  1. There are some vlogs on YouTube about the journey BKK-border, and the crossing thereof in both directions. Probably your best source of info ... (I'm pondering a trip down through Malaysia next year.)
  2. I think you missed the word delegation It's his retinue that takes care of the real nitty gritty.
  3. Got that the wrong way round .... make the THAIS pay for it ...
  4. 256 killed. That's almost as many as made it out of that Japanese jetliner the other day.
  5. These 'articles' rarely do. You get a half baked half of a story, usually badly written. I have no idea how stuff like this can possibly make it onto the page. It's like they have not only no editors, but not even any editorial p o l i c y. It might be interesting to find out how these 'news gatherers' actually function - if you can call it that.
  6. I even saw one guy ringing the bell in an open fronted Beach Road bar at nine in the morning. (I was just passing, honestly.) The place was pretty busy.
  7. Decades under my belt as well. Can only confirm what you say. Not uncommon in offices at all as well. Maybe JG lived a sheltered life in Germany 555
  8. Thanks for the info ... I see this is an ancient thread but nonetheless ... Question HOW expensive? Is it worth stocking up in home country where I get it for free? Or are we only talking about a couple of hundred baht for a pack of 100? I don't think based on what you've said here that doxazosin would be right for me.
  9. Depends. Maybe he can sell the glasses to buy food with the 'revenue'. He certainly doesn't look very healthy that's for sure. Distended gut, skinny legs, bad posture. Maybe he'd be better off in the Hilton. Looks like he'd be even worse off back home on the NI pension. I know I'd rather do my shoplifting in Bangkok than Stoke-on-Trent. Maybe he's got a mental issue. Who knows?
  10. The 5th was designed for the i n n o c e n t.
  11. I used Bangkok VIP Limousine fast track service a couple of times inbound and outbound. I was quite happy with them as a single traveller. Then I think they had to shut down, then came Covid. It looks like Klook next time in.
  12. Maybe someone else has said it already, but why aren't they tough on drunk drivers ALL the time? Ludicrous. It's really an admission that they don't do their job outside of New Year.
  13. Yes to 1,2 +3. If I ever stay long enough to arrive at point 4 I'll be on me way back home then at the latest.
  14. Actually I love sushi but had no idea the fish had to be frozen first, so thanks to you and Hawaiian. I wouldn't touch it anywhere in Thailand for plain reasons. In Germany I eat raw mincemeat with onion on bread rolls for breakfast (Hackepeter), the preparation, seasoning and regulation of which is closely controlled. I'd never eat raw laab though.
  15. It's clear from this OP's responses to me and many others who've tried to help that s/he's really just an argumentative and very unfriendly grump who wants to appear as Mr./Ms. Benevolence.
  16. I can't be bothered with this.
  17. So answer my question (or not, I don't care). I notice you ignored the self critical second part of my post. Nor did you respond to my first post. I was just trying to be helpful. It appears to have gone right over your head. Don't spoil a good thought by coming out with those kind of insults. The question arises as to whose chip you are referring to. It ain't mine, nor was I looking for an argument. Oh, and as a learning aid in basic calculation, I don't need to know how much you want to spend and I don't care about that either. The problem you set is very simple as is the (second) answer I gave.
  18. Are you really so strapped you couldn't afford the same, higher amount of the better rice? I ask because I sometimes get hung up on the small fry differences with cash, especially with tips but not only. When in the end being slightly more generous or chilled is the solution that pleases everyone, and penny pinching can spoil lovely experiences.
  19. Writing and coloring books. Pencils, colored pencils and crayons. Anything they can write and draw with. Water paints even.
