Re: Songkran to become 1 month festival

That can't be fun on Silom in Bangkok?! It looks like a scene from the movie "Cell". :shock:

Re: The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin

Yes, the international traveling Thai may need to show a 2nd photo ID, therefore the Thai ID card in English and Thai. The pink card foreigner can only use that here. Most Thais can't read English and can't understand his name if spoken. Only written Thai is needed on the card. There's probably logi...

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

My point was, and stated as such, is that Hamilton is/was the past for MERCEDES, nothing else. They offered him a contract, he accepted, then exercised a clause to get out of it. No clue why Mercedes would have put such a clause in. Let's see where we are at the end of the season. :cheers:

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

We're a few races in now and I'll restate what I said before. Hamilton is the past. Mercedes won't throw him under the bus, but I don't expect at all that they will bend over backwards for him as they did before. Russell and ??? are the future. Pure and simple business decision. I think Russell's ca...

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

Interesting what he says about..."jumping ship to Ferrari..." I've just done that as well. The Arabs getting their claws into McLaren was the straw for me. At least Ferrari remains independent and are more exciting than the rest at the moment.

Re: Songkran 2024 Road Accidents

There's also the counting method; killed on the spot or dies later in hospital. I don't think we ever hear or see anything published about the latter.

Also, motorcycles seem to be the star of the show once again and always.

Re: Football (not Premier League)

Quite a match BB! I didn't see it but was following it on the BBC LIVE site. Plymouth should now be energized hopefully to go the distance for the remaining games. Leicester are now saying "the wheels are coming off". :cheers:

Note: I would think Immigration may not be open on Friday, May 10. Should be confirmed.

May 22 will be a no alcohol sold day.

Re: Which Mobile Phone?

...... the older you are, the more likely you are to keep hold of it for longer. That's the truth. I think I'm on year 5 or 6 with mine now. Older folks aren't working so no need to make a lot of business calls and communications, and they aren't burning it up watching YouTube, TicTok, Facebook. Th...
