I have noticed a certain trend on a lot FB forums - (99% of people are genuine /Nice /Real and helpful) But the tiny 1% should not put us off sharing /Asking for help .I have the advantage of filtering advice through my Thai wife .She told me a long time ago - Do not believe all that I read on Forums .... She is more knowledgeable than me about all things relating to Thailand ( A very good Example -Crossing the road in Bangkok can be Dangerous /In precise )..... I thought she was treating me like a child ( Until the Doctor was run down and killed by a Guy on a Ducati) I now assume most drivers in Bangkok are dangerous ... I am still able to cross safely .
Sadly there are rude idiots in most groups ? The majority of people want to share advice /Information . We must not let these Trolls /Idiots drag us down.😀
I have a basic Samsung A12 . I bought a sim in the local
****
store - They set it all up for me .This was not a difficult or expensive . Of course my Thai wife was there to explain what I needed . I would not have confidence in Vodaphone -I have read so many Negative reports about their tricks ...
You are correct , When I go to Thailand I use Superrich and they are very selective about the appearance /Condition . I have a joke with my Bank -I ask if they can iron my 50 pound notes .....😁
I bumped into an American when we visited Chang Mai .I liked the night market in Chang Mai . We stopped in a lovely Hotel by a Klong .We also visited the Dusit Royal Palace /Hill Tribes .
I rather agree with you ,I have a Thai wife .We visit her home in Nakhon Ratchasima and it feels like the real Thailand to me . I do visit big city,s but after a few days they feel very crowded /Too Busy.
