Delete me immediately with immediate effect. Am not joking. I am now logging out.

Thanks for accepting me into that VIP section months ago.

Mum and Aunty own two chalets in the South Hams overlooking Plymouth Sound

As kids in the 60's and 70's we'd spend all spring and summer over there literally 200 metres from the beaches but as we got older it was just the occasional weekends. Last spring/summer because of Covid I stayed there for 6 months in mums and I'd forgotten how brilliant it is.  Even if Thailand eventually opens I will only be going autumn/winter in the future

Contrast in photo on a hot day compared to a wet and windy one !!

Always remember when for the first time using Oman on London Bangkok was arriving outside the old terminal and thinking it was like a quaint Greek airport

Do you need a specific visa or is it somewhat more relaxed than Thailand on new accounts...??

I have just learned this as well, have had Prime a few months and just searched for this, coming up empty.

On a brighter note, just finished all 6 seasons of Bosch.......really good cop show

Ah I saw that Bosch scrolling through before. Will watch that thanks

I could not find it on Amazon Prime. Is it possible that AP has different content in different countries? Doesn't make sense.

 

Looks like it is unfortunately

For me the lol moment (and I wont spoil it) is when Leo is using the car to drive around London a very high value client looking for a particular "style" of Girl

What then gets in the car after an extensive search had me rolling around.......

Doesn't look like a family film and I am not into drugs or know anything about them. If it starred Dwayne Johnson or Jason Statham I might put it on my list lol

Certainly not a family film lol but I nearly skipped by it for the same reason of no known names starring in it...

Watched this film over Christmas the story of "Leo" a poor student who gets involved in the murky world of high class hookers and drugs in London

What a cracking little film one of the best I've seen for a long time and it didnt have the ending that I expected at all

I watched it on Amazon Prime but am sure its on multiple platforms

Highly recommended because of subject matter we all know about...

9/10

Edited in screenshot as quite a few films of same title

The problem is that the Baht will probably strengthen to just over 29/USD, so that the pound either stays roughly the same or even drops against the THB.

Yes agree and whilst Foreign Currency Reserves continue to accumulate  at record levels despite no tourism I can see it going even higher to 28.5

The thais are making very clear noises that they dont exactly need tourists anymore and will be very selective in the future

I'd imagine over the coming weeks Sterling will move into the $1.40's assuming the deal is ratified at both ends of which there is little doubt

^^^

Whatever happens with Brexit by tomorrow that 39.58 will be wildly different Monday morning either up or down (unless Boris kicks the can down the road again)

If its no deal hard to tell how low it could go but a deal achieved will have the same result in the opposite direction

Dollar sub 30 says it all

God forbid if Johnson goes no deal as $1.15 is the expected outcome possibly lower which puts Sterling/Baht at 34.5 interbank so probably around 34.30 at the Yellow TTs

Never mind Covid no Brits will continue at that level

Has to be this one from Joe Dolce which unbelievably stopped Ultravox from getting to number 1 with "Vienna"

Certainly I will have it at the earliest opportunity

Further words superfluous.....

Ohh my Buddha lol

Dont want to get political on this thread but referring to my post above just read whats happened to the Catastrophic Johnson overnight. You really couldnt make this shit up lol

Us Brits really need to hope to hell we get a Brexit deal because no deal will decimate Sterling against the USD

Nobody knows for sure where it would go but sub $1.20 is a given. Even if it just hit that level that would put Sterling/Baht at 36.19 interbank (If Dollar/Baht stayed at current level)

$1.15 would put us at 34.68.....I dont want to crunch the numbers any lower lol. Pray that Johnson (now not held back by Cummings) delivers that oven ready deal next week

^ ^

Top right is the real problem.

One month graph showing the Baht gaining and gaining

Why doesn't your Thai SIM work in the US?

You just need to find the US carrier that partners with your Thai SIM provider (unless your cell is locked to a particular US carrier).

 

Dont even need to do that. The Sim itself will automatically find its own roaming partner.

I still get post and bank statements galore from previous lodgers from the last 11 years.....last week had NHS Doctors letter for female from 2013 asking her to book Smear test !

Vasile a Romanian who left in 2016 had a new credit card sent through in September lol. I do open all stuff now bar obvious mailshots which get automatically binned

Its just gets stronger and stronger, This is Live Interbank so Tourist rates in Pattaya will be about 12 Satang lower. It defies all logic with closed borders I agree

The Sam Chui guy who does multiple videos on airlines (who love him because all his reviews are "good" and welcome him by name onboard) had income of $2.2 million in 2018

He's actually very good I have to say

Edited.... just checked he's got 2.37m subscribers

Typical Sam Video....

They do it to get followers/subscribers and once they get past 1000 (unless its changed) they start generating income from views

I was somewhat startled as to how much is paid (via advertising) with these accounts. That Philly in the Phillipines guy in Angeles City generates decent bunce from his 3-4 videos a week

Baht on its way to sub 30 it would appear......
