  1. (Thanks to Theresa May signing the UK up to the United Nations proposal to make immigration human right, in December 2018.) She resigned 5 months later.
  2. 70 is plenty for me on a scooter. My first vehicle in Thailand was a Kawasaki 175 Boss (single cylinder) which I bought new in 2006. After breaking it in, it would do 127 kph downhill on the road to Pattaya - before they built the Chonbury highway. In fact, I once missed the turnoff for Pattaya and ended up having to cut back to Jomtien on the Sattahip road.
  3. I (had) thought that the 125 would be underpowered, but totally not the case. Still, I would have like to try out the Click 160, but - as is usually the case - they wouldn't let me test drive it; they are AR about putting anything on the mileometer... anything.
  4. I bought a new Click 125 just over 5 years ago. I think it was around 50 - 55k baht and a new Click 160 was around 65k, but the guy in the shop who sold me it recommended a PCX rather than the Click 160; I settled with the Click 125 and am totally happy with it.
  5. " At Derby Crown Court, the gang's "prime mover", Mark Gould, 36, was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Four other members were sentenced to between three and more than five years." (TV fraud gang jailed for illegally streaming Premier League games - BBC News)
  6. She is giving it to her boyfriend; cut her off/end it now, cut your losses and move on.
  7. Blue PVC pipes are used for both water supply and water disposal (drainage). My advice is for water supply, use the best quality/strongest pipes and for drainage, don't use the thinnest/cheapest. 2" is the right size for house drainage - don't go below this size or you will live to regret it.
  8. 1. I have a British friend who uses 400K on deposit and his pension to satisfy the "retirement extension" requirement. However, he informs me that every 90 days - as well as reporting - he has to provide a letter of proof of his pension which he needs to get from the British Embassy in Bangkok. Being as he doesn't drive - and lives over an hour outside the city, the only way he can get this is by taxi. He had a career in logistics and worked for some lucrative projects in London, China and Hong Kong, so it's a pity that he didn't save his money. 2. I myself am only on a partial UK retirement pension (that doesn't increase as everyone knows), so the 800K is my only option.
  9. most welcome
  10. I taught (English, English Literacy, Maths and Science) in a number of private schools between 2006-2018; the one thing they all had in common was that the subject of Grammar was taught by a Thai teacher... go figure.
  11. As far as I remember (15 odd years ago), any degree would get you a teacher's licence; the "education degree" was necessary to teach in an international school.
  12. Where were/are you swimming? If it is in a public swimming pool, do they treat the water; they should test it and add chlorine on a weekly basis at least. If not, stop swimming there.
  13. The only time I slip on surface is outside on tiles after it has rained (on my property), hence need to replace the tiles will something better.
  14. I reported late (9 days) and was fined 2k baht (Jomien soy 5).
  15. As far as I know, you are allowed to report 14 days before and/or 7 days after the date; if you are more than 7 days after, you will get fined at the rate of 1,000 baht/day.
  16. From Lao I guess?
