Hold on Mayanmar. Is pretty lively too. Can even get cholera to go with the bullet dodging. Realistically you need some sort of degree from your home country. You need the TEFL course. You will need the right visa and other documentation. No criminal record. You will have to start at the bottom and work up if no teaching experience. It's hard work and not easy for someone at pensionable age. It's not exciting and you're always carrying a cold. I found it tough trying to get through to 32, 5 and 6 year Olds of varying standards. Good luck if you are serious. You need to be.

Liz Truss was so much worse, and Boris Johnson too. If it hadn't been for these two, he wouldn't have got in in the first place. Sunak left to mop up the mess caused by them was an impossible task. Farage and his mates didn't help by taking a large amount of conservative votes. Personally I don't like him but some of the alternatives are scary from both parties.

Been good with the things I have ordered always on time. Never had to return anything yet though, but you can click on the page to access a return form. Had issues in the past with Shopee and Lazada, a major one right now with lazada, awful customer service. Hopefully Temu returns will be easier if needed.

Lazada is full of scams and their customer service is nothing short of appalling. I am going through it myself at the moment and will put up a post myself soon.

There are many mixed sex volleyball teams around or were in my competitive days playing. I actually played in 2. Women seemed to be better in some areas of the sport, but not in spiking or blocking due to their height generally. However if teams are of one sex, then that is what they should be. Women against women and men against men. That has to be the case in all sports.

Not really spending any less on a daily basis. Needed a new car and gifted the money to my wife who purchased it in her name. Paid for the families Healthcare insurance on my UK credit card, not mine though as I believe that is tax deductible. Gifted my daughter the money for her expensive dental brace. When she hopefully goes to university I will gift her her accomodation fees and course fees if they are not tax deductible. I have a military pension as well as the UK state pension. I read somewhere that military pensions in Thailand are not taxable, don't know if that's true or not. Went to our local tax office about getting g a TIN no. and they didn't think I'd have to pay tax. They would give me a number if I wanted one, but suggested I wait and see what happens with immigration. Anyone renewed their visa extension recently?

The child murderer is out on bail now. I'm told it was 10,000 bht. As has been said if his father is in the military it will be brushed under the table and forgotten about. It would appear that is the case. Sad and so very wrong, there has to be serious consequences for what appears to be a premeditated crime.

I am in the process of buying a Honda WRV. Have paid a deposit but could walk away if you are selling at the right price. Paying 650,000 bht and collecting this week. Where are you and milage etc. It will be the wife's car so she will have the final decision.

No one can make Liz Truss look competent and Boris Johnson is a liar and a crook. Sunak took the fall for all that. I don't see either party looking competent to be honest.

I had the too. Not really looked at them thoroughly. Pissed me off though over the weekend. Time to change banks perhaps or maybe Kasikorn are just the first to do it.

A few years ago our bar in Bangkok was offered bootleg spirits. We always refused but many didn't. Spirits in bars everywhere in this part of the world may be fake, you have no idea what could be in there. Drink beer that you open yourself, no money to be made in faking beer. Last month myself and the family were in Vang Vieng, Luang Prabang and Vientiane. Lovely place but corruption exists and bars can make a big profit with mixers and fake spirits. So sad for the girls who just were there for the thrills in Laos and had a drink laced with poison. Beware it could happen anywhere in this part of the world. It would be nice if those responsible were severely punished. Lives taken away from them before they barely got going. RIP.

Obviously this guy was being a dick and should be prosecuted. However I have moved over several times recently for vehicles with flashing colored lights to find out it's not an emergency vehicle at all. I would like to these prosecuted also.

That must have smelt nice.

There are better beaches and good affordable food elsewhere, not worried about the nightlife. Been twice to Phuket . Overcrowded, overpriced and overrated.
