  1. Exactly, seems like it would make business sense to translate those offers into English but I guess not or they would. It is interesting to advertise how expat friendly they are and then not really even try.
  2. But they can't hire a single human translator to work on making the app expat friendlier. Oh, well, they don't have to if they think it doesn't make business sense.
  3. On behalf of all the true pedophiles out there and to play the devil's advocate, having sex with a post-pubescent person does not meet the definiion of pedophilia. That does not mean it is not morally wrong, depending on the ages of the people involved, of course. And stautory rape is not the same as rape. That does not mean it is not morally wrong, depending on the ages of the people involved, of course.
  4. Men just feel a sexual freedom when it comes to delusional women and that makes the MAGA women seem hotter.
  5. Yes, there have been many times when I was waiting for a bus, waved my hand, and the driver drove past, either because it was slightly inconvenient for him to stop because he was not in the far left lane or because he had no intention of stopping at a bus stop that is rarely used. And a bitch about those Thai Smile buses, they have the most uncomfortable seats and annoying design of any modern bus I have been on. The old yellow/orange AC buses, from Japan I think, are luxurious by comparison.
  6. It's best not to go down that rabbit hole!
  7. I can't wrap my head around the psychological contortions required to make this whole tarriff debacle into a Trump triumph.
  8. I am always amused when I go to a restaurant alone in Thailand and the server confirms that I just want one of whatever I ordered, even if it is a buffet. I am not sure why they do that, although it must translate into something they do in Thai according to Thai customs. I have asked in Thai why they ask me if I want only one but no one has understood what I am asking or why I am asking it. Realistically my Thai is not good enough to explain.
  9. There is just no way they can make the 20 baht fare on the BTS work. Yes, maybe on the the other lines, but not the privately operated BTS. Far too expensive. It doesn't matter how many times they announce it, it ain't going to happen!
  10. They called me in the late afternoon although I had a morning appointment. No apology but the interviewer was friendly and helpful and my social security application was properly processed although the wheels moved slowly.
  11. Siam Pharmacy is the cheapest I have found. I was actually checking around today. They have everything but Wegovy. However, it may be worth the additional 1000-3,000 baht per month to be taking it under the care of a doctor, if the doctor actually has an interest in patient care.
  12. A Kindle, Z-library, Library Genesis, Anna's Archive and Calibre for Mobi conversion are all the tools you need. (And an ability to ignore the moral issues involved, of course...)
  13. What about Clinton's private email server?
  14. As far as I know you can go to any Land Trasportation Office to renew your license. I am on my 4th 5 year license and each time I have had to cherry pick the office I go to because I can't pass the peripheral color test at the testing centers using the machines you put your chin in. Any other method works for me though. So I have found the offices using the colored paddles they hold to the side or naming colors on a chart. However, I have always used my work permit with my Bangkok address and not a certificate of residency. Maybe that makes a difference or they have changed the policy of using any office.
  15. Can anyone tell me best bus company to get to Ban Phe from Bangkok? I see there are several companies making the trip from Ekamie bus terminal. I don't need a combination bus/ferry ticket to Koh Samet as I am staying close to Ban Phe. Is there a very nice VIP bus? Thanks.
