  1. It is imperative that it becomes sufficiently dim to match those running the show. Besides, I am sure they are itching to start issuing orders again - how they must be missing those heady days of the bestest tightest uniforms, vinyl backdrops, massive flower arrangements, solemn countenances and directives issued in measured tones, telling everyone what they have to do...
  2. They might respond. I think "spring into action" is a tad optimistic!
  3. DTA. Don't Talk in Abreviations.

    Buriram

    I long ago came to the conclusion that nobody between the ages of 21 and 35 lives in Buriram. The males all drive taxis in Bangkok, the females are all engaged in various employment fields there.
  5. I don't know about 3 nights, it would take me 3 months to recover from 1 night! Definitely something about Thailand though isn't there - I wish I could put my finger on it!
  6. Report it to the bank, by telephone/ mobile banking app. They will be able to tell you the last transaction, if you recognise it then , with the card cancelled, no fraud. Ask them to replace the card.
  7. Thank you. It was mainly a joke following @Jingthingpost "what's a store" but interesting non the less! Would you let me know if it works for you?
  8. Report it to the bank, in person, as soon as possible. When you report it make sure that you reconcile your records with the banks, to make sure that your card has not been subsequently used. The bank should issue you a new card, change the PIN. When I had to do that recently it only took about 20 minutes.
  9. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is, technically, not an organ of the European Union (EU). That said, it does have close links to, and is heavily influenced by, the governing bodies of the EU, which (although this is a debate for another time) have little, flawed, democratic accountability and do enjoy "chucking their weight about"! The ECHR was not set up, or designed, to overrule national laws, in particular when cases have already been appealed up to and including the national supreme courts. The ruling, for example, which stayed the initial deportation flight of "asylum seekers" to Rwanda was obtained late at night, from a single foreign judge, ruling anonymously on a case which had already been appealed all the way up through the United Kingdom's judicial system and ruled legal by the UK's Supreme Court. The judges in the ECHR are at the pinnacle of their judicial careers. That means that they may have been practicing law for over forty years, some in countries with less than savoury judicial systems; where for example, opponents of governments were regularly sent by courts to psychiatric institutions! That aside, they come, almost without exception, from countries with very different judicial systems and traditions to that of the UK, and often from countries where the judiciary have much less independence from government. It is perhaps ironic that, in the midst of the current wave of "asylum seekers" trafficked by Albanian gangs, from Albania, Albania has a judge on the panel of the ECHR! Personally I don't think that we should necessarily leave the ECHR system, we helped set it up, but we should certainly not view it as a superior court to our own courts, after all it is not bound by either British statute or Common Law.
  10. I suspect that the non-Thai element of their business is so infinitesimally small that they are not bothered.
  11. Early days...
  12. Look like a real bunch of fun loving party animals don't they!
  13. What, find someone one with lots of money to buy it and screw it up? NB: I'm not a Twitter user, just an interested observer.
  14. Have you invested in Bread-makers?????
  15. Why limit it to a mere 20 years? A thousand years has a pleasing (historical) ring to it! Hyperbole apart, some alarming parallels are emerging, particularly in the area of voter intimidation - armed " observers" of ballot drop off boxes, and the pressures on election officials for example.
  16. Come on, there will be people not behind bars who will act for him, he will have lots of influence!
  17. I should imagine fake ID cards are quite common. They may not pass muster with a government office, but for someone with a few beers inside him, and deeply I'm lust, they are probably convincing enough...
  18. I thought that the sanctions on Russian aviation meant that their aircraft (Boeing or Airbus) were no longer certified for international flight. Furthermore the leased aircraft are liable to seizure if they land outside Russia. Does that mean that Thailand's aviation authorities are quite happy to ignore the certification status (or lack of) of these aircraft?
  19. He and his "team" have had several months to put the assets beyond reach.
  20. My post (the OP) specifically stated that it was a website operated by Lazada, but NOT their main sales website.
  21. They don't work on either my computer or mobile.
  22. I have, over the last two days had the "pleasure"(?) of attempting to use two websites, one run by Lazada ( not their sales website) and one by Krung Thai Bank. Neither works properly. The Lazada site is virtually unreadable, and keeps insisting that it can not complete any function because the "parama" is wrong, whatever a "parama" is. I enquired of customer service, they replied with some unintelligible gibberish about money laundering! The KTB NetBank site has not been able to provide me with a statement for over a week now, when you enter the date range the boxes reset to "Na-Na-Na"! Krung Thai helpline ( normally unavailable) advised me to use their app. I downloaded it, of course it doesn't work - it asks for my passport number then refuses to accept it. How does this country expect to remain vaguely competitive if their IT is such a consistent shambles?
  23. Where I live there are no collections. The amphur used to have a landfill, but now they keep it locked. I went to see the Poo Yai Ban to enquire, he said burn it. Recycling - I found a recycler who agreed to come every couple of weeks. I told him I didn't want any money - just for him to come by and take the recycling. I went out and bought 4 big plastic baskets, one for glass, one for plastic, one for tins and one for aluminium cans. He came once, took the baskets away with him! Never seen him again. People burn rubbish because there is really no other choice.
  24. A precocious 13 year old with a phone is quite capable of arranging this sort of thing.
