  1. Been using these machines for years...usually OK but use your taste buds. If it tastes OK, it is OK. If tainted in anyway find another machine. They are everywhere. They also vary greatly in how much you get for 1 thb.
  2. Yeh right! More plastic pollution!
  3. ....And most days! Thats why there's no market for them. Camper van? More like a microwave on wheels...555.
  4. 'Been there, Done that'! Was caught by this taxi driver/boat scam when I first came to Thailand in 2006. So yes it has been going for years!
  5. A satellite is not required for this. just to learn English, which for better or worse is the 2nd language of the World, and teach English and geography (most cant even read a map) in Thai schools to give students the tools to get a passport and go explore the outside of Thailand for themselves Not keep the population chain bound, brainwashed and blinkered by Thai so that they can be more easily controlled, manipulated and exploited for cheap labour.
  6. So the KTM propaganda machine is up and running again.
  7. From the original Birmingham Post report: The friend added: “The medics who showed up said there was nothing suspicious. I was told the police said straight away there was nothing to investigate. It happened so quickly. I don’t even think they did an autopsy.
  8. What's the betting that most Thais will just continue calling it Bang Sue or Bang Sue Centran or krung Thep/Bangkok Centran.
  9. No replies here from 'Support'! So is there a calendar or no please???
  10. In preference to Hua Hin proper, I always stay with family at Takiab South beach which is the other side of Kao Takiab; the big rock, at the South end of the main Chaam/Hua Hin beach. More popular with Thais and ot that many hotels or restaurants but enough. The beach is quiet but lively and entertaining at the weekend when the young affluent Bangkok crowd arrive. Hotels and apartments right on the beach or a couple of minutes walk. I like the Blue Wave with spectacular views, or Takiab Beach Resort which is a bit cheaper but friendlier service. Or if u want to go upmarket there is also an Anantara right on the beach.
  11. So what did the Thai so-called monopolies commission have to say about this?
  12. Get a vaccine if you can! I am 70 and fit but have shingles on my left chest and back right now; excruciatingly painful and worst at night when you are trying to sleep. Been using ibuprofen, paracetamol and gabapentin + anti-virals to dampen down the pain. The 2 latter drugs dampened down the internal pain to bearable almost immediately but now the rash is dry and healing it is mostly surface pain. Anti-virals and gababentin now now finished. Not sure if I need to get some stronger painkillers because the pain relief with para. and ibu. doesnt seem to be as effective now.
  13. I usually pay 200thb from the airport into town.
  14. Thais dont even like living in a house where someone has died let alone sail in a ship that has sunk!
  15. There is no charge for roaming with a Thai number nor for receiving OTP sms messages....At least not from AIS. I have a dual sim phone so keep my Thai # active in my phone along with my UK sim when in the UK. Or the OP could keep the Thai sim in a different phone. Im told that Kasikorn bank's K+ app. also works while abroad so that could be used for top ups. You needs to check the credit expiry date each time you top up and make sure you top up again before then or you will lose the credit and your Thai sim and number will expire.
  16. “Fees won’t be collected from foreigners with work permits and border passes,” said Mr Phiphat. What about Expats? What does the re-entry permit fee go towards then? Or rather, who's a r s e does that disappear up?
  17. It is the head honcho who has probably stopped it, as it doesnt exactly boost popularity does it? Stopped just as this thread will probably soon be stopped...555.
  18. Not sure what you mean by this.
  19. "Therefore, buffaloes are often compared to people who submissively follow other people’s orders (what they are taught to do at school), and are often being fooled or taken advantage of." ....Sounds like an accurate description of most Thais working for their Chinese/Thai employers. "buffaloes can be described as kind and loyal to humans, working tirelessly for their owners, people (Thais) tend to regard this kind of behaviour as being stupid." ....Explains everything! And why (most)Thais make notoriously bad employees.
  20. So what is so bad about that? 555 Seems quite complimentary to me.
  21. That sounds very reasonable. Sorry to be a pest but some more detail would be greatly appreciated: 1) Can you simply purchase this add on when you go for your bike's annual tax renewal? 2) Is the insurance document in English or only Thai? 3) How much are you covered for? 4) Do you have to have a Thai driving licence to obtain it? 5) Will they pay out regardless of blame please? Cheers
