Is it me or my connection?
I can't check right now since I am in Bangkok but the Australian government in the past restricted web sites by refusing DNS requests. To get around the restrictions you only had to change your DNS server from your local ISP to one of the public international ones. By the way, Pornhub were not restricted in Australia but they decided to no longer provide a service to Australia because of the new age restriction laws.

Is a Wife Who Does Not Work a Bad Thing?
I think you answered your question with "convenience and familiarity". Many men would be better off financially but possibly don't have the will power to go through with a seperation.

Thai girl was totally shameless
You just described 30% of Thai women. If you don't like the one you have then move on and find another, perhaps one who is not so honest.

MRT to Scrap Old MRT Cards and Tokens
Did your bank charge a foreign transaction fee and if it did was it significant?

Still don’t think they’re following you, Bunky?
That's ok as long as where you go accepts cash. We went to a large franchised BBQ restaurant in Bangkok the other day and found they no longer accept cash. Their only options were either a bank transfer with your phone or a credit/debit card. I think this is the start of a trend where over time fewer places will accept cash. Even street food vendors do Q-codes now.

Chinese Tourist Robbed by Three Ladyboys in Pattaya Hotel Incident
I suppose some guys decide not to pay when they discover the girl they took back to their room was a fake. Most ladyboys are very obviously one, but I have seen a few who could easily deceive a guy after he had a few beers.

Pattaya Beach Scandal: Tourists Filmed in an Inappropriate Act
If concerned Thai citizens are so worried about Pattaya's family image then why are they putting these videos online? Obviously this is free publicity of the sort they would not want. At 4am one perverted fisherman saw them. After he posted the video who knows how many thousands now know about this.

British Woman Seeks Information on Missing Brother in Bangkok
I have been in Thailand this trip for more than 6 weeks without contacting family back home, but my ex-wife and kids have not tried to find me yet. Sometimes I wonder if they truly care for me.

Masseuse Ordered to Pay €1,000 in Berlin Sexual Assault
Ben would not have a snowflake's chance in hell if he came to thailand. Poor guy would never get out from under the shower. Anyway, enough internet. Time to meet my teerak in Soi 23 so she can massage my b@11s.

Samsung S21 FE 5G white line on screen fault
I bought a couple of 24" Samsung monitors for my desktop computer about 15 years ago and within a week one of them developed these faint white lines across the bottom of the screen. Initially there were only 8 of them but gradually they multiplied till now there are 32. They grew by powers of 2 so probably something wrong with one of the driver chips. They start off fairly prominently on the right side of the screen and gradually fade to invisible on the left side. I contacted Samsung and since the monitor was under warranty they said they would replace it if I sent it by mail to their office in another city. I would be without monitor for about a month so I decided to live with the fault and 15 years later it is still there. It is somewhat annoying but not to the extent of me bothering to get it replaced. The other monitor which is exactly the same model and age never showed the problem.

Ridiculous things you buy on Lazada and Shopee
My wife bought one of those vacuum robot pieces of junk. Only worked for about 5 minutes before the battery ran out and it hardly picked up anything from the floor, not even worth recharging. It is faster, easier and cheaper to just use a broom every morning. The robot ended up in the recycle for someone else to have a go struggling with.

Thai Court to Try Australian Journalist in Malaysia Case
I think this is due to the internet. Before online forums it was hard to express one's opinion in public. The best you could do was a soapbox on a street corner or a letter to the editor. The Powers-in-Charge were not too concerned, however, since the internet arrived and people can voice their opinion to millions then that has become a big problem for the people that want to maintain control.

British Man Jailed for Cannabis Import from Thailand
Definition of "Mandatory".... In law, "mandatory" means required by law or rule; it is not optional. What's the point of mandatory sentences if a judge can overrule them?

Andrew ‘had 40 prostitutes brought to Bangkok hotel’
Only 40? Meh, just a beginner who needs more practice. A friend of mine had well over 30 during a 2 week holiday and he is not even a wealthy prince.
