  1. Yep. Remember Nong Fluke? Yet Mr Mojo believes none of this happened.
  2. Yep, done that, thanks. I only see me calling out the anti Thai brigade who post baseless nonsense like no-one has heard of Conde Nast, Thailand is a dump etc. Honestly, silly comments that are only posted because the posters hate their lives here. And it is sad. Thailand has good and bad, but if you are visiting here for the first time (as millions do) it is an incredible country, like it or not.
  3. Yes they did, and yes it was, and I personally know two innocent victims. It was an awful period in his "leadership". And he is using this terrible tragedy for political gain which is utterly immoral and shameful. I am losing more and more respect for this site each and every day they publish his disgusting self serving BS.......which is pretty much daily now.
  4. Both male and female. And from recent times going back years. And I use Fast Track on every single entry - not because I am flash, just because I work for a BOI company so I am allowed to use the Fast Track lane. I have posted this in its own thread elsewhere but especially post Covid the IOs are much more friendly (it seems to me), giving smiles, wais, and having a little chat. Maybe that's because I approach them with a sawasdee khrap and a smile, who knows. But generally, in dozens and dozens of entries I have never been questioned, nor has anyone I have known who has visited me.
  5. I have never been asked a single question in Fast Track other than the occasional "can you speak Thai?", and I have used it countless times. If you have access to Fast Track it would be ridiculous not to use it.
  6. So you're saying it didn't happen then? Or maybe you subscribe to Tony's pathetic "It's not the police, it is drug dealers turning on one another" theory? Wait, I think you're really saying it didn't happen.... Can you read your own sentence out loud please.
  7. It isn't. The "Visa on Arrival" lane is for visas on arrival, not visa exempt.
  8. I never do that because then I have a different number. If you are with AIS you can get seven days unlimited data roaming in Malaysia for 93 baht.
  9. I recently made a thread with questions about import duties for hand carrying a wood fired pizza oven and 20kg of oak pellets back from the UK. Got some good info and I carried it back with no issues. Some people were interested in the oven and asked me to post a review once I'd used it, so here it is. @richard_smith237 It's a brilliant bit of kit. So nicely engineered, easy to put together (took one minute), easy to use. It gets to around 450 celcius in 15 minutes or so and cooks the pizza in 60 seconds. I had to cure it for 30 minutes the first time (just burn wood in there at maximum temp) then it was ready to use. The very first pizza I cooked in there burnt as I put it in and came back 90 seconds later to check - too late; the second was great. The heat is so intense that 10-15 seconds is the difference between being underdone, perfect, and burnt - literally - so you have to be vigilant. The taste is amazing, the texture is amazing. The machine needs no looking after other than cleaning soot out of the chimney. I just fired it up for the second time tonight. Honestly better than most pizzas I've ever ordered, but definitely room for improvement still. So my review is it is well worth it. Needs a learning curve as to how to cook at such high heat (how thick should your base be, how sloppy your toppings can be, how devoted you need to be about watching it cook and turning it around and removing it in time), but overall it is 10/10. If you were thinking of getting one I recommend it. I should point out I have absolutely no affiliation with the company, they don't even ship to Thailand, but I had wanted one for a while, I had a trip to the UK booked so I ordered one to be delivered there then carried it back. https://ooni.com/collections/ovens/products/ooni-fyra Some pictures from today.
