They just send a few million mail/SMS, hoping a small fraction of those messages will reach someone doing business with the company, and a small fraction of that small fractio...

Did they look for proof of that, such as the QR code? In Cha Am, they were completely uninterested in this.

I went to the Red Cross Clinic in the city centre. The only thing the doctor wanted to discuss was snow levels in Sweden... :o

Re: Thai Driving License renewal 2019 to 2025

I always knew there was a dress code, but this is the first time I've seen it in writing I've always worn decent shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and some nice sandals. I never had any problem with that, and I feel many others also have the same type of clothes. I always go to the Cha-Am office becau...

Re: Khao Takiab sunbeds

Of course none of this would work without GPS which is solely owned by the US government and developed and maintained by the US Airforce. The cost of maintaining it is close to $2 billion a year and is funded by US taxpayers. Free for the rest of the world. Aren't we lucky! Give Trump time, he'll h...
