Arrival passengers at Suvarnabhumi International Airport 2day
it is what it is replied to anchadian's topic in Bangkok
arrived here so many times and maybe once had to wait about 20 minutes, that's the longest. arrived a couple of weeks ago, on a sunday, and waited less than two minutes. sure, there is excessive congestion at times, as there can be in any airport, but it is not the norm. -
Health benefits by quitting Coffee?
it is what it is replied to Hummin's topic in Health and Medicine
i started to have some stomach pains earlier this year, no clear cause so decided to change my diet starting with reducing the amount of dairy (cheese mainly) and coffee, stomach got better. cutting down to non or one coffee a day produced an unexpected benefit; i used to get the occasional nasty headache, since reducing my coffee intake i haven't had one. i also found i appreciate coffee more, and that a cup of tea isn't a bad way to start the day. -
Two Thai women die during a mountain trek journey in Nepal
it is what it is replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -
Does anyone even care about the World Cup this year?
it is what it is replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
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.

British man sentenced for rape in UK flees to Thailand
it is what it is replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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 -
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.

Road users advised to avoid Patong Hill Road during rush hours
it is what it is replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
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. -

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
