I know what you are like. That is enough.

I know there are many normal couples that are dedicated to each other. I was referring specifically to the poster I quoted.

There are just annoying themselves. There are always those who try to place the blame for their hatred and irritation on things outside of themselves. There are those who express hate for other foreigners. But it's really mostly just their inability to adapt. Reflections of themselves. Indeed the noisy bikes can be a distraction, but that's what they love. Live and let live, as long as you don't harm anyone else. As you say, it's a privilege. Treat it like that and reap the benefits.

How can tattoos annoy you? That seems weird. I cannot state that I meet any smelly 'farangs'. Where do you meet them? Stray dogs are cool 😊 Are you? Loud motorcycles are fleeting. Are you following them around? 😊

How do you think that people view you when you are with yours? Do you think they imagine that it's a genuine relationship or a transactional one? I would say that everyone would assume the latter.

He was actually the drummer in a band back in the day. So you might see him play every now and then. Good to hear he's still doing his thing.

I don't think Booking.com kept anything. Likely the exchange rate charges of their payment method and/or movement of the exchange rate.

I thought that you stated that it doesn't work....

You called them months ago. Call them again on the number given to you. It cannot be that everyone else is wrong.

Incorrect. it's 5 baht per minute and you still haven't followed up with AIS on 1175 to find out why 003 44 191 218 7777 doesn't work for you, as it works for others. Perhaps do that before starting yet another thread on the same subject and then come back with what they say with regard to 003....or just subscribe to the 159 baht package which will give you 40 minutes of calls to the U.K. https://www.ais.th/en/consumers/package/international/international-call/003

Just call them. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i544504578-s14610174233.html Check with the vendor beforehand, that anyone can register a Myanmar SIM, rather than just someone with a Myanmar passport. If they think it's okay, then order it, top up with say 100 baht and then dial 00600 44 191 218 7777. 1 baht per minute.

No problem, no challenges. https://www.dtac.co.th/en/esim/faq-esim

If you need one for immediate use on arrival; https://www.klook.com/activity/91190-esim-thailand-qr-delivered-via-email/ It's just a discounted DTAC Tourist SIM 50GB over 10 days for 175 baht. Happy Tourist 349 eSIM 349 Baht 10-day Unlimited Internet 50 GB at Max Speed 50 GB at Max Speed Free 15-baht credit Unlimited call within network in Thailand Free 30 min for call to India, South Korea, Vietnam Free chat for 5 applications Special rate for international call via 00400 If the reception and speed is good enough for you, you can tack on a longer lasting Max Speed package(within seven days of eSIM activation or you miss the period to add certain promo packs), of say 100GB per month for 400 baht. If 15 Mbps is enough for you, a Marathon pack with 90 days of up to 15Mbps for 650 baht, with a 100GB per month limit. But if you aren't happy with the performance of DTAC, you can try out AIS or TRUE, as you'll be in country. They all have similar packages, but you might have better performance dependent on location and your device.

I see the racist and misogynist keyboard warriors are out in force today...

Not quite the same. There was a goal. a purpose for both of you. Not just handing over money in exchange for her companionship.

A directive to sell bundles of useless calls and data to foreigners, rather than just the plain vanilla SIM they might want. TBH, I haven't looked at what they sell there in 7-11. I don't know if they sell Tourist SIM and might not want to sell you a Myanmar or Cambodia SIM if you aren't from those places. You might be able to buy one online and then register it: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i544504578-s14610174233.html But as you can see, the price creeps up that way.

I think that you might be confused. That clearly states Pay Monthly, so it isn't PAYG.

That's life...from Indoor swimming pool with a slide, swings etc...to a burner phone. I understand about the 12p now. So, with no Smartphone, your options are limited. You can still create a VoIP account to make calls with your 'burner'. You'll be charged for both parts of the call. In your case it would be a total of 2.5-3p per minute. Thailand rate of 2.5p per minute, plus U.K rate of either 0.5p for landlines or 0p for Freephone. That's 1.1 baht to 1.3 baht per minute. For this you would need to sign up with https://www.localphone.com/ and choose to use their Dial Online or Callback service. It works by you telling them the number that you want to call. They will then call you on your burner phone and connect you to the number you want to call: https://www.localphone.com/services/dial_online With this option, you initiate the call from your PC https://www.localphone.com/services/callback With this option you initiate the call from your burner phone. Nothing to pay from your phone credit. The cost will come from the Localphone top up balance. I fear it might seem a bit complicated to you. The only other reasonably priced alternative, if you imagine it will be a long call and there being a possibility of having to call again, is to get a backup TRUE Move H Tourist or Myanmar or Cambodia SIM. With any of those, you can utilise the 00600 calling service for 1 baht per minute. The difficulty would be getting your local 7-11 or TRUE service centre to sell you one for 49 baht. NOT DTAC nor AIS. It has to be TRUE.

I meant the school playground. We didn't have swings. Did you have swings? What school was this? I'm feeling underprivileged.

What phone do you have exactly? Can look into what other avenues are available to you. Even if you buy a call package from AIS, it will still cost you 8.4p per minute.

Are we back in the playground now? 😊

That's the ticket, good humour. I'll let you off this time. But 12p per minute can add up if you are waiting in a queue for someone to answer. Better to sign up with a VoIP service and to use the Freephone number. I just tried it using a VoIP service. Connected at no charge.

Perhaps your 003 service hasn't been activated. Perhaps user error. Have you checked with 1175 if you can use it? I just tried it with my AIS phone. It worked. You owe me 5.35 baht due to your inability to make the call yourself.
