Mission scrubbed for today:

NASA postponed the first crewed mission by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, citing bad weather at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The launch window will move to May 30, the U.S. space agency said Wednesday. Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are set to ride SpaceX’s Dragon capsule to the International Space Station in the first launch of American astronauts from U.S. soil since 2011. NASA will try again this weekend on the final major test of SpaceX’s human flight system before it can be certified to fly working missions to and from the orbiting lab. If the launch attempt May 30 gets scrubbed, the next day will serve as a backup.

If you are talking about the Pattaya Water office located in Naklua, no way to change from company name to private name, Thai or or foreigner makes no difference

My first experience with Thai obstinacy was when I went to change over from "construction" temporary water to permanent, with a meter (construction water is not metered) The lady not only would not put the water in a private name but also insisted that the company paperwork must be updated before the account would be opened and they would graciously charge me the commercial rate

Sorry,  but they feel that if you have a house in a company name then you are commercial and are going to pay the commercial rate, which of course is much higher.

Only way around it is to cut off the water, buy yourself a tank and then have water delivered for private use

If the OP is on the second leg of a round trip so long as he does not cancel a flight the ticket remains valid as long as needed to complete the trip

I don't understand some posters insistence that SCOTUS is going to side with the DOJ

Courts has historically taken the stand that the judge is the interpreter of law, and juries are interpreters of fact

It's his courtroom and appeal courts are very reluctant to do anything that threatens judicial independence

and that is what this whole brouhaha is all about, not Flynn's guilt

One factor that should not weigh in here is the cost of filling in the pond later on if a prospective buyer does not want it.  A dump truck load of <deleted> Thai soil will fill it in, and some sod from a vendor on top and i'ts gone

Lot easier than building your own if you are a prospective purchaser

My opinion is that having a pond in a residential setting will not lower your property value, since property value here in Thailand is only based upon what someone else is willing to pay for it

Here is mine: 

Let's not forget that even with these and other warnings on hydroxychlorlquine  President Trump's VA, has been doing live testing with our captive veteran population in VA Hospitals:

Or maybe this headline is more impressive, juxtaposed with the WHO announcement :

One piece of advice I received from a long time expat here in Thailand is that the magic number is 200,000 THB 

Any amount less than that is not worth the time and expense of a lawsuit in Thailand

You can buy a Chromecast dongle that plugs into a HDMI port on a modern television that will allow you to cast movies and sound from a device such as a phone or pad to your television

These can be purchased from AIS:

I have seen this type of "waterfall" as a free standing unit, without a pool, as a decoration for a small patio, so this type of construction is fairly common in Thailand

I would follow the above suggestion and consulate with a pool builder for the correct epoxy or resin to use 

When this was first reported over a month ago, they had already identified that Zebras were the carriers of the AHS, but in that story the Zebras at fault were transhipped through Thailand on their way to China

Wonder what the real story is ?

Atorvastatin is so cheap in the US, that my insurance company doesn't even charge the normal $10 co-pay for a 90 days worth supply

Cannot find any information on why since I do not have Part D (drug coverage) but someone must be providing some type of assistance for this particular drug since they certainly don't wave co-pay for any other drug    

Visit one of these estates a night, that is the only way to know what you are getting yourself into

In Theory, (so long as the land office agreed) the executor of the will/estate could probably sell the condo (to a foreigner) to the advantage of the Thai beneficiary.

It's not a theory but was the way a Thai lawyer had me make my Will since the Probate Court in Thailand will enforce it

A wild guess, but I'd say if Sullivan doesn't back off and sentences Flynn it's going to be back in the appeal court pronto. Given the SCOTUS ruling I fail to see why Sullivan procrastinates.

Because he is in charge of his courtroom and judges take that power seriously

The Thai inheriting the condo would be better off selling the condo to a foreigner than keeping it for themselves. 

A condo in the foreigner quota is much more valuable than one in the Thai quota

Your problem is that you guys don't have a viable candidate.  And you know it.  LOL

Trump's administration has been such an unmitigated disaster, we don't need a viable candidate,  just a warm body should be enough

Interesting to note, as well, that Sullivan made his decision directly after Obama's "leaked" remarks to supporters blasting the DOJ's decision to drop Flynn's case.  What was Obama's meaning regarding a "sense of urgency?"  I'll leave it up to readers to decide for themselves.

Give it a rest Obama left office:

It is 1216 days from the start date to the end date

Or 3 years, 4 months excluding the end date.

Or 40 months excluding the end date.

Thanks both to lopburi3 and Peter Denis, crystal clear now, and I would prefer to spend my money on a border trip to a nearby country instead of supporting this Immigration / Insurance cabal

If you are in the 51-60 years of age category

Sorry Peter, wrong highlighted chart, I am in the 71-75 (72) bracket at 11,400 THB per year from LMG

Just purchased Atorvastin 40 mg, at Fascino, in Pattaya for 951 THB for 30 tablets

I go by the boss,  she loves her washer but refuses the offer of a dryer

I figure she knows more than I do 

Here is the chart for LMG, highlight is my own:
