  1. Maybe because the young suspects are not older than 70 years old? Just a thought.
  2. And this is the bit that I will never understand. The husband abuses the boy and the wife still supports him. 😟
  3. There are lots of politicians who match that description. Why single out the only one who helped the poor?
  4. The concrete road along the north to Bottle Beach is just the same except that there is now a place called Moon Rock with access via a dodgy dirt track. Careful riding will get you there and back. The concrete road up the east coast has progressed to Thong Nai Pan and heads off to the west towards Bottle Beach. Again, after a while, an easy to ride dirt track until the last 2 kilometres. There are signs then stating 4 wheel drive only with a number to call. I thought about giving it a go on the bike but as I was looking at the way down the very steep track, someone dropped their bike and could not get it upright again. As I was on a rental, discretion became the better part of valour. 🏍️😎👍
  5. What is the point in doing this if no one enforces the speed limits. From what I see every day, folk go as fast as they can or as fast as they want to go.
  6. Who the heck would send their loved one Hair Removal Cream as a valentine's gift?
  7. That was my thought exactly. Well done - you beat me to it.
  8. Sorry, but when will the world learn that you cannot negotiate peace with animals. ☹️
  9. Oh dear. 🤪 How will Samsung update my phone with the wifi turned off? Samsung have been trying to download updates ever since I bought it. Not been successful yet. The phone is quite old now but I can still make calls, send SMS's and take photos. That is all I need. Oh - and an alarm for 'beer o'clock' with friends
  10. Somehow the phrase 'flogging a dead horse' seems appropriate here.
  11. Oh doubting Thomas. As I said. No third party apps - just the ones from Samsung/AIS that I cannot uninstall. And still no WIFI .
  12. Then you do not own the car. Has it been bought on hire purchase/loan? If it has, I believe that the lender keeps the book until the loan is paid up, and so they have to do the tax.
  13. You just need the blue book and compulsory insurance as others have said. Watch the age of the car. It needs a certificate of testing after 7 years (? not sure exactly). This is similar to the UK MOT.
  14. Well done Samai. Hope that the girl finds peace.
  15. No wifi or third party apps on my phone. Problem solved.
  16. But China has been exporting cheap schitt to Thailand (and many others) for years. Thailand is even developing a new railway line to make it easier/cheaper to do so. Why is this suddenly a problem?
  17. Pretty good here on Samui. Blue skies with a bit of cloud. What is the current air quality in Ko Samui? Air pollution level Air quality index Main pollutant Moderate 61 US AQI PM2.5 (17µg/m³)
  18. Hmm. 43 flights into Samui today. That is average for this time of year. Not a lot compared to Bangkok but a lot for an island with a small runway. No long haul flights. The furthest is Chengdu, Singapore, Hong Kong and Chongqing. As a private airport, the CAA puts a limit on the flights. I think that it is a maximum of 50 fights in per day.
  19. Facebook is rubbish at preventing scammers Fixed it.
  20. It has got to be more safe than working in Israel at the moment. Different skill set unfortunately.
  21. I urge everyone to donate blood if they can. Especially foreigners with O Rh- blood (universal donor). Not many Asians are O-. I was called by hospitals a number of times to give blood to foreigners that had been in accidents or needed difficult surgery. Sadly, at age 72, I am now too old to donate. And always remember that the life that you save may be your own. Or a loved one.
  22. A fairly naive statement. Would you also ban tourists from crossing roads, renting cars, being passengers in tour buses, climbing waterfalls and so on ad nauseam. People are responsible for their own actions. The lad did everything correctly. Wore a helmet, had a licence, took out the proper insurance.
