it is what it is

contact the vet and see if they are prepared to do an online initial consultation, common back home following covid

was chatting to me friend's 13 and 15 year old children last week, they were telling me about this incident and were critical of the government and navy, they are getting tuned in at a young age these days.

could be a good year to be out and about celebrating, many of my thai friends will be staying at home due to covid fears. so, if you're brave enough get out there and party!

updates for my phone will finish soon, so, great little phone that it is, apps will eventually stop working, just want to keep it going until i have to get a more recent version.

condo owners in a thai friend's block rent out their condos on short term lets to holiday makers. when covid hit there were chinese holidaymakers staying, the thai residents took matters into their own hands are refused to let the chinese out of their condos until they were due to go home. i'd stay in a hotel if i were you...

just looking at the shocking design and clunky functionality of my thai banking web pages puts me off installing their app. if the front end is that bad, how likely is it the back end is any better/reliably secure?

anyone know where i can get a new, non-apple, battery for my iphone 5SE in bangkok? thanks

child benefit is not linked to amount of tax paid. uk pension is based on national insurance contributions, not tax paid. everyone has the opportunity to keep up their NI contributions, and therefore qualify for a full state pension, via voluntary class three payments. indeed, there is a generous timescale to allow people to keep payments up to date in order to qualify for a full state pension. it is one of the best investments you can make. if you chose not to do this don't complain, as the thais like to say; up to you.

most of my thai friends are professionals who have studied abroad either to bachelor or master degree level, in their second or third language i might add. the standard of english they speak, even though many do not use the language on a daily basis, is generally very good. i feel most foreigners in thailand tend to hang out with lower class, uneducated thais and judge all thais by this experience. they are lacking an understanding and experience of the 'real' thauland, and missing a great opportunity to meet and know some great people.

i use k bank and find them pretty good and helpful, though english speaking staff can be few and far between, next time just give HO a call, they have english speaking staff available and can efficiently iron out any issues.

haha, well, large infrastructure projects are years in the planning and construction, does that answer your question?!

bangkok confinement

oh they use it alright, all over the world in major coffee chains, that's often the reason why many of their drinks have horrific calorie content.

DTAM boss Thongchai Lertwilairattanapong says cannabis is for medicinal purposes only and should only be used under a doctor’s supervision. really? well they certainly messed that piece of legislation up.

*Deleted post edited out* I won't wear anymore this useless uncomfortable mask (only good against pollution) the masks worn by the vast majority of people are pretty much hopeless in giving any kind of protection against pollution. Masks need to be airtight against the face, and, according to experts, FFP1 masks, N95 masks, and cartridges are known to be the most effective. The FFP1 masks, or the N95 masks, are known to be the most effective clinically, and can effectively limit the inhalation of pollutants suspended in the air.

i'm not so sure, was on the BTS and the announcement stated that is was 'suggested' passengers wore masks, no mandatory requirement. i've never seen a non mask wearer asked to wear a mask on the BTS or MRT.

why didn't they put out a mayday call, launch the lifeboats, get in them and wait for rescue?

if they start being lenient with these offenders then it will encourage others to follow suit. it is not difficult to be here legally. a friend went to CW immigration this week and was in and out in 30 minutes. easy.

i've used OFX, find them reliable, professional, good value

he could have capsized and banged his head, banged his head on an overhanging branch, had a heart attack... wearing a life jacket is sensible but not 100% protection from all possible incidents. without further details we don't know.

OP, you need to keep up, there has been massive corruption in the EU since it began. so to answer your question, no.

what relevance is that? if you speak french you can't be fluent in another language? i know many excellent english teachers with english as a second language, and vice versa

it wouldn't be thailand without a cloak of vagueness and uncertainty

if you don't know how to take and attach a photo with your phone either have a look on youtube or ask a younger person, that's what i do when i'm stuck.

Taking time away from her career at 28? They mean she quit? not at all, many organisations offer career break opportunities to staff. indeed, it often has the opposite effect, prevents staff from quitting.
