  1. Off-topic: Well, you are bringing money into Thailand to spend in Thailand. Good for Thailand, right? Why does the Thai govt. want to skim the money you are going to spend in Thailand? Me "may luchak" seriously. Thai companies are [suppose] paying their income and VAT taxes from the money they got from you, aren't they? Like you come to Dept. Store and there's fat guy at the doors asking you to pay "income to the Store" fee. Oy, maybe they don't get those taxes from thais at all? Like that noodle shop owner at China Town who owns nice house [rather castle] at Kamphen Phet but pays only 7.000/month ?
  2. that was trading funny coins like DOGE etc. but you can always buy USDT on Binance and cash it P2P in Thailand. I do, my friends do. 10 minutes.
  3. or else Article 5 of NATO would be evoked. Army warlords scared sh*tless.
  4. at Rama IX "CAT-guy" explained why "it is pricey" >>> be cause it contains "nukelar ayzotops". Yeah, my respect to that place dropped down to "papa-mama shop at China Town". Nukelar my ****! According to my observation - Samitivej is not much different from other "white collar" (middle class) hospitals incl. Bangkok Hospital (stay away), Rama 9 and others. Nice friendly place w/o "Welcome to super-duper palace". Also I like that hospital on Pahonyotin rd. near BigC and Saphan Kwai junction. No overpricing and no brand-name prescription.
  5. Why such a small event attracted 6 pages of "shared opinions and words of wisdom"? We all aware that there're somewhere farangs with 5-digits overstays, that Immigration police doesn't do their job properly yet punishment for overstay is harsh. Yes they come from different places, not only from Bangladesh or UK, but France and Turkey too. Seriously - was it newsworthy? 6 PAGES, KARL!
  6. Cute! 30000K VOLT >>> 30 Mega Volts. Why didn't write 666 G VOLT? or 777 T VOLT would be even better) Any way you can get those in China Town in BKK. A lot!
  7. I used to have this BB-Gun from special shop with BB-equipment. gas container and sh*t load of those plastic bullets. They also can help with "small & innocent" modification that will increase speed of them. When you go hunting - the perfect device. And lots of fun. But somehow the rifle is quite big and looks suspicious, so I sold it to our kindergarten.
  8. Wish all the best and somehow resolve these fees. (One dude had CAT scan and paid 35K at Bum. ridiculous charges. And that was like 15 years back)
  9. at least honest. how about you try to contact that doc away from Bum? They (most) have their own private practice. Why would you pay lab fees which are sickening high if they use the same machines as any "people hospital"? Some even outsources to city labs.
  10. that "system" is not a Marvel's Jarvis. Just huge and very unstable database. Every day they pray it won't crush.
  11. Neighbors will go nuts "enjoying" non-stop hauling and whining from blind and severed dying dogs for weeks. Please have some mercy. PS: I don't like them either, but such a torture...
  12. US could stop it within weeks >>> just bring Peace Corps and establish the buffer zones. Seems that this war [mass slaughter, genocide] is more profitable ... Sick, right? Officers knows how to do it, it is not a "rocket science", Pentagon has a know-how about this "operation". Why wouldn't they do it almost a year ago?
  13. Yes and No. there're a lot of rubbish "pepper sprays" available on the market. I tried few [don't ask why] and it only made them angrier. The Dazer >>> Ultrasonic device that should "put fear" in them. Lots of garbage. Yes it works but only on some idiot mongrels roaming around, but in "attack mode" - nope. I bought it on Ebay - only annoys them. Surprisingly electro-shocker's "buzzing and flickering" does the job, but again when they are in the "team work" - nah, not that efficient. So one very nice old lad from SAAS told me to stop "f****ing around and just DYI" After all we live in the bloody hot and cheap chili country. 10 thb a bag, good sprinkler (1m distance 200ml), add the cheapest vinegar and few drops of oil (to stick on the fur). You can have the most lethal device below 100thb. That will bring hell on their snouts and eyes. You'll never see them again. Proven. PS: This is very hardcore, you can make a cloud or "shoot" directly. Keep in mind you'll bring unbearable suffering on silly dumb mutts. PPS: SAAS veteran suggested to add bleach, but I consider this treatment as too extreme. Dog might go blind.
  14. Bumrungrad is the definition of what a modern hospital should not be. In every aspect. I guess it was a project for "upper-class" folks, who require certain luxury and extra comfort.
  15. Nope. Chula and Siriraj are very Thai hospitals. But ... If you know the doctor's name you can arrange an appointment (waiting upto 45 days). Success story: one sad guy had spine damage. severe. we found out the top surgeon from Chula. he waited almost 2 months for an appointment. got it. later got surgery - some "titanium thingies". 400K Is fine now. no more tramal/ultram He's 53-ish now. PS: Doctor speaks perfect English (for khun Thai) My point: it is not a hospital that cures. It's a doctor (Mrs.Walker <<< love it!)
  16. last Friday. afternoon session. now feels like mild-Dengi, but it is not. Just a phookin' virus. Get your "ticket" and get out immediately! Come in only when it is your time. PS: avoid CW food court at all costs!
  17. Too much of free speech! White House comments on some ex-journalist's interview. Obviously pre-election campaign. How pathetic! What's next? Lloyd Austin's coming out?
  18. Who FFS does watch RT? it is the worst channel, esp. considering tons of money spent. One dude jumped from from 23rd floor out of desperation - he has nothing to watch only RT and thai tv. Even PressTV, odious DW and complete junk EuroNews are still bearable unlike RT.
  19. the closest place to sell (not to auction, sell) is Singapore.
  20. 10 mil for few Youtube videos? You can have Dr.Jil do a lap dance on Tik Tok for 1% of that or Nikamundra do that Northern Indian dance for even less. Please! it is indeed "pure rubbish" for brainwashed. brings memories of 2016 election and "manipulations with voting machines and FB pages/posts".
  21. Many thanks for your kind responses. This thread should be closed as it goes nowhere: some am. teacher was arrested. what charges? no charges. what did happen in his "condo" (rather some cheap-a** rented flat proudly called "condo")? No any info and 3 pages of white noise. again thanks and no offence given/taken.
  22. I thought that in English speaking world every one pass through that book. I thought wrong. welcome to Albania.
  23. Yes! exactly that was a case of some freak from Italy-Spain (somewhere there) about 20+ years ago. Police apprehended him with a teenager and he said he was not a pedo, but gay on "receiving side". I think it was in Pattaya
  24. be cause "what do you expect me to do for the money they pay?" heard that excuse 100.000.000 times here
  25. Lovely! 27K quids for talking with washing machine. Well, it is the Game college after all ))))
