Thanks. Rimmer had responded before. Learned about a place where I don't want to be.

Tap/swipe for payment, buying online, all cashless transactions is a different matter. I meet some requirements at my bank so they do not take 1.75% (VISA card). I rarely use it as I have three local accounts.

Forgot to add a 😁 Of course not.

MelaTOnin, not Melanin (what you refer too).

The interesting aspect: is there a regular prison on Pattaya area or just holding cells in Soi 9? On a Friday evening you can give 20k (or 30k?) to the drunk drivers so they can get out on bail waiting for their short trial on Monday.

That's a favorite in Thai prisons

You are right. Mixed it up.

Characteristics without words: The "flower" right of the portrait also shows a holographic (3D) effect in good light. The previous Bhumipol note is much simpler.

From the article: And I am sure there are more characteristics that can be tested. I doubt the fake notes have real watermarks and the metallic strips and flower(?) right of the portrait are iridescent (changing color/reflection depending on view angle).

Quite rare now. A thing of the 80s and early 90s (the "VOKUHILA", front short back long). Particularly often seen at former East Germans after the fall.

Two in row on my thread list: Sleep, sleep. A third recent case cost lifes. Again and again. It is and will stay a third world country regarding traffic and safety.

Take Kazakhstan, a breeding found for islamist extremists.

I am so glad that I could resist to have an E85 adapter installed when the price was 18 Baht. (car is specified for E20)

350$ (13000 Baht) !!! She must have magic skills!

Now think of more countries you can grant visa exempt entry no less than 90 days for a start.

The prices posted are the "starting" prices that you find (close to) on the eastern seaboard (Pattaya, Rayong etc.) and Bangkok. The further away the more is added. We pay about 0.5 Baht more. AND: from my Samui visit during COVID time I know that there must be a much higher "Island" surcharge.

18% fuel price increase leading to 18% increase of "everything". Hard to believe what economic geniuses are posting here,

Price ceiling was lifted effective April 2. 100 billion Baht have been burned for that since September. So far not much impact (except Shell with +0.5). Maybe due to the promise of PTT that prices during Songkran won't rise. (most info from The Nation) It's naive to assume that Thai fuel prices follow simple market mechanisms/oil price. It's a complicated system (oil fund) and politically driven. One effect is the stable Diesel price and high flying 95 gasohol. 91 promoted to be significantly cheaper than 95.

I have 32 pages now back to Nov 13 last year. OK the cloud is big and I don't whether it impacts performance in any kind?

deleted event over?

Incl. the driver is my guess, Driving in such vans: always an adventure. Night time driving in such vans: NEVER!

After the big Asian crisis 1997/1998 most currencies jumped to new higher levels. That lasted until the other big financial crisis became obvious (Lehman breakdown). GBP got an extra hit after the Brexit decision 2016. So the current gains triggered by terrible/populist financial policies in Thailand are nice but nothing historic yet.

After burning 100 billion Baht for the Diesel price cap they might have to stop the nonsense with 91. No wonder the currency melts.

The small village pumps don't have 91 anymore. Interestingly the wise government decided to subsidize 91 to make a significant price difference which was marginal for many years. As 91 is good enough for scooters, lawn mowers etc. this might well lead to a shortage. Overall the price difference was about 0.25 and now that: The prices show the reverse side of the good exchange rates (weak THB) combined with rising oil prices. 95 now at about 1 EUR.
