  1. Thanks the above comment is useful. Cheers
  2. Hi, our Krups Dolce Gusto machine broke after a couple of years of solid use. Want to buy a new machine. But also want option for Nespresso capsules. There are quite a few machines that can now take both types - eg, Duchess and Oggi. Anyone has any recommendations for which ones might be best for here in Bangkok? Cheers
  3. Let me tell you.... A true story..... (I have lived and worked in Thailand for about 30 years.) I was married to a 'good' Thai girl in the early 1990s a couple of years after starting work in BKK. From a well-off family, she was a trained lawyer and got a job in the city (Bangkok). We have wonderful children - but our marriage was a nightmare. After 12 years of living together (9 as married) we divorced 17 years ago. Three years after the divorce (around 2009) I married a bar girl. From Pattaya. Everyone told me not to. But my marriage to my 'bargirl' wife is great. We are going strong, she helps continuously with my work and around the house and with looking after everything. We have two wonderful kids and enjoy our time together tremendously. Yes, we have ups and downs - but I wouldn't change her for anyone else. So what's the answer to your question? Well, for me, it's clear.

  5. This guy is a legend. Helped me and so many others. Will be missed greatly. RIP, Ubon Joe.
  6. RIP to both. Tragic. Thailand should hang its head in shame. This continues day after day after day. The government is unable/unwilling to do anything about it. And people here continue to drive with no consideration for anyone other than themselves. Respect for others. Why is that so difficult on Thailand's roads?
  7. Great that, despite Thailand's shortcomings, we live in a place that allows and encourages people to make their own choices and 'live a little' if they want to. For some, this means having a beer at 8:30am. Good on yer.
  8. Mate, join the club. Been here more than 20 years. I have zero Thai male friends.
  9. What a strange question. Of course they are not. No where on earth can contain the next variants. And you could argue that you should never try to contain a new variant. The history of disease shows that variants gradually become less pathogenic. Containment means no natural immunity.
