  1. Wwich two years would that be!?
  2. I would, but being a bit infirm on my pins, it would possibly be me that came a cropper.
  3. When a child is verbally abused from a young age for many years, there is at sometime going to be a reaction. This reaction was OTT, but not surprising.
  4. But what the eye doesn't see, the heart cannot grieve over.
  5. I guess I was fortunate having moved here, I had no intention of sitting around going to seed, so built a small business for the family of 5 when the Baht was @ 70 to the £. It will never make us rich, but keeps the wolf from the door and I don't have to transfer money very often. So the exchange rate going up and down does not bother me.
  6. 'Or even teach people how to drive better'. Many people who drink and drive, do think they can drive better after a few drinks!
  7. Push wages up and the prices follow.
  8. I do hope you feel better now?
  9. When prey tell, has logic ever played a part in Thai thinking? It gets the same grading as common sense '0', 90% of the time.
  10. If of course the bank was proven responsible. It is unfortunate that some people are not totally up to speed with online banking, and others are easily drawn into what sounds like its too good to be true. It is also very easy to input one wrong figure on the bank App, and the money is lost in many cases. QR codes are not as secure as they could be, and auntie Joe who is almost blind without her glasses, is as much to blame as the bank. Yes, these are things which should be checked before making payment, but even with cash, people make mistakes. Then again, there are people who are not as smart as the average bear!
  11. So, A scam by another name!
  12. I have a 2014 Civic. Possibly the best car I have ever owned. At 125K, the front seats recovered and window seals replaced. I have thought of a change, but with regular servicing and no problems, I can't see the point. As I get older my one objection is it being too low.
  13. I find it rather strange that 'biscuits' would be served with chicken? Tea or coffee with biscuits at ones morning break, but not with ones lunch or dinner. I suppose if it were meant to be like sweet and sour, one could raise an eyebrow, but stranger things have been known I guess.
  14. I had it once, never again. I am certain the chicken walked here, as I could have resoled my shoes.
  15. UK NOT AUS. Do take notice.
  16. Cannot say how long since I used WU but it is many years. I used to send £500 at least twice per month by a transfer from my UK bank to WU. Then WU to my Thai bank. Total cost was £2:90 and it only took about an hour. Cant speak for Wise as never used them, but now I use Revolut. I can transfer from my UK bank to Revolut. No cost. I then transfer to the Revolut Baht A/C up to £800 at no charge/month. I use the Revolut card for most purchases and always tell the clerk to take in Thai Baht, so no charges. Any remaining balance I transfer to my KrungThai A/C, direct from the Revolut Thai A/C and again usually, no charge. To be sure, I have just checked the Baht transfers and they show no charges over the past six month. I expect to get a few flamed replies, but I can only say as I see.
  17. Not sure about mine, but I will make enquiries.😇
  18. A Thai completing a tax return would depend on their income. A business tax can apply if the income is over a certain amount, of which I am not sure.
  19. Is that why governments take money, to control the temperature of the planet!?
  20. Unsurprisingly, empty vessels make the most noise.
  21. And what, may I ask are you implying? I wouldn't trust Donald Duck either, but I grew out of those silly flicks in my early teens
  22. Read the first sentence of my post, in may enlighten you a tiny bit?
  23. That I think would depend on the hospital and or the doctor. I have had an operation in a government hospital and am pleased with the result. Admittedly I had a private room, which was in fact on a par with a private hospital as was the menu. Dont run down a service on hearsay, you may be glad of it one day?
  24. The proverbial snowballs chance in hell comes to mind.
