  1. Idiotic story and possible move by Spain. It's the Spanish themselves that like to keep very late hours for eating and drinking due to their siesta time shift in the day. Go to any restaurant very late and you will find mainly Spanish patrons...bars are more of an even split.
  2. I can't imagine an overstayer choosing to fly domestically. Maybe include cross-provincial ferries, trains and toll booths if they want to get the net cast properly?
  3. Only for so long you can abuse and neglect captive/semi-captive wild(sic)-life and expect them to florish or even just survive... RIP innocent animals
  4. Not enough! A friend of my wife had huge discounts on Agoda simply because of stacking, many offers ONLY stack, you cannot turn the stacking feature off for them. Scour through YCS, turn EVERY discount, promotion and scheme off. The worst ones are Agodas own schemes, "AGX" etc., bin the lot and start again. Remember Agoda also charges higher commission than the other OTAs, typically 5% higher for this part of the world.
  5. If a private company owned cable, it could be an interesting law suit. Cut the cable, see who comes to repair it....
  6. Back in Europe I chose a Tassimo machine for home and L'Or pods. Great combo and better than friends Nespresso machines. Unfortunately there is no Tassimo in Thailand. I have the home grown Bon Cafe system here. Good coffee, pods are better value than most and they regularly do a, buy bulk coffee pack and get machine free deal.
  7. I didn't see a link for the Thai Gov list of homes referred to given anywhere? Preferably southern places for a relly...
  8. If there is absolute proof of a heinous crime e.g. clear cctv footage, then yes, put the "dog" down. The same for repeat offenders of serious crime, two strikes and you're gone. If they are a serious danger to society then remove them permanently at minimal expense to the taxpayer.
  9. Did one of these rides with the very keen kiddies many years ago, against my better judgement. On that day, this particular elephant was obviously not happy and the mahoot was trying to drive it on. We told him to RTB, he was reluctant until I said don't worry, I won't ask for refund. On turning the elephant back homeward it calmed down completely and happily headed back home. On both principal and experience, never again.
  10. It can be a little fickle on PC. I can usually use Wallet to make a purchase but cannot withdraw funds to my bank account, which doesn't bother me. On occasion wallet won't work and I use the Android app instead. The only reason I don't normally use the A app is my cranky old phone misbehaves when the app is installed. Install to complete function and then uninstall afterwards.
  11. More slap than tickle! "Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola La-la-la-la Lola"
  12. Don't use Agoda. Their listed price is NEVER the final price.
  13. Extremely bad idea. Pets simply do not belong in shops/malls etc. My pooch stays at home during shopping trips and I have no desire to change that.
  14. Yup! Orange pack is garlic Red pack is spicy My favourite green pack is herb. Very good and beat nearly all of the supposed "English" sausages I've tried here. I've not tried the Aro ones yet but in the frozen section there are the longer and skinnier "herb" ones. Not a breakfast sausage but still very tasty. I'm also partial the sweet Thai sausage, usually sliced diagonally thin and stir fried in various dishes.
  15. In other breaking news today. The sun is expected to "plummet" below the horizon at 18:15...????
  16. In answer to my own question. Why do I always forget about Prasut bikes in Kathu?! Great place, plug procured.
  17. ***Update*** As of a few minutes ago the profile section is now working. Property address and details duly entered, saved and now showing as they should. Hurrah! Interesting note, it looks like the new system allows multiple properties under one account.
  18. Yes! My wife is reporting the same address issue for her establishment. During registration there was no option to manually enter the address. Her account has been "successfully created" but she cannot complete any TM30 entries because the form wants the address box filled, which cannot be done. Either this is a basic oversight or Immi needs to load the address from the documents provided to then auto-fill on the form?
  19. Very similar happened in the country my kids were educated. In this case it was notebooks of very poor quality and massively out of date given to all secondary level students. The notebooks were never used in class, were too old tech to run the school programmes properly and only worth a fraction of the cost to the education department. Again, some connected people made a killing. I'd bet that most kids phones would be more capable than any tablet offered. In regions were it is common for children not to have phones due to poverty, I doubt they will ever see these "equal-opportunity" devices.
  20. What a shame the two victims were not of the aggressive type often in the Pattaya news. They would have pummeled the dirt-bag!
  21. A shop on Lazada using the Laz mail delivery service means Lazada delivered it, the shop only supplied it ????????
  22. Lazada deliver copies to your door. Here's a copy bought locally.... There are clues in both the packaging and the plug itself.
