  1. For me, only thing is that my grown kids don't like my Thai wife. They think it's somehow supporting their Mum. Not true, former & I are in touch every week at least.
  2. Why would anybody go to a private hospital if they didn't have premium insurance?!? Govt hospitals: as anywhere, always ask the price first and bargain!
  3. Whoa! They saw you coming. That can't be a govt hospital. Here in Bangkok Thais & foreigners are charge a base of B200 with B50 added on top for us.
  4. Easy to look up. FINCEN Financial Crimes Enforcement Net in US and AMLO is the Anti-Money Laundering Authority of Thailand. Am I at risk of confiscation for a large transfer (before 2024). TIA! Oh, that means thanks in advance! But what's BBB?
  5. Pretty far for pursuit of a bargirl. Shop local. Oh, sorry! There used to be a vintage audio shop at top of Pantip Plaza. Still there?
  6. I thought it was only Trump in girls' locker rooms when he wasn't grabbing them by the hoohoo.
  7. Anybody in BKK been to Nevermind, German place on Sukhumvit 48? Do they have proper sitdown food, bakery with good bread (rye w/seeds!)? TIA!
  8. That is some beautiful loaf! Kudos!
  9. Which do you think is safer for signed & witnessed documents?
  10. My worry is always that I'll be rejected after my 90 day is due. Plan Y is my Thailand Post, sent 15 days in advance. Instructions online. Has once taken 74 days for mail approval--yes, I was sweating it.
  11. In my advance directive, I've instructed the wife to bury me in the backyard. Might as well be good for something. And she did say all the bull-pucky would be great for the flowers!
  12. I believe this is on point. I have my savings in a US bank. I'm worried moving it here would trigger FINCEN or AMLO, etc. & it could be confiscated. Maybe even the bank would notify the US taxman in the event of such a large transfer. Anyone have an idea of a working strategy? TIA!
  13. Those tweens can run a lot faster than an octogenarian. Cool hair, though!
  14. THB 50 extra. I just can't afford to get sick!
  15. No bitterness but they crap out after 16, most not worth looking at. Walk the Sukhumvit strip. Check out the farang and then compare to Thai women walking by. I rest my case.
  16. I suggest Pratunam to Asoke on a Friday night! We've got lots of sportin' life here. That's where I'll be on a Friday night!
  17. Thailand, in case you haven't noticed or only been here 15 minutes, is a matriarchal culture. Women rule the roost. As for me, I don't even have a bank account and haven't seen a bill in 33 years. Good wife, good life...
  18. RIP, for instance. Sad situation. So sorry, etc.
  19. Why were ordinary Egyptians throwing rocks and bottles at the Gaza convoy?!? Paid agitators? Don't like the colour of our money?
  20. You mean, like a mugshot! Have to account numbers to chest level?
  21. Jesus, Jack! Have you looked around you? Who runs this town? Burmese. Who keeps you in strawberries? Mexicans. Who picks tobacco in Canada? Guatemalans. Too bad nobody ever gave you a break in life trying to make ends meet & feed your family. Were you ever 18 in a bar? Whose ID did you use? Gotta get rid of you, you crinimal!
