also, the lack of knowledge about housing crisis and high living costs. Yes, wages may be twice** what they are in Mexico, but housing and other living costs are four times** as much (**example!). - Do these people google what life is like 'up north' before heading there? I don't think so...
