Thailand's Digital Card Chaos: Say Goodbye to TM6, Hello to Confusion!
garygooner replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It doesn't look like much of a concern to me, but it would be good if people had the option of filling out a card if they prefer or require that method. What would concern me is having to pay a fee online and your cards were not accepted. -
You have a good memory. Mine's not bad too when it comes to football. I remember going to a division 4 match in the late 70s. Colchester vs Gillingham. The Gills were battling for promotion. I stood on the wooden terracing at Layer Road with my dad and a few mates.

I've heard people saying they've experienced it before on high floors in Bangkok, but today was the first time for me. (low floor) Building swaying for about 3 minutes & the pool water overflowing. 7.3 magnitude & epi-center in Myanmar. 😬

I started going to football in 1973. My dad was born and raised in Islington. He took me to Highbury to see Arsenal beat Sheff Utd 3 - 2. Alan Ball (2) & Charlie George were the scorers. He took me once a year until I was able to travel up from Kent on my own. I was a terrace season ticket holder throughout the 80s and stood on the North Bank. There are 3 'old' London stadiums I've never been to. Wimbledon, Millwall & Leyton Orient.

Supermarket early morning, and then stay home until I have to visit the local market in the evening. My Songkran splashing days are well and truly over.

Leaving your wallet and an ID card behind. Interesting. -

I honestly don't know. Are Tik Tok & Mots actually bigger & busier than say Maneerat? -

AI will cause more harm than good. -
Yeah, that chocolate is decent. Tried it a number of times.

I realize Palace are playing away. The final 8 sides, I've actually not been to 2 of them. I've not been to City or Forest. However, I saw Arsenal play at Notts County twice in the 80s.
-
Difficult to call for sure, except PNE. We have 3 different outcomes. Interesting. I've been to all 4 home grounds. My relatives live in Bournemouth so watched a game in the 80s while staying there on a family visit. Seagulls was The Goldstone Ground however. Saw Arsenal a few times at Palace. You're right, good to have some proper football back this weekend. ⚽️👍

FA Cup QF's are approaching. 🏆 I'm predicting Fulham, Forest, Villa & City to reach the semis. But, I'm really hoping The Cherries can do it. 🍒

Well, I'm going to try to stick with the F1 for now, but yesterday's race was disappointing. Very little overtaking and basically follow the leader. Onto Japan in 2 weeks time.
-
Ready for F1 raceday no 2 from China. The good thing about this season could be there are a number of possible winners. 🏁
-
Anyone out there interested in F1? I'm gonna try & watch as much as possible this season. I watched the opener in Australia & I'll be watching this weekend's in China. I used to be someone who watched the first 5 laps & the final 2, (flicking back & forth occasionally in between) but I'm gonna try harder this season. Trying to get a bit more enthusiasm. 🏁

I guess you asked them for something in writing, but they said no. Try not to worry so much. You owe no tax in Thailand due to allowances/deductions right?
-
That's interesting. Has anyone been successful that you know? Possibly the money came from working in Thailand with a business visa & WP.
-
Guessing you must live in a house in Roi Et & not on a high floor in a condo. That's a relief.

Haven't read all the posts so don't know if it's been mentioned, but Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a great movie. An overweight person who can't stop talking and then removes his socks and starts waving them around while the guy sitting on the other side has his head on your shoulder. Enjoy the flight.

Good update, but might as well go for the 100 gm bars at 219 baht. I noticed yesterday in Villa that the dark chocolate digestive biscuits have also increased yet again. Not long ago rose from 79 to 89 baht ... now 99 baht. Oh dear.
-
The 219 baht price is at Villa. Just noticed 85% is still 189 baht at BIG C. (for now) Might have to continue with Lindt as it does taste really good.

Police Raid Soi Nana, Arrest Foreign Women for Suspected Prostitution

Nana ... never!! -
It's been referred to as a giant circus tent & even a huge mosque on X.

Used to buy Lindt dark chocolate around 80% cocoa. However, the price has risen about 70% in just a few years. Now it's 219 baht for a 100g bar. (It's £3 back in the UK) What's your go to dark chocolate? 🍫

I have platinum package with True. I still have Bein Sports ch 607. I'll be able to watch practice, qualifying & races. Talk with True about how to watch F1 or go for your plan B.
