    Thailand, with its stunning beaches, warm climate, and unique culture, stunning beaches? my sister lives in australia where even the most bog standard beach knocks anything i've seen in thailand right out of the park, only someone who has never been to a decent beach would call thai beaches stunning. isn't every culture unique?

    you need to be on them straight away and challenge them if they don;t use the meter, if they create a fuss i just get out at the soonest opportunity, admittedly possibly not an option in your current situation.

    The gratuitous offers of advice of "caveat emptor" always seems to appear in hindsight. sure, often, but not exclusively, and this is because issues appear after the fact, so it is in hindsight.

    there were 3 or 4 different nationalities taken hostage in the iranian embassy siege, the rescue of the hostages was absolutely not dependent on their nationality.

    how do you know the bar is profitable? turnover is vanity, profit is sanity.
  6. it is what it is
    it's not a start because they are relying on the, already discredited, check and enforcement process and protocols, what is needed is root and branch reform, but that's not going to happen. in fact once the news cycle has moved on from this story absolutely nothing will change. it's all about optics.

    too worried about popularity. a few years ago the govt, very sensibly, stopped the dangerous practice of carrying people in the back of pick ups, people complained and the govt u turned. pathetic.

    there are, i've used them
  9. it is what it is
    anything over 50K you have to declare. though suggest you check thai govt web sites. google is your friend.

    how do you know she knew that she had an STD?

    true, my parents had no idea of about 90% of the stuff i got up to when i was a teenager. more effective policing and enforcement of existing legislation would go someway to changing what is a dreadful behavioral cultural on thai roads, and i include foreigners as well as locals in this.

    so, you're unable to process basic information and navigate an airport, thanks for letting us know.

    the whole QR code payment system is unnecessarily convoluted and prone to error, other more user friendly and efficient systems exist, cashless payments are so much quicker and more accurate in the uk.

    long haul flights from reputable international airlines land in thailand, are you saying thailand does not conform to international airline/aviation safety standards?
  15. it is what it is
    that pretty much sums it up.
  16. it is what it is
    A sneaky bribe of 3,000 to 4,000 baht is all it takes to fast-track an inspection who'd have thunk it... 🙄

    Kid Creole would beg to differ, If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So for my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you

    still blaming the driver?
  19. it is what it is
    that was obvious from the start, though he didn't do himself any favours by scarpering the scene instead of staying and trying to help.
  20. it is what it is
    i know, it's so simple, keep a presence in the uk

    It’s the average Joe with little/no additional pension that feels this the most. or, who failed to plan ahead and make appropriate financial decisions in preparation for their old age
  22. it is what it is
    nah, in bangkok they regularly rip up perfectly food pavements and replace, usually waiting several months between the rippimg up and replacing.
  23. it is what it is
    not if i dont have a fungal infection...
  24. it is what it is
    so, there's no domestic violence in your country? please enlighten us, or are you simply thai bashing?
  25. it is what it is
    never mind the food, what about the basic hygiene? local street food vendors park their carts in a grotty soi near my place. not only is the soi dirty and full of rubbish, but i have seen, cats, dogs, rats, insects crawling all over the carts. i have never, ever, seen a vendor cleaning their cart either when knocking off work or preparing to start cooking food. i wouldn't go anywhere near food prepared and cooked in these conditions.
