  1. it is what it is
    i come from a small village back home, one of my elderly neighbours lived in my village and her husband, of 40 odd years, lived in a village a 10 minute drive away, it worked for them, they found it extremely beneficial to their lives and relationship. tbh i can see the positives.
  2. it is what it is
    sophisticated? hardly. more like the buyer didn't do basic due diligence or research before booking. booking accommodation on facebook when there are plenty of bespoke aps available, what could possibly go wrong? 🙄
  3. it is what it is
    on average i only see a small minority of foreigners wearing helmets when riding motorcycles. i don't understand the mentality, but am not surprised by the consequences.

    He claimed he was drunk and unable to control himself, insisting he did not intend to sexually assault anyone not the most imaginative line of defence. though if it works all you have to do is get sloshed before committing a crime then walk away scot (scotch) free...😁
  5. it is what it is
    yes i did. i was in my local 7/11 recently and overheard a gen Zer scolding another genZer for buying Nestle branded water; don't support the man was his refrain, as he ignorantly handed over his cash to the 7/11 employee... 🙄

    OP, the poor sales assistants in places like HomePro must be sick and tired of people like you. they are at work it's their job to be nice to you, don't let your inflated opinion of yourself and ego get the better of you. treat them with respect as you'd treat any other member of staff regardless of age, gender or looks. I cringe when i see old, desperate foreigners 'flirting' with shop staff and waitresses. get a life guys.

    It has been in the 40's in my garden....To hot to venture into for the first time ever. All temperatures taken for records of air temperature are taken in the shade. Any temperature gauges that are recording temperatures in the sun will be affected by the sun's radiation and the temperature during that period will appear significantly hotter

    if it's a boat stop pier there are tyers he could climb up, away from piers the sides are pretty much un-climbable. i think some boat stops are buoyancy aids for such incidents, but not all. ability to swim and alcohol/illegal drugs may have played a part. let's wait and see. very sad.

    I was told last night that the police were carrying out breathalyser checks on Saturday. Probably a good idea. Probably? er, no, without a doubt an excellent idea, and something that should be done all the time all over the country.
  10. it is what it is
    absolutely not, am on a wonderful holiday enjoying what i want to do, when i want to do it, without some idiot throwing water at me. bliss. 😁
  11. it is what it is
    they really should have got their ducks in line before making any announcement. this has been going on for ages.
  12. it is what it is
    according to the WHO over 20,000 die on thailand's roads every year, average 54 per day. so with 63 deaths in two it's statistically less likely you'll be killed on the roads during the first two days of 2024 songkran. around 924,799 are injured each year, about 2,500 per day. so 550 injured in two days means roads were much safer during the first two songkran days.
  13. it is what it is
    no it's not. it's perfectly acceptable.
  14. it is what it is
    i always go to female IOs, never had a problem in all the years i've been traveling to and fro. must be something about me 😇
  15. it is what it is
    no it's not, it's immigration and customs doing their job. how often to people on AN complain about authorities inaction? i wish they'd search more people, more than happy form them to search me.
  16. it is what it is
    everyone needs to calm down, and just take a little more care and attention when using the roads.
  17. it is what it is
    true. however, it is an amazingly powerful crime fighting tool, which has led directly to the successful conviction of many thousands of criminals, as well as being a key component in the fight against terrorism. nothing is perfect eh?!
  18. it is what it is
    the driver was driving slowly and cautiously, the guy's obviously got issues.
  19. it is what it is
    get the food yourself.
  20. it is what it is
    so much for the separation of powers.
  21. it is what it is
    when i went to open an account with bangkok bank they wanted a letter from my embassy confirming i was who i said i was. i said thanks, but no thanks. walked down the street and opened an account at k bank, took about 40 minutes. if someone doesn't want my business that's fine, i'll take my business to someone who does. no complaining, no stress.
  22. it is what it is
    i'm out for the 'festivities' too many idiots, thai and foreign. most of my thai friends dislike the excessive water throwing activities too and hunker down or go abroad on holiday. throwing water is 'fun' for about 30 minutes, after that it just gets repetitive and boring. but, everyone to their own.
  23. it is what it is
    sounds like you're doing the right things, the average cost of a uk funeral would be around 180,000 baht, so not sure where you get a figure of 400k from.
  24. it is what it is
    not a thai problem, the rivers and sea around the uk are becoming increasingly polluted. back home i come from a small village which is increasingly attracting tourists, they leave litter everywhere, but also locals drop litter, we have litter picks every few months just to keep on top of the trash. it's a sad indictment of modern day thinking and living.
  25. it is what it is
    people need to think before commenting, there's a fair chance that this man is suffering from mental illness, he clearly need help and support, not mockery.
