The people here are generally speaking better behaved than they are back home (UK) 😉

Motorbike drivers who have taken out the baffles (silencer) in the exhaust and make a serious amount of noise! I f*****g hate it!! 😉

Hi, I received a link in a private message from someone who's not in my contacts (an admin who's known to me) in response to my request to join a WhatsApp group. After a little web research I'm told all I need to do is click on 'Join Group' but there's no invite to join the group. There's just the link. I'd ask the admin but there's no response due to time differentials at the moment and I need immediate access Any ideas? Cheers

I have occasionally seen the police on the MRT and the BTS but think they're just getting from A to B. Don't understand why the OP thinks they're necessary. In all the years I've been using the MRT and BTS I've never seen a problem...does get a bit overcrowded at times though 😉

Yeah, the app last quake has its epicentre in Myanmar. The devastation in that poor country could be huge 😪

Hi, I've joined a UK based WhatsApp group on my iPhone with a UK SIM. I need to join the group again with another number, (not using a Thai SIM) still keeping my membership of the group with the UK SIM number. Basically, two memberships of the same WhatsApp group with different numbers. How to do this in a cost effective manner? Challenge for any of you techies out there! Thanks for any advice Bill

I passed BKK security with my electric toothbrush without any problems. Leaving Hong Kong for Manila at the end of the month will update how I get on. Cheers

Thanks for all the answers. I'm going to risk it. 😉

Hi, I'm flying to BKK to Hong Kong next month with carry on baggage only. I want to take my electric toothbrush but I've heard they can be confiscated due to the pointed tong that holds the brush. Anyone with any info? I could contact the airline but it's not them that decides, it's security. Thanks

Thanks for all the help. Appreciated! 🙂

I messaged Jacks and they answered, FULL. I ended up going on to Thaksin Bridge. It was very busy but doable. They closed the road which gave everyone more space to spread out. I got some great video from there
