Might get me in trouble. [Clasps hands together and looks at the sky] "Diversity is our greatest strength" 3 times.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:46:42 +0000A few months ago I had ordered an external hard drive, which crashed immediately after I plugged it into my laptop. I stupidly tried to fix it, spending 300 baht on 3rd party software that did not help. The Vendor sent a bunch of repetitive nonsense responses to my chat questions. I should have just returned it within the window. MY FAULT! It took a while, but Toshiba confirmed it was a fake. Since I was outside the return window, Lazada claimed they'd contact the vendor, but take no other action. Even provided proof this was a fake, they did not to take the page down. My wife and I are very heavy users of Lazada - Honestly, problems are rare. But their Customer Service Help is pretty awful.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:46:05 +0000It’s impressive that you’d fixate on the electricity used by a dryer that someone might run once every week or two for a few hours to dry a load of laundry. Meanwhile, you run an absurd number of air conditioners, computers, and refrigerators 24/7/365. Your carbon footprint is well beyond that of the average person in Thailand. Talk about being completely deluded and in total denial about your own impact on the environment. It’s the environmentalist version of stepping on a scale with your eyes closed and declaring yourself fit. You remind me of Leonardo DiCaprio flying to India on a private jet to lecture poor villagers, many of whom don’t even have reliable electricity or flush toilets, about reducing their carbon emissions on their coal burning used for cooking. The average Indian’s carbon footprint is roughly one sixth that of the average American, while DiCaprio’s is probably closer to a few hundred times that of the people he’s lecturing. Nothing says “save the planet” quite like burning thousands of gallons of jet fuel to explain to people with almost no footprint at all that they’re the problem. The irony here is that you’re obsessing over a clothes dryer while ignoring the far larger environmental impact of your own lifestyle. That’s not environmental awareness. That’s selective accountability. Such a shame you’re opposed to clothing dryers. If you weren’t, you’d probably buy five of them, run them all at the same time, and then spend the afternoon lecturing everyone else n AN about how wonderful and environmentally conscious your lifestyle is thanks to all your modern appliances. After all, when it comes to consumption, your hypocritical philosophy seems to be that excess is perfectly acceptable, provided it’s your excess.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:45:38 +0000Looking at the comments on here. Reminds me of a bad comedy show.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:45:19 +0000ConfrontationFri, 12 Jun 2026 01:45:11 +0000Many of us have multiple SIMs and Phones. If you forget which phone and SIM to use and try to login on the wrong phone/SIM combination the HMRC app doesn't work.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:44:02 +0000Will never happen under this government. Probably be put up in a 4 star hotel.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:44:00 +0000Defence Secretary Healey, was essentially a civilian bureaucrat overseeing the armed forces with almost zero personal understanding of military life or operations, but in this case of funding, or lack of it, he is correct!Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:43:39 +0000They added them up and Donald Trump has stated 38 seperate times during the current three and a half month long "WAR", that Peace was at hand. .. almost there. This is the 39th BTW. One of these times he is going to be right. As they say, even an obese, senile, diseased, blind squirrel, finds a nut on occasion. Still I wouldn't bet on it.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:43:11 +0000Starmer obviously thinks it's more important to give British taxpayers money to foreign nations than to defend Britain. Billions to the asylum system to bring violence to our streets? Sign him up. Spending on defence? Not so much. Given that he hates the place and the people it's natural that he would reach such a conclusion.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:41:16 +0000Haha...what a load of 💩😊 You could easily be describing yourself. It's only you who does not see it.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:40:42 +0000Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:37:26 +0000Thailand offers everything for retirees and at a fraction of the cost in most other countries. Visas are one of the easiest and as for citizenship, one of the simplist to obtain, marry a Thai and work after as little as 3 years you can become eligibleFri, 12 Jun 2026 01:37:03 +0000Samsung washer and dryer front loader unitsunits ,, believe the washer is a 16kg then we have a seperate samsung washer for all the dog towels/blankets would love line drying some items but.. not a fan of bird crap and farm machinery dustFri, 12 Jun 2026 01:36:56 +0000Again, you are projecting and provoking on purpose, becoming desperate for my attention. The man with the hook He does not come to understand. He comes with a hook. A question, a joke, a small insult dressed as curiosity. He does not need the truth. He only needs someone to bite. Once they answer, he changes the frame. The subject disappears, and the person becomes the target. Short replies are weakness. Long replies are obsession. Silence is defeat. Every answer becomes proof. The point is not truth. The point is control. Anger feeds him. Explanations feed him. Even rejection tells him the hook still works. But the hook has no power without someone holding the line. See it. Name it once. Then let it fall. The man with the hook only wins inside his own frame. Step outside, and there is nothing left to catch.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:36:55 +0000Wasn't he here for a certain coronation?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:36:48 +0000Here you can see again that the family is the most sacred thing for the Thais. Or should I be wrong?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:35:44 +0000I completely agree with what ‘Jingthing’ says, but as a European I wouldn’t want to live in an EU country under any circumstances; the taxes, rules and laws are getting worse by the day. Although my motto is ‘there’s no such thing as paradise on earth’, I’m very happy after living here in LOS for almost 30 years.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:33:48 +0000Yes we got stories on your SAS/ Seal days Thanks for your serviceFri, 12 Jun 2026 01:33:23 +0000The Thai legal system is largely built on a system of complaints. The idea is that an injured party will make a complaint against the transgressor. However when both the giver and the recipient of a bribe are complacent, nothing happens.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:32:05 +0000You go to Elizabeth in South Australia they easy to spot.😄Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:32:05 +0000Your reply to @Gottfrid was lame. That's all there is to it. You could have just laughed it off. But you are just too...sensitive, to do that. Always trying to deflect. What makes your observation neutral, gossipy chicken?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:31:21 +0000"The school of life has a high tuition" to quote Ben FranklinFri, 12 Jun 2026 01:31:02 +0000No, and I've used both Lazada and Shoppee for over five years now. I've gotten full refunds on a couple of items, and never had a problem with that. I even got a full refund for a pair of golf shoes I wore for 18 holes and then decided to return.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:29:31 +0000
