Agreed. I checked the hols out when Wise told me it'd take till Wednesday to get through. My landlady was OK with it. I really don't feel the need to check public holidays before I have to make a transfer. Maybe it's crucial for others.

Interesting you say that. I've never had a hiccup with Wise. But a payment I wanted to make into a Thai account on Friday May 30th was held till Wednesday June 4th as well. It was Queen Suthida's birthday on the Tuesday and Monday was a bridge public holiday. The previous month the same payment shot straight through.

Enjoy. I did say 'highly unlikely'.

Who knows? The whole lot of them are about as transparent as black paint.

Stephen Fry is definitely not that type of man even if he's having a spat with JK. AN threads however are bursting with those types.

Highly unlikely with that age difference. In 10 years he'll be 67, retired and growing older, at least starting to ponder death ... mentally and physically in a totally different place to her. She'll be 36 and in the prime of life, bursting with beans, libido and energy with a whole life to look forward to. Chances of that holding in a mutually beneficial and happy way are minimal. Tell him not to build a house or go near high balconies in Pattaya.

100%

It's ludicrous. Sounds like some second rater trying to get some air time and collect a few brownie points.

It's never time for a coup but that's never stopped them.

Depends to the largest extent on where you hang out and at what time of day though doesn't it?

Can't take the pace.

Miserable shot - lucky no innocents were hit by strays. Disarm him.

Thin-skinned Taco with bone spurs. He fled the G7 because he couldn'tt hack it with real heads of state power brokers who weren't his cronies. Georgie Porgie taco and fries, Harassed the girls and made em cry. When the boys came out to play, Georgie Porgie ran away ... ... back to DC where he did - precisely nothing that was 'even bigger'.

Any idea if citizenship is even easier to attain with PR status? Just curious.

His knowledge and nous was also matched by his decency, politeness and patience ... legendary indeed on these boards ...

Her job is to squeeze as much lucre as possible out of those who swarm around Thailand's bars looking for 'love'. She seems to be quite adept at it.

Interesting numbers - seems like they're busier than they appear to be on these pages ... (taken at face value anyway)

Interesting but not surprising and packaged as if it all had something to do with Musk/doge/Trump ... But who cares eh?

Living in a bog standard 4k bargirl box.

Coals to Newcastle.

Agreed. One of my favorites. With the Nana Plaza excitement at one end and Benjakiti Park down at the other. Would you mind telling me how you got from there to the airport? Taxi? Hotel taxi? Meter or fixed fare? Price? Novotel shuttle to Nana and BTS/ARL? I'm looking at the same trip in a week or so and although familiar have never gone Novotel - Swampy. Cheers.

Oh dear. The usual boring and predictable hatespew triggered instead of an answer to a simple question. The answer by the way was 'nothing'. It was totally irrelevant to the actual topic. All desperately (and ineffectively) trying to hide behind a pathetic attempt to sound authoritative. I don't even feel offended it's so ridiculous. But also par for the course on AN nowadays.

What did the man's skin color have to do with his (lack of suitable) attire?

Rape is the charge least likely to be pursued by the CPS because of the nature of the crime. Only a very small percentage makes it to court and even fewer convictions secured. They have to be pretty damn certain to get an extradition together - from Romania where these two are facing pretty much exactly the same charges. I'm sure they're looking forward to their day in court and are sure they'll be exonerated. Not.

I'd call that selling your dignity.
