I'm a Yorkshireman, since when has $300 been easier than 1,900 Bath ? I hope Thailand win. -
Report Thai Woman Finds Abandoned Box with 12 Million Baht in Condo Waste Area
DaLa replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Sounds good, but remember 'This ain't no country for old women, old men or old anyone'. I'd probably toss a coin to see whether or not to keep it. -
Report Tax-Free Wine Boom in Thailand Spurs Costs and Controversy
DaLa replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That's the equivalent of around 53 baht a bottle. I've just paid 10 times that for a bottle of Evian at a posh restaurant. Does it rot through the container before you get it home? Seriously though, well done. -
One of only a few times in my life did I achieve a 9 out of 10. I had no idea as I felt 100% fit and had never been advised to have my PSA checked. Yes you would expect the Potus to have been afforded that check, however PSA level is only part of the diagnosis. As for his general health I am 2 years down the road and have all the accompanying side effects of the condition and treatment , however in my opinion and from my own experience he has other health issues. Unless of course as he is 6 years ahead of me the cancer is having that effect on him and I have a similar fate.

Well that depends BritMan, can you expand on the definitions of 'young' and 'attractive'? -
Thailand to Launch Digital Arrival Card to Replace Paper Forms
DaLa replied to Video News's topic in Video News and Updates
'....at least 3 days'. So what happens if you only leave for 2 days? And more importantly what happens if you arrive without the TDAC? Will the airline you travel on check you have applied and refuse to fly you if unavailable. This is going to be fun (not) for a few people. -
Trapped Antarctic Scientists Plead for Rescue Amid Fear after Assault
DaLa replied to Social Media's topic in World News
They should try appealing to his better nature. I remember watching a film based in Antartica where it worked for Mumble. -
Must be some very revealing notes in there, I wonder who is paying that to keep a lid on the revelations?

2000 fired Usaid employees hysterical after getting axed.
DaLa replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
I worked for an organisation like this in the UK , paid out of local government funds. Meanwhile the local taxpayers were freezing to death due to the exorbitant local taxes. I left due to the my conscience not being able to work in an environment where people were paid £35k a year with no benefit to the people who were paying their salaries. Someone undertake this exercise in the UK please. Of course it will never happen because those at the top of these organisations just love their empires and even higher salaries.- 1 reply

Most of my credit/debit cards require a 4 digit PIN. However at several locations I have encountered a problem whereby the transaction has required a 6 digit PIN. I make it clear that the card only requires 4 digits but he sales person doesn't understand the situation or how to resolve the issue. Any ideas would be welcome.....yeh OK , I'll pay cash. Seriously, do I type in space space 1234 or 1234 space space. To add to the confusion some of the transactions are completed without the PIN at one store (BigC) and require a PIN for a similar amount at another branch. One serious side affect of this is on trying multiple times to key in the PIN my card was blocked and it was like trying to break into my wife's nightie on an 'off' day to restore my credit.

Thailand Eyes Senior Tourists for '25, Aiming for 40 Million Visitors

Just release the full moon dates to SAGA in the UK, that should take care of a good 15 million. -
And if you are 1 of those 20% then you don't 'wonder' for more than a second about the options. After that decision you (I) will never know which treatment would return the best outcome. I'll never know whether I should have opted for active surveilance or the other treatments, but I'll also never know if I escaped a painful and shortened life. The problem with 'going on with their normal lives' is like me, you take your health for granted and miss the opportunity to catch it early. I was fit as a butchers dog when my biopsy returned a Gleeson of 4+5. I had to make a quick decision and thankfully Siriraj in Bangkok had the equipment and experience to deal with it. Radiotherapy had some side affects that I could have lived without , but I'm here 18 months later and reasonably healthy. My s3x drive has diminished but I put that down to the female hormone injections...2 more to go and then I'm hopeful I'll be back in action.. There's a slight issue with bladder/bowel control, but certainly not requiring pads, mainly the interrupted sleep from multiple bathroom visits. Good luck to anyone suffering from this, hope it works out well for you.

Nightmare at the Prachuap tax office
DaLa replied to thesetat's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
My sentiment too. Tax is not my strong point so I avoid it which helps the revenue department waisting time with me on the matter. I was intrigued by the acronym 'DTA' , so I asked Pim 'do you do DTA Pim' and her eyes lit up she said it was expensive but I'd enjoy it. Wow, 8 minutes later she was right. I'm a bit exhausted but I recommend it, try it guys. -
Bars in Thailand Set to Close This Week for Buddhist Holiday
DaLa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That was always my take on this. However I stayed at the Dusit Thani Ha Hin on my 70th..NO alcohol rule. As posted earlier I was going to stop overnight in Pattaya this Makha Bucha day so I emailed the Dusit Thani there and got the reply below. To make matters worse, my nearest mom&pop store won't sell on Buddha days either...and finally I don't own a pool ! Life sucks sometimes. -
I live in a factory built steel house supplied by SCG Heim from Japan, The walls are insulated and then clad with a reflective tile , the windows are double glazed and the whole thing comes as modules that are then attached on site. The units are places on a traditional footing which is 45 cm above ground level.

Bars in Thailand Set to Close This Week for Buddhist Holiday
DaLa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thanks for this, I was just about to book a night down in Pataya. Now onto the Ante/Post Meridiem issue, safer to label and describe it as 0001 after midnight on Tuesday to 2359 on Wednesday (give or take a minute or two. -
Before you drive for the first time in LOS
DaLa replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Tame. Wife wouldn't let me drive here for 5 years although I had 1 million miles on the clock in the UK, cars and LGV. Just stay off the road between 02:01 and 01:59 you'll be safe.
