I've seen several suggestions but are there any similar programs like Skype where I don't have to pay a monthly fee. I only use it  to call my family overseas, banks and  others that place me on hold for a long time so Skype was perfect. My sister being an oldie doesen't have wifi on her phone so I can't call her using Messenger..

Hi there, I'm 80 yo and going ok but my weight has spiralled out of control over the past 3-4 months. I eat very basic food, all steamed, no fat, sugar or salt. I walk 90 minutes daily at 6.30 am. Over the past year I've restricted my drinking to 2 large beers per day. At breakfast  I eat one slice of sourdough bread, maybe a boiled egg, tomato and letteuce. For lunch I eat skinned roast chicken and vegetables, steamed or salad. I don't eat dinner but I eat a banana and sugar free yoghurt one hour before going to bed. What's my next step tape up my mouth?

Wise decision by the Thai ACC.

 

Foreign tourists are already whacked out of their skull on the devil's lettuce. That was the gov'ts first miscalculation, to legalise weeed.

 

No need to mix booze with the other drugs in public spaces like trains.

Did the Governmement legalise weed or did go Anutin go ahead and approve it himself?

It is only a part of the whole story... a video made by a Thai but what really happened, and why did the Thai man not made charges. If he was right he would have done it.. Doesn't mean that I approve the behavior of the man, but there is always more in this story. Thai news only tell things in parts and not the reality mostly.. So What happened before on the road..They write that that motorcyclist ran away after the accident, but that doesn't fit with the video

The Thai man obviously isn't a local as the cavalry would've arrived. Would there be any video evidence if the tourist had've got bash senseless?

How do you know when you're to old for Pattaya? There's a simple answer, it's when what you used to do all night now.takes you all night to do now.

I've been living in Pattaya for the past 24 years. When I'm asked by friends if Pattaya is a good place to retire to I respond like this. Pattaya is made up of expats and tourists. A person must decide which category they come under. Expats 60 yo plus must be careful to live like expats, that is the way they live their normal life. If these same expats live like tourist they will either run out of money or fall off the perch. Many expats have fallen for this trap and died prematurely.

Try Talkatone app. You’ll have to change the regional settings in your device to get the app. Paygo by Ultra Mobile has a $3usd plan and use use WiFi calling 

I would prefer something similar to Skype as I only use it 3-4 times a year so I don't want to pay for a plan.

Hit there, One month ago I decided to change to Tiger beer. Since then my weight has shot up by 5 kg's. As I'm 80 yo now I don't go to bars any more. Instead I've been drinking 2 large bottles of Tiger beer at home every evening. I walk 2 hours every morning and eat very basic steamed food but my weight appears to be out of control.

If I was re incarnated I'd like to come back as a Thai bar girls motor cycle seat.

Hi there,  I buy certain things from Lazada when needed and generally I find  the service good. The problem I have is that when I log in I'm asked for my account  validation by SMS. This doesn't work because I don't recognize the phone number shown. Consequently I can't validate my account or change my validation phone number to the correct one.

I've been using Skype for years, it was very handy and affordable to ring family, friends and banks in Australia. I've tried others but I must reside in Australia when the application is made. They even detected that I was using a VPN. So what now? Any affordable suggestion to call land lines in Australia?

Size is very important in Thailand, the size of your money and assets.

That would make a great doco,  BONKING ON THE BEACH and give them something to talk about.

The cops should've breath tested the cavalry too

Many of these same people complaining about the waste dump should take a good look at the property where they reside. My wife comes from a large family and over the years I purchased 3 different properties. I've yet to see one property that's not dirty or untidy. Even when you buy a property from a Thai you're left to clean out all the <deleted> they leave. When I bought my town house in Bangkok, babies soiled diapers and used tampons were even left in a toilet bin. It may have been a rented property but surely the owner should clean out the property prior to sale.
