Thanks for this. Would the sellers transfer all my apps/details to the new phone? Would my BKK bank app transfer easily?

How does one go about it and does it cost? My son-in-law is coming for an extended stay in January.

Thanks for this, Simon. As a regular can you guide me? I have a Samsung A12 - (it must be worth something as an antique?) I need an upgrade. I just bought a 50,000 baht Bluetooth hearing aid but the necessary app won't download on such an antique. How much might a more modern Samsung cost? What are the pitfalls I must avoid?

Do you think they cared? Sarcasm goes over the heads of children.

Is this a step up from the theft of gold necklaces?

Totally agree. How many Taximeter cabs have working meters? It's bad enough in Bangkok but at least there's the odd prosecution. I can only remember one such here over 20 years ago.

They don't even police the roads.

I'll bet no charge; filling in forms is too much of a chore for Pattaya Plod. The drunk will be on the road again soon enough.

Wow - luckily I decided that 75 was too old to be driving a motorbike on Thai roads and got rid. Now I drive my car about aimlessly looking for parking spots.

Included in these figures are the huge numbers of Malaysian men who double the population of places like Hat Yai at weekends as they shop for oats.

They bang on about the proximity to the police station as if there were an aura about the building. After my motor bike was clamped, I went there to secure its release at 1.30. I wandered round unchecked for 15 minutes, calling loudly for assistance, before I woke a very grumpy cop who did the necessary.

Meanwhile on the roads the daily slaughter continues because there is no policing; even the recent helmet crackdown has died its inevitable death.

Here is the result of my Hearing test. What should I do to my TV settings to alleviate this?

Pattaya police have given up on enforcement after nearly two weeks' hard graft collecting 1000 baht 'fines'.

He can't use his passport; have they confiscated his driving licence?

I'd never open my door to someone with such a curly-whirley haircut.

Have a guess - 'Mr Thitiwut was taken into custody'.

Thai schools are businesses. Anything that might affect the amount of baht rolling in is conveniently forgotten. My son taught in a Hat Yai school and was told by the principal he could not give a fail grade to a boy who had an attendance record of 3% to his lessons in case this reflected on the school's reputation! My (then) step-daughter was interviewed for a teaching post in a Bang Saray school and asked me to exit my car parked in the playground and attend the interview. My girl was promised the job after I agreed to teach voluntarily for three half days. The offer was conditional on seeing all candidates on the short list. The offer was withdrawn the following day; we heard later the successful candidate's offer of 300,000 trumped my 39 years' teaching experience.

Why are nerds so helpful? I am overwhelmed & overjoyed at the above responses; not a single negative comment anywhere unlike every other post I have made on many of AN's other forums. Thankyou.

Did he have her permission to be out (on a motorbike) at 4:05?

of course they will.

Thank you; my guestimate was .01 wrong?

83 on October 4th.

I've read every word above as I do my BP reading daily & keep a chart on which I chronicle my weight on the 1st of each month. Also I clock when I start/finish a litre of Gin (13/14 days); how many times/when I excercise. Now my question to all those above is, about my Diastolic reading which is low. (often in the mid 60s). Today 118/68 PR 66. Aged 82.75 - should I be concerned?

Good old Doddy.
