sounds like more brown envelopes to be passed around

They won't be for donations that's for sure.

Just wondering...

 A Tad under whelming. Klaus. Try this one.. 

Is there a law against riding unicycles on Thai roads? I am not sure, but I believe these guys were, as stated, in the wrong lane.

I would also argue the point of the 'right lane is reserved for vehicles traveling at high speed'. As to the 10,000B fine? Well over the top, or is it because they are foreigners!?

BUT. As we all know the rules are made up to fit the case in question!

You can't do that there here!!!

Please provide  credible links/sources to the above!

 

PS; Where do you buy the tinfoil for your hat?

" credible links/sources", would be very difficult to come by, as governments have ways and means of hiding what they don't want people to know. On the other hand, look at the number of elderly who were discharges from hospitals into old peoples homes. How many of them are known to have died? It was into the thousands. 

Try 'Clip Grab'. Downloads video and music so you can store it wherever and listen at leisure.

Or a well placed OO gauge shot gun cartridge fired under his chin  

Drastic but very effective.

A digital wallet would obviously require a phone. If the object of this wallet is to help the poor, where do they get their phone? Or perhaps the phone belongs to a third person, which would be very dubious for the correct person the wallet was provided to?

It would be nice if they had a native English speaker review the copy before they post it. 

That statement could quite easily be taken two ways. I don't think we are talking spears and bows and arrows, but?

You have to click the "send code" button to send the code, then enter the code and click "verify code".

 

Caught me out at first.

Yes Crossy, I do know that. However, pressing the send code is what initiated the 'Too many attempts'. Thanks anyway.

I was having all sort of issues with them , I just gave up with Lazada yesterday , and opened an account with Shopee. 

every time I log on to place an order it wants to verify my identity, regardless if my VPN  is turned off and I show as in Thailand or if I have the VPN on and am logged on to Thailand, then they want to send me an Email  to input a code ,  but they send nothing, the try again after 20 minutes my identity is verified, then next day , the same thing.  Has happened so many times.  so I had enough. 

Hope I did not jump from the frying pan and into the fire. 

I have had a similar problem. Not been able to login due to wanting a verify code, but no code sent. Been like it for days now. Have tried three time on the same day then ii blocks me out and say too many attempts. If I can't get in by 5pm today it will be goodbye Lazada.

A serious loss of face for a foreigner! Her next move could well be a Go Fund Me page?

Without knowing it's a really small country, I probably couldn't find it on a map.  I only know where it is about, because geography interests me, and I did work for an international airlines.

 

Why the hell does a Thai person need to know where Luxembourg is.  That's one useless piece of info.

 

I know if the world was to go sh!t, I'd seek out Thais before expats, as I know most of them can live off the land.  Electric would go out, Lotus's & Villa Markets would close and expats would starve.

Perhaps Luxembourg was the wrong choice. My point being, the present education system is centred around Thailand with the rest of the world almost completely blocked out. Questions are discouraged as it may show up the teacher as not knowing, thus losing face. Try showing a Thai worker a better way to do a job and you get, 'Oh! Yes, I see.' Then as soon as you turn your back they return to doing it their way, because that's the way they were shown by a fellow Thai. 

Just one instance, I asked the electrician to install the light switches the opposite way up to their normal. The answer I got left me speechless. "Cannot, I have to twist wires, cannot."  The mentality of a child doing a supposed tradesman's job.

But ask any one of these students to point out Luxembourg on a map and it would result in getting splinters in their fingers from scratching their heads.

Sorry, I have to disappoint you as I understood what you said.

I am not confused by the fact you used tones instead of tons or tonnes, I guess AI has some way to go when it comes to spellcheckers. Tones are what the Thai language has.

'Tones are what the Thai language has.' Every language has tones, even English!

A definite case of, 'Should I rush the rush job you want rushing, or rush the rush job I was rushing when you rushed in'?

Yeah that’s right and the experience of 99.9% of the expats here. The poster made a comment about needing a pink id for collecting SSI on an expat forum without stating that it is for Thai SSI. Whether from the US Europe or Antarctica, whatever it is you’re trying to convey is irrelevant. 

It appears anger management is required?

I’m a US citizen collecting SSI, never been asked for the pink id. 

That is your personal experience. You are also assuming the commenter you refer to is also American? Could it not be possible the SS referred to is not from the US?

Sodium Hypochlorite.  I.e., bleach.

 

Yes, Hypochlorite is a bleach, but is comes in different strengths. For full strength it has to be 14 grains per gallon (UK)

Also bleach is NOT a stain remover, it is an optical whitener.

I do believe the Indian guy has the quote the wrong way round? Surely it should be 'No Honey, No Money'?

A simple question  from a simple person. What do you think?

Whoever you are, trying to bate me is a complete waste of your time.

I asked the question so as to get an answer, which I got, no thanks to you.

It may surprise you, but education is built on asking questions, so I have to assume you were 'educated in Thailand', where questions are frowned upon.
