What exactly is a Thai pink ID card?
I use mine to buy a purple Elder Card for BTS. Yes, they've hassled me exactly twice since BTS was built.

Israeli Tourist Busted for Selling Magic Mushrooms on Koh Samui
The deal is these young Israelis, both genders just escaped conscript service in the IDF killing Palestinians. They've always come here afterwards to blow off steam.

Vanguard for long-term investment
Another thread here discusses gold & silver. I just want a parking spot for retirement that earns more interest than the bank. Money is in the US. Seems like Vanguard has a lot of options. Any direction over which part of Vanguard is most lucrative & safe? What about tax concerns, there & here? I'm a Yank with a SSN, joint account with Thai, no US ties. It's her money!

Rayong Students Left in Tears After Teachers Give Forced Haircuts
An effective protest would be to send your daughter to school with the same haircut required of your son. With daughter's permission, of course; I bet this can be a fund activist effort for your family!

Is there a Canadian lawyer in Bangkok???
The Canadian Embassy proved themselves as useless as usual. I went in at the appointed time and had to wait an hour because they couldn't find the consul. When they did, she said it was not the Embassy's business to notarise Canadian powers-of-attorney! Last week, I went to the US Embassy to renew my passport. I had a similar Power of Attorney to be notarised. $75 and five minutes! At the appointed time... This is why I need a Canadian lawyer, practicing or not, in Bangkok, as expat or tourist. Anybody know one? Christopher G. Moore??

Dog attacked the neighbours today. Made me smile.
Neighbour's cat s**its in our garden. They already lock their three-legged dog in a cage & never let him beyond the gate. We don't complain because we're afraid they'll cage the cat, too. I walk along a klong pathway. Woman has six cats in cages, sad.

Clarification on Retirement Visa
The 800,000 needs to be in your name only. But you can add your wife to the fixed bank deposit without her name showing in the passbook or the letter.

Still a little nerve-wracking, eh. There seems to be nowhere else solid to invest save USD.
