  1. I am impressed, and you live in Thailand driving cars at 86 ? No accidents ?
  2. What about the 44 Danish soldiers and 10 Norwegian soldiers that died, do we get an apology from Trump or must he be awarded the peace prize first ?
  3. They do not exist. Maybe in Bangkok, some of the luxury condos there. Expect to pay a premium.
  4. I hope this is the end of Western leaders praising Donald Trump. Stop this nonsense and support our own country. Europe does not need USA anymore, they are not our true allies.
  5. Greenland used to belong to Norway since early Viking age , then we went into a union with Denmark and the rest is history. So the US can't claim any rights here . If you want to invade Greenland you might as well try to invade Scandinavia, we are closely connected to Greenland, and Iceland. They are our brothers and sisters. If you really want to fight us Donald you will look like the biggest idiot on this planet . You already are so make it an even bigger idiot.
  6. I have an expired Thai DL and will rent a car during my stay in Phuket, what are the odds of being pulled over? I do have my Norwegian DL but it's not in English.
  7. Someone should hand over a peace prize every time he says he solved another war. He could get 100 of them in a year.
  8. What happens if you show an outdated Thai DL if stopped . It worked last time.
  9. Buy a cheap tent and live on the beach for a week, 150 baht daily is no problem, plenty of Thai food available. Maybe even lose some weight and you will feel better. That's what I would do if I were in the same situation, I would not try to beg money from anyone.
  10. Yahoo mail is still alive, I was a bit worried there.

    Suicides is a worldwide problem. I do not believe Pattaya is any better or worse even if you read about it in the news every month. In the UK just in the last 4 weeks 2 famous men took their own life, they rarely report suicides in the UK. But it just shows it's happening on a regular basis. If you are depressed there are help available as already mentioned in this thread.
  12. Where are the sign for Russians not allowed? Would like to see that.
  13. So 99 baht breakfasts still exist in 2025? Fascinating....
  14. What is rumble , is it similar to Youtube?
  15. As a recreational poker player myself I welcome this to Thailand. We are talking about international tournaments here, not cash games so gambling addiction will not be a problem. Before I had to travel to Macau to play live poker, now we could actually ending up playing legally in Bangkok and other major cities. They will probably join the Asian poker tour (APT) .
  16. Wrong, The West's responsibility is to make sure Europe will continue to be democratic and protect our borders against the enemy , the Russian regime led by a dictator. Ukraine wants to be independent from Russia and join a democratic Europe with protected borders. Joining the EU or NATO is a long process for them but Europe got no choice, unless we want an uncertain future for our family, for the next generations. Putin tried to invade all of Ukraine, and Kyiv back in 2022 , he tried to turn Ukraine into another Belarus. We can not allow that to happen!
  17. Breaking News! Donald Trump has just won the biggest clown in the world award. Finally he will get the prize and recognition he was looking for.
  18. Only place in Pattaya where you can buy Brazil nuts, without ordering them online.
  19. Easy answer, myself and many others want to have a clear mind, without drugs in the system. I also drive a car in the crazy traffic and have my daily routines for staying healthy, they do not include tobacco or weed. Occasionally I do enjoy a glass of wine or beer. Please do not compare weed with a glass of red wine.
  20. Why are you surprised that Air India were full of Indian passengers, some of them with a British passport?
  21. balo replied to thecyclist's topic in Pattaya
    I bought a couple of training shirts there 7 years ago and still wear them, so nothing wrong with the quality. Actually I am surprised how long they last.
  22. This is just the beginning. Anyone can do this and probably get away with it. I feel sorry for the girls but unless the government actually do something this will just carry on forever.
  23. This was a surprise, anyone tried to cross the border today?
