4th! These people, like me, haven't done their homework. This perfect place to retire freezes your State pension (mine hasn't moved in 15YEARS!) Chiang Mai is the Lung Cancer Capital of the World. Koh Samui's strong sense of community means their taxi mafia now rivals Phuket/Pattaya.

90+% of Thai politicians (who are mainly male) have the genetic self-important trait of over-weening presumption and richer-than-thou trait.

On both of the long flights there was insufficient room in the overhead lockers. I had to travel with my carry-on between my legs - aged 80, this gave me excruciating cramp. The cabin crew shrugged their shoulders, too busy SELLING alcohol at Vintage Champagne prices! Take-off from Manchester was delayed by over two hours despite there being only a 2 hour gap before my final flight from Helsinki. Despite my complaints I was merely offered points in a flying club that I will never ever use with that airline. I was totally vindicated by an email received two weeks ago in which tight controls on carry-on luggage were announced by Finnair.

mainly due to Electioneering vans grinding traffic to a standstill whilst they broadcast a message that no one can hear.

All of which get attacked by the local Taxi Mafia for venturing on to their turf.

its efficacy.

anything. He obviously didn't offer the going rate.

Agreed IF it is made widely available. We must wait to see if Anutin can make any money out of it 1st.

The Thai idea of drainage is a number of chambers which overflow into the next & so on down the line. For nine months of the year they are part full of stagnant water providing perfect breeding grounds for the 400 eggs each female can lay.

To where? The Inactive Post building is full. a couple of months down the line all will be forgotten by the Senior Goldfish of RTP.

Suspect it was the latter skill that enabled her multiple promotions.

Job opportunities abound for those with: no Maths skills; a fertile imagination; sleight of hand when juggling money; their own pair of rose-coloured glasses.

Must have A/C; places to hide away from doing any work; opportunities to scorn potential customers; no English required except 'No have'.

Time for another flip-flop. 'he tried telling me to go park elsewhere, as if he owned the damned road.' SOP here; I've had scratches down my car; nail in my tire; verbal abuse for daring to park on public roads. There are Youtube videos of the vet opposite Tops on Kao Noi who gets apoplectic if you park in front of his premises.

Let them eat Cake.

Beats my previous best by a complete minute.

The two arms of the law here: The Win and Pattaya Plod. I know which is the more efficacious.

Hmnn - that's a hard choice; let me think about it.

Sri Lanka would not let me use their own currency in their capital city's airport. So got ripped off by money changers on my 1st/last ever visit there. After my horrendous Finnair trips last year, I'm not surprised Thais won't travel there; I won't ever again.

Thank you so much for this link. Very useful. Singapore/Emirates look to be my best bet for my daughter's wedding May 2024. (About 40K) After my dreadful experience with Finnair last year I will NEVER use them again.

Neither of which he did; he was too busy writing his Opus Grande AKA list of medicaments.

Why didn't the police check his mother's house 17 years ago?

All signed by Prayuth.

IBS is the standard go to for Thai doctors when they haven't a clue which is 90% of the time. After that STD is the next most popular diagnosis. A Pattaya hospital said my GF's EAR infection was caused by a sexually-transmitted disease. I pointed out we'd been together 24/7 for four years and I was untroubled health-wise. I bought her a new pair of earbuds for her phone and lo' I cured her within a couple of days.

Forewarned is forearmed. Standby for a massive currency transfer to Dubai.
