Sadly.....yes!!! 😥

My favourite Thai dish too, with the fried egg ("kai dow") - I generally order it "Pet" (spicy) and let the waiter laugh at me while I sweat over my lunch!

Ahhh... Your reply really choked me! 😆

Me too!

Wrong sort of Indian, mate 😆

That's why the SD or XD card option is the way to go. All my 300gb of music is on my external disks and I copy subsets of it to my phone, tablets and a USB stick for my car. All as MP3 format. That way I can use WHATEVER program / App I choose to play it and I never need to be online to do so. For Android I use either "Music Folder Player Free" from the Play Store or 1by1 https://mpesch3.de/1by1.html If I get a new device, I either swap the card across or get a new card and re-copy from my PC using a USB cable Not sure if this helps the OP or not?

And when you get it back, check the "Permitted to stay" date is 60 days from when you entered including your day of entry. IOs have been known to make mistakes - this year, before the visa-free period extended to 60 days, I had a tourist visa but the IO accidentally stamped me in for 30 days instead of 60 - oops! I politely pointed it out to him and he corrected it for me - smiles all round.

Ah...I didn't realise that - thanks. 👍 In UK it it is referred to and sold as Rapeseed Oil In which case it has been discussed.

I would never think she did 🙄😎😋

And probably a lot longer until it works properly! Less flippantly, thanks @chuang for asking - you saved me bothering - hopefully they won't have implemented it by Feb 2025 when I go to Thailand visa-free for the first time in decades 😊

Everyone in Thailand has a nickname. So as the each town... In that case..... Pattaya = Disneyland for adults 😋

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Rapeseed oil. According to many medical authorities including this one Is rapeseed oil healthy? - BHF it's quite healthy. Quote " "It is low in saturated fat, the fat that can raise cholesterol levels. In fact, it has the lowest amount of saturated fat of any oil. It has just half the amount found in olive oil." I've been using it for cooking for several years and I find it quite agreeable, and, interestingly when I come to wash the pan, it washes off far more easily than other oils. This tells me it's "lighter" I will use olive oil on salads, but generally just enough to thin out the light mayonnaise (which of course also contains oil)

Where could he have got the idea???????

There most certainly is - API has been in place for 20 years Exit checks fact sheet - GOV.UK And, of course when you enter UK you have to scan your passport or go to the desk and see an IO

The Winter Fuel payment was paid to everyone who received the State Pension. One did not need to claim it as such - I never did but it started automatically after I reached State Penson age and claimed my State Pension. So for each of 3 years I received a letter from DWP telling me when I would get my payment. It was £200 in 2021, £500 in 2022 and £500 in 2023 including Pensioner Cost of Living Payment. It has now been changed such that you have be in receipt of certain benefits to qualify for it https://www.gov.uk/winter-fuel-payment/eligibility so in 2024 my letter confirmed that change and therefore I will not receive it this year.
