Things that annoy you in Thailand

So many Thai restaurants bring the pot of rice first, because it is already cooked, then you get main course 10 minutes later to eat with cold rice. Then your spring rolls come, because they had to heat the oil fryer up. Hey TIT, love it or leave. -
Report British Holidaymaker Dies in Bangkok: A Mother’s Heartfelt Warning

Just order a bottle of water = a straw. What will they use when cash goes out of use? -
I just learned that the Flashback presenter Bill Rollins, to whom I listen every Friday night because of his Beach Boys slot, and who invites emails to ask for requests, died six months ago. No wonder I get no replies or requests played.

Finance Foreign Nationals Face Account Bans in Bangkok Bank Crackdown
KannikaP replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
On reading this topic, I thought i would check the KYC, no not the fried chicken shop, Know Your Customer, only to find that my Registered address was one I had in UK almost 20 years ago when I first came here, I was still a singer at a pub in Pattaya. So I asked the nice girl if she could change them, I had my yellow book, passport and phone. 'Oh no cannot do without Passbook', of which I have four. When I showed her my excel with passbook numbers in it, and wrote my Thai address in English, it only took a further half hour and two more operatives to do it. Even then, when I got home, some of it was wrong, so I had learned how to do it myself by watching. They DID NOT take a copy of my passport! -

Being asked to pay Bht 45 for a can of beer in bulk (12), and only 41 individual cans. 555 Oh yes, and BOB! But seriously, the littering, which Thais just do not seem to see. The volume of the music at parties, funerals, weddings, markets etc. -
In my case, data is always switched on on my phone. It does not use any Mobile data unless WiFI is unavailable. Bluetooth is always on and paired to the radio in my 'old' Toyota truck. The phone is held in a holder, visible from my driving position, and any calls can be controlled from the steering wheel. Fiddling with the car radio, changing stations or volume, can be just as distracting as doing the same on your phone, or on the built in info systems in most modern cars, which can be even more distracting, eg checking tyre pressures, fuel consumption etc etc.

Don't you simply download the App, BBC Sounds, LBC, Classic FM or whatever you want, or one of the International Radio App, onto your PC, phone or tablet, and off you jolly well go?
-
Why not if it is there, easy on the car radio. Or of course, have all your stations in your phone, and Bluetooth it to said radio. Perfect.

Caroline Flashback when there are no presenters, just continuous music, LBC for a bit of Chat & debate, and Classic FM to go to sleep with. Heaven. PC or phone.

Without our smartphones, where would we be in 2025?

Then why did you not mention that in your previous reply instead of 'I will never have a Smart phone' ? -

You really need to think. How can a needle in a plastic groove going round and round on a turntable, vibrating a coil in the cartridge, with all the snap, crackles and pops, and rumble, be better than a CD taken from the original master mix, or sampled from a pristine LP via DS-SD converters costing thousands. The range of a CD far exceeds that of a vinyl (yes VINyl not VYnil) LP. FLACs are noticeably better than mp3s, mainly because mp3s are heavily compressed to keep their size down, but most mp3s are listened to on phones & cheapo headphone/earbuds. Somewhere on You Tube, also compressed, there is a film of an experiment where the same music was played to the audience via dog's bo11ox sound system, from the master tapes, CDs, flacs and mp3s. Guess which won! As we age, out high frequency hearing deteriorates, I cannot hear above 11kHz, and blew a tweeter in my Paradigm speakers trying to get more top end. Just got to live with it. -

Last week, before she went, it was to promote Thai food in some obscure town. And to stop off in Monaco to negotiate the Thai Grand Prix next century. No mention of her kids. -

Report Tax-Free Wine Boom in Thailand Spurs Costs and Controversy
KannikaP replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Wow, you've really gone back on my posts, or have a great memory. I make my own vino from concentrated grape juice, red & white & apple, available online at about Bht 600 to make 10 litres. It needs about three months to clear and mature a bit, never had some longer than that. It is quite palatable for ME. -
