It would appear that the plane was close to falling apart. I know that the oxygen masks are supposed to deploy in an emergency but should the air vents be falling down and injuring passengers? The turbulence must have been off the scale!

Can you not read?

those sections are damaged because not wearing seatbelts were bouncing off the ceiling.

Strangely I have seen very few

con/chem trails over Thailand,

When I lived in London there where a lot....maybe its due to the humidity in Thailand ?

not given to conspiracy theories on koh Phangan we saw planes flying overhead daily leaving crossed trails that would slowly diffuse until they left a fine haze rather than blue sky. 

I had a friend obsessed by it at the time,  but it is hard to deny that it happened nearly every day during the hot season.   

it is also common knowledge the last king designed a cloud-seeding process commonly used across the kingdom.

Try getting a refund with a bank transfer. It won’t happen. Lazada will keep it. 

Why would I do that?

Really! How many climate predictions have been massively wrong? 20, 30, 40++. Great lakes dry~ highest levels on record, no ice caps ~ ice cap growth, polar bear extinction ~ growth in population so much so they are breading with brown bears.... oh let's not talk about islands underwater, London under water, miami coastline underwater, that's the area certain cult members have multi million dollar beach front property! Anyone feeling stupid yet?

we seem to lack the ability to discern irony.

there are never times where wise either isn’t functioning or will hold onto your money for quite some time.

anecdotally speaking, in around 5 years Wise has never delayed one of my transfers or held my money. Obviously, others may have had a different experience, but generally speaking, they are using SWIFT or funding the transaction in a way that causes delays.

SWIFT is a different animal altogether

I've come to the conclusion that an awful lot of people on this website have never met rich Thais, and think they don't exist.

 

More to the point they keep banging on about the "average" Thai, apparently blithe to the fact that those people in new cars buying new condos and homes all around them are the average Thai.

the middle class is much more well-off than many on here want to admit.

Sounds bad to me

read again, the 15 on 250 occurred using the bank, not Wise.

Yes, exactly. He dabbled a bit on occasion "for medicinal reasons", but I came back at the end of 2022 to find him skiving off work and sitting in weed bars continuously. 6 months later the job was gone, 9 months later the house was gone. He couldn't even be arsed to rent the house out as an AirBnB. Totally lost the will to be a productive member of society. 

 

As for friend #2, he openly admits himself, smoking dope absolutely led him on to hard drugs.

 

Believe what you want. It makes no odds to me.

what utter twaddle, using weed to avoid accountability

Can't legally purchace cigs or alcohol either but they do. It's a matter of societal attitudes and lack of law enforcement rather than the law itself.

which is exactly my point responding to this assertion

adolescents cannot legally purchase cannabis.

this thread is creepy as fok. In all my adulthood I have never even come close to sex with a minor nor needed to worry about the specifics you all seem to give so much thought

glad he's feeling better.

Starbucks espresso (NOT any lattecino) is good. 

 sure it is. 

Anyways Aroma 100% Arabica, many of Bluekoffs offerings etc. 

it is not hard to find decent affordable coffee here at all, but you need the machine and -- just as important -- the grinder to make it happen.
