SAFETY FIRST

I prefer male mosquitoes, no biting.

Are we allowed to talk about mosquito gender, we don't want to offend 😜

Probably got something to do with the price of land in Bangkok. The average land price in Bangkok is ฿ 26.01 million ($702,373), while the average price per square meter is ฿ 82,450 ($2,226). Over the last 12 months, the land price in Bangkok has seen an annual growth of 48%. The median rent price of land in Bangkok is ฿ 50,850 ($1,373).

These foreigners involved in road rage are over reacting also, it's poor behavior and immature. My instructions for respecting the Thais was directed to those foreign aggressors, the foolish ones, not normal foreigners. Are you a normal foreigner or an aggressor? Lots of people get shot dead for minor arguments, happens all over the world, look at the USA. You Pal parking issue, were you there or are you just going on his word, your pals story, two sides to every story? Over the many years I've had a few friends, pals (I've got lots here) who have had issues, run ins with Thais but these guys were the instigators, the motorvators, they got what they deserved.

Let's us know how you go, I've got an old HDD that stop working, I'd like to recover some old family photos

Not on this thread, I'm the first to mention here. Did you read the comment, KannikaP was referring to female mosquito?

How little you know, any Aedes Aegypti mosquito could have bitten Only female mosquitoes bite people

How much money will be claimed or was anyone fined? Slightly off topic but good story mate, have you got any more? 😂 How's the dog?

Ha, ha, this was funny 👍

Another worthy item to know when flying which surprised me, international flights landing in the USA do not offer free alcohol. I used to fly Bangkok, Narita into Houston. Once you get on the plane at Narita you are paying for grog. It was around $5 a can, I'd pay for 6 on the credit card and if you are nice to the ladies serving they won't ask you for more money. If I remember it's a 10 beer flight.

My company did get us cheap tickets but would pay for lounge access at Angola coming of the rig. They also paid for 2 free drinks, the coupons were waiting at the sign in counter. While we're on the subject of airport lounges don't bother going to any lounge in Saudi Arabia, NO ALCOHOL, bloody waste of time, only have Budweiser no alcohol (disgusting drink).

I've often thought the same thing.

How did you pay COD or pay online? I don't see how checking it would help, the delivery guy won't take it back if you don't like it.

Don't let it get you down, try to ignore these people, they are miserably people. Sadly there are more and more of these miserable foreigners coming here.

It Only happens because the foreigner does something stupid Have you had 6 Thais jump out of a car and attack you, did you do something stupid? Thailand has been my home for more than 20 years, never been attacked by a Thai, never been abused by a Thai, I've never had a disagreement with a Thai. Some of the foreigners are outright nasty people, they deserve what they get. Come down to soi Buakhao, check out the many stupid foreigners. I wish there was car load of Thais to teach these foolish foreigners a lesson, some manners. Show some respect towards the Thais, we are visitors here.

That's because some of these foreigners are bitter and miserable. They've married a bar girl because they were desperate to live in Thailand, moved to the village. The misses is out and about everyday, shagging the Thai boyfriend, hubby left at home moaning and complaining on social media.

Crickey, that's some title 😮

That would be well deserved.

Oh dear, Russians are competing with the Pom's in the crazy people category.

Oh, is that why Dan About Thailand lives there. 😮

Ha, ha, I may have sat at the bar and had a few drinks with you over the years, I'd fly every month.

Never got to see the 1st class bar upfront but spent a lot of time down at the back bar (business). My favorite airline flying on my all time favorite aeroplane. Emirates A380. Flew many times Dubai to BKK, BKK to Dubai. Couldn't resist the Grey Goose within the mini bar in the flat bed business Like you say, arrived well lubricated.

My company buys the cheapest tickets at times so cheap I can't upgrade. Anyway, when I started flying Emirates I was only a silver member. Emirates allow silver members with economy tickets in the business lounge Dubai

Business lounges are located departure halls. If you can somehow get from arrival to departure the business class lounge will ask for local boarding pass.

Sorry you are right I corrected that.. I'm not influenced by their marketing but many weak people are.
