  1. Does that mean that age 12 is when kids start to drop out of the education system and 15 is when they start to work?
  2. But the fat-soaked, deep fried chicken from my friend on the street is soooo tasty and cheap. And the kids love it.
  3. It would be easy for the tour companies to get around this little issue. More expensive, but easy. But I guess that greed has no limits.
  4. It is not just the speeding that causes all of these deaths. It is driving skills as well as the training and testing for those skills. When I drive in the UK, I always set the cruise control to just under 10% over the speed limit. On motorway, the speed limit is 70 mph. Cruise control set to 75 mph. I am always the slowest vehicle on the motorway. Everyone else is speeding past me. BUT, the training and testing of drivers in the UK is pretty good, so the driving skills are usually much higher than those here. Result, less deaths and accidents.
  5. With a minimum salary of between 21 and 31 baht an hour as well as a thriving economy, maybe Vietnam is doing a lot of things right. Lower salaries usually means cheaper costs for transport, accommodation, food etc. It is where I go for an overseas holiday.
  6. I find life is more enjoyable by ignoring any thread that he starts - along with those of the GG's
  7. Swiss Franc? https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/chf.asp
  8. Totally agree with you and President Abbas. What totally amazes me though is that these pro Palestinian (Hamas) supporters are supposedly intelligent, educated people. I guess that they still think that Elvis and Hitler are both still alive and that the tooth fairy is real.
  9. That is why I take it to the 'professionals'. The lads that work with me are very enthusiastic, but typical untrained Thais. They make everything work - eventually. Light comes on as soon as I insert the battery, and stays on. I did try pressing all of the control switches but no change Thanks for trying to help[ though. We have ordered a new remote.
  10. Thanks Crossy. Stupidly, I took your well meant advice. However, you obviously do not suffer from dodgy digits. At 74, my hands are often 'trembling' with the occasional jerk in a 'random direction'. (Plays havoc when I am using the mouse.) Took the remote apart and bits fell out everywhere. Managed to put them all back - even in the right places (?), fitted a new battery and....... ......red light on continuously and still does not work. Back to the drawing board.
  11. From what I have seen here, this is normal for Thai written software and apps.
  12. A typical Chinese, Russian, terrorist trick. Arrest (kidnap?) innocent people and use them as pawns in 'negotiations'.
  13. And that is why the government want casinos. Nothing to do with tourists. The naively believe that all illegal gamblers will go kosher.
  14. Yes really. They are by far way down the list of immoral and evil companies on the planet. If you look at the next line in my post, you see why. I have no fondness for Nestlé, but I do support fairness in business.
  15. He did bloomin well to get away with all of those injuries. No wonder they found him semi-conscious.
  16. I have not eaten in those places since I came to Thailand back when Noah wore short trousers. And I do not shop in IKEA - terrible quality. Several villas that we look after are furnished with Ikea Krap. Needs replacing on a regular basis.
  17. I do not drink Nestlé, but I do wish them well in this little enterprise. If Thailand wants overseas investment and to trade with western businesses, they must learn to treat them fairly. (I drink Chiang Rai coffee. )
  18. Thai perverts and peeping toms on the prowl. So why did they not complain after the firs night?
