  1. This seems to get reported quite often, one airline will refuse and another sees no problem. Usually the damage is almost invisible
  2. Reminds me of when we moved in to this house and had an 'electrician' installing a shower. Told the mrs to tell him to make sure it was earthed, he wanted to know what that meant!
  3. Few and far between here, especially electricians. We helped the Mrs brother through college to become an electrician a few years back. He seemed clueless when we asked him anything about electrical problems and ended up working illegally in Korea.
  4. Rubbish, only worth anything if uncirculated anyway
  5. Well they promised 10k baht bribes for votes, then lost-so pay up, inflation to follow!
  6. Best kept away from, nothing but pests
  7. Bitten by dogs three times, how did you manage that?
  8. Just keep well away from dogs especially, never touch the filthy things in the sois, or feed these vermin.
  9. We helped an American guy do it at Samut Prakan. They said his TM30 printout from the hotel was not enough, they wanted the receipt from the hotel detailing payment. He had 4 forms to fill out, my Mrs did it all for him as being his first visit he was a bit lost. Being a black guy he had some sad stories of the way he had been treated here and said it was a bit like Georgia in the 60's.
  10. Spent 5 days in Angeles in 1998, cherry girls, scammers and pay up front then do as little as possible, if at all. Blackouts and a stink from a pig farm near the Woodlands resort, horrible never went back. Pattaya was little better, apart from being on the coast and no pig farm.
  11. Who writes this rubbish? How can getting 34% of the vote be an 'immense achievement'? They only won by default as the Tories were a total failure, it was a vote against them rather than a vote for Labour.
  12. If the cash is taken out and spent how can they tell what it's spent on, or even who spent it? impossible. If it's a gift it can be spent on anything the giftee chooses
  13. Never ever seen them going after mosquitos, they are usually in the rubbish bin or <deleted>ting down the walls. I kill them any chance I get, hate the little bastards.
  14. Music, the rest is of no interest, luktung, lukrung, morlam, kantrum, ramwong etc that's why I am here
  15. Vile they are, Brooke or Watties beans from NZ are far superior, also some Italian ones in Tops.
  16. I don't think it's possible to tarnish the reputation of Pattaya, attracts the worst type of foreigners and Thais. Despite the decades of pretending to develop it into a family resort, or 'top tourist destination' it remains famous worldwide as a town with thousands of prostitutes and tacky bars. As such it's full of crime, greed and scams.
  17. Went to a concert at a school in Klong Toey 3 years ago, all the teachers were patrolling the crowd of kids with big sticks, one or two got a whack, and justified. 'Oh no it's never justified to hit a child', it is when they are being little bastards!
  18. We are still waiting for the 'tax reduction' on wine to hit the shops!. They can't add much fruit juice as the strength remains the same, maybe just a drop or two?
  19. Just stayed in a BKK hotel near Rama 2, never even asked to see my passport, bit annoying as took it and could have left it at home.
  20. Not if you bring cash in with you it wont, $20k would last me two years
  21. Good thrashing is in order, if that does not work special needs school for the mentally disabled, or is it mentally different or challenged these days?
  22. Lemon slices with salt, saw it on YT expected it not to work but it did.
  23. I think so the last time I looked,
