  1. "the prime minister admitted he was loaded with so much work that he occasionally makes mistakes" ????
  2. This is a relatively new occurrence since China went in to full lockdown. I guess sellers are losing orders if they show "delivery from overseas" (China) so are showing their "shop" to be in Thailand and even declaring items as in stock. (Which technically I suppose they are -in China!).
  3. So sorry to take up your time, you could have simply ignored the post but it may just have been useful for those who were not aware of the situation.
  4. Usually when ordering items, particularly with the problems from China, we check to see if the "shop" is local -in Thailand. Some of the shops although indicating they are local and have stock are actually taking the order and then ordering from China and you suddenly find a 4=3-4 week delivery. have not checked but guess the same thing may be happening with Lazada. Just a heads up.
  5. Seeing that latest video across the tiny table Putin comes across as a very pathetic dangerous old man.
  6. Ah, the special offers for rich very special people special roadshow.
  7. Nope, not at all offended. It does seem to be a requirement today though to be offended by race, color, creed etc.
  8. I am sure the elections will be just as free and fair as they will be in Thailand.
  9. Somebody definitely knew of the safe and the contents. And knew they were away. Should not be too difficult for plod to sort this one.
  10. Heavy downpour last night /early morning in Chiang Mai. More forecast so will definitely affect the arsonists.
  11. Try pharmacies like First Drug where the products will be much cheaper if they have them. I guess you mean Losartan?
  12. Have the same symptoms but only right toe and sole and a little knee pain. Appears to be linked to sciatic nerve and weekly massage alleviates the pain for a few days.
  13. https://www.healthline.com/health/ball-of-foot-pain If it is one foot maybe damaged nerve or tendon. Both feet see above.
  14. So a death rate decreased by just about 15 deaths over last year is an acceptable result? 278 dead? Congrats!
  15. Only 4550 deaths year to date and just over 260,000 injuries. Figures to be proud of indeed. http://www.thairsc.com/eng/
  16. And the odds on them removing test on arrival are not good. Whatever they do it is probably too late to save yet another year. Too much adverse publicity and the majority of those prepared to take long haul flights will choose other destinations.
  17. As a matter of interest are travel agents obliged to tell clients of potential problems?
  18. "The basic State Pension is usually paid every 4 weeks into an account of your choice. You’re paid ‘in arrears’, which means you’re paid for the last 4 weeks, not for the coming 4 weeks." https://www.gov.uk/state-pension/what-youll-get#:~:text=The basic State Pension is,rules if you live abroad. I guess you use your Thailand address. It could be paid direct to a bank here.
  19. A very famous (In this part of the world) Taiwanese singer. Teresa Teng
  20. My comment re reincarnation was- "Do we have to go through this again". Was it too subtle?
  21. The main reason we stay where we are is that our rent has remained the same for 9 years and we have just extended for 3 more years without the Thai landlady asking for any increase. We keep the house in good repair and general condition. Usually pay a few months in advance. The op is likely to see his tenant seeking alternative accommodation.
  22. There was a time when the traffic in Bangkok was so bad that petrol stations actually sold portable loos so you could let lose in the traffic jams.
