  1. Probably shallow despicable comments made by the young or rich, at a time in their lives where they think they are invincible. Until that dreaded time later in life when the younger ones find themselves in a similar position with health problems and sky high unaffordable insurance premiums with many exclusions.
  2. Govt cannot wean themselves off the revenue it generates to control illicit drugs, the contribution to the economy is huge.
  3. Why would you want to open a parcel for something you did not order" If you did not order something and are not expecting a delivery it should just be refused.
  4. Have no sympathy for the users as well. Most of them seek out and take these drugs because it is cool to get high (just like this marijuana stuff) ie until they are hooked on something and then it becomes a blight on society. But still, this guy was in prison due to him and he was under the control of government in their system and received a sentence according to the law and justice system. There should be no reason for him to die and it is a bit strange that the government authorities are not being transparent with the cause of death of someone under their control.
  5. "This was endorsed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an email to Danish tabloid media, Ekstra Bladet. The mail further stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be ethically obliged to preserve the confidentiality of personal matters." It would appear they had no ethical qualms about parading him in front of the world when he was caught before he was really tried, found guilty and sentenced in a court of law.
  6. Thats what they say. I am on the 12th floor and the signal on the router is full strength.
  7. Well it is quite hard when on a train not to be aware of ones surroundings and they did stand out from everyone on the carriage.
  8. On the Sukhumvit line BTS the other day, 2 elderly gentlemen with pot bellies got on the train wearing tank vests with shorts and both had tattooed arms. My goodness, do they really think they look good like that.
  9. Topic headline from the mirror "Where is Liz Truss? PM 'missing' as UK descends into chaos after disastrous mini-budget"
  10. Wonder how tech savvy the commentators here are and what alternatives they have offered to set up tech innovation centres in Thailand.
  11. Take your pick. Definition of BC 1- before Christ —often printed in small capitals and often punctuated 2 - board-certified 3 - British Columbia
  12. Look at the TPLink routers, there are several models available MR100 and 6400 max speed 300Mbbps and Dual band MR200, MR400 (Lan 10/100) and MR600 (Lan 10/100/1000, LTE+ carrier aggregation) I'm using a TPLink MR200 with an NT/TOT Thunder sim 999 baht for 1 year. It is sufficient for all my streaming, browsing needs and is shared with one other person.
  13. Wonder if they can just do as the USA does and commit to take the Death Penalty off the table in sentencing.
  14. I renewed my driving license at Morchit about 2 months ago. At that time the app would not let me make an appointment for Morchit DLT. Could make online appointments in the app at other DLT testing centres but the appointments were for 2 to 3 months away. In the app they mentioned that as well, foreigners could not make appointments online at Morchit (maybe it changed now?) So, I went to Morchit DLT and made an appointment in person (1st visit the DLT officer required a residence certificate for the appointment, so I went and got one and subsequently went back, got an appointment within 3 weeks)
  15. Only Thais with a Thai ID card can make online appointments at Morchit/Chatuckak DLT. Foreigners have to appear in person to make an DL appointment and to make an appointment a residence certificate is needed
  16. Watched "Where the Crawdads Sing" last night, thought it was really good. Very few films around of this calibre nowadays.
  17. Thanks, correct it is 470gm's. The price at Makro seems to have gone up a bit, now 269 Baht.
  18. Offer to place a fixed deposit security and then apply for a credit card. Ask them what the min security deposit would be. Or do you not have any spare money to place as a fixed security deposit?
  19. See Mainland Tasty Cheddar 18 months and the crumbly 24 month one in some of the Makro's, 259 Baht for 450gm, its been like that for a few months now.
  20. Don't think in your personal capacity you can just make an account on swift. I think it is for financial institutions to register. To do a swift transfer get the swift code from the Thai bank. Enter the swift code on your overseas banks transfer details website from the originating account you want to do the transfer, fill in the rest of the details they require such as Thai bank account number, Thai bank account address etc...and press send. The overseas bank will send the money to your local Thai bank account via swift.
  21. Don't know any shops making custom made running shoes. But online asics have 2 top running shoe models kayano and nimbus in extra wide ie size 4E and your size is available in 2 colours of each model. They do COD I think. You can access their site, filter for size 2E or 4E wide. https://www.asics.com/th/en-th/men-shoes-running?Rfs=varZZ15107VPYQ338121 Other options are Brooks but it seems their 4E in your size is sold out. They have Ghost in a size 11 in 4E wide. They have some shoes in 2E wide adrenalines and ghosts and maybe other models. Brooks store is in Muang Thong Thani if you want to try on their 2E or available 4E sizes. Asics also have an outlet in MTT where they might have some shoes in 4E to try on. Other option may be Hoka but it looks they only have normal and wide.
