  1. One of wifeys friends recently went on a Buddhist pilgrimage group tour to India for a couple of weeks. On return several of the group were sick and tested positive for covid so maybe India needs to put it's own house in order first.
  2. Which begs the question how come the Thais realised the seriousness of the fire thus offering their assistance, before the Cambodians who were directly on the scene?
  3. "As the fire started spreading through the structure, with the first three floors being a casino and upper floors a luxury hotel with over a hundred rooms, the Thai side offered to help extinguish it but Cambodian immigration officials refused entry." Twenty metres from the border and Cambodian Immigration Officials refused help whilst people roasted alive. One word for this type of jobsworth and that's <deleted>.
  4. "The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is meanwhile urging service providers to charge foreign tourists similar rates to what locals are required to pay." Start with the National Parks then, easy fix.
  5. Good to see three of the cops taking cover behind their fat mate.
  6. So you're allowed to ride up the mountain but not allowed to ride down again. This level of idiocy is only attainable by a black belt moron.
  7. Only if the current bunch of usurpers steal another election.
  8. Fantastic news for those owed money for flights cancelled by Thai nearly 3 years ago, must be due to be repaid very soon right?
  9. Now there's the look of a man feeling the first stirrings in decades.
  10. Maybe somebody has a good suspicion of who is going to win the next election.
  11. Wifey, Thai, gets the same problem with our local Kerry courier. He calls, hangs up after one ring and immediately hangs up when wifey returns the call.
  12. Our recent service from Kerry has definitely gone down hill in the last few months. Delivery times have lengthened and we have experienced non delivery despite the tracker indicating our parcel was to be delivered that day. Yesterday the delivery man was rude to my wife over the phone when she explained why we were not at home and asked why was our parcel not delivered the previous day as indicated it would be by tracking. Maybe it is a local problem but it definitely puts me off using Kerry in the future if there are other delivery options.
  13. I had a Lazada return about a year ago and the process seemed pretty straightforward at the time. If memory serves me right there is an option to add a picture of the item in the form.
  14. Virtually the whole Western world has imposed sanctions on the Russian regime. Europe in particular has cut off Russian energy supplies. To pin them specifically as Biden sanctions is just plain wrong.
  15. Good luck somebody was on hand to take some pics before helping the old boy out of the mud. I'm seeing zero, seven and a five.
  16. Oh dear, how sad, nevermind.
  17. There is zero excuse for this litter not to be picked up and recycled. One of wifeys friends and her husband runs a very successful outdoor movie and entertainment business. After the show they organise for the site to be cleared and the recyclables taken away. Easy money, at a recent show they earned an extra 20k bht just by organising the clearing away of the rubbish and cashing it in.
  18. A so called democrat joins a party created to further the agenda of the coup makers. Contemptible self interest at it's finest. Is there actually a Thai word for integrity?
  19. It was a suggestion for the rate that could be offered a reduced number of days worked. Casual labour is a minefield to negotiate in Thailand and I have never come across a contract drawn up for days off, employers absence etc. Is it fair? Absolutely not. Will casual employee rights improve on a widespread basis? Never in Thailand.
  20. 16k for 20 days a month, if she works 10 days how about 8k a month wage?
  21. So you know all about events of 14 years ago but nothing about the current Govt? Just to enlighten you, in Thailand staging a coup is illegal.
  22. If it's available I buy it as my Triton seems to run better using it.
  23. Pistols at dawn for the team managers.
  24. Hmm, paid Shopee through my banking app a mere 2 hours ago.
  25. Only fair if the coup makers and their string pullers are in the adjacent cells wouldn't you agree?
