  1. They belong to the 'intelligent stupid' variety.. A deadly combo
  2. Is she young-ish? Maybe she thinks she can move a few steps up the ladder, if you know what I mean. Many lonely and rich men in the West
  3. If masks are not ditched there will be no economic recovery. ..and yes..in the primitive Thai brain, farang=covid. Occasionally if some Thai (woman always) tightens her mask in my presence, I have a coughing fit in her general direction. Solly naa...
  4. There will be a lot of soul-searching in the years to come for sure. The old 'model' is dead.
  5. The only in-demand jobs I see are for delivery mbike riders Zillions jostling at traffic lights these days.
  6. Good to know. Malaysia has also scrapped all requirements afaik Cambodia requires an ATK on arrival only..if positive and no symptoms present ,you can enter, if symptoms present, hospitalization is required
  7. I'll be the judge alright and I will keep my opinion to myself. ..and yes...my opinion ain't pretty.
  8. Thais and their addiction to 'bollow money pay you tomollow' Hopeless.
  9. Sorry I didn't read the whole novel but I bet she was a pro from before.
  10. They are getting desperate.
  11. Free market?...???? Hasn't been any free market for decades...if ever.
  12. Being going into town almost daily, for the last few months. Having also lived there in the past, I am familiar with all the economic activity etc. The pandemic has totally devastated the tourism industry and by contagion ,a lot of the commercial activity. Many hotels haven't reopened, malls and big supermarkets quiet, a multitude of small shops gone for good The nightlife industry is still dead. The trickle of tourists from Malaysia hasn't had any meaningful impact. For rent/sale signs all over. A general depressing feeling all over. Terrible. I feel sorry for ppl who lost livelyhoods. I believe Robinson's, Diana, Siam Nakarin are living on borrowed time. Somebody can correct me but I think Odean has gone under too, except the ground floor which still operates. Big C extra is very quiet also. There's a limit as to how much money companies can burn. The only places with some vigorous activity are Makro, Central Festival and the fresh markets I believe the center of town, as we knew it, is not coming back.
  13. Weak (or strong baht) have both pros and cons. A weak baht is good for exports and tourism but bad for foreign debt servicing. So ,I believe Prawit's statement was out of concern that govt and private companies will have to pay more for debt servicing. Anyone else sense an economic storm coming btw?
  14. Of course..
  15. Religious leaders have a lot of clout This dumba$$ has nothing. This being said, the girl could be 300 kgs and with one leg. In that case, it may happen.
  16. No way a 17 yr old will marry a broke 58 yr old. I refuse to comment on all other issues arising from it. Not gonna happen.
  17. I gave it to her..not sure she did register it From experience with other banks, the system seems to go haywire when you get a new passport Seems the software Designers never thought of this ????‍♂️????‍♂️
  18. I maintain a small balance for online purchases with ttb. Was trying to use their Visa Lite card online. Not successful. Went to the bank...after 20 mins we went nowhere. Not to mention that it took forever to get into their sculls that the card doesn't work online only...it does work at the ATM. Later at home, I tried to install the app. Asked to put my passport number...I did. Sorry sir..no acct with this number! Yes numbsculls because it's a new passport!!! Just gave up. What a useless bank.
  19. Where did I mention AI? Being blue-pilled won't help either.
  20. I didn't know the answer 100% ..I had a good hunch but I wanted to be 100% certain Holding the book doesn't mean much in a shtf senario. This acct has to be drained asap because a crisis is brewing.. ????????
