  1. Last time they had crack down (2020) on begging and aggressive monkeys at Khao Tang Kuan in Songkhla it was castration, some 200 faced the chop. Surprised they're trapping them again so soon, but would suspect they face a similar fate. https://thethaiger.com/news/south/monkeys-castrated-after-causing-chaos-in-songkhla
  2. Indeed, which is why American voters without a college degree were more likely to vote for Donald Trump
  3. You can hear for yourself August 15th 2024, Bedminster, New Jersey. https://www.instagram.com/mddems/reel/DF-tFGtJYlD/ “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one”
  4. But I recall Trump clearly stating prices will fall day one, I think it's more the Orange One that failed economics.
  5. With Trump it's always someone else's fault
  6. Is this article parody or reality? It's become increasingly hard to distinguish the two.
  7. Indeed, sometimes there's nothing to say in response to inanity or insanity. But require some small token to acknowledge the scale of the fatuity.
  8. Well a protest vote is actually doing something, so the facetious use of emojis is the equivalent of spoiling my ballot paper
  9. True, but some posts just aren't worthy of the effort
  10. Agreed, if you're going to have a thumbs-up you really ought to have a thumbs-down
  11. That's true if you're starting with USD, because the margin between buy and sell is so narrow. However, this is not the case for most other currency pairs, certainly for the two currencies I use SGD and GBP, transferring any amount into THB with Wise is a win.
  12. Not in my case, I arrange the transfer in Wise, send them the required SGD from my HSBC Singapore account to their account in Singapore using PayNow, transfer is free and instantaneous. On receipt Wise pay to my Thai bank account, usually within seconds. .
  13. They use Thai partners like Kasikorn and Dee Money, who pay out THB on Wise's behalf, Wise reciprocate for the partner bank in the foreign currency.
  14. From Singapore transfers of 3 to 5K SGD take seconds, very rarely do I get a "sorry transfer is taking longer than usual" message.
  15. God's going to be sorely disappointed
  16. Over the years I've met a whole regiment of SAS whilst drinking in bars around the world. The only person I ever drank with who was SAS never told me, I only found out at his funeral.
  17. It's OK, sorted. Although it says earliest appointment still when you select another date, so long as time slots appear you're at that date, though it doesn't confirm this until you get to the end. They could make things clearer.
