I use Grab where I live, as calling a regular cab incurs an extra 20B, and possibly more. I can hail a taxi and pay 120B to go to the town. I call a grab to go to the same place and it costs 95B. A taxi to the hospital is always 130b. By Grab its 95b and the car is ALWAYS cleaner. Its a no brainer.

7 Years ago with Enterprise. Thai 5 yr Licence, but not asked for IDP.

I didn't see that originally, but now I can understand the outrage. Socks and sandals! Shock horror! Whatever next?

As has been said many, many times, "There is no cure for stupidity." Problem being, there is far to much of it about.

I have been here few years now, and am close to the end of my time, 'Possibly'. I really do not think I will ever see this kind of change? I wouldn't expect to see any change in maybe two hundred years, because the mind set is too ingrained.

The issue was my placement of the VPN. It showed me in another country and therefore blocked any use of the app. Security of the highest order, although all past transactions were visible with totals of each A/C, I was totally unable to do any banking business. I cannot blame Revolut for my mistake, they were being rightfully careful.

Each to their own. I am not criticizing. I like the occasional KFC, but it is very rare. As to McDonald's, I would rather you than me.

Joined up thinking I guess. Governments are not so good at that in many cases.

Looks like you only eat junk food, so the more the merrier I guess!😁

Was this a card transaction or did you use the phone for the transaction? I always use my Revolut card and state to the till operator, "Thai Baht," to avoid any confusion. I have never paid fees when using the card, When transferring money from abroad to a Thai bank, I first transfer the amount to the Thai A/C on the phone, then transfer that Thai mount to the Thai bank. The total fee for this transaction is approx 120B. DO NOT transfer on Sat/Sunday or the fees will really be over the top. I don't have a bricks and mortar bank in the UK, only the Revolut bank. All my incomes, except two, are paid into Revolut and have been for the past 7 years with no problems on their side. I did have one of my own making. I use a VPN on the phone occasionally and forgot to turn it off. Total bloody confusion for almost a week, before I realised what was wrong! Getting old has its down sides!

Depends on the person doing the squats, how they were monitored, if at all, and whether the squatter was given water or not in this heat? I get the impression this was done in a class room or other place out of general view, or there may have been questions asked had another teacher seen this punishment?

I feel sure the orphans would appreciate the gesture...if they ever got to see the generosity of the giver???!!!

It appears the 'J' was the one thing you obviously overlooked!

I don't use Thai mail and my family in the UK don't use Royal Mail, due to the overly excessive time it takes. We now use DHL and in most cases is around the same price, but only takes 4 to 5 day max either direction. A couple of months ago, my UK bank posted a replacement Debit card. I believe it may be on its way to Mars. After much persuasion, I manage to get the bank to agree for my grand daughter to collect the replacement. Needless to say, 4 days later DHL delivered.

He doesn't need to prove himself right. You have done it for him in your previous post. Quite honestly, I wouldn't go back the UK for all the rice in china. I give it 10 to 15 years and British white people will be a minority. It was a dump when I left 30 years ago and the only thing it has been good for since, is just getting worse. There was once a time people could look forward to the future. All they can do now is look back on a once glorious past, with envy.
