it is what it is

yes, they are different, they can't even agree to have a standard travel card as most other major city public transport systems have.

Scams go on and on. indeed they do, which is why reputable financial institutions work to hard to protect their customers, but often the problem is the customer themselves being naive or just doing a dumb thing. i have to continually remind my elderly mother to be on her guard, it's a sad indictment of the modern world. i'm pretty sensible and switched on and have never been scammed, neither have any of my friends or my mother, despite ongoing attempts. stay on your guard and you'll be fine.

fantastic. horrible, anti social habit. the sooner they are banned the better.

comparing the front end and user experience of my k bank web account and app (now deleted) to my bank back home's web account and app the difference is quite shocking. the former appearing as if they were designed as part of an student's A level project. and, it got me thinking if the back end and security are as badly designed as the front end then i need to be really careful. therefore, i manage the risk by keeping most of my money back home.

so, a one off. maybe the OPs neighbours simply don't hold him in the high esteem he thinks they do/should...

peddling such speculation is irresponsible. please don't.

pushing boundaries, extremely creative, loved it.

very very few people buy cars as an investment, pretty much every new cars loses value the moment its driven of the forecourt.

only if you date low educated women. thai women i date and most of my thai friends have bachelor or master degrees from foreign universities, studying in their second, or third language, could you? be careful before you make generalised inaccurate comments. or get out of the bar and meet some well educated professional locals

yea, because such crimes don't occur in other countries

maybe avoiding his overbearing father...

i spent 2.5 years travelling around the world mostly overland, the internet was in its infancy and few countries had internet cafes, i would go weeks, sometimes months, without being able to contact home. postcards and the occasional phone call. the world has certainly changed.

probably not, but one day he'll be out and free to get on with his life, whereas the man he killed...

they buy them from gun shops. go to the area near the giant swing, on the edge of chinatown, bangkok, you'll find plenty of gun shops

yea, because things like this never happen in other countries

sorry, but you don;t understand about aid, unfortunately, any benefit will be short lived, it will last as long as it takes to spend the money. to deliver real benefit to those in need capital investment projects which deliver ongoing benefit into the future have a much higher success rate.

keep my condo clean and food properly stored, never have any issues with cockroaches or ants.

This isn't a brag, just an insight into quitting smoking, 🤣

no they don't.

you need an agent for this? you have to wonder at how inadequate some people are.

citizens destroying their own community resources, morons.

how so? explain please. looks like a well styled culturally appropriate uniform to me

Showed the photo, got an instant “don’t have” response. maybe they didn't have any, what are they supposed to say? do you speak thai? if so they could probably tell you when they would next be in stock. these guys generally work for minimum wage, how hard would you work, how motivated would you be for around 300 baht /day? chill man, give them a break.

this is an extremely small, should i say innocuous, incident, how on earth does that equate to thailand 'shooting itself in the foot'?

if i meet her i'll be sure to tell her she's a beautiful lady, you never know, i might get lucky
