I can explain it to you but cant understand it for you. If the price of 1 Item is 99baht, available on the shelf. Next to it, is huge display, with BUY! get 1 FREE but the price is 199bt how is that buy one get one free, its NOT its twice the price of a single you are just buying two. Examples? go into ANY Big C or Lotus;s and you'll see it.

It’s hard to ignore — in almost every discussion, there’s always that one member who seems to: Moan endlessly Nitpick over trivial details Correct everyone else Remind us (again) how much more they know It’s like some people hit a certain age and suddenly feel compelled to point out every flaw, as if it keeps them relevant. And when they’re not correcting, they’re complaining — about how things used to be better, how we’re all doing it wrong, or how "kids these days" have it easy. So let’s ask the real question: Is this about wisdom — or insecurity? Do some older members just need to feel heard, or feel smarter, because they’re scared of becoming irrelevant in a world that’s moved on? Not all older people behave this way, of course — some bring real value. But others seem to thrive on being condescending for sport. So, if this is hitting close to home... maybe ask yourself: 👉 Are you sharing wisdom, helping people — or just making noise? and a nuisance

Wife gets a monthly housekeeping budget so she pays for all household related items. Anything outside of that goes on HER credit card which I then pay when its due, as its easier than me trying to get one. Just making use of whats easily available and no matter which way you look at it, I'm in control of the flow.Although it wouldn't appear like that to the casual observer.

What is it with Thai stores? Do they really not understand or grasp what "Buy one get one free" means ? To me , "buy one free one" means you get 2 for the price of ONE But no to Thai stores, it means you pay DOUBLE the price of one to get two ! Where's the consumer protection, or do they just think or know, most consumers are that thick ! that they're not getting anything FREE they're buying TWO. Rant over 😀

I've stayed at the Ruamchit, directly over top of that place. Nice little hotel good pool, great location for nightlife.

Suspect what ? Can't a guy just go have some fun and break free for a couple nights?

Guys, can you help me out and point me in the right direction and give some suggestions for a weekend of fun? I've been out the sticks too long, I have this need to go to either Bsngkok, or Pattaya and have a blow out! I don't drink so it's a virtual blow out, I just want to go have some fun. Play with some naughty girls, eat some great food and just soak up the seedy fun side of life for a weekend. So, Bangkok or Pattaya ? Where am I staying?. Places to go ENJOY all the stuff a guy wants from a range of female company.

Hey everyone, bad news for Stripe payment gateway users, they are now charging if you want to challenge a dispute! It was bad enough getting hit 20 quid for receiving a chargeback, now they charging another 20 quid to challenge it. This brings the total fees to 40 quid plus their percentage. This basically means any sales under say 50 quid are just totally lost if the customer chargesback on their card. This is giving some people a license to commit very easy theft/fraud. I think its really damaging to small business and I for one will be looking for an alternate service or payment gateway, any suggestions please ?

Ever considered what impact your presence in this land has had on the Thais around you or may be whose family you are now part of ? How many Thais lives have been effected because you settled here? How different would their lives be if you left tomorrow ?

When I was younger, having been raised in the UK, I never even thought much of foreign travel,.Sure I had occasional holidays over the years, 2 weeks here or there but never considered living in another country. Then later in life, after a divorce and later a holiday to Thailand, which then became extended, then hypnotised by the place I never left, except to go back and detach myself completely from what was. Funny how life can unfold, there was no plan, it just happened that way. How about you? Just the way it's happened, or did you have a structured plan, or was it something else that led you to lay your hat in Thailand for the foreseeable future?

Many of us are getting on in years, and I was wondering about different things in the past as you tend to do as you get older. I was thinking back to the time I first left home. I'd had a big fight with my mother over a girl amongst other things I was getting into as I became a legal adult. So, I decided that was it—moving out! The following months about 18 were probably the hardest I had ever known. The positive side was I learned an awful lot too and it made me grow up pretty fast. The lowest point, living in a bedsit area was ok but it wasnt easy adapting to being totally "on your own" and coping and doing everything for yourself. I had work that wasnt great pay but enough to get by and pay my bills and I ate out most of the time, usually from the chippy. I got laid off from my job a few months later; I was "on the dole" for awhile; that period was really rough with almost no money. I remember going out early morning to get milk off the doorsteps; if I struck lucky, I got orange juice and even some eggs in those days. I had just enough money one time for a bowl of soup in the transport cafe. Pretty low and rough times for awhile. How about you ?, what was your roughest or lowest time for you as a young adult, or maybe you hit bottom at another time ?

I’ve been living in Thailand for awhlle now, based in Pattaya. Great place, love the country, love the people. But there’s one thing I just can’t seem to figure out—finding a proper long-term relationship. Don’t get me wrong, there’s been no shortage of fun. I’ve had my fair share of dates and, you know, other things. But finding someone who’s genuinely interested in me and not what I can do for them? That’s been a struggle. I’m in my 50's, keep myself in decent shape, and I don’t think I’m too bad-looking. But most of the women I meet here seem to want financial support, and I’m not interested in being an ATM. Then there’s the other side of it—some of the women I’ve dated didn’t speak a word of English. I gave it a go, but honestly, it just got awkward and boring after a while. I’ve tried chatting up women who work regular jobs—shop girls, market sellers, even a pharmacist once—but it doesn’t seem to go anywhere. Maybe it’s the language barrier, or maybe they’ve already got a farang boyfriend. Or, who knows, maybe Pattaya’s just not the place for a foreigner to find a serious relationship. Feels like the reputation here works against me sometimes. I’ve started thinking maybe I’m in the wrong spot entirely. Like, should I move? Maybe try a quieter city in Thailand may be up north? or even go somewhere like the Philippines, where English is more common? I’m not giving up yet, but it’s starting to feel like a dead end. So, what do you guys think? How did you meet your partner? Any tips for finding someone genuine? I’m not keen on apps—too many freelancers and scams there. Got any advice for meeting someone the old-fashioned way? Thanks

Recent reports of drone sightings in New Jersey and other areas have caught my attention. Witnesses describe drones flying in coordinated patterns for hours at night, sometimes with lights off and evading typical detection methods like heat sensors. Authorities haven’t been able to identify the operators or their origin, leaving plenty of room for speculation. Some explanations point to possible misidentifications, suggesting that many of these “drones” might actually be manned aircraft or hobbyist drones. But others believe there could be something more mysterious at play, with theories ranging from espionage by foreign nations like China to experimental military technology or even extraterrestrial involvement. Officials have largely dismissed these claims, though they’ve acknowledged the need for better monitoring and transparency. It’s hard to ignore how unusual this situation is. Why are so many sightings going unexplained? Are we dealing with advanced technology, or is this just a case of overactive imaginations? What do you think is going on here?
