That's me! A four-minute nap? Luxury.

@WR4NYGov @CorvidDevoid A personal insult is an instant block. Someone clearly just looking for trouble also.

@CorvidDevoid I block people who insult while offering no value, and I reciprocally block anyone who blocks me.

I have explained this before but I will say again: In the West, people think blocking is cowardly It means you are too afraid to hear opposing views or are afraid of the person that you have to block them. So people who do not block in Twitter debates are seen as the winners. And they parade that blocked status as a badge of honor. They even created a game out of it: "block me = I win". So its all about getting the other person to block first But this is not the case in the East Here, blocking is seen as boundary setting It means you respect yourself enough to remove the pests and maintain your peace And people who don't block are the coward ones who are too scared to stand their ground and tell them off There is no game here. It's either you shut them down first, or they shut you down.

@judy191083 How are you moving forward with your flight, Judy? April isn't it?

@Ajarncom There are loads! Only the ones with the gold verifications are genuine

Blimey! How many Emirates Airline customer service scam accounts are there on this platform?

Almost 400 baht for two McDonalds breakfasts. That's about nine quid? "pang maak" were my wife's words. Not something I do often. Not sure I can afford to.

⚽️ Wednesday night's result from T2 Kasetsart FC 1 Sisaket United 1 A point apiece for two teams at opposite ends of the table - and you could say the result neither side wanted. Kasetsart are still in trouble just above the relegation zone, and have now lost that precious game in hand. Sisaket now in serious danger of losing their automatic promotion place, bearing in mind they have to travel to third-place Pattani FC next Friday, 3rd April. What a game that promises to be. Rob and Phil will be discussing the Kasetsart - Sisaket game, plus all last weekend's T2 fixtures on tomorrow's Chiang Mai is Blue Thai football podcast. @rscnx @cmfcenglish

Great to be back home. It's strange how even having enough bathroom shelf-space can bring you joy. 😆

@alanldavis We thought about Bishkek but it's a 9-hour return trip and we didn't fancy doing an overnight anywhere.

@Ajarncom Tien Shan mountains - and the steppes- around Almaty well-worth visiting. A short road trip will also get you to Bishkek. Don’t even think about visiting Astana unless you are into dystopian sci-fi movies.

Good morning from Sattahip. Time to go back home after just a short 3-day break. Not sure I'd entertain a trip in March again. It's a young man's game. 🔥 🥵 Anyway, let's spend some time at home until our Kazakhstan fortnight in May. ✈️

@bangkokaussie @KhunPat27 Yeah, nice rage bait indeed.

@KhunPat27 Wait till you get to an age where you actually need the insurance, are paying 5 to 10times that, and that insurance coverage has basically excluded everything worth covering. But nice rage bait…

🇹🇭 Thailand: £572 a year for my private health insurance and I can see a doctor instantly in hospitals that are like 5-star hotels. 🇬🇧 UK: 71,000+ people waited over 12 hours in A&E for NHS care in January 2026!! You’re paying more in Tax and NI…and you’re still stuck in a queue, probably behind illegal immigrants and other migrants who have never paid a penny in taxes 🥳 People use “free healthcare” as a reason to stay though 😅

Finally, proper banh mi in Bangkok. It's been a long wait

@coach_samuelT The tweet was just a bit of fun.

@Ajarncom the power of media disinformation is incredible. Since 2021 most crime has fallen (exception is knife crime, which is still lower per capita than in the US) discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1018…

Apparently Tom Cruise has moved back to America from London because he feels London has become too dangerous. Tun just told me.

@PartyChambers Almaty.

@Ajarncom Where are you heading to in Kazakhstan, I lived in Astana for about 5 months last year (working). Stayed at the St Regis mostly, beautiful hotel and amazing staff there. Went to Almaty a few times also. You can see the investment they've had in Astana, it's a new capital city.

@JamesPGoddard90 570 Baht

@Ajarncom That looks delicious. What was the total cost

We saved the best for last. Our best meal in Sattahip by some distance. #Chinese

@ThosMajor 👍

@Ajarncom The problem was caused by AIS and has now been resolved.

Is anyone else getting 'this site can't be reached' messages every time they click on a link in a tweet?

Tun's taken up painting. 😆

@cosmorxn 😆

@Ajarncom During Covid I brought my laptop to a locked-down Phi Phi with the intention of doing an hour or two of important work while there. My laptop never left its case.

I take my hat off to those digital nomads who can tap away at the keyboard on a beach or work anywhere outside with a great view. I'm catching up with the Thai football and making notes for our Thursday podcast... and I find it so tough. After five minutes, I want to wander off to get an ice cream. For me, to do anything 'work-related' while you're in that kind of environment just goes against basic human instinct. I need to be focused - and sitting in an office or a bedroom in front of a desktop pc with no distractions. Does anyone else feel that way? Geez, those digital nomads must have some serious discipline.
