Yours would too and you're lying if you say otherwise.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:34:17 +0000When I try to plug in my computer (and other appliances) to a wall plug or an extension cord, it's hit and miss. Mostly miss. Some of the time the plugs fits right in. Some of the time I can wiggle it until it goes in. But often it just doesn't fit at all and I am unable to plug it in. I tried purchasing several different brands of extension cords. Same results. Has anyone solved this problem? If there is a specific product, or brand, that you can recommend? Preferably available on Shopee...Thu, 28 May 2026 00:32:13 +0000False accusations against Israel won't change the truth, either.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:31:56 +0000Championing "extinction" of Jews -- where have we heard that one before?Thu, 28 May 2026 00:31:13 +0000I didn't know i was your secretary.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:30:16 +0000It's a smart move on Israel's part. A celebration of Israel's founding would have attracted protests that perhaps would become violent . No one will protest against Israel donating equipment to Mercy Farm. Israel marks its independence day with a good-will gesture. 👍Thu, 28 May 2026 00:29:30 +0000I can't get into Shopee either. For several years now I've used Lazada, without any problems. When you buy something online make sure you pay for it by Cash On Delivery. The reason I say this is if you pre pay for the item you purchased and your not home the driver is likely to leave it outside your front gate if it's locked. Keep in mind we are living in Thailand.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:27:41 +0000The violence, genocide and the illegal occupation of sovereign countries is solely caused by the apartheid state Israel with unconditional support from the US. That's a fact. Gaslighting, throwing pro-Israel talking points and money at Thai projects won't change the truth.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:27:39 +0000Tell us what you are not happy with, and mybe it can be sorted out without buying a new one.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:24:23 +0000You know loads of innocent people in Thai jails? How come ? Looks like there's a story there ...Thu, 28 May 2026 00:23:18 +0000No need to overthink it. Just head out looking like the AN dude with the over -4000 reputation and you'll never have any problems in Thailand. 👌🏼👍🏼Thu, 28 May 2026 00:19:50 +0000I asked about immigration because if you are in Bangkok you would apply Samut Prakan if located there however if located elsewhere in Bangkok you would apply at CW for extension to setv entry. IT mall LakSi if you enter visa exempt.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:15:06 +0000Thailand is much closer to Russia than Israel. Talk about killing (and stealing) innocent children. The Israel demonization brigade is weirdly focused on only one tiny nation as if the world's problems would magically be solved if that one country vanished. We know what that's really about.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:14:50 +0000Beelink for me too. Just quit Microsoft, Linux Mint works perfectly. BQR6 with Ryzen 7 CPU, 1 TB NVME, 20GB RAM. But it was Bht 20,000Thu, 28 May 2026 00:14:01 +0000The laborious and resilient middle-class you mention - mostly the vast majority of the population not only in Thailand but also in the developed and emerging economies - are the ones who pay taxes and finance the State governance. Not the poor (obviously), not the wealthy (less obvious but factual, an example being the LTR visa allowing tax-free remittances privilege for those who reach the wealth threshold conditions).Thu, 28 May 2026 00:13:23 +0000100% correct, transaction went through last night.. $45 debit and $1.58 trans fee which is exactly 3.5%, which is no big deal anyway. Good to know though by the time I use the card again I will have forgotten all this information 🤣Thu, 28 May 2026 00:13:11 +0000That plate glass is deadly At the very least the replacement should be tempered glass that shaters into small pieces.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:08:09 +0000I've been living in Thailand for 25 years and married to a Thai for 23 years. I'm 81 yo, still active and walk 90 minutes daily. I live in a very good large estate, no trouble makers, in fact I've never seen a police car since I moved into this estate 20 years ago. I'm the only farang in my estate but I do have a few Thai friends. Am I happy in Thailand, yes as I have a good wife but the things I miss being originally from Melbourne Australia, is going the footy and going to the boozer with my mates. Sadly several of them have passed on.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:07:48 +0000Budget 6 to 8000 Baht. I cannot get into Shopee, I have tried many times over the years. I have been recommended to get a Beelink EQ 13 PRO which is around 5000 Baht from Lazada, who are always a last resort for me.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:06:10 +0000WeirdThu, 28 May 2026 00:02:40 +0000According to this, Jared Kushner is influencing things in Israel. Abdullah Marouf explains why he believes Israel’s plan to take control of Al-Aqsa Mosque has been obvious for years. The revered Muslim site has for decades been administered by the Jordanian-appointed Islamic Waqf. The new US proposal is being championed by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, and US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. The proposal seeks to replace the Waqf with a new authority appointed by the Israeli government.Wed, 27 May 2026 23:58:50 +0000Get your gf to do itWed, 27 May 2026 23:53:50 +0000That shows incredible self-restraint and discipline and dedication to his profession. Reminds me of a guy on here, georgegeorgia, who takes several trips a year to Pattaya but never partakes in the bar scene.Wed, 27 May 2026 23:50:57 +0000Most countries do but they fall short of killing innocent people and kids. If Thailand was serious they'd reject the offer which won't happen because there's money involved. Not one baht of that donation will go to where the people need it the most.Wed, 27 May 2026 23:49:59 +0000
