All Activity

I wondered if you could of gone to the front desk and asked rather than wander around needless looking otherwise your wasting time Lodge a complaint !!!! I had the same thing at a 5 star hotel I always make a point in trying to inform the management on the feedback cards

To round off, having started this post: when I arrived at El Dorado from Europe earlier this month and got to immigration I discovered there is a lane for ‘Preferencias’ and that being over 70 I was eligible to use it. In point of fact nobody checked this before I got to the passport check desk itself. It saved me about 30 minutes and cost nothing, so I was pleased I didn’t waste money on a commercial service. There is a similar lane when departing from El Dorado. Hope this is a helpful tip for other elderly forum members.

Based on the inactivity on this forum, I get the impression that South Korea doesn't have many options for gay foreigners. Are there any gay saunas, bars, and cruisy areas where foreigners can have fun? I was in Seoul in 2008 and found good saunas, but they seem to be no longer available.

Senators urge ceasefire in Pentagon’s fight with Anthropic It's kind of remarkable that two Republican and two Democratic Senators, including a former Senate leader and hawk like Mitch McConnell, are publicly begging Trump and Hegseth to stop being such fucking assholes. It's also both happy and funny that people in China and South Korea tend to like AI. They tend to view it as another technology that has lifted them from poverty and malnutrition and built a prosperous working class. At least so far. What did America get wrong? What a stain on America! What a worthless stupid piece of shit this POTUS is. All Trump cares about is his ego and his Trump War Of The Week. This week Iran? Next week Cuba? Maybe shoot some more harmless Americans in the head? Or at least spy on them illegally? Hell, at least we should let Trump make some more fake AI videos telling Canadians they are pieces of shit, okay? Trump is a threat to America and the world. The sad thing about this is the billionaire investors behind AI, like Marc Andreesen, will be perfectly happy to watch it take middle class white collar jobs away so they can make more money on their investment. It is happening right now. Today Block laid off half its work force thanks to AI. And it's stock price soared. Block lays off nearly half its staff because of AI. Its CEO said most companies will do the same But at least some of the more humanistic people in Silicon Valley, like at Anthropic, don't want war. They don't want to make it easy for Trump to do more illegal shit. Ha ha. Like Trump could give a shit. Humanistic fools! Who gives a shit about Trump's working class supporters? Ha ha. I just worry Trump will turn @Barknaway into Trump Steaks. That would be awful! So the handwriting is already on the wall. All the worst parts of AI that are emerging - higher electric bills, lost middle class jobs, better warmongering - will be rightfully laid at the feet of piece of shit Trump and his cocksucker JD Vance. The rage and sadness are growing and growing. Every time I feel rage I donate to a close call pro-union and pro-worker Democratic candidate running for Senate like Sherrod Brown in Ohio or Jon Ossoff in Georgia. Trump. Hegseth. Vance. What worthless un-American pieces of shit! What stains on America! Billionaire Trump and his Silicon Valley Peter Thiel Hillbilly Boy JD Vance are for the working class? What a fucking sad joke!

Being an airline staff based in the Middle Eastern, the ticket price isn't the issue. The real problem is my neck and back; it's basically on strike if I have to pull more than 6 hrs in economy, especially since ID travel usually means getting stuck in the 'bottom of the barrel' seats. Plus, with everyone traveling like crazy post-COVID, getting off-loaded while on standby is becoming a total nightmare on those high-load routes

You would think so, but I stayed there last year for a few days and visited the fitness center several times a day to shower but did not see anyone loitering or any extracurricular. Quite disappointing.

That's quite normal; myopia tends to improve with age but presbyopia worsens.

depends, I actually noticed it slightly improves but I'm shortsighted

that summarizes Bangkok very neatly quite possible you are right or simply it was not his day ( certainly it was YOURS , judging by your escapades ). This would explain his message later

count me in, lol

sure, vacation first !

Score one for Aunty. 😂 Eyes too although I'm a lot more physically fit now than I was in my thirties and my Thai is fluent.

one only hopes you are right

with age our sense of scent detriorates so nothing to worry about

most likely votes/voters will be tempered at midterms if they get their way...

hopes are , he may be tempered after midterms

I like this description. It's something that most people won't bother to notice. I used to walk around the area during my lunch hour when I was working at a firm in Abdulrahim Place on Rama IV before it moved to One Bangkok in Lumpini. The mixture and contradictions of the old and the new, the lily white countenance of the Chinese-Thai executive and the leathery, bronzed face of the Isaan labourer, the street stalls and the fine restaurants, the refreshing scent of jasmine and the icky smells wafting from some of the cooking pots...all quite enchanting as Aunty Vin would say. That's one thing I don't sense much anymore - the scent of jasmine which would indicate to me that I've arrived in Thailand.

Sounds like you're having a great time. But initial advice toyourself -- pace yourself-- should not be forgotten. You have seven weeks and you don't want to be jaded too soon. Are you planning some excursions out of Bangkok? I find it a good way to recharge my batteries after about a week in the city.

Which branch of TCS are you booking with? Anyway, sounds like you're having a great time.

Thank you for assuring me that I am not very old.... 🤣

You must have either read wrongly or remembered wrongly. It's 3,500 baht for 1.5 hours, all-in.

Nearly 3!
