  1. How is this news, l buy lottery tickets every two weeks and have been doing so for many years.
  2. Got my glass from here, don’t know address but l am sure you can find on line or give them a call
  3. Maybe have stop over in Bangkok and get one there?
  4. The Thai tax on import goods is to much more, now maybe they will reconsider such taxes, but probably not.
  5. I wonder if they are “real British citizens” or those that have recently obtained British citizenship.
  6. What is his current visa?
  7. Can teach your kids all you like about not taking drugs ect, at the end of the day you can only hope they listen and not cave in to temptation. This could have and does happen everywhere in the world.
  8. It will never change
  9. I believe the article mentions he was insured but it would not cover all cost n
  10. Contact Wise directly confirm all details and then contact your Australian bank directly. A few months ago Wise did change things around a bit but these changes actually made the process times faster, but they did not involve changing account numbers. Wise has international numbers you can also call them on, you can find the number within the app. If the Australian bank is saying fraud it probably is.

    As already mentioned this is a Thailand wide problem but probably bigger in Issan. I too have experienced the impact on extended family due to this drug and also alcohol in general, you could also throw gambling into the mix. To a degree at least in “my area” l believe poor education, lack of employment opportunities, peer group pressure and a limited understanding of personal accountability all contribute to the problem. However in fairness illegal drugs are a world wide problem, the main difference l see from Western Countries versus Thailand is the possible lack of support services. My wife and l refuse to financially help any family members who take drugs, drink or gamble, we are lucky such issues only impact extended family members.
  12. You can buy a house in Australia for $1.2M AUD, but would need to be out in the Western Suburbs, l guess she did not wish to be that far 30-40 kilometres from the Northern suburbs where a lot of snobs live, with 1.2M you can easily get a housing loan too, me thinks there is more to this story.

  16. Hi all, l am looking for somewhere to buy Western style sausages in Udon Thani, l know there are a few places around where you can buy sausages in vacuum sealed packs however l am hoping to find somewhere to buy a few kilograms at a time, instead of the 4-5 in a pack, any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.
  17. Yes but unfortunately the exchange rates are very poor
  18. My Wife, Daughter a myself are heading to Bangkok from Udon Thani during the next School holidays around mid September, we are looking for a good tour guide to take us around family friendly tourist locations. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good tour guide with a Van? Thanks in advance
  19. I have found immigration to be good overall, generally friendly although they can at times be very busy.
  20. I can’t see thing being a win for most Thais
  21. Have you turned off all power to the house and then checked the meter
  22. Absolutely not, however we all know or should know, how to respond to situations in a polite manner.Then again maybe some of us do not.
  23. You hit the nail on the head, this is Thailand and it’s Thai behaviour, if you don’t like it or it upsets you move on, there is no need to carry on.
