Just a heads up for any Heinz Baked Bean aficionados here on Samui.. Big C has them at THB 69 a tin (415gm). I normally pay around THB120 0n Lazada.

I once tried to read the Terms & Conditions of I think it was the the Rabbit Card for travel on the BTS. They were very extensive, and stated that customers agreed to being videotaped on BTS stations, recorded on microphones and tracked throughout the system. Seeing as nowadays, under the excuse of preventing money laundering, users are required to give ID or Passport details to obtain the Rabbit Card, it's easy to track and identify anyone and everyone as they pass through the ticket barriers. It's not hard to imagine that the BTS are doing exactly the same. I tried posting them here on AN once on a thread about privacy, but they were removed for some reason by a moderator.

Thai submarine plans "sink." Great play on words. 😀 Germany halts submarine engine sale. That will "go down" well with the Thai gov't. Has all this "torpedoed" the Royal Thai Navy's desire to have a submarine?

The security guards on the platforms with their whistles.

Trump means fart, at least it used to in British English. I remember it's use as a child. Also some other meanings: https://medium.com/extra-extra/in-england-trump-means-fart-it-s-even-funnier-in-20-other-languages-91a082c805e9

I think there is something to be said for such so called celebrities allowing their children to grow up away from the spotlight, not spoiling them, and allowing them to try and have as normal an upbringing as possible. Two that come to mind are Paul McCartney, who I believe sent his to children to the local government school, and Gordon Ramsey, who has stated his offspring need to make their own way in life, and makes them travel in Economy on family trips.

Why didn't she go herself?

Isn't his friend Elon from SA?

Maybe buy online from Aliexpress once you are here. Pretty sure I have seen them on there. If you do want to take the risk of bringing one in, I would suggest you remove the batteries first. 1. it will show up less on any X-ray. 2. You wouldn't want it accidentally turning on and creating a suspicious buzzing noise from your luggage.

Trump hotels and real estate being built across the region, a gold plated Boeing, investments in $TRUMP. I wonder if any of this has anything to do with his visit. Next stop Mar a Gaza.

Perhaps they don't like their neighbours.

Tops occasionally sells fresh Australian spinach leaves, and also Waitrose frozen spinach balls. Also seen spinach leaves in Makro. I didn't look at any scientific names as Zaphod Priest has mentioned, but the Waitrose frozen was definitely spinach.

It's getting more difficult. Those that have been here many years under the radar might manage it. More recent ones though. Sooner or later their passports will expire, even if they are using another identity. Renewal time may present a problem, but if they can renew, but never leave the country, they may continue to lay low. Nowadays the finger printing might be the downfall. Do the Thai authorities fingerprint travellers departing by land or sea? They have done by air for a few years now. Are these prints checked against any foreign databases? Or just to check who enters, leaves?

I had mine hacked when back in Europe. I only used it in two places to buy a coffee. both via handheld terminals. It was only when I was checking my bill that I saw someone had run up £400 on Facebook Ads. My bank took the hit, but new card is in the UK so I can't get it until I next fly back. I don't trust the post. I use the scan to pay option here for shopping with my Thai bank account as I don't have a Thai credit card. Other than that, cash. But I am very wary of using my actual UK debit cards anywhere. Unlike credit cards, no protection on debit cards.

He doesn't need them to buy him a plane to bribe him. That's what the $TRUMP coin is for.
