From next week, apparently, it will be even more difficult for foreigners to open Thai bank accounts to make the deposit required for some long term visas. Go figure. TiT.

Nice. Soon... it's on my list. Will take the car ferry from Krabi.

Who would have guessed? It will be there same in Krabi. I'm in the process of putting in an extra water tank.

Well done. I remember when you started.

Spring? From what I remember of the UK, the worst of winter might be just around the corner.

I'm impressed. My only issue so far is, the back button doesn't exit the app.

What's the verdict?

There seems to be a race for an IG killer on Bluesky. They're all really in Beta. @flashes.blue also looks promising. So far only iOS and beta. The dev is very active on here.

Nice. I like Songkhla.

Had lunch with someone from Phuket last week. Agreed to meet in a resto on the Phang side of the Sarisin Bridge. From Krabi, 150km away, we got there 30 minutes quicker than the car from Phuket.

In Thailand, FB is essential. My wife is now more active on LINE, but I have no idea how that works... other than sending messages.

My wife had these in her shop. Kids also.

Nice pics. Out of curiosity, at what height did you take these?

Same situation. I have a few decent watches sitting in a draw. Haven't worn them for years... will probably never wear them again.

We've got hundreds of guppies. I chuck a handful into anything with water to control mosquitos. They breed like wildfire. Now we have some great colours. We also have a guppy pond.

What are mongrel guppies/endlers?

Well done. I don't have WhatsApp, threads, Instagram or a FB page. I hate Messenger with a passion, it makes me want to throw my phone against a wall. Unfortunately, in Thailand, it's a must-have.

No, the café is up in some trees, which it turns out, is in the grounds of this mansion.

The tower is a must

I lived in a small Manila barangay for a while. It was in a rough part of town, with a huge cock fighting arena nearby. Manila gets a lot of bad press, but I really enjoyed the place... and the people. Lots of fun memories from my time in the Philippines.
