  1. I agree. Imagine having to bend the rules so you can put YOUR money into a bank that can then make life difficult for you, or even keep your money, because you "broke the rules". Not worth the risk. I have never bothered getting a bank account in Thailand although my wife does have one into which I remit funds from overseas. I don't have the urgent need to use QR codes or even my credit card. I just use cash for everything, my wife pays our utilities from her account and I pay the monthly rent using Wise for direct transfers from my overseas account to the landlord. Who needs a bank?
  2. My Thai wife will often walk just behind me in public and put her hand on my shoulder to keep close especially in crowded areas. She will never hold hands while walking because it seems to be a taboo for her. At home we are touching almost all the time. When we sit on the sofa watching TV or playing around on our phones she will always drape her legs over my lap and snuggle close. I like her doing that.
  3. They had to use a zoom lens to get the photos. Outrageous!
  4. He forgot to take his morning Jai Yen Yen pill
  5. I have not seen a "Pointing" photo for ages.
  6. I always thought it is a variation of "I love you" when my wife says it to me. 😆
  7. The USA has become an unreliable "ally" under Trump. The supposed "kill switch" on US military equipment also makes them much less desirable and unreliable if the USA decides Thailand is not its friend in future.
  8. I use a slightly older version of Office which was a purchase and not a subscription. Works perfectly for me.
  9. It is time to investigate what other projects this Chinese company sold rebar to and check the quality of those builds. Hopefully there are no other high rise buildings constructed using their rebar.
  10. That is my wife's favourite TV program. She watches it every day.
  11. A bullet to the head is the correct future for that mongrel.
  12. We live in one of the high rise buildings seen on the news with their rooftop pools being emptied over the sides. We were told by the agent that we can either move out and lose our deposit of 2 months rent, or accept a decrease in monthly rent and stay on. After the initial panic and wanting to immediately move out, my Thai wife realised it will be really hard work to pack up, find a new place and make the move. So we will stay on and negotiate a lower rent. Laziness and saving money wins out over perceived personal safety.
  13. The list is not even in any order, alphabetic or by tariff value, just like Trumps brain... random.
  14. Perhaps they lost their....
  15. I hate to say this but I agree with you. China does seem to be the lessor of two evils for the moment.
  16. Those bridges seem to be relatively lightweight add-on construction, not reinforced concrete or part of the main structure. I suspect they would be fairly easy to repair and not an indication of the integrity of the rest of the buildings.
  17. Rally? Do you think China can be trusted?
  18. We don't all want to live in a village in the back of Nakhon Nowhere.
  19. So my wife has to reduce from 16 hours a day to 12 perhaps?
  20. They did not get a 10 year sentence. He got 8 and she got 2. Adding up the sentences of two people is misleading.
  21. The bridges between the towers should be on rollers similar to what they do with large bridges over rivers to allow for expansion.
