    i've also trekked the annupurna circuit, some years ago now, am experienced so didn't need a guide or porter. i went high, but knowing my limitations and the adverse effect the altitude was having - i was there to enjoy myself not challenge myself - i changed my route. as long as you use common sense the trails are not difficult to follow, however, you always have to be prepared to turn back if a situation dictates.

    think; the great escape
  3. it is what it is
    the preamble has been muted and focused on the negative basically because there is no football to report on yet. but, once the games get going positive interest will increase, football, while not my cup of tea, is an massively popular sport.

    20 years ago there was a disco, maybe something to do with satan or hell, free to get in and was pretty good for picking up girls who didn't want paying, at least i was never asked to pay. similar to the nana disco which was awesome for picking up girls who just wanted to hangout/sleep with a foreigner, not for money, those were great times.

    surely, it's not the crossing that's dangerous but drivers' behavior at the crossing

    thankfully, i only date educated, professional thai women, many of whom have traveled extensively, and so have never had to deal with such parochial views on life.

    come on, the OP is just virtue signaling, there's nothing wrong with not following the herd, being independent of thought and action, as long as your not harming anyone. on a separate note, what puzzles me is the pretty much 100% mask compliance, yet almost zero % sanitising and social distancing, doesn't make logical sense.

    so what are you doing on this thread?!????

    same here, apartment in bangkok, owner took are of all my stuff, i emailed every six months to remind, everything was waiting for me.

    why would you try to drive a car like that through water like that?
  11. it is what it is
    because, if you understood the uk judicial system, he's innocent until proven guilty. in certain cases, if an accused is specifically identified as a flight risk, this can happen, but to do this on a wide scale would be contrary to basic human rights
  12. it is what it is
    the consumer protection legislation, such as it is, reflects the hierarchical nature of thai society, where the 'right' rests with 'might', bigger, stronger, more influential you are, the righter you are.

    what's needed is a national donor database
  14. it is what it is
    probably wise to keep opinions to yourself until absolutely necessary.
  15. it is what it is
    there are 'difficult' roads in many countries, most people can navigate without a problem, assuming they drive appropriately to the road and conditions. suggest it's drivers/driving that are the real problem not the road.
  16. it is what it is
    i have windows and have been using VLC player for more years then i care to remember, and have never had any problem.

    horse bolted, barn door?

    or maybe not, get people to do their drinking during daylight hours and close bars when it's dark. brilliant. ????

    i recently did some vpn research and it was between nord and surfshark, both looked great. went for nord and have been extremely happy, solid connection, no drop outs, no buffering. i'm sure surfshark is as good. ps. i did my time on cheap, free vpns and they just weren't worth the hassle, a decent vpn is well worth the money for easy tv viewing
  20. it is what it is
    yup, plus saves you the trouble of having to get up off the sofa
  21. it is what it is
    check your receipt in tops supermarket for sure, prices on the shelves are often not the price at the till. i don;t know whether it's simply bad management and procedures or a scam but it happens a lot.

    he's just gone home to sleep it off, he'll be back later
  23. it is what it is
    Pattaya law enforcement and immigration have increased patrols on foreigners who may have overstayed in the city and are up to no good, so, if you're up to no good, but are not an over stayer you've nothing to fear?! ????
  24. it is what it is
    agree, there was an event on khao san road, the RTP had metal detectors and searches at each end of the road, a big, and inconvenient show, and a waste of time as khao san road could be accessed via any of the many small sois joining from parallel roads. you do wonder at the thought process.
