  1. Not that bad for whom? I agree it's OK for the likes of me - foreign retiree with a decent pension - how about Thais who would like a decent public education system, no compulsory military conscription, freedom to discuss the Lèse-majesté laws, etcetera?
  2. Not even a single vote from the general population. Just like the PM before him.
  3. Breadmaker machines do the mixing, kneading, and baking. They just plug into a normal power outlet.
  4. It's possible to make your own yeast, but takes a bit of time to get it started. I tried it and the resulting bread was good, but I got tired of the maintenance. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/17513/no-commercial-yeast-starter/
  5. I use lard in my barm cakes. Not my photo, but mine are just as good ...
  6. Misread your OP, sorry. Thought you meant no freezer.
  7. Loads in HomePro https://www.homepro.co.th/search?ca=APP0904&q=fridge
  8. Home made leek soup (no salt) and 1 ricecake. I'm sick of this diet.
  9. I am not knowledgeable about visas/extensions but I'm wondering whether the experts can envisage a solution that involves the spouse applying for a visa and the OP being the dependent. Assuming she has a current passport and could meet the criteria. Just trying to think outside the box - don't be too harsh if I'm being stupid.
  10. Yep! And all those Thais who live and work hundreds of km from their place of registration? (working in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, etc.). They will get nothing, same as the covid handouts - people turning up in their Benz' to collect a few thousand baht while others queued for free food at the soup kitchens (provided by charities, not government).
  11. None of us are perfect parents. If you ever decide to have a family (it might be very important to your partner - biological clock and all that) simply be the best father that you can. Just like you try to be the best man, partner, friend that you can. And, having a great mother can make up for having a 'less than excellent' father, as both myself and my children can confirm.
  12. I edited my post. I'm pretty sure that operating as an illegal taxi would invalidate any insurance. But I stand to be corrected. Lots of things are pot luck in this great country. Best to have some personal insurance cover, just in case.
  13. Out of interest I just looked up (on Google) how much compulsory insurance cover one can expect if in an accident in a licenced Thai taxi. It's 30,000 baht! https://www.nationthailand.com/life/30279525 And, according to this article, official Grab taxis have (or will have???) 500,000 baht cover ... https://www.grab.com/th/en/press/others/thแกร็บ-ผนึก-ทิพยประกันภั/ If it is true that the woman was operating an "illegal" taxi, there will be zero insurance cover.
