My personal experience of being on the road is mixed. I do not drive, but use Grab cars. Mostly its male drivers, but occasionally female. Contrary to most, I find female divers are more careful and attentive, although many of the older male drives can be also. I always sit in the rear seat on the near side. I feel safer this way, as there appears to be very little chance with either male or female drivers, hitting anything on their left. None of them have any idea of the width of the vehicle they drive and always, but always leave a gap of at least half the width of their vehicle on the near side. I always wonder why. I imagine it has something to do with their peripheral vision?

Thank you

Thank you.

I bought one of these about six months ago. How can you tell what credit is remaining? A mystery to me.

A friend of mine does this. He stays for three months and the amount he brings is usually enough. As he requires Baht, he goes to SuperRich to exchange £50 notes. Not sure of the amount he exchanges each time, but it is usually enough to cover one month.

Please explain the DTA? No such thing in the UK.

Which was my intention to say, but obviously did not state clearly.

At present the UK DWP pension is not taxed in the UK. It could therefore be classed as taxable income by Thailand? The new thieves of the Labour party may well change this in their up coming budget, due Oct/Nov this year.

You are quite correct in that BobKK. It is classed as benefit. Which is why successive governments of the past 70+ years, refuse to increase them to certain countries.

Being centre is ok, but the bits on the side can be a problem!

One may believe in social equality. Putting it into practice is a whole different ball game, especially when it is supposedly practiced by governments.

I will take that as an insult, but what is a democrat?😁 Is that one of those American thingies?

'Self awareness'! Yes, for the majority, but as we all know, there is always one!

My thoughts also. I can remember when it was made law to wear a crash helmet while riding a motorcycle. But ONLY IN BANGKOK. Stupid is as stupid does.

I never met my grandparents and my father was killed in Burma late in the last WW. However, I can trace family on my mothers side to the early 1800s and on my fathers side to 1720. No pedigree, more a case of Bassetts Allsorts from Durham, Anglesey and Hampshire. I have one son, but he is childless and to my personal knowledge the line ends there. We arrived with nothing, there's a still a lot of that left, and we leave with nothing, so no great loss to the world.

As it has been raining very heavily for at least the past 7 days, this would appear to be a tad late at this time?!

You appear to have negative attitude as to the suggestion of applying online. Would you lose anything by at least giving it a try?

I thought you were looking for a freighter to take yourself back to Blighty? Turned out to expensive I guess?

Damn. I am sure that was not the intention. Must try harder.

I guess you haven't been able to do these kind of postings in the UK, so, now with The same social and injustices you complain about here, are the same all over the world in all walks of life. I get the impression you're a lonely old man and this forum is your only outlet? Shame I guess, so we will all have to put up with your rantings.

Bob only does this for the attention. Problem being, when he gets the attention, its not what was expected so he moans again. Some people are just a complete pain, as is proved by this daily diatribe of nonsense.

He can't have, there's so little in it!

I for one am not surprised. Everything you post on here is a moan about the most trivial of things. If you are like that everywhere you go, is it any wonder people treat you with contempt? When did you say you were leaving? Friday would be a good day.

Obviously a cobbler who felt hard done by?
