Lorry

A temporary, non-immigrant resident. But you are right, even as a long-stay tourist I am interested in the direction of the country I am staying in. I found the poll quite interesting.

How we lost: This thread is about pedestrians. Contrary to all you experienced drivers (what are you doing in this thread?) I am a very experienced pedestrian. I have walked millions of steps, in dozens of countries, in many decades. After you (yes, you, the drivers) killed that poor doctor, a zebra crossing was painted at our BigC. We would walk across, cars would stop. We were finally free to walk. As it turned out, we are the vast majority. So there was a continuous stream of pedestrians, cars could hardly found a gap to squeeze themselves through. To give you poor drivers a chance, some zebra-guards were posted with flags and whistles. Now cars had a chance to pass, too. But this was not enough for you insatiable drivers. You had a red light installed, which gives you, the car's, 300 seconds, and us, the people, 15 seconds. We lost.

So open the account as long as you still have it

Come to my neighbourhood, I will show you some traffic lights at zebra crossings.

No, its the other way round.

A trial version has been installed at our local zebra crossing. No knives yet, so foreigners just bump their heads against the metal installation. Then they stand there, dazed, holding their head, in obvious discomfort. I guess the knives are budgeted for next year. BTW the flat fare of 20 B has been confirmed today, again, stating (bold in the original) FOR THAIS ONLY. My latest ride on the BTS was 107 B. One of the most disgusting experiences in Thailand. I really wish my country would do the same to Thais.

21 years later... that may be a record.

The Laotian girl has by now learned how a lift works: to go to the ground floor, press 1. She wears Thai clothes now - when she arrived, she wore clothes my grandma would find old-fashioned. The Indian gets used to his new home, too: he now throws his trash into the hall, in front of his neighbors' doors. And the Americans? Divide et impera! Use tricks to keep them separated, one by one - alone, they cannot speak, because they don't know any language.

Sure, he is. You are no 537,891.

That's an interesting way to look at it, and you may very well be right - I hope you are right. As I am not a customer of Krungsri, I am not delving into this more.

Ok, here are my instructions: Use one of your fingers, any one will do. If you have no fingers, or if you are the age of Bill Gates and use a PC, a mouse will do. Now move finger or mouse over the link I provided. Next, click the link. If I click the link, it will open in the middle of the thread, on page 5, where people discuss the age limit for the Krungsri app. I don't know what will happen if you click the link, ymmv. Read it (using your eyes, not your fingers). Last not least, use your brain to proces the read information. Hope this helps.

You are not alone. There used to be an old lady in a hut next to the big palm tree in T Nodi, A Nowhere, Changhwat Yala, she did the same. Not sure if she is still alive, though.

Not me. I think it was the BP, not sure.

Our local Gourmet Market closed 2 years ago, and I seem to remember having read that all Gourmet Markets would close?

It was discussed in one of the threads about all these banking problems. It is actually written in their T&C as one poster found out.

This is not what these shops compete against. Washing by hand is ancient history, last century. The way to wash clothes here used to be - your own washing machine - a series of coin operated top loaders belonging to the condo/apartment/ dormitory These new shops use front loaders and warm water. Clothes do get cleaner. Most people shy away from the investment to buy such a machine, as they are relatively expensive.

Krungsri withdraws the web based option for everybody. It also withdraws the app for people over 70.

Whereas, if you didn't raise the limit and get scammed, you get lots of support, from the police, the bank, from consumer protection. (Sarcasm alert) In the last months, 3 friends have been scammed. None got any support whatever. One actually got scammed by the bank. The sums seem paltry to us (all less than 200 USD), but the psychological effects where devastating in all 3 cases. All three were lower class and lost their trust in their fellow citizens and in the working of society. All three couldn't talk about anything else for days. The feeling of powerlessness.

Correct, except that the word "communist" isn't even in the country name. 中华人民共和国 just means Chinese People's Republic. The word "communist" is still in the name of the ruling party, 中国共产党 Communist Party of China.

This is true, but very dangerous. I have seen both ways: A guy who refused surgery in a well-known private Phuket hospital: "these criminals ate not going to cut me open!" He flew home, no surgery was ever necessary. Another guy, visibly sick, was recommended Samitivej Hospital, very expensive, and even he had insurance, he considered it a rip-off and went to the small 30-bed government hospital nearby. Doctors there couldn't do much (and would have loved it, had he gone to the ICU in Samitivej). He died the same night. Get a second opinion from someone you trust.

Most probably means "pay"? คนเปย์ is a sponsor?
