  1. Wow, thank you for that honour. My friends will fall over and pisstheirpants laughing when I tell them that one. Did you actually read the whole post or just jump up in indignation after the first line? Where does it state that I agreed with the guests? I just said that I could understand their upset. Personally, I never use taxis or riding apps in Phuket. Not that I go there very often.
  2. Sunbathing? But it looks like night time from the photo.
  3. So, the driver asked for 570 baht for the journey. Guest does not argue. The guests were short of Thai money and offered 200 baht + some foreign currency. Driver said no. Guest said, please take us to currency exchange and we will change it for you. Driver says OK - does not mention that the guests have to pay to go and change his money. Hmm I can understand why the guests are feeling a tad upset about this one.
  4. And the point of all of this is......? What? All senior politicians are rich. Some more than others. Poor people do not get elected, or if they do, the rich ones find a way to get them de-listed.
  5. Sorry, I have no idea re rabbits but.... One cafe in Fisherman's has capybaras. Maybe ask them if they have had to use a vet here? Not the same I know, but a lot less common in Thailand than rabbits. https://www.capybaracoffeethailand.com/ There is another one at Big Buddha apparently Oops - the link may be the Big Buddha one. Did you also try the vet next to Foxtrot at Bangrak?
  6. The old folk's allowance here is 600 baht per month - if he qualifies. He was probably doing whatever he can in order to get some cash.
  7. Happens more often than people think. Friends took the new baby to the pub when they went for a meal. Baby was in a carry cot fast asleep. Friends finished the meal and went home. Pub called them to ask if they were coming back for the baby.
  8. A sad Isadora Duncan moment. Hope that the kid is OK.
  9. How does putting an ankle bracelet stop people from drink driving?
  10. None. Far too busy. Happy New Year all.
  11. As always, the devil will be in the details.
  12. Sorry if I rain on your parade, but he wasn't collecting rent at 00:10. That is only when it was reported. He would have tried to collect it some time earlier for the other events to have happened.
  13. They rest of the police at the station are going to have to do more than 10 squats to apologise on behalf of Police Senior Sergeant Major Nontasit.
  14. Listen to Sheryl and I recommend go MRI's and targetted. A doctor friend of mine said - do not do random biopsies - they put 'wounds' in the prostate. Also, if you do have cancer, the wounds help it to spread more quickly. He recommended MRI's on a regular basis. (I went once per year.) When they spotted an 'irregularity' they did a targetted biopsy.
  15. That says everything about you that we needed to know.
  16. It's not new. I used to see it when I first came to Bangkok back in the early 90's. Then, it was mostly German couples.
  17. To me, it would appear that the motorbike had the right of way. That road looks like a major road. The truck driver did not see him or did not care. Happens all of the time. The big trucks and vans just pull out assuming that the bike will give way as the truck is bigger. Then the driver blames the bike rider for speeding!!!
  18. Totally agree. Some of the pessimists here on AN would say 'but you lost your discount'.
  19. I agree with you with the exception of DHL. They are bigger crooks than UPS. Here on Samui friends and I have been having issues with the local DHL agents since early 2000's. We tell everyone NOT to use DHL. The best, reliable service is the post office, registered. FedEx have also ben good so far but it is down to the individual agent. EMS here always deliver. To the OP - sorry about your problem but in my experience, unless you pay the bribe, you will not get your documents.
