Change to the Science Centre pool (9 lane 50m) at Ekamai. 50 baht a swim and 600 baht annual membership for everybody. When they reopened from Covid we all got a years grace on membership fees. I still go to this pool when in Bangkok. Just as an aside I live in the country now and my local pool (9 lane 50m) has no membership fees and is 10 baht a swim for everyone! Have to do a 60km round trip to visit though but I love my routine swimming exrecise so no real issue.

If they installed international standard wayfinding signage these things wouldn't be needed. -

Jeremy Clarkson says he is 'horrified' over Meghan column
damian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Many spew their hatered for Markel on a superficial level but noone seems to want to talk about the dark relationship the 'firm' has with the media and how manipulative that is. Aside from the theatrics, tears and daytime tv drama, this was the underlying theme of the doco. -
90 day report outside area of residence
damian replied to hammered's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
A little off topic for the OP but interestingly when your online 90 days reporting is in regular swing they have no idea what location you are reporting from. -

Government Hopes to Export Fresh Fruit Via Laos-China High-Speed Train
damian replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I do wish they would stop calling this completed portion in Lao 'High Speed Rail'. Its design speed is 160km/h. I would assume the freight trains would be running at around 100-120km/h absolute max but probably lower dependednt on length, weight and motive power. UIC definition for High Speed Rail is anything above 250km/h with some exceptions. Mind you anything above 70km/h here on the SRT main line is considered high speed! -

Banking crisis?
damian replied to darksidedog's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Interesting. BB told me they do not have this kind of thing when I suggested it to them after reporting some funds missing from spurious ATM transactions. Can I do it from the website (had a look but couldnt see it on the bualuang site) or do I have to go in to the branch to activate it? -
Been like that on both lines since it started. Took 45 min to Taling Chan normally 12 min stopping everywhere due to technical difficulties. No maintenance, security, care or motivation.
