Buy Electric scales, count calories, With the internet it's simple and take less than 10 minutes per day. Sod that low carb rubbish

I may have missed the word "maybe" out.

But sadly no, 100% true. 2-3 years ago.

I often see seat belts but the seat covers prevent from clipping them in.

Bad Luck you say? Why does that not surprise me lol

That's almost as ridiculous as the woman where I live praying at the temple on NYE for 24 hours then driving home, falling asleep in her Volvo, ploughing into a security kiosk and killing the poor security guard that was probably asleep in there.

"Lucky she go temple. If not, she die also!"

Thanks.

What is the significance?

I see many guys, clean shaven, with about 3" of hair growing out of a mole/wart. Is this a turn on for some Thai women or something?

Didn't we do this recently?

Found it.

Thanks. I did do a search prior. "Ugly scar shoulder" provided no results.

Next time I will be less descriptive

I have seen literally hundreds of women here in Thailand with horrible looking scars on their left shoulders that protrude from the surface of the skin a fair distance, often in the shape of a rectangle.

Is this due to some botched inoculation or have they all merely injured themselves in exactly the same place?

I know how bad some of the driving can be here, I haven't driven a car here for 2 years now due to that I just don't need one.

But some of the driving I witness in my estate on a daily basis is ridiculous

School buses full of children driving on the wrong side of the road at the approach to a roundabaout because they want to turn right and can't be bothered with the extra second or two it will take to drive around it.

There is also a wide 2-way road (enough space for 4 lanes) in my estate with an off-centre security office in the middle. One side of the road has a chicane going around it.

Not so long ago they put an extra speedbump in on the approach because a woman that had been praying all day fell asleep in her Volvo, mounted the foot high curb, ploughed through the small garden and smashed into the security office killing the security guard in there.

Anyway, they also tried adding posts in the middle of the road because many drivers decide they don't want to slow down for the speedbump and instead go around it on the wrongside of the road also avoiding the chicane. A couple of weeks back a motorbike did this and hit a taxi that was doing a U-turn behind the security office.

Is that rule in effect here? Never had a driving test in Thailand so I don't know.

The amount of times I see drivers in the estate where I live just pull out of their Soi's to turn left. Very rarely look just slow down enough to get around the corner.

Also driving on the wrong side of the road to turn right at a tighter angle with poor visibility instead of continuing normally 20 metres along the road and doing it properly. What is with that?

Took me at least a year before using the bum gun full-time and quite some time after to perfect a technique that didn't require cleaning up after.

I often had problems due to not wiping my arse correctly. Nothing serious but a sore ring piece can be distracting at work.

Concerning the comment on the drains in the bathrooms. Many Thai bathrooms are designed as wet rooms. Concrete floors and tiled throughout. Squirting water all over the place and allowing it to drain away would lead to water damage in the majority of UK houses

Been back a few times since but neither of the two staff members had been working.

Went there this morning, a week later, to find both the manager and assistant there.

I gave the manager the 35B and explained my confusion and apologised.

I don't know if he understood what I said but he certainly understood what I meant.

The assistant was all smiles too after he went off to speak to her.

Job done.

Just kidding but it's good you check your receipt as there are sometimes mixups in price tags.

I actually felt stupid and quite bad about it.

The thought of it being 25B off had never even crossed my mind for some reason, until I got outside, considering it was milk, so close to it's sell by date and due to the way it was labelled. Particularly after the discount wasn't registered on the receipt.

There was no shouting or anything like that, I was polite, but I did ask, and point out several times, that the milk was 25B.

I've kept the receipt and 34.5B. I wonder how I'll get on trying to give it back

Can you just think with your head for like 2 seconds? 2 liters of milk don't cost 25b. It costs like 84b and they would put the bottle on sale at 50% off max, which means it would never cost 25b!!!

If only the shop assistant / manager had been as direct

glad you got a good result. michael is also a legend in my eyes too

thankyou for your help

Around six months ago I started taking my daughter (4-year old) to play in the park in our estate. We usually go swimming in the evening for at least an hour then I let her run around for a while before it get's dark.

There were usually between 2-4 other mothers there (I am a single father), who all know my daughter so I was quite happy for her to play with them while I just took a back seat and observed. It wasn't long before I noticed one of the boys of the group to be a spiteful crybaby full of malice. The kind of boy that if he didn't get to play with another child's toy his instant reaction would be to try and break it. The kind of boy that would deliberately try and ride his scooter into other peoples ankle's regardless of age. This boy was approxiamtely one year older than my daughter and I used to observe him hitting his "best friend". This happened several times, and was usually met with a limp-wristed slap on his hand which seemed to do the trick as he stopped hitting his friend.

Several weeks later this boy started hitting my daughter with increasing regularity. I ignored it at first as part of growing up and character building, I think he was riled by the fact my daughter isn't a cry baby and very rarely cries just for the sake of it, whereas he, most nights, would cry like a girl for the most ridiculous of things.

This scenario continued for about a week. All this time his mother just sat there being useless.

One evening this boy grabbed my daughters hair and pulled it so hard it bent her neck back, he had no intention of letting go, i could see the pain in her face before she started crying. I jumped up and shouted at him furiously to let go. I told him to make sure i never see him doing that again. His mother told him to apologize, He ran past my daughter and muttered "sorry" half-heartedly with no sincerity whatsoever.

Things didn't really change, if anything they escalated. He pulled her hair again, only this time my daugher also grabbed his. He would often hit my daughter as soon as she arrived at the park and usually once or twice more during her time there. It got to the point where I was telling my daughter to "slap him in the face". I would say this directly in front of his mother, but still it continued.

One evening Whilst we were getting changed from swimming I told her to go and play while I finished Getting changed. She commented that the boy would hit her. I told her not to worry and if he did just to come back to me. She returned within a couple of minutes. We went to the park together, I sat on the grass and she came and sat in my lap. I could see this boy about 15 yards away running towards us. As he got closer he jumped into the air and raised his hands to hit my daughter. I caught his arm and restrained myself from hurling him across the park. His mother sat less than three metres away was oblivious to this and needed to be told by her friend what had happened. I angrily told her it was ridiculous that I should sit here every night witnessing her son basically bullying my daughter as she watched on and did nothing about it. I labelled her a useless, lazy mother who may as well not even be supervising him at the park.

She reacted by telling her son they were going home, he didn't want to go, she picked him up and he started a full tantrum, kicking and screaming, while she was screaming also. It really was quite embarrassing to watch.

I phoned her husband and explained the situation and told him i wanted it to stop, immediately. I said they are only kids but there is a huge difference to the odd scuffle and persistent bullying. Their solution was instead of telling him to stop hitting her he would tell her he is not allowed to play with her anymore.

A couple of months past, I took my daughter to the park less after swimmiing. We would swim longer and play on the swings for five minutes before it got dark. I tried to keep my distance as much as possible and ensure she did to.

Yesterday evening she went to the park whilst I got changed. When it was time to go home she remarked how the boy had thrown a stone at her. It had hit her ankle and broken the skin. Nothing bad, she didn't cry and there was very little blood. I asked "what did his mum do?" "nothing" i was told.

Now this incident on it's own with any child would not really of bothered me and i would of brushed it off, but as it was this boy again I was furious. I approached his mother demanding to know what she was going to do about it. She wouldn't even look at me, she kept looking at the floor smiliing then when i walked away she would make some remark to her friends and start laughing which of course made me even more angry. I told her that if she finds it funny that her son bullys my daughter maybe i should step up my efforts to prevent it.

Upon walking away this boys football was in front of me. There was no child within 15 metres of it. I angrily booted it a fair distance into a tree. It dropped to the floor

When i returned home I immediately phoned her husband. After telling him this bullying will stop now he started calling me a fuc_king arsehol_e and a child and dared me to confront him at the park.

I immediately returned to the park and was completely suprised at the response I got.

His ignorance was unbelievable saying the previous bullying was in the past and had been dealt with (swept under the carpet more like) and how dare I kick his son's football. He basically said I should just put up with it whilst trying to put on a show of manliness which I am sure was rehearsed by having his wife pushing him back from me so as not to attack me, even though he never came within three metres of me during any point. He suggested I don't go to the park anymore. He was swiftly told to piss off even though I have no intention of going there. The confrontaion was a complete waste of time. I expected more from him tbh.

sorry this was so long but thanks for reading

Did I overreact? Should I really just turn a blind eye to all this? It's obviously what I was expected to do.

did a search couldn't find anything relevant to my situation. i have a couple of questions. thanks in advance for any assisstance

i have a non immigrant "o" visa, it expired on the 17th february. i have been to samut prakan immigration and received a 60-day extension which expires on the 14th april. is it possible for me to do a visa run to cambodia and receive a 15-day extension? for one reason or another it would be most helpful if i could leave on the 27th april.

also... songkran, how would this affect immigration offices?

thanks for reading

i wouldv'e waited for someone who spoke english to explain <deleted> was going on

do they have your passport? if not... time to leave

people suggesting you should move? lol

these security guys have a boss. find him/her and tell him/her to tell them to do their f_cking jobs.

also completely ignore her. use headphones to watch tv etc.

maybe it's just the drivers i get but 9/10 times when i have half a trolley of shopping they seem to think i want to sit next to it on the back seat.

today i got a taxi at central bang na. my daughter was asleep so the first thing i did was to get her in the car, after which i returned to the trolley to get the shopping. the taxi driver had kindly taken the majority of it (not much on this occasion), but like an idiot he put it all next to/on top of my daughter. six 2 litre bottles of milk and a few other bits. immediately i thought, whats wrong with the boot?

anyway, i get to my destination and one of the milks in the shopping, which i have put all on the floor by this time has a small leak and approximately a small mouthful of milk is on the floor. i didn't say anything, thinking to myself "tough sh*t". i took the shopping indoors and stamped his security pass.

on returning he was whinging about his floor. so i kindly got a damp cloth to wipe his floor clean myself. he was having none of it, saying i have to pay for a car wash and I should have put the shopping in his boot. i politely reminded him it was him that put the shopping on the BACKSEAT all over my sleeping daughter whereas i moved it on to the floor.

of course what followed was he tried to blame me for his fuc_k up and get me to pay for it. when i refused to pay for his mistake i was threatened with the "problem for you" speech. to which i replied " you're standing two metres away from me, make a problem for me now or <deleted> off"

he got in his car shaking his head.

i think from now on i think i will insist that my shopping always goes in the boot. it wouldn't surprise me if this was another way of sneaking money out of passengers because taxi drivers rarely put shopping of mine in the boot and it is not uncommon for liquids to have faulty/leaky tops.

btw, paying the money for a car wash was not the issue for me here...

money first, safety last.

no water in shops. sprinkle have ceased deliveries. i filled two 15 litre bottles from one of those RO UV machines. cost 30B
