The traffic cops here do not patrol or police the roads to make them safer as they do in most countries; they lurk under trees at roadblocks, nabbing passers-by for easy money. This is why they'll ignore obvious traffic violations as it isn't their job to give a shit about dangerous driving; they'r...

The Beer Lao IPA is much better IMO ... but double the price. Thanks. I'll try the carabao if I see it, but won't go out of my way. 60ish baht for 330ml beer lao isn't too bad. I just tried the Tawandaeng (TD) IPA side by side with the Lao IPA. The Lao is 5% and the TD is 5.5% I prefer the flavour ...

It applies to North American species.

42C in Ratchaburi yesterday. It was quite windy, but the wind just forced the heat onto us. It's hotter (imho, based on the thermometer at the front of the house, in the shade). But the kite flying season (wind) seems longer this year and, together with the heat, dries your sweat faster making you ...

^^ Agreed.

OK then. [emoji106]

I have a theory about the original rubbishy email address and how it could be real. But I'm probably wrong so I won't share. Enjoy your stay in Ratchaburi.

This one looks real. I've had notifications from Agoda like this. It's their approved way for hotel and customer communication. This is from Tara Spa Ratchaburi.

Yes, I thought that, but asking me to transfer cash to an individual's account? Quite right, it looks like their domain has been compromised and someone's set up a fake mail server address in the DNS records. The mail user name is an obvious flag and you should not have replied (as buksida says). Y...

Interesting. The high level domain booking.com is definitely valid and could be used by Agoda (being same group as booking.com).

Enjoying 3 Body though I feel its a little rushed, whereas the novels were more of an epic saga spanning centuries. Are you talking about Netflix's 3 Body Problem or the Chinese TV adaptation Three-Body ? I suppose that particular criticism is true of the latter also, even though it's far superior ...

Or under it?

^^ This sort of thing is national news every day even when only Thais are involved. Unlike in UK, politics and scandal are glossed over because, well, defamation. This just leaves road accidents, petty crime (unless a really serious crime takes over the headlines), naughty monks and what is someone ...

@GeorgieGirl An agent can probably help with getting documentation translated and certified (passports mainly). You'll also need transliterations of your parents' names. You will also need a copy (maybe the original?) of the residence blue book, and your landlord's (if you're renting) id card. As fo...

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. According to thairsc.com 62 people died on the roads yesterday. 2,264 were ...
