Indeed, when I was in school the doomsayers were warning about a mini ice age that's going to come in the next 10 years or so, it will freeze everything, make everyones lives untolerable and last for a hundred years. That's what they taught me as a child. They absolutely lied and as we all know the climate is never unchanging - I am skeptical about what 'they' say because I've been lied to all my life, even my teachers at school were getting in on it. They probably didn't know any better as they were merely simple teachers reading from a script written by the prognosticating professors at the universities.

Four People Rescued After Falling Into Well in Thalang, Phuket
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
This scenario often doesn't end 'well'. They're lucky there was enough air down there or they would be pulling up 4 bodies plus any other rescuers who followed who didn't take their own air with them. I read a story of about 5 dead once after a child fell into a well (was in Cambodia I think), all the people who attempted rescue died as well. -
I just use my mothers address which has been working well for a very long time and it is my official address in the UK. However that won't last forever (she's getting old) and I do plan on swapping over to an offshore account at some point. When I do this, perhaps next year I will likely transfer my Lloyds account to Jersey.

Is it time to increase the prices by another 100%....again? -
Thailand is on a list maintained by the Chinese government - it's not a good list. There's some very weird stuff happening over the last few months : It's not clear if this is nationwide or just in a handful of places...... "Local police stations are carrying out strict review processes for people leaving China, particularly if they're going to Thailand, Cambodia or other Southeast Asian countries," Read this : https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/travel-restrictions-02202023160935.html

Thailand Post to Launch Full-Scale Digital Mailbox Service
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'm still wondering exactly what this is and what it would be used for? Will the post office be printing the mail on behalf of the customer and physically delivering it? Edit: It appears to be some kind of email system. -

Perhaps they should openly court Chinese or Russian alternatives if they really think they need them. -
China Willing to Resume Talks on New Panda for Chiang Mai Zoo
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
China owns all the pandas and they use them like they use any other resource they control, tourism for example. They will extract as much as possible from the government before they send a new panda.- 1 reply

Almost £42 for a quiche lorraine!
ukrules replied to phetphet's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Indeed, one way to avoid any nonsense like this is to not even look at the prices as you shop. Just load up as you walk around and pay the total when you check out. The reciept will no doubt be in Thai so you will never know how much each individual item costs and so long as you don't spend more than you can afford - does it really matter how much individual items cost ? ???? -
