I just saw the girl I’m dating working on pattaya beach road
Well, she didn't tell a lie. She said she had a 'regular' job. Reminds me of when I first came to Bangkok. A girl I quite liked said, "I can have another man coz it's my job, but you can't have another girl coz it's just for fun!"

The New F1 season 2026/27. 🏁🏎
Not a bad first race of the season. Great battle early on between Mercedes & Ferrari. Hoping that McLaren & Red Bull can improve & make it more competitive & other circuits will bring different challenges. The power boost is so much better & fairer than the old DRS. 👍

And I don't mean that I'm scuzzy! 🤷

Scuzzy ... that's a new word for me.

The Winter Olympics 6-22 February 2026
Beautiful scenery. Some interesting sports. My family back home seemed more interested in curling because of medal hopes for GB. Curling wasn't one of my favourite sports though. Good Olympics. 👍

Who do you support?
Huge fan of The Gunners back in the 70s & 80s. Season ticket holder for most of that time. Not such a big fan these days, but still enjoy watching footie. Often highlights from PL & EFL.

Kasikorn Bank Account
No idea if it would be accepted, but the NI no card has your full name and an address on it. You could even tell the bank that it's your tax ID no.

Kasikorn Bank Account
Well, I do still have my old UK paper driver's license which doesn't expire for another 10 years or so. However, ridiculous requirement if I actually needed to show it.

Kasikorn Bank Account
Hopefully the need to show a home address is just for people wanting to open a new account, and not for people who already have an account and have been living in Thailand for many years.

New PL season 2025/26 predictions. ⚽️
Mr Average 5/9 again for me. Had Seagulls to beat Eagles 1 - 0 & Pool to draw with City. Oh well, City winning is good for the title race. This week could be interesting. City home to Fulham while the Gunners have possibly a tough match at the Bees.

New PL season 2025/26 predictions. ⚽️
Average yet again. 5/9 & no correct scores. Last minute equalizer for Everton really spoiled it for me. Boring Gunners lucky City haven't taken advantage. Liverpool vs City will be interesting. Championship: Blackburn & WBA in danger of relegation.

Facebook problem
I just looked at the Facebook account, Yrita Samak. That person has several videos. Many others have had similar problems and they have tried reporting it to Facebook. Doesn't sound like many have had luck regards a positive outcome.

Four Parties Outline Tax Reforms to Expand Thailand’s Tax Base
Democrat Party considering raising the minimum tax income to 300,000 baht. Would be good, but they won't win.

When did this forum in its original guise start ??
Just did a little research. The first post about visas was made in Dec 2002. I just read that the original forum was started by a certain George Anderssen.

Amazing what a new manager can sometimes do. Amorim was too stubborn. Utd looking much better now. Great win for the Canaries. They're flying atm.

Post (letter) not arriving from UK
Making copies for future use certainly makes sense.

Post (letter) not arriving from UK
True. They should send out the form online first. If they haven't had a reply in say 2 weeks then send out a hard-copy. Give people the option.

Post (letter) not arriving from UK
In this day and age should be sent online. Ridiculous by post.

UK Soap Operas ... Why Thailand?
I admit I do try to keep up with the UK Soap Operas on YouTube. Every now & then one of the soap characters says they are moving abroad. 90% of the time it's Thailand. Then it's usually Spain, Bali or Australia. Just recently one young woman said to her boyfriend, "let's go to Thailand. I have a friend there. Don't worry too much about work or visas. We'll sort something out!"
