Yes, if thaksin's mob and their cronies continue to gain power...

And food at Changi airport is also very reasonably priced.

As above.

Brother in law (loud overbearing mid aged gatoey) tried this one even further before his sister and my son had their wedding. Gatoey went to every member of his / his sisters extended family ( mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces etc) and told them to add their details to a document he had prepared which he intended to give to the Aust. embassy in Bkk so all thee folks would start to get their monthly payment of 50,000Baht per month forever, all because his sister was marrying into a family with a farang in the picture. My son confiscated the document and insisted the gatoey go with my son to every person he had 'signed up' and tell them there is no such payment. Gatoey then contacted a lowlife lawyer, asking the lawyer to help him sue the Aust. embassy because the embassy was stealing their money. Lawyer refused and a few days later gave my son a letter with his signature, one copy to be handed to all on the gatoey's list saying there is no such payment.

Read the full report / watch the video, it's not as you and others portray.

I use 2 taxi apps often. the next day I get an e.mail asking me to give rating.

Yep, son married his uni sweetheart, lovely Thai lady. Her brother (who had much earlier become aware that son's father was a farang) caused a scene at the wedding insisting that son must give his new wife a BMW as part of his wedding gifts to new wife. Argument ensured, son at one point said 'I don't have the money to buy a BMW. His now brother in law responded with 'ask your father for more money, he's a farang he has unlimited money every month from Australian govern, same as all Australians.

Sure, so buy sandwiches drinks etc., at 7/11 and/or outside before you travel to the airport.

Just imagining 'I'm sending my drone to pick up some beer. I'ts all programmed for the address for the return flight. Call me when your ready for me to 'click' to start the return flight and give me the price and programmed QR code and I'll quickly do a KPlus scan payment. Thanks'

Get your own drone organized.

Not a disease. But trumps' comments, actions and attitudes are concerning. Musk's comments, activities and attitudes are also concerning.

Did you read all the details? It was more than just vaping.

Agree, perhaps better to not pursue refunds etc., just write if off. But I wonder if it might be worthwhile to write a letter to yourself, for the manager to sign and give to you, indicating that rental totally ended on xx/xx/xxxx and no further rental payment is due after that date.

Maybe delivery?

.... and/or safety vest failure. I can just hear the owner now "Yes 20% of the passengers had no life vests, but the seats for the other 80% are under repair so the life vests were in the storeroom on land, so it's all OK!

Just wondering who decides the content of these tablets and who produces that content and their qualifications?

Another similar but different example. I went into the Australian army, 2 years compulsory conscription, went to the war in Vietnam. Only child in the family. There was much criticism that neither the the Aust. gov't nor the miliary was making any contact with families at home. After I was in Vn for about 1 year my parents got a surprise visit from about 10 officers from a local part-time military unit. My dad answered the doorbell and there's this large military group at the door, all in uniform, many carrying huge bunches of flowers. Dad didn't know if they were local of whatever. He called mum. When mum spotted this mob she assumed I had been killed in Vn. Dad said 'what happened, they didn't speak, in fact they had no specific message. After some silence they left. Dad called numerous gov't / military offices but got no clear answers. Mum and dad wrote to me immediately but of course if took about 10 days for me to get their letter. I asked my CO if it was possible to make a quick welfare call to dad and I explained why. My CO at that time was a veteran and well experienced and a gentleman. He sat me down and stated to make calls re how to connect a phone call back to Australia. After several hours I had a booking for a multi connection call to Aust. I spoke to dad and mum. My CO also spoke to them quickly, he realized they would be very concerned about whether I was dead or alive and he made a serious apology and assured them I was alive and unhurt.

And many offer very tasty foods, transaction all done in 1 minute, walk away and eat.

Which is why my Thai son and his wife (with 4 kids) have family van and a small 3 door sedan, so they can take their kids to school and pick them up every day. They live 3 to 5 km from the 3 good bilingual schools involved. Luckily son's wife works from home and son has flexible work hrs.

Well there's good and bad people / types in every country. -

IIRC? Just remembered, if I remember correctly ??

This is a strange thread. The answer is case by case and according to the items purchased etc. In some cases hard to answer because husband bf and the wife gf pool a certain amount / all of their take home income and payment for meals comes from that pool.

?

Many western girls / women, all continents, have hairy legs. Just part of nature.

There's now no need for further information on this subject as per my original post. I'm lost as to why suddenly it as become bordering on toxic. As in posts just above I have thanked the members who shared facts and valuable information. Hoping this thread can be closed.
