  1. History schmistory... the victors write the books anyway, but the few tidbits we learned in school are useful as background topics for a myriad of subjects I was very good at geography back in school (70s), but these days there are so many new countries popping up, I'd be lucky to find some on a map. The only map my thai university educated mrs can read is a google map... and she can only read the blue line, the arrows, and meters remaining We're visiting Europe for a month, the mrs' first trip outside of Thailand and Australia... I'm sure she will be amazed!
  2. I cannot comment on the ZS, but I've been renting a new(ish) HS for a month and a half so far here in Australia and I can say it's very mediocre. It is not ergonomic or comfortable, it's loud and there's lots of sway on corners (as previously mentioned). I haven't actually measured the fuel economy, but it doesn't seem so great for such an underpowered vehicle. As for power, I can get up to speed on the highway, but the transmission does wind out often when accelerating. I find the console controls poorly designed and the display is slow and sluggish. Steering radius sucks bigtime for such a small car. The 'MG Pilot' is a total nightmare with false breaking and all kinds of unexpected surprises The cruise control is utter crap and has a mind of it's own. The car is loud and the aerodynamics have not been considered... The window controls are erratic and difficult to 'crack' the window to your liking When you are able to open the window just a bit, be prepared to not listen to music Speaking of music, the sound system sucks Oh, and the rear camera isn't protected well in the rain to the point of usefulness. It might be cheap, but in my opinion cheap is all you'd get buying an MG. Caveat emptor (BTW, I wouldn't own this junk for free)
  3. This happened to my wife and me, but the taxi was a boat and we were left stranded on Koh Thale Waek ????????
  4. Took all of two seconds to find out everything about a P Trap with a simple Google search
  5. Interesting...I saw the news clip where he was swearing that it was four ladies... the person asking was trying to understand if he meant ladies or ladyboys and he was adamant that they were ladies
  6. All these comments about if you can afford the goods, then you can afford paying tax on the goods... <deleted>??? The taxes were already paid when the goods were bought, on income that was already taxed according (btw), no?
  7. Whatever you do... be careful: There are nasty scammers out there right at the top of the google search for Thailand Pass! WARNING SCAM WEBSITE!!
  8. There's a *slight* difference between this very wealthy Indian guy and the hordes negotiating four for the price of one deals on Walking Street!
  9. Just wondering after reading about all this rigamarole and suffering... why not apply for permanent residence if you've been there for over three years? It might be painful for the application, but after it's done, it's pretty much done... and dusted
  10. He does it because it fits within his belief system... the same belief system that's been around from the start. This is not the flu, everyone needs to treat this with kid gloves, otherwise, the world wouldn't be in the situation it is right now.
  11. Lesson of the story: Don't by critical technology from China <sheeesh>
  12. I use both Transferwise (now called Wise) and XE... Wise is much quicker (sometimes under 5 minutes), especially on weekends, and the credit card is a bonus. XE is good too, if you're not in a hurry.
  13. Thong Lor Police cover down to Asoke, maybe even further AFAIK
  14. I just wonder what short-time will cost by the time it's worth going there on holiday
