  1. If foreign tourism is Thailand's only hope in 2023, then they are in for a rude awakening.
  2. Pretty much the first one was. The second one a little slower.
  3. I used to go to Koh Chang a lot back in the 90's. It was different then. I haven't been back since 2007 when I thought it was over run with hotels and resorts.
  4. Is it possible to buy an e-bike in your home country and then have it shipped to Thailand? It would probably be a better e-bike than what you could purchase locally. I have no idea what it would cost to ship as freight. There's also the issue of getting it out of customs. If it is brand new they might even add on a tax for that.
  5. Thailand with nuclear reactors? I see nothing but problems with this scenario.
  6. I ran the River Kwai half marathon once back in the 90's. Singha was one of the sponsors and in their finish bag that they gave you at the finish line was a can of cold beer. A lot of people don't drink so someone gave me their can and I knocked down two cans quite quickly. This was probably around 8 or 8:30 in the morning.
  7. I brought in a used road bike in 2018 in a soft sided bike case. No issues at all bringing it through the green channel.
  8. "Dr Philip Leong and a Mr Gerber from the university's justice faculty wanted to know how Thailand handles human trafficking and illegal fishing." I'm assuming that Thailand handles it very differently than they do in the US. Perhaps Pol Gen Surachate Hakpan can explain the use of brown paper envelopes.
  9. In my experience in the US, I knew several Thai couples that were in grad school either working on a PhD or a Master's degree that were living together. They were certainly not from lower or lower middle class status in Thailand. If anything, they were from the upper classes.
  10. If you like it in Cambodia then that's great! I'm not here to change your mind as everyone is different and like different places.
  11. I do the same thing. I like it if the bank has an ATM machine inside the building to hopefully discourage thieves from attaching a card skimmer to the ATM.
  12. It's a good event and from the youtube videos I saw it looks like a lot of people having a good time.
  13. Will they allow bars, pubs, restaurants, and other entertainment places to remain open for some of the matches that will be played well past 2:00am Thai time?
  14. One corrupt and unelected regime keeping tabs on another corrupt and unelected regime using non-cutting edge aircraft.
  15. I don't claim to be an expert, but the Beretta M9 series has undergone a few design changes since it's introduction in 1985. It typically has a magazine designed to carry 15 or 17 rounds. In 2021 the latest version, the M9A4, came with an 18 round magazine and some other upgrades. They do make some extended magazines (20, 30, 32, & 35 round) but these are not conducive to carrying the firearm.
  16. Yes, if you want to attract this type of tourist then make an easy visa that is good for six months that they can obtain in their home country prior to traveling to Thailand. A lot easier and less mess than having to waste a day or two going to immigration to purchase another short term extension to stay in the country.
  17. Other than Iran, looks like he's wanting to get the band back together again. Not going to happen.
  18. Putin is very nervous to leave his somewhat safe bunker in the Kremlin. Take an official trip outside of Russia? Too many chances of bad things happening to him.
  19. News Headline: Raptor hunting season officially begins in Prachuap Khiri Khan
  20. A sad day for Thailand to sit on the fence and not make a decision to support the people of Ukraine. Some day, when Thailand is encroached upon, I hope that they will be just as understanding when they are not supported. I assume that they just didn't want to upset mother Russia and big brother China.
  21. That's pretty much what I do. I vary between a #4, #5, and #6 on top and then a little lighter on the sides. I also use the two tapers they include for around the ears. I've been using the same set for 21 years. Clean it every so often but have never oiled it.
  22. I don't plan on living full time in my home country or Thailand. Instead I stay in Thailand for 4-5 months over the northern hemisphere winter and the remaining amount in my home country. My house is paid off in my home country and my condo and two houses in Thailand are also both paid off.
  23. I bought my own set of clippers many years ago. It came with a lot of attachments for cutting your hair to a certain length plus a left and right ear taper. The longest is 25mm and there are attachments with fixed length increments all the way down to zero. If I had longer hair then I would definitely go to a local barber. Since I keep my hair fairly short I can just do this once a month or so.
