Both fast and easy (3BB fiber).

 

What's the effect at your site?

Timeout? Endless hourglass?

Error message?

 

it just has the loading cricle nonstop until timed out. If I connect to a VPN   I can load BBC easy and other UK sites  But not without VPN 

not iplayer... just bbc.co.uk or bbc.com  cannot connect unless use VPN

Cannot connect to some sites in UK  in particular BBC unless I use a VPN  . anyone  else having this issue?

Are you going by the US definition of the dried fruit or the real world's definition?

Cannot return after opening item packet . And have to open to see, whatever the name on the package says.

Because Thais stand up for each other no matter what. Of course that come as a shock for us Westerners, in our countries you could die on the pavement and people would step over you and pretend you don't exist.

Nonsense! That's two different situations .Thais have the it's 'none of my business" when someone is in distress. Don't know what place you come from. ...Cambodia ?

If you know that about yourself you will pay up when asked I'm sure . Don't worry. Even if I was sure I had not eaten 50 baht of food I would  pay anyway because know how poor these vendors are, how hard they work and how difficult the last two  years have  been. I would err on the side of mercy, be gracious and give her a tip. This farang didn't want to lose  face BUT you  gain  face by yielding in Thailand.

UtterBS

Just remember Thais will get involved beating up on a falang in a 1-1   even if they don't know what the issue is.of course in a group.  1-1 ..nah cowards to the core 

Customs the biggest racket in whole of Thailand. And there's a lot of competition

A train of drivers who do not stop to allow a women with baby to continue crossing a road are selfish in any culture. And this face business only makes the problem worse : The concept of not embarrassing someone has been hi jacked by reckless selfish Thai drivers allowing them to continue being selfish and reckless without being held accountable.

Exactly. amazing how the non Thais lecture folk to accept it as its  "part of the culture". Especially if they dont even belong to that said culture.

Your in a different culture. What you think as selfish is no so here.

 

Pushing your way in may mean you are weak and others have to wait for you. You lose face by not showing restraint.

 

Your at a restaurant and expected to pay. Are the other diners selfish or are they doing you a favor, or do they lose face by leaving and you gain face by paying?

selfish is selfish  dress it up anyway you want.  add to irresponsible and stupid    yeah a different cuture

I find the title to this thread arrogant  and judgemental. Is the OP suggesting he is superior to the locals? Nobody  asked the OP to come and live here. If he doesn't like it here he should leave. Nobody likes whingers. I bet the OP can't afford  a truck  and doesn't have a family to  take to the beach. Never in thirty years here has it occurred to me top be outraged at parking! To actually write about it as a valid  complaint labelling men and a women as being selfish and useless might be considered a form of arrogance bordering mental illness.

Superior to locals by pointing out illegal parking on a footpath, and called the perpetrators selfish and the police who are yards away useless , and you call me arrogant ? Many Thais I know think Thai drivers are 'selfish ' and police are 'useless'  You're the one with a mental illness

So are we not allowed an opinion ???.....    When I have discussions with my Thai friends there is an incredible amount of common ground on many of the issues we discuss on this forum. 

 

Thai’s have very much the same opinions and complaints we have....    

Difference is Thais have given up, or never even believe they can change anything

I'm boggled, as I thought I was offering constructive advice ie "if you don't like it you know where the exit is", but reading the same complaints for 14 years is quite boring so I'll make your wish come true.

Bye.

Title of  posting thread could have been made for you

Those using wheelchairs and baby push chairs are virtually invisible in Pattaya, so I fail to understand your point.

I never saw a Thai pushing a baby buggy unless they were with a farang husband. It's just not a Thai thing. As for wheelchairs, disabled Thais understand that Thai roads are not for them.

Sums up a farang beach ***  ejected and now a tirade of BS.

I'm sure that Thais are aware of all that, but if they CHOOSE not to do anything about it, it's not up to us aliens to demand they change.

If any farang is not prepared to accept LOS as it is, they know where the exit is.

We know your reaction in these dangerous matters. You can exit if nothing constructive to say

But it's the price I'm willing to pay to be FREE of BS rules that has ruined other countries.

 

 

 

 

These 'BS rules" enforced in other countries are keeping accident and death rates down .. just remember Thailand has the 2nd worst death from troad accidents per 100,000 people in the world ..25-30,000 dead at scene of accident every year 

Some interesting comments .some I expected . The farang brigade who trot out the same ' go to Singapore or your own country'  if you don't like "selfish and dangerous " behaviour and then those who understand that rules are generally there for a purpose. I dont expect anything to change in the mindset of the indigenous population . A country where me first is as prevalent as anywhere else and even more so because enforcement and punishment is practically zero .

This demonstrates how the Thai police are so much better than their western counterparts in so many ways. Entitled  bullies in France, the USA and other places are too heavy  handed.

Haha. The Thai apologist .  Imagine thinking Thai police are heavy handed dealing with dangerous illegal acts.. you fantasist

How pathetic the police are dealing with boy racers.  Take the ***** bikes from them
