  1. All these changes are not going to benefit the applicants. Better for the consular staff as the net end result will be less work for them since people will see less advantage in going to these places.
  2. I would rather stay with my wife until death us do part than return to such a dysfunctional country run by a bunch of jobsworths . If world war 3 kicks off probably better off here anyway . Can't see Thailand getting nuked.
  3. At least these can be useful in a non combat role. Look at the flooding situation in Chiang Mai right now. A small helicopter to bring in vital supplies and evacuate any injured would be a big help
  4. A lot more useful and practical than a submarine.
  5. Fair points. Perhaps enforcing all traffic laws to everyone and all vehicles would go a long way to mitigate accidents . But ........TIT.
  6. No sh*t Sherlock . It's sad that somehow people will never learn that going at a reasonable speed will probably save your life and you will arrive just a minute or two later. I hope they at least were wearing crash helmets although it seems unlikely A very good case could be made for banning rentals of any machine capable of speeds over 45kph and demanding a valid MC licence from home country. Renters should also have to pay insurance premiums on all their machines that would cover any hospital bills upto half a million baht. \ Of course .....never going to happen.
  7. Cash is not broken so why try to fix it ? The push for a cashless society benefits the banks and the establishment. Just imagine how much more profit banks are making by not have a branch in every town and lots of ATM machines. Fewer staff, no rates ,water or electric bills. No property maintenance etc. However much they lose by cyber fraud they are raking in millions every day by going cashless. The trick is to convince the sheeple that it is all being done for them and that they are benefiting from it.
  8. Penalty shootout. The most own goals loses.
  9. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread Phuket seems to be a hub for fools. Why even go there when there are other places to choose from ?
  10. Latest update from Ukraine and beyond from my favorite vlogger. Although he supports Ukraine he admits that the future does not look good without more support from western allies. Also shoots down claim from Israel blaming Ukraine for weakened Israeli air defenses. The video title is hyperbole though. Not really a massive attack.
  11. Wants to lay the groundwork for another coup. Just what Thailand does not need right now or ever.
  12. Lucky you....Check again. https://www.nationthailand.com/business/corporate/40041521 The American chain, which has been in the country for nine years, is bowing out of the Thai fried chicken market, leaving many wondering who will fill the void
  13. Not possible now. Texas chicken no longer operating in Thailand.
  14. Look for a smoking bum. Anyway, Thai politics is full of the stuff so not really out of the ordinary. Just the maids day off.
  15. Or has friends in the police force .
  16. Utter gonads .
  17. So ....um....where is your brain right now then ???
  18. It might have worked. Should have poured it over his head and lit a match. ' Come near me again and see what happens ! '
  19. Smuggled out in trouser legs then released on waste ground by pulling a string which undoes the knot.
  20. I find the whole thing of using phones and apps a bit behind the times. About time they introduced a swipe option as in the UK. No need for cash or phones and faster than both. No rummaging around for notes or scrolling to find the app. Just one tap with your card and done.
  21. Log into mine every day several times. From time to time I have to go through the pictures thingy but that's about it. The more frequently I log in the less I get hassled.
  22. There is a saying : People get the government they deserve Do the American electorate really deserve Trump out of a population of 333 million ?
