Eh yeah - it's hot season. Tuesday was in 40 degreees of heat and flew to Switzerland - bloody snowing! Three degrees at best. Often in the summer the weather in Switzerland is hotter than than it is in Thailand. Any chance we can stop OVER-REACTING when it gets a little warm?

Flew back to Europe a couple of days ago (Thai Airways) - instead of overflying Iran we took a detour which extended the flight by a good hour at least - went over Pakistan

Teflon-coated?

When I say "dentures" I think I mean a bridge - a plastic prosthetic that clips on - couple of thousand baht.

Don't bother - just get the tooth pulled out. The crown ("cap") will be broken in ten years anyway and you'll have a never ending story of the tooth being drilled down to nothing to fit a new crown (aka "cap") Then get a denture fitted.

Would using a VPN work?

As Jesus said "Let they who are without sin, cast the first stone". "Put that rock down Mother!"

Wow! Spliffs with extra cadmium! Where can I get them?

I have a pre--paid AIS SIM for some years now and use mobiletopup.com to - top it up. I've also got an unlimited (but slow speed) internet option for 70 baht a month but I think that offer has long gone.

"Penny Spender" was name of the offender in question?

I think this might be something to do with the date it was published

ALWAYS book flights from the airline - if you need a change or have a dispute unless you book with them direct they will tell you to politely go away and talk to the agency you booked it with - which means you will get ZILCH help

My son when ghe was younger wanted to join the army (british citizen, no Thai passport) but was living in Switzerland - we went to one of those Army recruitment places in the UK and were told he has to have lived in the UK for the last five years - howvever I can't find this requirement on the Barmy web pages (this was more than twenty years ago) And being dual nationality does NOT protect you from being conscripted by the other country - I know this happened to several people who had lived all thier lives in the UK but were for example Spanish (back in the eighties) a friend had to go to the spanish Embassy every year where they would tell him there was no war and he could go home. So if the Thai government won't release him the UK government won't help

She had have cottoned on when he turned up three hours for the first date

Could this be true? Can I take him off my ignore list coz he's GORN?

FYI got an update two days ago and it is still checking daily so all seems fine - getting my Defender updates!

Actually I was using "visibility" as a measure - when I landed this time last year I could barely see to the edge of the runway, let alone Doi Suthep itself - most days the mountains are clear so visibility ten times greater.

It is TEN times better than it was last year.

Checked my wifes passport (I've got the new "blue" [actually more black] one) - issued march 2015, expires June 2025. So - need to get a new one before March next year but otherswise she's safe to return to Europe.

Thanks for all the helpful replies. I've got a liveable solution and will work on a long-term one.

Got an update a few weeks ago - that'll do me until I come up with a permanent solution up to and including a new Windows 11 latop but the machine works fine and I hate uopgrading just for licence reasons.

I use it until it clears up then stop. Or at least I did until I found the Thailand miracle cure 🙂 decent weather

Who he? Time for Google I think
