Also, that map doesn't show the JR network, which is equally complex: A tip if you can't work out the fare: just buy any value of ticket and make your journey. At the exit, find the fare adjustment machine and put your ticket in. If you've overpaid it will refund the appropriate amount; if youo've underpaid it will tell you how much more to pay.

I think no, not again. Patanawet was responding to a post from several weeks ago.

Don't sit, recline! Or stroll down to the bar:

I've never transited through BKK, but I can't recall the last time (except when travelling via the USA, which doesn't seem to understand the concept of transit) I had to check in twice. On all my recent journeys with connecting flights (variously through DXB, AMS and CDG), the online checkin process was for both flights and I had PDF boarding cards for both before leaving home - so technically no checkin at either airport, just baggage drop at the first (and security at both). Before online checkin existed, on occasions I've certainly been issued two boarding cards on checking in at the first airport. Having to collect the second one from the transit desk is a distant memory.

I just looked at the desktop version of Google Calendar, and this is what I see (YMMV): When creating an event, choose the (start) date, then click on the "add time" button, then tick the "Time zone" box. You then get a tick box for "use separate start and end time zones". Tick that, and there are two drop-down boxes where you can choose the start and end zones. At that point you have to be careful, because the default zone appears to be the one it thinks you are in right now.

... and probably no help, since I'd expect a typical LLM (I refuse to call it AI) to recognise "seventeen twenty" as a time and "correct" you anyway. Worse, it might see it as a date 😵

Everywhere is located near the metro. Have you never seen a Tokyo subway map? 🤣 PS If you need to get cash from an ATM, the 7Bank ones inside 7-11 stores don't charge for using foreign cards.

Conversation between a friend of mine and their departing guest while in a car well on the way to the airport: "which terminal, North or South?" "No, Four". It's a good thing LHR and LGW label their terminals differently, or the mistake might not have been noticed until much too late.

False. "The Coriolis effect is so small that it plays no role in determining the direction in which water rotates as it exits from a draining sink or toilet. The Coriolis effect produces a measurable influence over huge distances and long periods of time, neither of which applies to the typical terrestrial bathroom. " https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/coriolis-effect/ Also, they got the direction wrong.

Whataboutism noted.

quoting someone else's tired old trope of flawed logic. The reality is like the "fire triangle" we are taught in fire safety courses: to start a fire you need fuel, oxidizer and heat. Remove any one and the result is no fire. With firearms there's also a triangle: the weapon, the person firing it, and the person getting shot. Same logic applies, but ease of removal is different.

veni, vidi, vici? or perhaps vidi, veni, vicerunt would be nearer the mark?

Belated "me too". On the admiral's peak I deduced that some people don't just go there to admire the view, as there were heaps of condom wrappers .strewed around the path like exotic flowers 😲

Undergarments are usually non-refundable once worn. I don't know what that does to your metaphor 🩲🙂

You don't just marry him, you marry his entire family. What are the advantages and disadvantages of that?

+1 for expanding my vocabulary

Abusive private messages (if that's what they are) probably breach the forum Code of Conduct, and are therefore a matter for the admins to deal with..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_by_country A legal minefield, so do your own research and don't believe anything some random stranger here tells you.

To deal with that, you need a friend in the Royal Thai Army. One sight of an Army hat covered with gold braid and the BiB will never trouble you again 🙂

and even in the "straight" ones you can often guess which performer the cameraman was really interested in 🤩.

I've always thought of it more as a "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" kind of place. And still those voices are calling from far away Wake me up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say Welcome to the bars of Boyztown Pattaya Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room in the bars of Boyztown Pattaya Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here ... Last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before "Relax," said the night man "We are programmed to receive You can check-out any time you like But you can never leave!"

I wonder how many people could name the musical it's from, or who wrote it? (If it comes to that, I wonder how many people even know it's from a musical )

Or you could just learn four words: "left" (ซ้าย "sai") "right" (ขวา "khwa") "straight ahead" (ตรงไป "trong pai")

I hope you mean B1,500 🙂

What is this "gun" of which you speak? Hint: not everybody in this forum is from the USA. (If someone started screaming at my door I wouldn't open it at all.)
