  1. The water will reflect the rays of the sun, so if you are in or near the water, you will more easily get burned. On our last trip to Koh Samui, we took the very early morning flight, because it was several thousands of Baht cheaper than any of the later flights. We arrived in the hotel around 8 am and we knew that we couldn't check in that early, so after eating breakfast we decided to spend the next 4 hours resting on the beach in the shade of some trees. Since our sun protection was still in our suitcases, which we deposited in the reception, we didn't go out in the sun at all, but still my sensitive farang-skin got very red and painful, so I had to avoid the sun for the next few days. We will soon be travelling to Koh Samui on the very early morning flight again, but this time I will make sure to grab the sun protection from my suitcase, before heading to the beach chairs after breakfast 😀😀😀.
  2. I would gladly buy lottery-tickets, but only if I could buy them online and get any winnings automatically transferred to my account.
  3. Years ago when I was living in a small condo, I had a combined washer/dryer (condenser) from Electrolux. The washing part was great, but the drying was miserable and would take at least 3-4 hours for just half of the clothes to get dry. It was much faster to dry the clothes hanging on the balcony.
  4. I used to go to the hospital every 1 or 2 years to get ear wax cleaned out of my ears. The last bill in my local private hospital was 1,600 Baht, which made me decide to buy an ear syringe and do it by myself. I fill the ear syringe with clean tempered water and do it during my shower, so it's easy to flush the ear wax down the drain. Ear syringes can be bought in the pharmacy or online for a few Baht, but before you start doing it, you better be 100% sure, that you don't have a different ear problem. The Hydrogen Peroxide solution didn't work for me, but if you should decide to try it, make sure that you do not use a stronger solution than 3%. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322725#summary
  5. Maybe he needed to take a dump?
  6. They must be getting really desperate to bring back tourists now!
  7. The Benz dealers are probably stocking up already.
  8. I wonder why it has taken them so long?
  9. If the doctors are found guilty in misconduct, the felon should be re-arrested and sent to an accomodation in Bangkok Hilton.
  10. In Thailand sellers and waiters doesn't have a clue about what they are selling/serving.
  11. They are already doing it in some european countries - even with borrowed or leased cars. The owner can off course appeal the confiscation, if there is a good reason why the car should not be confiscated, like if someone has used the car without the owners permission - but then there could be added theft charges on top of the reckless driving charges. Even some very valuable supercars have been confiscated, where the owners have lost the appeal.
  12. Maybe their requirements got lost in translation. Maybe they only meant, that the bank book update should be from the same day. But then I would have to visit the bank twice.
  13. Samut Prakan Immigration require the bank letter and statement to be done on the same day! We normally start out in the morning at Kasikorn Bank in Pak Nam (opens 8:30) a few km's from Immigration office. Then take a taxi to the amphur, which is in walking distance from the Immigration office. Construction is going on at the amphur in Samut Prakan, so it's a bit difficult to find the main entrance. Most people currently use the rear entrance where there is a small road. Walk up the stairs to 1st floor. The counter for marriage certificate is 1st counter on the right hand side.
  14. So how much was the first amount the massage shop charged??
