  1. The only place in downtown Singapore that I recognise is the Britannia Club on Beach road, and only because it is opposite the Raffles Hotel. It is now the SAF NCO's club and Beach Road is no longer at the beach but some distance inshore. Some parts of RAF Seletar are left, but not much that I recognise. The yacht club slipway is still there and the old Sunderland hangar, but 389/390 MU has gone. The village of Jalan Kayu just outside the main gate is unrecognisable now. Much of RAF Tengah is the same but the village outside the gates has disappeared. It is now SAF Tengah air base.
  2. I sent mine back via EMS and I have the date and time it arrived and the persons name who signed for it.
  3. Do a search and see what the real prices are,
  4. It is not that easy logistically to fight a war on a single front but to open a second front without having one won the first is sort of stupid Especially if that second front has a lot more allies than Russia has.
  5. Hopefully there will be far less of them and IF the PT win an overall majority, or even with a MFP coalition, ALL of the senate will be kicked out and a new senate elected by the people will be installed. Hopefully there will be NO seats reserved for the RTP, the military, the civil service or any religious body. If that goes against the current constitution, then simply tear up the 2017 constitution and substitute it with the 1997 peoples constitution, suitably amended. It is what the coup leaders do every time, so there is a precedent.
  6. And did ANY of them do any jail time at all? Which is what quite a few people want Thaksin ro do.
  7. "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!" (Sir Walter Scott, 1808). If you tell the truth you only need to remember the truth which is one thing. When you start to tell lies you need to remember each person who you told each lie too and what other lies that went with it.
  8. In reality nothing happened to them, and nothing has ever happened to ANY coup leaders since 1932.
  9. But he is NOT a tourist. Sometimes when you get older your hearing degrades and also you cannot hear the difference between low, rising, middle, falling and high tones. None of us are perfect, and as Thai is a tonal language it is hard to tell the difference between words in Thai. I am fortunate as my wife helps me out when I get stuck with Thai conversations and I am grateful for that help. Having said that, I have lived and worked in some countries where the basic language is for example, Spanish but it is different from original Spanish to the Spanish in Chile and the Spanish in Venezuela or Mexico. Then again they would be different from other South American countries.
  10. And we are proud to be old as well.
  11. And what punishment awaits the leaders of the illegal military coup which deposed him?
  12. Don't forget the lack of water and electricity. and the probability of no car and no job to go to either. Not to mention so much of your possessions stolen or destroyed.
  13. But you can talk to the call centre from the bank and play pass the phone. That worked for me a couple of times.
  14. Do you have a link for those services? Purely curiousity.
  15. You could have tried talking to the banks call centre. You will need a smartphone so that you can be on the speaker, and select which language you need, and follow the directions from there. TMB Thanachart Bank Call centre number 1428 That will lead you onto their " for this service press this number etc" You can select the English language and work from there.
  16. IIRC, KBank charge 20 baht for an out of province withdrawal. I have no idea what Bangkok Bank charges.
  17. There is a similar electronic board at my local KBank and also at the Bangkok Bank in Kamphaeng Phet. There is always somebody to sort a ticket out for me, and depending on which services I want, I just sit and read my Ebook until my number comes up and it will tell me which counter to go to.
  18. We have had to suffer Prayuth for nearly 9 years and it will go on even after the election.
  19. But it seems as though it is not 3 but 6 out of 10 who don't want Trump.
  20. Well to start with I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet as I have done since 2004 with 3 years in Bangkok before that. And I have been working in and out of Thailand since 1993. I read the rest of your post and found little truth in it and consider it a total waste of space. I ONLY speak for myself and if you think that I am "quote from your post, you are just one of them and not all are blind and hateful as you are..." you really ought to look at my past posts. Who knows you may even learn something
  21. How many innocent people did Thaksin actually personally kill. Can you explain that please?
