  1. If you chose to live in Thailand then learn the Thai language.
  2. Trump is a very poor business man who is well known for failed businesses and filing bankruptcy.
  3. Wow, you pay 3,000 more than I do and my agent also does all my 90-day reports.
  4. There are so many people who choose to live in Thailand who enjoy making mountains out of molehills. More than thirty years ago when I still lived in the United States, I managed a very large food and drug store. The store was open 24 hours a day. Much of the restocking was done at night. However, there was still quite a bit that was done during the day. I never had any customer complaints about staff blocking aisles. In fact, customers could always easily find staff on the sales floor if they needed any help. There are many issues that are much more important to address. Relax, calm down and enjoy the time you have left in your life.
  5. No, PM Srettha, the two months of extreme air pollution throughout many regions of Thailand is what is causing huge damage to the country. The pollution seems to get worse and worse each year but the government does nothing to try and correct it. Srettha blamed it on neighboring countries when he was in Chiang Mai a few weeks ago just like he is now blaming neighboring countries for smuggling in marijuana.
  6. Aww - piss like a horse - those were the good old days.
  7. How can we miss you when you won't stay away! What do you call a man with no arms and legs in a swimming pool? Bob...
  8. The real danger to the country is the air pollution every spring that is getting worse and worse each year, but let's not talk about that - we don't want to upset the agri-business.
  9. The world-wide pandemic of Covid 19 came from the Chinese. Therefore I propose that all Chinese citizens in Thailand and all Thai people of Chinese descent in Thailand be forced to wear masks and a large badge in Chinese, Thai and English that says "Stay away, I am unclean".
  10. Women are in malls for one of two reasons - either they work there or they like to shop - the latter are to be avoided.
  11. From the looks of your photo, I seriously doubt it. In my opinion, Bob Smith has an exaggerated opinion of himself.
  12. Try to lick at least one square meter each day until carpet is clean. Pussycats have very good tongues for cleaning.
  13. I have lived in Thailand for more than 30 years. I also am able to speak Thai fairly well since I made an effort to learn the language because I wanted to live here long term. My best friends, both male and female, are all Thai. If you want to have a friend anywhere in the world, you have to first make an effort to be a friend. I know many non-Thai men and women, but would only consider about a half a dozen of them friends. They are simply acquaintances.
  14. Why are posters defending the two from New Zealand? They should face the maximum consequences for their foolish actions - maximum fines plus maximum jail time plus lifetime bans on ever entering Thailand again.
  15. Buriram is smaller and further south.
  16. Tax on wine is paid when the wine is brought into the country, not when it is sold in retail shops. When sold at retail outlets then VAT tax is added to the price. I noticed yesterday that some of the best selling wines where I shop were close to being completely sold out. The logical reason for this is that importers are trying to get rid of stock that they have imported and paid higher taxes on before they import more product at the lower tax rate. Those who expect immediate reductions in price are being foolish and have no business sense.
  17. Same for me. I've lived in Thailand for thirty-four years and have never had air-conditioning in any of my homes.
  18. The brother doesn't appear to be too concerned. He also looks old enough to have been able to help his sister during the alleged assault. Were his wrists bound as well?
  19. I will be 77 in a few months and I think it should remain legal. Perhaps I am still too young to be a "winging(?)' old man.
  20. Really? What are those studies? Name some of them, please.
  21. I have been doing my own laundry and ironing since I was ten years old. Any person who cannot take care of themself will never mature and grow to become a real man or woman. Life skills do not have a gender.
  22. Visit Kalm in the old city. Even if nothing catches your eye, it's a very interesting place to visit.
  23. Talk to Paul at Doi Saket Properties. I hired him and his very reliable and competent crew to build two homes in a family compound for me and my loved ones. I have been extremely satisfied with the work and the continued support provided.
  24. I sincerely hope you were not a teacher of English! "Conversate?" The verb you need is converse. In addition, of is a preposition and needs to be followed by an object - either a noun or a possessive pronoun. The noun needed in your sentence is importance. Important is not a noun, it is an adjective. The primary problems of English language teaching in Thailand are that Thai teachers rarely speak English to students and the foreigners hired to teach English are either non-native speakers or foreigners whose only qualification is that they are native speakers. Another issue is that language learning is taught from a grammar-based perspective with exams usually given as multiple choice questions in order to be easily marked by anyone.
