Could be the strange Thai logic of increasing prices when times are bad to compensate for lower turnover.

Zero percent! I worked all my working life in the business.

I was referring to deodorant commercials.

I'm always confused by TV commercials which advertise 'good for 72hours'. Does that mean no showers for 3 days?

Which month would that be?

When working, I often had meetings with Indian HiSo clients. They knew about their reputation for odour and always over compensated with cheap colognes. I don't know which was worse. And don't mention Indonesian cigarettes! (Cloves?). I ought to add that at times I've overdosed on cheese. Thais say they could smell it oozing out with perspiration.

At one time here, all waiting staff in restaurants, bars and clubs had to wear name or number badges (straight or gay).

All waiters are available in go-go bars and the like. Not available to 'off' in places like Balcony, Circus or Connections but many would be agreeable to a meet up after closing (and NO off fees).

And so am I You'll be saying you like Weetbix next (note spelling)

How long before Trump takes credit for it?

Follow on YouTube 'TNT Live ' (it is Tim Newton's daily (or more frequent) sum up of all the papers and news outlets in the area. Peter mentions BBC News and CNN. They usually broadcast news before The Bangkok Post gets around to it (more a 'history' paper than a 'news' paper).

Is this why the Trump forced Coke to change to Palm Sugar?

All over the international news.

Both bars notorious!

Shave both!

Has anyone bought any of the very cheap items from Temu? They have extraordinarily cheap electronic items OBVIOUSLY copies but do they work? Thanks, but I don't need warnings from people who have never bought from them. I'll start it off by saying I once bought a VERY cheap watch (148 baht) but had to buy more for minimum order so I bought razor blades to bring the order to 180 ish Baht. The watch is excellent but the blades were rubbish. I am interested in a cheap reserve phone to keep for emergencies.

killjoy.

Usually early morning then happy hour time. Only about 45 minutes at a time. Can vary (before another disagrees with me).

Methinks he protests too much.

The REAL one😛

I'm forever telling Parisians how to correctly pronounce the name of their city. They will just not learn.🤣

Oh and the 'elders card'. Again googling "MRT' Elders card. Yes, it's true that foreign seniors (and other foreign travelers) are no longer eligible for discounted MRT fares in Bangkok. The MRT has discontinued the elder card and other discount cards for non-Thai citizens. This means that seniors, students, and children are no longer entitled to discounts. The MRT now requires all passengers to pay the full fare, regardless of age or nationality.

Can't recall where i found it. Probably by googling "Rabbit Card Restrictions' or similar. You used you 'elder card' on the subway BUT did it only charge you 50% this time or full fare? Last year sometime I tried to top up my BTS card and the cashier said "50 baht extra for new card". She explained that cards only last 7 years (I think). Didn't have to show my passport.

I knew that the subway had withdrawn 'ELDER' cards (half price fares) but hadn't realised that Sky Train Rabbit Cards had age restrictions.
