In which case there is nothing to stop you from disabling the adblocker for the sight you need to use. Yes, I accept that an invasion of privacy is more than an inconvenience, unfortunately at present we have to live with it, until governments world wide do something about it.

So use an ad blocker such as 'AdGuard'.

Made worse by restrictive sale times.

When I was kid manners and politeness was instilled in the first five years, along with discipline. There was also respect for one's elders. Slowly over the years that kind of thing has diminished to the point of non existence. Most kids of today have no respect for anyone or anything.

Prohibition in the US 1920-1933 proved unworkable. Governments around the world could make billions in taxes on legalised drugs. Place a ban on something and that item has a value, which will be exploited.

That would be nice, but when is it ever likely to happen? I doubt I will see it.

I'd like to start a Go Fund Me, but I'm still trying to think of a unique reason that would attract the sympathy and plenty of money.????

'What time is it Eccles'. 'Just a minute my good fellow, I got it writted down here on a piece of paper'. Compliments of the 'Goons'.

Just think of the chaos!!!???

My Revolut A/C and card operate in Thailand. Wise will not issue a card to foreigners living in Thailand

I didn't want to put into words what I was thinking, but the implication is there nevertheless. Reading between the lines has its advantages as well as disadvantages.

If he hung himself with a cord from his shorts, why was said cord not taken from him before being placed in a cell? It is not difficult to hang ones self if determined enough, but to assist by leaving a cord to do so beggars belief.

I would think not. Knowing how to use the correctly is possibly the problem!?

There is also no mention of the fact a retirement visa is for 12 months and any reentry permit is only valid up to, and I believe not including, the expiry date of the visa.

Clarity can save so much confusion!

Since when?

I had something similar happen to me some time ago. I don't normally give my card details to be stored for future use, but having used Lazada for a couple of years, one item could only be bought with payment from a bank card. Duly paid and no problems for a few months then all of a sudden 27,000baht disappeared from my Thai bank. Checked at the local bank and got a statement and a payment of the said amount had been deducted by, of all places, Deliveroo in the UK. There had been two deductions and two additions of 32baht to the A/C prior to the 27,000 deduction. I contacted the bank head office, explained the situation and got my money back with 10 days. Very lucky. However, I removed my bank details from the Lazada web site and will only pay via COD now.

What it obviously amounts to is, 'No one knows how to stop this carnage' or perhaps wants to. In my thirty years of visiting and living here nothing, totally nothing has changed. Driving schools would not improve anything, as who would teach the teachers. It would be a case of 'Yes, Yes I understand, but as soon as ones back is turned it would back to, 'We've always done it this way' and the carnage would continue. Flogging a dead horse comes to mind.

'Trotters Independent Traders'. I'm sure there are a few who can remember?

Should have deposited it in the hotel safe, do you think?

Because there is no reward for them to even bother.

Possibly acting his shoe size and not his age.

My thoughts exactly.

True. Speed doesn't kill, its the sudden stop.

Whichever, its your neck.
