  1. Has the Thai army fought in a war against foreigners?
  2. I send money TO my wise bank using their sort code and account number. Then I convert it to the foreign currency of my choice, usually baht and put it in my Thai account. Why bank with Wise if you don't have a bank account with them?
  3. I rarely use the wise card but this thread isn't about the wise card. It's about the wise bank.
  4. Pay is too low- hours are too long- conditions too poor and chance for promotion scarce with no real in-house training. Conditions are scandalous with barriers to employment such as person character guarantees being demanded, staff having to buy uniforms....etc
  5. I'm undecided about an American cop show called 'Murder in the 1st' Its a multistrand narrative featuring nihilistic youth, bent cops and vice but although I'm watching it I'm not that enthusiastic but dont know why. Bad casting? Bad wardrobe? Too many beards? I'd be interested in other's opinions.
  6. I rarely watch documentary productions but recently made an exception and enjoyed Trainwreck Woodstock 99. It's got excellent camera work and is a good yarn about how and why this attempt to recreate the original Woodstock failed. The reasons included; greed, musical genres, different drugs and generational shifts. For anybody who has enjoyed pop festivals this is especially interesting short, three part documentary and in general a good insight into greed compared to idealism.
  7. Thais have been wearing masks for decades against pollution as have the Japanese, Chinese and other Asians. Its a smart idea.
  8. If you think BM looked black then you are unfamiliar with African skin tones.
  9. French is considered a world language or 'lingua franca' Before GB joined the EU there was French in their passports.
  10. In pratunam area of Bangkok they sell sumo size clothing. 'Bob' is not an efficient shopper
  11. You don't own property- you have a mortgage. But your point is relevant- guess you'll just have to put your rents up. However, this is problematic as enery prices are rising
  12. I have never known any foreigner, no matter how large to have this problem.
  13. They were wearing masks before covid to keep sooty fumes out of the mouth
  14. My knee problem turned out to be gout, my friend it turned out had an STI and my other friend had some kind of fast keyhole surgery and flushing stuff out. If you really had a problem you would not be choosy about the BPH nor would you hesitate to go to Bangkok. I strongly suggest you go now to get it sorted before it gets worse and gets more damaged.
  15. They are experts in the field of teaching and learning English and educational qualifications in general.
  16. In Pattaya I had my will done at 5k without shopping around - in Thai. In English you can download them from the Internet for about 30 quid which I also did.
  17. Does that include dental x rays?
  18. Stick to pretending to teach!
  19. It's near that lovely new club The Malibrew. Lobster rice at 1800 baht and fine selection of craft beers with open kitchen and great stage
  20. There's always a way. I was a sanctions buster in Libya but we managed to get airplane spares and insurance for our aircraft.
  21. He wasn't in Germany! Or South America. He was in fact in a very tame mum's and dad's american burger bar. Plastic, anodyne,risk free, respectable safe space with equally ersatz food.
