  1. Also choose the poorest country in your VPN list to search from and you often get cheaper prices.
  2. And there you money goes! Top Tip: Reduce currency fluctuation worries and stop whingeing! Put your hard earned cash and savings into something safe next time like Twitter stocks, Weed or FTX! Just saying!
  3. Crypto is a "House of Cards" at best or "The King's New Clothes" !
  4. Coincidentally he was the only one with no cash on him!
  5. I just wasted 2 minutes of my life watching this video to the end. I just wasted another 2 minutes writing this comment. You just wasted some time reading my comment. Do you ever get the feeling that life is just a waste of time? Does anyone have the Phone Number for The Samaritans???
  6. Methinks perhaps the author of the article may have been overindulging on "Wacky Baccy" prior to writing???
  7. Now that Liz Truss is effectively surplus to requirements in the UK maybe she could get a job advising the Thai Government on U-Turns in Policy. Sure the Thais are pretty good at it already, but no one could compete with Truss for speed!
  8. I have been to Waritchapum (similar neck of the woods) a few of times to visit my GF's very extended family. It's okay for a few days as the family make us extremely welcome and there is a party every night. But there is F-All to do or see unless you like driving round endless farmland and paddy fields! She wanted me to buy her some land and build a house up there....Where have we heard that before??? We live on Samui and this is where I will stay until they take me out feet first! I suggest you move unless you want to die of Boredom!
  9. I don't normally ride Big Bikes as I live on Samui as there are few places where you can go at a decent speed so now I just have an Airblade to nip down to 7/11. But, occasionally I rent a Big Bike for a day and go round the island. I only took a Ninja 650 once and I guess it was about a 2014 model. It was powerful enough for the roads here, but it suffered from Vibration which transmitted itself through the handlebars and after only about 30K I had "White Finger" like symptoms, i.e., numbness in both hands and fingers. I believe the newer models have sorted this problem, but you are looking at an old bike.
  10. But if the plane crashed you might end up with a "Half Bee" and then you could call him Eric!
  11. Totally agree with this. The stuff in the jars is fairly mild in comparison to the powder. As a backup I have used McGarretts' Mustard Powder which the sometimes they used to have in Makro. But I bought a 16 0z (454) gram tin of Coleman's powder and still have some left after 2 years.
  12. So what happens if you need your vaccination records to enter another country?
  13. I'm a Cool Cat....But not a Feline!
  14. Beautiful!...and thank you too for sharing. I guess you are on the North West of the island?
  15. Thank you....and yes...Her name is Pest!
  16. I have lived on Samui for over 15 years. Yes it has changed, but the Ring Road has improved massively even though it is still undergoing major improvements. There are still many beaches to go where you may be totally alone (if you know where to look)....Which fortunately most tourists do not! These are views from my garden at dawn!
  17. "The wreckage of a large bronze Toyota Vigo armoured truck was found in a dry drainage ditch beside the motorway". Money down the drain?
  18. Well that could be any number of the 1.45+ Billion Chinese you would need to eliminate!...... I welcome comments???
  19. It's an "Artemis Rocket Bug"!.... We had these in our house a while ago and knowing how much Thais love eating Critters I thought of collecting them and selling them at the local market....But, when I mentioned my idea to a Thai friend he said, "That will never take off" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/artemis-moon-launch-delayed-tropical-storm-ian-strengthens/
  20. Emergency Decree.
  21. Well it's a good job you didn't catch it and die because if you did and someone tried to sell your body to medical science it would have been like trying to "Flog a Dead Horse"!....Just sayin'.
  22. SAFEST OPTION???? I only ever did one border bounce from Samui to Malaysia and back. I am an ex North Sea Diver, I have been paragliding many times, owned very fast motorbikes, etc., but the Minivan Drive to Malaysia and back scared the SH+T out of me! I sat up front with the driver who was constantly chewing Kratom! That was 13 years ago. I applied for and got my Retirement visa ASAP! Just saying....
  23. I have said it before. but it case you missed it..... Too much Monkey Business! Great Vid follows ....Chuck Berry with Keith Richard!
  24. Yeah Dude!....What's new?
  25. Agree!..... Physically for years and Mentally for ever! They never forget! And that is why so many "Mahouts" get killed by them! Just saying!
