  1. I was robbed by a taxi driver at Laksi. He refused to give me the 80-baht change of a fare from Sukhumwit Rd.

    Now, I try to avoid them like the plague. If, I do have to use a taxi there are three things which I do:

    After entering the taxi I take a photograph of the taxi number with my phone - the number on the inside of the back door.

    Have a pair of hardy shoes on - if chased by a driver with a weapon,

    and ALWAYS have the correct fare money.

  2. Rumor has it that all Route 66 bouncers will be trained in the Dundee-Handshake.

    I've never heard it called thar before. Put's me off me' wee piece of Dundee cake sad.png

    More likely the Glasgow smile! smile.png

    It's not Jimmy mate. It's Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee.

  3. Macca's delivery sent me out a fish burger instead of a Big Mac. I'd already taken a bite out of the fish burger. Although the second delivery fella still wanted the first burger returned, I gave it away to a mate. He even rang the Macca's branch to have a cry to them that I no longer had it.

  4. I queried AIS about this and will be getting a full refund. They've admitted giving a service which wasn't requested. Here's their reply. As you can see, and confirm if you dial the connection status number *129#, their internet service is ALWAYS switched on, using 1-baht per minute, unless of course, you disable it.

    "Dear Khun Somchai Smith,

  5. I've the same problem with AIS. They sucked out six-hundred baht on Edge. I've just got a new Chinese Android phone. Try dialing 1175 and then dialing the extension number, 2 for other languages at AIS, with a touchscreen. What a nightmare. Took a while to work it out.

    I've never had a data plan with AIS and there was never any mention of a data plan being made available, by them.Plus I didn't use any internet on my mobile, something turned on Edge, so I left a recording with them demanding the money be refunded, and for them not to repeat these charges. They're taking liberties with money which has been paid upfront, ridiculous. See how I go with a response from them.

  6. One of my local rezzies has a waiter who cries if I don't leave a tip. Bloody restaurant politics. However, I prefer to leave a 20-baht tip than have a loogie left in my sticky-rice. Ate at a good and cheap one near Foodland. Had a friend, on the same table. He actually had shorties in his pad Thai. Disgusting, have never returned since
