  1. I dont need to say anything - my Avatar speaks for me.
  2. Thanks but I am still curious - how do they know what the ATM charge is? The ATM charge comes out of your transfer from your overseas bank account. There is not two transfers - or is there. When did you last do it?
  3. It is not going to be that way - they are proving exactly what you and I are saying - they are inferior. For the soy boys listening that does not mean your Mum - it means on average women are not as capable as average males. I was pretty good at tennis decades ago, but Serena Williams would have smashed me. But Serena herself said the top 100 male players would beat her, and Andy Murray, Djokovic and others in top 20 would beat her 6-0 6-0 6-0. She was attacked of course by the woke media and pundits, but to her credit she just laughed at them and said they are wrong. This applies in all things and all sports - and it applies in mental capacity things like Chess, Cards, Gambling, and also in business and politics. Equal rights yes - but they are overall not equal. This is what feminists are really like - and many women are walking away from it and even calling them out. And this is the biggest danger to women and it is coming whether they like it or not. If you think the pill change things - and it did - we have not seen anything like what this is going to do. There is a reason a lot of older Expat men live in SEAsian countries - and mainly it is the women and secondly it is the lack of a nanny state mentality about how people live their lives. The women are slim, feminine and know how to look after a man, a family and their home. And they do not see that as in anyway demeaning or subservient - they have old school values and believe men and women have different roles in life. They are like women were in the West before feminism and the 'equality' activists destroyed their common sense and filled their minds with delusions.
  4. Can I ask how? The local bank takes the fee out of the money they take from the international bank before giving the balance to you - it is not a separate transaction - they do not take out 2 separate amounts. Maybe you make a claim and get a refund? I am interested - have heard this before - how do you get refunded?
  5. Could not have said it better. For the soy boys that do not understand - Alpha males ARE in charge.
  6. Interesting music that you like - perhaps those balls will never drop. Thanks for the good weekend wishes - it has not been a good start so far - but golf should be good. The 'bad' start is actually something you would like. I downloaded and watched the latest Superman movie last night (despite the bad reviews) - and it was right up there in your woke beta male world. After Lex Luther have reaped havoc destroyed half a city and killed many people (spoiler alert), and was captured and his plans all destroyed, Superman gave him a good talking to and he cried. I kid you not - Superman now gives lectures to evil people - it was clearly written by woke gender studies graduates. And Superman has a female cousin (Supergirl) who appears briefly at the end. However the good news is that the movie bombed so the obnoxious entitled narcissistic Supergirl girl-boss movie they planned will probably not get off the ground - hopefully. Have a great day/life - over and out.
  7. I recently did a comparison from Australia and Wise are the cheapest. But Bangkok Bank are slow - did a transfer of 10K to Bangkok and 10K to Krungsri - sent both at the same time. Bangkok took 2 days and Krungsri less than 10 minutes.
  8. I think Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn Bank, and Siam Commercial Bank will always be OK. Right now Wise can only transfer over 50K Baht to those 3 banks - up to 2 million baht. But for the others they can only transfer 49.9K Baht (under 50K).
  9. Then go away and meditate by yourself and leave us alone to have a whinge. PS - there is a reason (one of many) why Thai males suddenly explode and commit very violent acts. They are always suppressing their feelings and thoughts because to express them would cause a loss of face - so they smile and take it in. That is bad - ask any psychologist - it is far better to let out a bit of steam and 'vent' than to suddenly explode when it becomes too much. It is a far better society where the males can say (in jest) ' what a load of khrapp - where the hell did you get that rubbish from' (the accepted reply to that is 'from your mum'). And things like 'hey grumpy, how the hell are you going you old bast^^d' (the accepted reply is 'I resent that word old').
  10. How could you guys say it is not real. You surely know they count everyone who walks across the land borders as a Tourist do you not. Whether coming for a job or to see family - arrivals are all tourists. Obviously there has been a huge increase in the numbers of land crossings lately - especially from Cambodia
  11. Understand - how about this - only posts started by Thaiger get on the topics list. I have absolutely no interest in participating in 'how much should you pay a girl if you stop her working' NOR '7eleven' which has 0 responses so far. Other posts listed in 'latest posts' or 'popular' are OK. But please top of the page topics exclude the 'fanatics'.
  12. I will not apologise for being an alpha to a simp/cuck or anyone - the only correct thing you said was 'old'. Keep an eye on that back door mate - blokes like you encourage 'straying'. And remember me when they drop - and feel no need to apologise - we all learn one day and some take a lot longer than others. See you around - not - I dont buy Starbucks decaf oatmeal/soy lattes and go to musicals.
  13. Excellent advice - most 'speed tests' only test best case download speeds - they are supported by the carriers. Testmy.net gives a true and accurate result at that time and on that day across all networks (not just local). Download speed always varies depending on baseline load - especially on overseas networks.
  14. Yep - as I suspected you are getting 200 Mbps not 200 MBps. One day in the future probably but that is a long way off.
  15. I hope the Court does the right things - sacks the idiot child, and puts Thaksin in jail for 6 months. Not holding my breath though - money can get just about anything here in Thailand.
  16. I have an idea. Thailand creates an informal secret 'Falang Group' only known to the senior levels of the Thai Govt and the member's identity protected under national security NDA laws. Then whenever any Thai official comes up with a 'brainwave' they must send their idea to a special non-traceable email address first - immediate dismissal if not complied with. Then all the replies and responses to the idea are quietly and privately (no loss of face) conveyed to the official who made the idea. This would cut off at the knees all the idiotic braindead ideas that Thai officials seem to pull out of thin air (or more likely their rear ends). Example Falang Response - are you effin insane - Cambodians will make more, and local Thais and Cambodians will search for them and get killed or injured - you absolute donkey brained idiot. Example Feedback - Thank you Somchai for your excellent idea, but at this time the Govt is going to try another method to solve the problem you have so generously provided a great and excellent solution for. Your thoughts are very much respected and valued and we hope you will continue to provide us with more of your ideas to make Thailand and its People happy, prosperous and live wonderful lives.
  17. No. They can enter (by force if need be) if they have reason to suspect a person who is engaged in a criminal activity is inside, or if they believe a wanted person is inside. They need an arrest warrant to force entry if they dont have either of those two 'just causes' - suspicion based on neighbours is generally not enough. Living illegally in Thailand (expired Visa etc) is a crime - if there is a foreigner at an address that is not listed with the local Immigration Police, they can enter by force if need be.
  18. Hi - there are several rabid political and war focussed people that I have absolutely no interest in seeing what they write. However, whenever I start the home page their posts are shown under 'popular now' and 'featured forum'. Or more to the point, posts from people I want to see and read what they have to say are not shown because those lists are dominated by the 'radicals'. Any chance of a tweek to change those lists ?? Cheers - Grumpy
  19. Do you mean Mbps - Mega bits per second. Because MBps is Mega Bytes per second (8 bits in a byte). The average data download speed for a 5G network is 150-200 Mbps. 200 MBps - is that even possible over a mobile phone? I have 3BB fibre to the house and the most we get is 900 Mbps at the router and 280 Mbps over WiFi.
  20. Whatever unlimited data SIM you can get - it is a great idea if/when you travel in Thailand. Hotel WiFi is often poor and a massive security risk. Starting using the annual unlimited data SIM over 2 years ago - much cheaper than any monthly plan and better speed and more data. We stream movies and sports when travelling using the DTAC annual SIM data plan. The usual speed is 6 to 9 Mbps and most streaming services work fine. We use NVidia Shield via Hotspot to phone and HDMI cable to the hotel's TV - works great.
  21. That is the mentality of the sicko lefties right there. We (rational logical moral conservatives) have been fighting against your type of lunacy for decades - and we are winning - big time.
  22. ROFLOL - your ignorance and petty feminist insults are a joke. What is sad ........ bla bla bla 😅 .... taken advice from him about sustaining a relationship 🤣 Only a woke feminist talks like that. Remember me that day in the future when you suddenly grow a pair and realise 'that bast*** was right about women. I will end with some more advice from an old bloke to someone that needs to learn about women (or is one). Here is an example of the <deleted> men are forced to deal with in the West - Google the term ‘spoiled princess bitchface’ and this is what you get :- The term "spoiled princess bitchface" is a derogatory and offensive phrase used to describe a young woman perceived as arrogant, entitled, and unpleasant. But Google ‘arrogant misogynist’ and you get lots of examples of males being <deleted> - especially Andrew Tate. Why the difference?? Where are the examples of the princess bitchfaces - there are literally millions of them in the West. Women in the West are protected and spoilt - men are criticised openly and downtrodden - it started in the 80s/90s and is now ‘taught’ in schools. There is a best selling book called ‘The Princess Bitchface Syndrome’ - it is a fact that many teenage girls in the West become nasty spoiled bitches. The problem these days is that they dont all grow out of it and change to the real world - they demand the real world changes. When Western girls are at school there is bullying and harassment of the weaker girls that it is much much worse than what boys do to each other. People like you have no idea how hard it is being a vulnerable girl (or a gay) in school - that affects people's lives a lot. The answer was not to give them advantage and DEI - it always was and is to stop the bullying. Criticism of females was suppressed not to stop the bullying, but because the feminists took over and implemented changes that were targeted at tearing men down. They never wanted equality - they wanted to tear men down - gender studies is nothing more than academically blaming men for all the problems that women have. Males are now 'not allowed' to say publicly any criticism of girls (or gays) - it is just 'not allowed' - hence our exchange. Why do you care so much - why dont you just go 'whatever' and ignore it. Because you think and feel deeply that what I am saying is wrong - but you have not proved me wrong in the slightest - you have merely stated that I am not allowed to say those things - not because they are wrong - but because they are not allowed to be said. Here in Thailand the men are in charge and all that woke progressive bull<deleted> was ‘denied entry’ - by both the men and the women. The young girls here are not spoilt and over-protected - they are brought up with reality and taught to be both independent and to be respectful to men and their elders. They are brought up NOT to be a spoiled princess bitchfaces and because of that bullying in schools here is a rare things. Likewise, how the boys and girsl here are brought up is the base reason why gays are accepted. Not the Western sicko gays that are males with beards wearing a dress, but males who are gay here live as females and are accepted. They have it right here - they do not have that PC woke feminist BS poisoning their minds - they rejected it many decades ago and they will continue to reject it.
  23. It is slowing down and coming to an end. The beginning of the end of their 'reign' ended with their creation of 'gender studies' which spawned the trans travesties. It was inevitable that the women's 'movement' went too far and that was their step too far. Notice that none of the feminists came out and protected the females who were being beaten up by males in a dress? The women noticed that too and being non-confrontational by nature, they have started to just quietly walk away. Your fear that women will take over and need to be stopped from voting is unfounded - they are not capable of taking over. I think it is an old Chinese saying that women have been trying to prove they are equal for thousands of years and that they have failed proves they are not. Have you not noticed how much happier and feminine (and slimmer) Asian women are than the Western women we are talking about. Asian women have understand and have accepted their place - and yet many of them get to high positions in life - invariably earned through merit (current Thai PM aside). The Asian women rule the house and the family and the men do as they are told - they are the boss at home and the old Grandma rules the whole family - that is the way it should be and how it all works best.
  24. What is really sad is that your woke and virtue signalling silliness is unknown to yourself. Take a read of my posts again - I am saying that women should not be excluded from voting. Then when you realise that fact - have a deep think about your own mentality that would make you get that completely wrong. I doubt you will be man enough to admit your mistake - or is that an example of misogyny to say something like 'man enough' - when it is a truism that applies only to men and if you dont know that you are not a man (yet?). There is nothing sad about the end of the BS woke progressive mentality that has been dominating society. Men cannot be women and vica versa - and men are better at everything than women - except for those things I have stated where women are far better. If women were as good as men in doing all things there would not be separate sporting competitions, and women would be at least half if not more of the top levels in chess, car/bike racing, cooking, architecture, engineering, science, and all he other non-physical things. But they are not and dont bother trying to prove me wrong because you cannot - you can say what I am saying in not PC - but that cancel culture is coming to an end as I said. Me thinks you need to read up about Norah Vincent, a gay female journalist who lived as a man for 18 months, documenting her experiences in her book - Self-Made Man. Then you should watch the film "Red Pill" which stars Tonya Pinkins as Cassandra who is also the writer, producer, and director of the movie. They both learn first hand the true situation with regards to 'the male enigma' and how feminists have falsely exploited things. If you have enough heart and brains to get through those two things, you will understand what those women learned - that they actually lead very privileged lives (women in the west - not poor 3rd world women). Being a man is both a gift and a curse - and only someone that truth and understanding can understand that our superiority exists for only one reason - to provide for and protect women - and that is what a good man understands and accepts. If you are with a woman that does not need nor want you to protect and provide for her, then I strongly suggest you need to make a change (in her and/or in yourself).
