  1. anti social behavior on a motorcycle a deportation offense? what planet are you living on?
  2. to get things in perspective, scammers targeting people and their bank accounts has been going on for years in western countries, looks like thailand is just catching up. if the quality of the back end security of the banking apps and websites is the same as the front end user interface then it's worrying. my home bank website and app make the thai equivalent look like they were designed and built by high school students.
  3. never seen them for more than 150 baht, usually 100, is that expensive????? there's little mon and pop type shops all over the place will do them, usually do photocopying as well.
  4. agree, never been scammed by a taxi driver here, or anywhere else. it's common sense really
  5. yup, agree. nothing to get upset about, just ignore such places, there are plenty of other places to visit.
  6. i'm a new newbie too, i thought it was punishment(!) for criticising the pop up ads ????
  7. you can have all the rules in the world, without enforcement they are so much... hot air... next.
  8. not correct, don't forget about the clean air machines in central bangkok ????
  9. all that's happening is thailand is catching up with the rest of the world. this has been an issue in the uk, and other countries, for many years. common sense and a lack of greed is the solution.
  10. it's a way of keeping people employed, and of those in power feeling they are in power. tbh as long as you get organised it's not that bad. never had to resort to an agent. anyone with some patience and common sense can work it out.
  11. why limit yourself to thailand? if you're teaching on line the world, literally, is your oyster - assuming you're prepared to be flexible. assuming you have relevant qualifications and experience then there are many companies that will pay you well to teach online.
  12. looks like a prostitute who grabbed another woman's man looks like, could be, maybe, who knows??? great reporting
  13. er... so just calmly move the bike. not rocket science is it? ????
  14. the only disrespect was of; health and safety, science and common sense.
  15. actually, four Fs and a B. close, but no cigar.
  16. indeed. says a lot for the countries of many expats living here...
  17. not sure if you're in thailand... sure, most thais wear masks, but most non-thais dont. i choose not to and have received no adverse comments or looks. i have many thai friends who would like to stop wearing masks but basically cultural peer pressure prevents this. not wearing a mask is perfectly acceptable in thailand.
  18. i find it bizarre that people come here for medical advice. if you're sick, go see a doctor.
  19. they've started again. please, please, please can you stop the advertising pop ups. surely there is enough advertising on the site already. indeed, sometimes i cant even see the whole pop up ad because it's hidden by another ad... pop ups are unwanted and very very annoying. please stop.
  20. so every country that charges an airport/landing fees to arrivals is going backwards?
  21. good point, don't think i've ever had trouble navigating an airport or railway station...
  22. they are dangerous, i have seen several overturn, noisy polluters. this replacement initiative is long overdue. and for once relays a positive message. hopefully the charging point infrastructure will be in place to support them.
  23. don't use this as an excuse for thai bashing. drink spiking and assaulting women is rife in many countries. it's a human thing, not a thai thing.
