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.

Possibly a missed point here? Have the parents been encouraging his computer studies, but maybe not aware of his advancement into AI development? All kids are curious animals, so think back to your own childhood. Did you tell your parents everything, and especially about your becoming aware of the opposite sex? Kids here today are at the stage I was perhaps 70 years ago, there are some things you just don't talk about, even among friends.

I second Kasikorn, simplicity itself. Never used BBL.

"The financial burden of treating these injuries totalled 7.827 billion baht, with motorcycle-related injuries responsible for 80% of these costs." That is a lot of cash, so one has to assume it is the cash amount, driving this helmet awareness campaign? It certainly doesn't appear to be in concern for the motorcyclist. The rainy season contributes to at least 20% of these 'accidents', because of the state of the roads. Riding in the rain is an art in itself, but having to dodge POTHOLES, or be thrown off because of them, is the responsibility of the local government. At least 50% of the problem is down to the serious lack of rider training, the responsibility of the main government. And the last 30%? Laid squarely at the feet of the police. Why! Well we all know they are about as much use as BOOBS ON A FISH! I could go on, but the dent I was intent on making in the brick wall, is not working as planned.

TAX = LEGAL THEFT

Strange, how do utility poles grow branches with leaves?

Ah, but just think of all the problems that could happen on the way, if he ever made it?

You are suggesting joined up thinking. That can be a something of a stretch for some, even those in authority!

SO! Why are you still here?? Give us a break, PLEASE??!!

Emerging from what? In many cases as seen across the country it is still Neanderthal, say the wrong thing or look the wrong way and get beaten to death.

For the head aches no doubt?

Stuck with one of these perhaps?

When Thai Immigration first asked for Embassy Letters of confirmation of income, foreigners were NOT required to submit tax returns! How then was it possible to imply, it was done for tax purposes??? I suggest you go back under your bridge and have another think on your postings.

"Did they not see that happening"? ....... Would they ever? More to the point, they went looking for the problems and trouble it would cause. Then obviously found it.
