Have they never seen a (generally younger) Thai with dyed hair? Obviously not...

No comment about the driving... However Will this be like the same crime committed by a foreigner 2 weeks ago - who turned out to be Thai? 555 How can you tell the status of the car , or the passengers in the car from that distance? With the tinted windows on cars here, I can't tell who is in the car next to me!

Good job by RTP to catch him so promptly. 31 stab wounds - what a psycho!

“Sea Monkeys” are Brine shrimp (Artemis sp). You bought the desiccated eggs, added them to your salt water, and after 24 hours they would hatch. After 2 weeks, if aerated and fed correctly, they would become adults. They are still very popular in the fish hobby (as food).

Hi. This might help - although my preliminary check came up blank... https://www.webmd.com/pill-identification/search-results?imprint1=&imprint2=&color=2&shape=5

yes - changing the subject a bit - but I have some bread in the fridge I bought 5 weeks ago - still soft enough to eat must be a Thai thing!

Yes - most of the NSW beer is rubbish (spoken like a true Victorian). XXXX is guaranteed to give you a headache, or maybe permanent brain damage... VB is an acquired taste. But - never acquired by me.. Some swear by it, others swear at it

My favourite drop changed fairly frequently , but I always seemed to return to good old Carlton Draught - from the tinnies, not the stubbies. Carlton Cold was okay... I don't know much about WA beers - other than Swan Dry (that was very popular about 40 years ago!! after we won the Americas' Cup).

My local shop sells me Singha @ 680 baht/box. As it is not a big seller around here, she does not keep a lot in stock , so she doesn't have vast pallets of beer (like Chang) sitting in the sun for weeks on end , slowly stewing... As an Aussie I can tell you that heat and sun are the biggest killers of beer. Beer goes 'foxy' very quickly if not stored properly. There are several bars in our town that we will not go to, because their beer always tastes off.

Build a bridge baby!

Oh My Buddha Richard. Normally I find your posts reasonably measured and balanced... It is not a bash. It is my own experience and observations. RUOK?

Wow!!! So much vitriol and hate in this thread! I read the first 3 pages.... aaagh I agree with the OP. I find the shopping experience in supermarkets in Thailand very different from in Australia or the US. In other countries, the paying customer is boss, and staff generally do nothing that will hinder the customers from spending their money. In Big C, TMK, Lotus & Makro - hordes of staff seem to gather in groups to discuss their favourite TikTok clips etc, while pretending to be working/restocking shelves etc. I am often made to feel that as a customer I am annoying the staff and making their job/life difficult! If you want to start a rant... I hate that at TMK after I have paid for my items - a staff member must check my bill against my purchases to make sure I have paid correctly. In some cases the checking person has been standing at the checkout , or even assisted in loading up my trolly after scanning. Talk about job creation schemes! Phew, thank you , I feel better niow
