Lavish Lifestyle of UK Drug Lords Ends in Thailand Arrest
I think this is the first arrest I've seen in Thailand where the people arrested faces could been seen. Secondly if they were arrested in Thailand, why do the get the choice of where they'll go to jail? I guess he didn't watch enough Breaking Bad to realize you need to have what appears to be a Normal life.

Local Coffee aficionados :-)
I wish I could help. As a long haul truck driver for 40 years, coffee is my beverage of choice. Sadly though I've had such crap coffee through out the years that I think my taste bud ruined. So now If it tastes like coffee I'm happy good luck with your search.

Credit card fraud - Local grocery store
Does the UK credit card companies not have a system in place the you can either call them or go online when you're in the UK to tell them you will be in Thailand or wherever you go so they can put a travel notice on your card(s)? If they do and you did, I would find a card that's more customer friendly. I had to stop using my Canadian TD Trust Credit Card because they were the only card I have issues with in Thailand.

Trump got caught
As a Canadian I hope you're not implying that our health care is better than the USA or our educational system is better. Free health care is great until you need it. Don't get me started on what passes for a education these days. And I'm speaking for myself when I say that I'm pretty sure the majority of Canadians don't want to be the 51 US state, but I will say proudly that as a Canadian citizen I support President Trump and still do even if the Tariffs are put on. He's doing what every world leader should be doing and that is putting his countries interest 1st.

What's cheaper nowadays?
Which part do you get arrested for, buying condoms way to large for ya, or winking at the cashier? Sorry I couldn't help myself.

British Influencer's Buddha Tattoo Sparks Thai Cultural Debate - video
Forgive me for pointing out what I think is obvious. In a world (Thailand and other predominantly Buddhist countries) where it's totally acceptable to Bow low, even get on your face to worship an statue, (idolize the image.) but a tattoo of that person's image is unexceptable. It seem oddly backwards, I would've thought Buddhism would celebrate the promotional aspect.

Is there any help in Pattaya to seriously stop smoking?
Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did. It took serval years and many packs of smokes that got tossed in the bin, but the main take away was I didn't quit trying to quit. BTW I did the nicorette gum, the hypnosis and nothing worked. It boils down to how badly do you want to quit. As I said it was the hardest thing I've ever done but well worth it. And yes I am one of the ex-smokers that absolutely can't stand being around smokers. Best of luck.

Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
I'll just say that it's a smorgasbord of shenanigans that I get up to here and there. There is a ton of other people in my niche doing way better than my channel but I still enjoy doing it, trying to get better.

In Case You Missed it, the Tattoo Fad is Over
In the military I can understand, but I simply got tired of the money I spent on shaving and electric razor for me where a total waste. But to reach his own as I got to the age when people tell me I look like Santa or some character from Lord of the rings the movie I've never seen I just shrug and carry on with my day. But truthfully I get more 👍 then disapproving comments and besides if my wife don't mind what else matters.

It's a good thing I don't follow the herd. Clean shaven faces are conspiracy put out by the Gillette company. 🧔

Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
I'm actually added both those devices to the list of potential purchases. I'm really liking the reviews I watched on the OPPO, but my wife told me she had an Oppo that only lasted 1 year. That was a while ago so I'm hoping they've improved the quality. Thanks.

Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
I use My midrange Price Android to shoot all my YouTube content. Started with Huawei Mate 9 when they still had Google. Switched to RealMe X2 Pro which is what I using right this second. Wait a minute. Maybe that's why my channel sucks😂 no it's because others are doing way better content on my niche and I'm cursed with a monotone voice which even it's me to sleep. I'm really looking hard at the New Honor Magic 7 Pro but it's not a midrange blower it's considered a flagship.

Price of a cup coffee
I've used Agoda many times traveling around Thailand and Vietnam since 2017 without issues except for the very last booking I did in Thailand. What amazed about this hotel was that it was listed as an Agoda recommended property. It was a dump. I'm guessing Agoda doesn't send out reps to check properties out. Yes it was a 3 star hotel and the price was reasonable. But they need to update the photos because it certainly did represent what we saw. Staff was okay for the most part but this property has been so neglected over the years that it now just needs a Bulldozer.

To all you Trump fans - Do you wear your MAGA hats with pride in Thailand?
Funny you mentioned Lazada, I was dealing with them this am for a shop that canceled a order my wife made that they said would be delivered by Feb 5 th. Sited supply shortage. Why would they advertise something they don't have in stock. Then for the 3 other items the same shop sent a message today saying they're on there way from China and we will receive on the 7th of Feb. Today is the 9th I guess we have to wait a year. 😂

Getting sick of religion and cults
Many including myself didn't believe it until I was an adult. The thing is no one will believe it until GOD himself removes the blinders from ones eyes which is done through the Holy Spirit. I could talk to people all Day about what GOD had done in my life and they could still walk away as unbelievers. But when GOD gets your attention, you will know it and No One can convince the believing Christian otherwise. Does that make us perfect? No just forgiven. My prayer for anyone reading this is that you will recognize God and surrender when he comes knocking on the door of your heart (Revelation 3:20) before your air gets turned off because after that, it's too late, and the "religious" Catholics thinking the prayers for the dead help are dead wrong. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement. (Hebrews 9:27) Please don't take My word for it Read a Bible. May I suggest reading the Book of John until you fully understand who Jesus Christ is and then read the Book of Romans. Now the hate will be thrown my way and I get that but remember on judgement day you will not be able to say that you didn't know. I've been coming to Thailand since 2017 every winter to escape the Canadian winters except for 22 months during the pandemic and I recently heard a young man claim out loud to anyone that could hear him, "You are really far from God when you're in Thailand." He was laughing when he said it I suspect most likely because of the shenanigans he was up to. I pondered that statement and he's not wrong.

Some british <deleted> wanted to fight me earlyish this morning
Going by the original text the author wrote "I was trying to explain to the pharmacy lady" As I re-read it I realized my error, so she might be working for the pharmacist as cashier but he did say lady.

Worst or lowest part of your life ?
He's probably referencing the Steven Wright bit where he said he was recently re-reading his Diary, day one. Slept all day, tired from the move. At least I hope he's not depressed over being born.

My Laptop going crazy.
When you are done working on your laptop do you shut it down completely or just put it to sleep mode? I ask because we were having issues with our work laptop and my employer told us just put it to sleep instead of re-booting everyday. It's been working fine and that's what I've been doing with mine since then. I only restart it when it's downloaded updates.

Ownwership of condo, family member involved.
Doesn't matter your age and I have zero idea how to respond to you situation except to say, get a will ASAP. People of ALL ages Die unexpectedly everyday. How many times have you read or heard these words. "He/She left us way to early." Good luck with your situation. It's would be sad that you and your wife paid for everything and you could potentially lose it.
