Will B Good

Grim......streets are busy yet the bars, shops and restaurants are relatively empty. Lot of drug dealers, beggars and hookers of every type plying their trade on the street. Gangs of Indian males, lots of Chinese/Japanese/Arab couples and families......the type that walk about, don't go into bars and buy food to eat in their hotel room. Gone are the days of young looking, attractive bar girls, anxious to please. Some bars, the average bar girl must be well into their 40's and 50's.....and look it.

We go out 4pm/5pm......bars are sparsely populated, staff rush to serve you, always a pool table free, few if any mental patients are out on the loose, and it's cheap beer.......back home for 8pm and a good nights sleep.

If this were viable in terms of generating a 'profit' for the nation, every nation would be doing it. Having made made such a rash and stupid promise (with no detailed planning on how it would work or be funded) this is now a massive Thai face saving operation......for which Thais and expats will have to pay.

If this were true why isn't every country doing it and doing it on a regular basis? This has corruption and inflation stamped in big red letters all over it.

My money is on Middlesbrough.....need to keep that on the QT.

I always do what the wife tells me to do.......risks associated with doing otherwise are too high.

Unlike Brits, Yanks and Aussies who all conform so readily to their adopted nation's ways.....555

Wow.....long time since I sat in a theatre.......10 years?.....but everyone almost jumped to attention at that time.

When "accuracy is not a concern" everyone is a target.

????.......no 'way'.............got to get stuff like this sorted......555 Walking it's okay, but use it all the time driving around Bangkok......one turning error and you could add an hour to a 30 min journey.

Thanks....language not a problem. To also adjust the text language go to Settings > App language........is that the Phone 'settings' or Google maps 'settings'?...... All the settings for Google maps read English

Google maps, android phone, navigation/directions. Voice is set to English, works fine, but directions in text have suddenly, of their own accord, switched to Thai. How do I change the text back to English? Any instructions will have to clear and concise so even an idiot can follow them.

UK.....big mistake.

Always hated other peoples unnecessary noise.....I can listen to a pile driver or jack hammer all day......but someone else's music = red mist time

The question is....how do they all know to sit next to me?

I never recline...find it quite uncomfortable, unless lay flat.....not sure why airlines even allow seats to recline in economy.

Naughty. I resisted the temptation...555

Hence the question in the title?

True....might have been more productive than the various conflicts I/we had.

Express VPN.....never had any issues.

No money, no honey......hated every job I ever had......but I was never unemployed.

Staying Sukhumvit soi 11.......I think the bars and clubs have started these trials a little in advance of the announcement

555.....pretty close! Did have a guy, obviously quite ill, sat near us. I thought very considerate that he was wearing a mask.....until I saw he removed it every time he wanted to cough....555.

Already had my mid-morning nap. Have to wait for at least two hours for the next one.

Can't......listening to three smart phones, two games consoles and a woman complaining loudly about the noise.....555
