Actually you may be spot on there.A plea bargain for Baboo as he had to get his supply from somewhere? He knew of an there was more on the way. Makes a lot of sense.The price of dummy dust will increase for the next little while. He knew there was a shipment due and voila,

"I couldn't work unless it was for a foreign company carrying out a major contract in Thailand and I was classed as a key worker" Years ago I worked for Amerda Hess O&G outside Udon as 'Foreign" contractor Safety Officer. I also worked for Chevron briefly offshore in the Gulf. They looked after all the work permits etc. Those jobs are all gone these days. The good old days.Maybe some specialist gigs available but that's about it.

I recall we took the Victory Liner to Subic/Alongapo for 2-3 days a few months after Mt Pinatubo blew.

Back in the day a small group of us booked a 2 week vacay to the PP looking for p4p and found it in Ermita district.We also found it very dangerous and and generally an uncomfortable rip off everywhere. After 1 week we rebooked our tickets back to LOS and never looked back.

I was afraid you would ask. 555...I can't find it on Lazada anymore...maybe you get what you pay for. I bought about 4 of those very cheap ones before the light came on.

I had a similar on from them.They last a couple months max. I spent about 600 b and its still working after a year...

Good one..my Canadian bank offers free international transfers...wait for it... but at their <deleted>ty ex rate and upon checking it costs about $60 to transfer 2k. bustards. Wise for me these days..12-15$ same transaction.

Excellent question,,THB vs USD..I didn't know either...here's what I found.. "If you have the chance to pay in local currency or US dollars, always choose local currency!" "the merchant will charge you what's called a Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) fee" Now we both know..great to know.

Back in the day I lived aboard my 30 ft sailboat near Nanaimo,BC on the west coast for a year. It was lovely during the spring,summer and fall.During winter the ice and snow took away the romance. But it was a pussy magnet in summer.

Actually I quit drinking 8 months ago and don't miss the bars after a lifetime of warming barstools. I'm 72 so my activity level isn't a lot these days. I'm in the "Happy hour" of life as they say. I have Thai medical insurance but with so many exclusions it's basically useless.

Correct you are.I contribute 100% of my pension income to the Thai economy each year circa 1 mil. baht. If they close the door here I'll be going direct to Cambodia for sure. I've already done a lot of research on the Visa subject you've nailed it. The only decision to be made is which area to live in? I've traveled around there a fair bit and liked Battambang and Siem Reap.

She has probably spotted her managers skimming over the years and just thought it was her turn.

From this site: Dr Tharet Krasanairawiwong, Director of the Department of Disease Control, reported yesterday that the majority of the Monkeypox patients are men who have sexual intercourse with other men,

And maybe monkey pox...

You sir are 100% correct on that! I love being retired here but this farce makes me wonder and lose respect at the same time.Hun Sen appointed his son to replace him. The Philippines isn't any better. What is it that attracts us westerners to these banana republics? Asian culture is getting so predictable.

They need a couple popsicle sticks and electrical tape..works every time and waterproof.

Back in the 80,s my mortgage was @ 10.5 % .There was an $800 car in my driveway. No frills for this guy. Now everyone is driving a new car as if it's necessary? We were so poor ..bla bla

It's obviously a con job.How can 71 million people be so naive? The press is running interference for him and his clan.

The BIB really can't do very much until they find out who the Hi-so parents of these rich kids actually are.They must cover their as_ in case one the parents is their boss or some dignitary..IMHO 555

Agreed, but not too much because that,s why it's so much fun.

Yes, I'm not knocking KP she's done well by them. Pre - covid they promoted her to Supervisor.( Pattaya) After CV they hired a ton of new employees anticipating pre CV sales which never materialized.Even her manager suggested things were not looking good and if she had the opportunity to move on to take it. She's just testing the waters at this stage. She went to uni in BKK and has some valuable contacts there who have keeping her informed of any good jobs there.

My step daughter works at King Power and she tells me sales are way way down. Previously busloads of Chinese would arrive and some were good spenders. Not any more. These times they are juggling staff and inventory . It appears they bet everything to remain the same. She is now looking for another job and she's been there a while.

IMHO it's all smoke and mirrors.The deal was made weeks ago and this is all part of the act. The major donations have all been made. (read brown envelopes)

Just saying thanks to the generous Thai citizens for helping him become wealthy beyond his wildest dreams.

The stress comes from not knowing if the deal he made for no jail time will fall through or not. (pardon pending) I'm sure his recovery will preceed much quicker in the confines of his family compound.
