Only convenient till you lose your phone or the battery fails. Real money doesn't use batteries.

There was a guy on Fox that used to have a show and warned that government printing money out of nothing would lead to inflation. He was mocked for it, and eventually lost his show ( I presumed for being too close to reality ). Wonder if the mockers are ashamed for it now he's been proven right?

Use real money and no need for apps. I don't have one of those phones that can even have an "app" on. Never used an "app" and hope to die before I have to.

Never read the book, but saw the movie when young. Perhaps I should watch it again.

Doesn't have to be horizontal dancing. Cuddles are nice too.

I liked the Lek. Built when they made walls soundproof.

Does it have to be Cambodia? Return train to Malaysia probably cheaper, no visa fees if visa exempt.

Forum rules ( my bolding ) 3. English is the only permitted language anywhere on ASEAN NOW, except within the Thai language forum, where using Thai is allowed. Short Thai translations of technical terms are permitted in specialty forums. While we make allowances for members who do not speak English as their first language, we expect everyone to make an effort to post in a manner that allows others to understand their posts. As an international forum we have members from many countries in the world, and English is not the first language of every poster.

Perhaps he couldn't afford a visa extension.

Are you saying that the law should be ignored? If Thailand was like certain other countries he could just return on a leaky rubber boat and be welcomed, and given taxpayer largess. Thank goodness Thailand ain't one of those countries.

Considering that he and she are going the same media route as his mother, how is he "protecting" his wife? Royal family didn't kill his mother. She died in a road accident while fleeing the media that she courted when it suited her.

I'm lovin' that. I don't know whether to feel sorry for him, or think he deserves her. I remember the wedding where the couple got massive public support. Hard to understand why they blew it so badly.

Just to address a few of the points you make. the government sought foreign nurses who were happy to work in the NHS as they were being paid very much more that they were getting in their home countries I went to work in the NHS as I got better pay and more holidays than in NZ. In the last year 2000 doctors and 40,000 nurses left the UK to countries such as Australia , New Zealand and the U.S.A. where their profession is well paid and respected The nurses won't be going to NZ for the pay as NZ nurses are leaving to work in Australia where they get better wages. They may move to NZ for other reasons. I left NZ to work overseas as NZ nurses were paid very low wages and I certainly don't remember any government "respect" for nurses. Furthermore some of the NHS nurses who left , went and worked for agencies and doubled their income but ironically were then working again within the NHS as agency nurses at a huge cost to the government. At the end of last century, many Australian nurses worked in the NHS as agency nurses, but the government stopped that as costing too much, and recruited African nurses that were happy to work for low wages that were better than what they got in Africa.

If old guys want to have a beer at "breakfast" time, so what? Does it affect anyone else? Better than taking illegal drugs and causing problems all day long like youths do these days. Goblin mode is a prefect word to describe many of the youths I see causing trouble at any time of day.

Given your <deleted> posts attacking me personally, I'm extremely happy to have you on ignore.

It's not the effort required but a lack of interest in seeing anything concerning that woman. I had to mute her soon as looked at the vdo you linked to.

I'm happy for him that he didn't end up back in the US. IMO he's a hero for what he did.

Calm down, it's a forum, not the UN, and I do not have to agree with you, nor does my post have to conform to your druthers and no, I am not blaming Brexit for the long standing deficiencies in NHS management.

Excellent post. Keep 'em coming.

I'd have looked if I'd seen the comments with that link. Just not interested enough to be furkling around Y T looking for stuff.

Sand and camels in Riyadh? I had a few more years there than you, and I was rarely bored. Luckily my job was never boring- despite having to put up with some unpleasant characters, and we had a great social club. Did hundreds of interesting trips with them.

I feel sorry for you. My wife would have gone to the bar with me, or not. Up to me.

If that's an average Pattaya hotel price it's no longer a cheap and cheerful place, just a grotty town with a bad beach.

Even the rain is great. I'd sit in the covered balcony and look at it. That monsoon rain is awesome.

No sense of adventure? I always loved traveling in Thailand, but not by air.
