"Thai Chef Wins Top UK Cooking Show" Nonsense. She's not a chef. Her day job is a coffee roaster. She's a talented home cook. That is all.

The will can be registered with the local khet office (they're not called amphur in Bangkok).

Thanks for the replies. I've since discovered that Chrome does an excellent job. Far better than the dedicated editors I've tried, and the online edit services.

I need to fill in a large number of PDF forms. Document View struggles to find the input fields. Okular doesn't format the results of equations correctly, and apparently doesn't total columns. Anyone know of a good, free PDF form editor? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I don't need to pack a few boxes of masks then.

I go back to the UK tomorrow after several years away. I was wondering what the situation is with wearing masks against Covid. Is everyone still wearing them?

My online application for Chaeng Wattana has also been pending for a week. Certainly taking longer than usual.

Why single out Parmesan? Lots of cheeses are made with rennet.

Can't get "copy" to work. However (1) I don't believe the 1000 mg version is available in Thailand. (2) And I think 750 mg should have been 850 mg. (3) Glucophage is going to be a lot more expensive than local and generic brands.

Of course they do, provided it's not Muslim women providing the service. They would be classed as "what your right hands possess" - a phrase that appears 15 times in the Koran - meaning, amongst other things, that it's acceptable to rape them.

Are these the same Muslims (primarily men) that spend much of their lives stoned from chewing qat?

Very odd wording. A shrine is a place for religious worship, made holy by some object or connection to a person. The constitution is simply a man written document; there is nothing holy about it, and it should be open to being questioned and changed.

You only get that information after you've put in all the booking details. It would be helpful to know upfront what their scale of charges is for different payment methods before going through all that.

Nok Air's website has pretty much zero information about the additional charges they make for payment by different methods (and every method I've tried involves extra costs). Anyone know what the cheapest way to pay for one of their domestic flights is? Thanks.

Maybe folk would be better off without your assistance if the banks are requiring such documentation when you're involved. I've opened accounts in Bangkok with Krung Sri, Bangkok Bank, Krung Thai and TMB (as was) with just a passport.

Didn't the government mandate about a year or so ago that all hospitals publish their prices on their websites? Did that ever happen? Or are we still kept in the dark about double (or triple) pricing?

I guess you're not familiar with how Thai is actually spoken. It consistently gets the tone of unstressed syllables wrong. Not worth even a single satang.

Be more precise. What exactly is the company name? This company apparently has branches neither in Udon nor Pattaya. https://www.superrichthailand.com/#!/en/contact#branch

This would have been better posted in the Thai Language subforum. Anyway, there I identified a number of alternatives to thai2english:

In terms of transcription, the best is AUA (as used by AUA, language schools using the Union method, and many universities). It's used on the website thai-notes.com, which includes a Thai-English, English-Thai Dictionary with a "bulk lookup" feature, so one can not only look up individual words, but also whole sentences. There's also Haas' Thai-English learners' Dictionary, and an Etymology Dictionary. There's also a tool that transcribes Thai. https://thai-notes.com/ https://thai-notes.com/dictionaries/predictionarysearch.html https://thai-notes.com/dictionaries/haas.html https://thai-notes.com/dictionaries/etymdict.html https://thai-notes.com/tools/thai2ipa.html thai-language.com also supports this transcription, though you have to turn it on under Site Settings http://thai-language.com/default.aspx?nav=control There's the main dictionary at http://thai-language.com/dict/search The "dumper truck" icon turns on "bulk lookup".

The official spelling (Royal Institute Dictionary) is ฤษี. Spelling #2 is a nonsense. Pronunciation, /rʉ́ˑsǐi/.

Poor site with terrible transcription. There are much better options out there. In my opinion, won't be missed.

Something to do with Covid not having gone away? Not wanting to get sick or die? Plus, I'm expecting to make a return trip to the UK where 6,307 people were admitted to hospital in England with Covid in the last week. Doubtless many, many times that number were sick with the disease. (England has a cavalier attitude to Covid. Hardly anyone wears a mask these days, taking the former bozo Prime Minister as their role model.) Source: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

I received the bivalent Pfizer vaccine in my local district government health clinic in Bangkok on Friday. They jab a maximum of 20 people per day on a first come, first served basis. It was free. (And though I'm feeling a little bit achy, I feel much, much better than I did after my last, Moderna, jab. which really knocked me for six.)

I was skeptical when I read this, but The Independent confirms it: https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/manchester-tourist-tax-visitors-hotels-b2308640.html According to the article, Edinburgh appears to be next, with a charge double that of Manchester.
