Stay away from the high tourist destinations and it is very cheap to live here. For 6 months a year i work from hotels in the UK/Europe and what i get for £25/30 a night in Thailand would cost £100-150 a night in the UK. A lovely Thai meal and a pint will be less than £5 here, at least £15 in the UK. My home in Thailand including all bills £2,300 year, £9,000 in the UK. For me, it's very cheap in Thailand. Now, if only i could find a cheap place to play golf ????

Pain relief

The insanity of the man continues

As has been mentioned....Call their bluff and get thrown out of hospital, she looks well enough now. Go home and forget about Thailand ?

I bet there are plenty of guys that don't beat their partners and who are law abiding that would love to be her next beau

Those are some pricey bars you drink in Bangkocker

Well done. Every bit of help is needed.

Make Thailand a welcoming enviroment for foreigners without fear of being ripped off at every opportunity, sort out the BIB mafia and it could be possible

A very bizzare post there, showing a deep hatred for normally very loving animals. There is a massive difference between a well loved and cared for pet dog and a soi dog that is on its way to becoming feral

I would be very surprised if his name is not on a hit list somewhere. At the very least i should imagine his affairs are being scrutinised in minute detail looking for some way to shut him up. My respect to you sir.

You can bet most of the parents have no problem taking their children to school on a motorbike without a helmet on or passing their motorbike keys to their children

Elephants are very intelligent and don't forget. Some time in the future this mistreated beast will flip and stomp a mahout flat and everyone will be shocked. Those that go to see Elephant and Tiger shows in Thailand help to keep these cruel practices going, shame on those people.

Silence from yesterdays posters claiming Charlene was lying

Akin to the football world not entering a competition in the USA due to them calling it Soccer not football.

Thailand throwing its toys out of the pram

A drop in the ocean compared to the 50% airfare increases. I have far more important things to worry about than an extra 8 Euros to get here

Power banks below 20,000 mAh are allowed in hand luggage to Thailand. USA flights are 27,000 mAh i believe. Be wary of inferior chinese power banks

Collected the 2023 Xmax 300 Tech Max yesterday. I find the scooter very nice to ride and the harsh rear suspension that has been reported elsewhere is not a problem for me. I set the springs on the softest setting. I do not have a riding background, so those that have, may say it is on the firm side. One thing i will say though, is the Garmin streetcross navigation app is... nothing short of useless. I am in Cha am and the damn thing couldn't even find the Honda or Yamaha dealerships which are only 3ks from me. Couldn't find Immigration at Phetchaburi etc etc. So if any readers are interested in the new Xmax Tech Max with the navigation screen, i would advise you to save your money and get the cheaper model and use google maps on your phone which i will be doing.

Without doubt, there are lunatics running the asylum

??? Expect the unexpected everytime you jump on a bike and there are no problems. Always pass a parked car with enough room for the door to suddenly open, expect the vehicle that's approaching a junction not to stop for you, don't expect a mirror,signal,maneuver etc etc. The foreigners that get injured most of the time get complacent, think that the Thai roads are safe like their home countries, or have been drinking.

If anyone is looking for Dr Yong....He's on his knees under Xi's desk

with spit buckets every 10 paces and toilet roll on every soi corner

ukrules-I think slowing it down is pretty much the aim, so as not to overload the hospitals as we saw in the past.

Must have been local rules in said countries. 6 weeks ago from UK to TL i was not required to show proof of vax.
