I have not researched it. How long did it take the Feds to get Capone? New Turk, President here. Steady as she goes the Captain says.

Funny. After halving watched the hearings, I think they well documented, “coming up with something”.

I read the driver was making a right hand turn into a side street. While I agree U turns, if not a protected tun (allowed by light), are a problem but I did not read any reference to a U turn?

I must have missed the statement about an illegal turn being in the mix …

I think this is the one I pass regularly on Chang Klan. Sign offers monthly rates. I do not know anything more - Bua Rawong Hotel.

It is good that the regulation on financial standing reads "or" for those of us looking to change for an "O-A Visa" to an "O Visa". While most will need the 800K baht for an "O" for reason of retirement. My years of "O-A" extensions showing the monthly transfers from abroad should be accepted (includes this past years monthly deposits). My US Social Security is deposited automatically into my US bank, then I transfer $2200.00 USD via Wise at the end of the first week of the month. Arrives in my Bankok Bank account as FTT deposit. If you use Wise, make sure the reason stated on the Wise transfer says it is for supporting long stay in Thailand.

I seem to recall getting a ticket decades ago for the same reason … oh, Kentucky.

Just a word of thanks. I am not involved but am thankful that you gave supportive advice.

Czech friends refer to Czech beer as "liquid bread".

That was my first sad thought. He owes an apology to all of Thailand for denigrating the Kingdom of Thailand. If he wants a court case, a Thai prosecutor should charge him with "Lèse-majesté" as his actions have caused embarrassment to the Thai nation.

I have used UPS, FedEx and DHL. UPS was the deliverer of a credit card from the US sent by the issuing company.

Sorry but it does cause thinking people to ponder … you have money? Post bail. Don’t have money? You remain in jail. “And equal Justice for all”. Right USA such a shining example for the rest of the world. “Shining City on a Hill”? “ A beacon for all the world”? Hogwash …

Wife and Stepdaughter use our Phillips Air Fryer all the time and are very happy with it these past two years.

March we are scheduled to fly BKK-ICN, ICN-ATL. I figure 24 hours total time including the 2 hour plane switch at ICN. At 75, I am thinking it may well be my last trip to the homeland.

Retired in Chiang Mai for over a decade. I bring in the required 65,000 baht a month from the U.S. (actually $2200.00 USD). Family of 3, have no problem spending the 65,000 baht each month but still comfortable. And I still save a bit monthly to a separate savings account.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky made the decision for me. You must pick up a renewed Driver’s License in person. So, I have a Thai license and have used it driving in rental cars in the US and Europe.

Yikes! We spent April on Koh Samui but with these ships arriving! We will pass! Hmm, I wonder if we were counted as “tourists”? Farang retired over decade in Thailand, permanent resident (as long as allowed) whether Thailand recognizes or not?

True, the issue is, as you say, risk management. The same reason the Thailand required I stab lis h my ability to support myself in retirement in Thailand before the Kingdom would grant a Visa.

Same with my USA issued credit cards.

I looked at getting a Thai credit card upon retiring to Thailand. No credit extended … OK, unless it is a “secured” card. Easier for me to just retain my U.S. issued Visa and American Express credit cards. Both reflect US mailing and Thai addresses and contact info. Pay them direct from my U.S. bank account. Tens of thousands of USD credit based on my credit history. Thai outlook … cannot trust … OK, no problem, you do not get my business.

Suicide by cop.

“Nor should it …”. That does not state that the Thai people will not answer to humanitarian needs. As to her not having the money? I cannot determine that conclusion without additional knowledge of the facts that are yet to be made public. Maybe, maybe not …

I am thinking, nor should it. But then, I like the rest do not know the facts of this case.

I await Putin declaring he is moving troops into Phuket to protect the Russian speakers there. OK, just being a smart ares.

So, Aussies already retired cannot get their pension paid if outside Australia?
