  1. I recently got approached by an American man who was wearing some very strange clothing and sticking out like a sore thumb, inside Terminal 21 in Bangkok who asked me for money. He mentioned he used to be a teacher in Thailand, so I am guessing he is still staying there on that visa but now begging as he has no income.
  2. Ain't nobody got time for that!
  3. She would have needed a full UK Motorcycle Driving License to drive any scooter or motorbike regardless of engine size. The CBT license is not covered on the International Driving Permit, if she had one of those.
  4. I flew into/out of DMK domestic and thought it was great. Took the MRT and Red Line there. No queuing as security and pretty much straight through. It has a 7-11 past security with only slightly higher than normal 7-11 prices, but still much cheaper than shops in any other Thai airport I have been to. It also had a purse/bag shop with unique designs of a good quality and reasonable prices, where I bought a few gifts. A lot of the jet bridges seemed empty with no aircraft, but perhaps it reaches capacity at certain times of the day? Took a taxi from the airport back to the apartment coming back, and had a odd short wait and the waiting area and process could be improved.
  5. I had a damaged wheel on my luggage during a trip to Thailand and tried several local places that advertised "Bag Repair", but they were unable to repair damaged wheels on Luggage. I think they are more handbag repair places, rather than full sized luggage. In the end I went into Mr DIY and bought some wheels in there that I do not believe were made for luggage, but fortunately matched exactly with the holes on my luggage, along with some screws and bolts, a small screwdriver and pair of pliers and repaired them myself. After another trip to Thailand since then the wheels are still good and holding, and much cheaper than buying new luggage. They seemed to have a whole section of loose swivel wheels on metal bases of different sizes, along with some pre-packaged sets, so perhaps worth checking if the existing wheels can easily be removed from inside and then a trip to Mr DIY (Stores all over Bangkok can be found on Google Maps) and then making some new holes in your existing case to make the new ones fit, if they need four holes like the ones I got.
  6. No. It is Thai English. That means you understood what was meant, but decided to anally post this commenting about the grammar used, rather than make any meaningful comment about what the article was actually about. Well done! You have added another "useful post" to your forum post count!
