Pot kettle black, another doggie lover rattled just because not everyone likes these filthy, pathetic creatures

Mrs is a qualified Thai language teacher but has been offered a Job teaching English to groups of factory workers. She is thinking of giving it a try as work as been down the last year due to covid. It's basic conversation in a business environment and her English is good and her knowledge of grammar is better than mine! Any suggestions of what texts or aids to use? There must be something of use on the internet somewhere.

An interview with Peter Hitches on LBC was pointing out just that referring to past history and how different things could have been in the world today if the attitude and treatment of Russia by the west had been friendly.

Even more different if Patton had been listened to and the Allies had rolled the red army back to Russia where it belonged, instead of letting them enslave eastern Europe for 45 years!

Dogs again, just one big problem all round ????

Broccoli revolution is also at top floor in the Embassy Mall where the British embassy used to be, sadly the veggie kitchen on the corner of Asoke moved to 101, bit far out. The Issan restaurant just after exchange tower has some nice veg options.

Also when he takes a girl back to his room 3 friends are waiting to join in,  well after they have finished their one bottle of chang anyway.????

That is not a myth, a bar girl from tilac bar told me this happened to her 20 years ago

You can get an ID number in a few minutes applying for an income tax card at your local tax office, or you will have one on the covid vax certificate

Depends where in Samut Prakan, the western part over the river is a lot better

Could you please tell how to find out what's on?

what were the six?

Many thanks. Wholeheartedly agree with your post.

The Mrs tells me these days, local Wats will always have posters around with the dates, Otop have concerts, facebook have a number of info pages and ads on fm95 and fm 90. The 6 were at local Wats, lamyai, Monkhean, Monsit, talent contest, likay etc. Other fans tell you as well as the singers.

Go to any mobile phone shop and ask them to cut down to nano. 20 Baht.

 

Of course the DIY approach is also possible.

Nano is just a bit bigger than the size of the chip / golden contacts 

Did not know that was possible thanks

Why swap. I don't think you know much about e-sim. There is no need to swap anything. The provider sends him an email with the attached QR code. You scan it and bingo you ready to go.

Tesco will not do that

My old phone with my UK micro sim has died and the sim wont fit in the newer nano sim phone. Are there any phones which take both micro and nano? If not have to buy an old one which takes micro.

You've got to be kidding me!  Thailand has always been culturally starved.   

For those who cannot see, why do you think western culture is the only one which counts?

Plenty of culture here, been to over 1.000 concerts, 6 in the past two weeks. But then I did not come here to see western culture in Thailand.

Am I right in thinking getting 30 day covid insurance will be enough when your permission to stay on your extension (non imm O) is longer than that? Or do you really have to have cover up to the permission to stay date?

1) Move to the Phillipines?

 

2) Set up a dummy address in the Phillipines?

 

3) If you have family or friends you could stay with, return to the UK for a 6 months holiday , say every 5 years to get your pension updated to the current rate?

 

4) And following 3) possibly keep a permanent UK address with said friend or family and get index linked pension paid into a UK bank account and transferred via Wise to Thailand? Would understaffed HMRC be any the wiser?

What about when pensioners go home to renew their passport, don't they take an interest in all the tell tale stamps showing where you are living and pass that on?

I've heard a few rumblings that Putin may be suffering from either physical or mental problems.  He certainly seems to be acting in an irrational manner.   

 

Maybe he just got round to watching this and realised attacking people as hard as nails was not such a good move

From what I have seen so far the new 20k cover policies are the same price as the old 50k ones!
