  1. Yes Charles S. I use the 800,000 method I never found the need to go inside and request large amount personally I dont care for Thai banks I dont trust their system theycare lucky to have the 800
  2. Im not expert in these matters tell you what has work for me. Years ago I had my S.S. payment stopped be wire to BB bank in New York. Instead had the deposit with my other pension sent to my brokerage account which is attached to a checking account that provides a Debit card if used refunds back end of month. From that account usually I use FireFox with a VPN on to access the CS account to view. When I log in to Wise to transfer I turn off the VPN. Along eith CS. i have other bank listed including my credit union account I also have two BB accounts. In transferring I use the CS debit card ACH method, for reason I scroll down down select " living ecpense " Comes over each time as FTT although I dont use monthly. If one do a transfer under an Thousand like 900 USD, in you Thailand bsnk within secondsc Never had a problem can also excess using CS debit card ATM.
  3. Funny, he has all those so call assets but he's wearing a 99 baht slip on from a street vendor. This is made up <deleted>! 🤣
  4. Does that mean a crackdown on the BIB, the City officials and Mayor. 🤔
  5. This is Thailand, it was said thus it has to be true. 🤣
  6. " Discussion " 🤣 Who they kidding. This is Thailand!
  7. This is just another item placed into the budget so they have another avenue to skim and skim off the top like a regular paycheck for the leaders. First, even if that was the case you have to have a plan, the plan needs to have a standard as to how to build the sidewalks, width, etc, and proper use for Utility Easement. You can't just lay bricks on top of the sand, leave poles in the middle, wires hanging everywhere, and plant trees that will grow far too large damaging the sidewalk. Even if they were to make it happen no one checks off the work or comes back to check.
  8. Six or seven that is nothing! You can buy here like mentioned Facino but bottles based on number of Tablets inside to price is expensive. I usually buy at Costco or Walmart once a year for myself and family been stopped just explained did the math per day foe a year number of family members wave go away being stopped is very slim. Can order I-Herb bit higher but you dont need to lug the weight.
  9. The greed continues masked under the phrase " Tourism " to line their own pockets at the expense of the Thai people and their society.
  10. Bit younger you are in your 70's then where are you living in the west abroad or in Thailand. Working again where and doing what if abroad does she want to stay if can or return to Thailand. So Im going to assume! Western ideas and suggestion if living in Thailand her level of education sorry but dont say Unniversity if she is wouldnt be with you 🤣. All the ideas being thrown out are great but does she have an understanding to these suggestion and what they are my experience living with Thai the % is very slim. If she is 50-60 she is already done in Thailand, I would if not already make sure she has a roof over her head. Maybe a mix use property where the two of you can live later herself. For example like Pattaya small piece of land house set in from main road in front shop house that rent for 10-15,000 baht a month. I like the suggestion of land but at her age? Farming it hard work. Also as noted there something called a life estate you can deed it so as long as you are alive can live on the property. There are options but without answer tough only guessing
  11. Another Nepotism hire shecwill follow the footstep of those before her.😇
  12. Stop the nonsense old man the only economic advantage is lining your pocket. Close at 2am, end of story. Resourced cant even solve one problem why create more by opening late.🤕
  13. In general, when you got nothing to look forward you need believe in something thus religion. 🤣 The weak follow.
  14. Ive not been up regularly on that Soi but if you are on lower part coming down look around cost rent dont think they be main road might be just off that id where I find majority of them.There is one off Siam CC. Past the market intersection motorbike bike deal make a left them quick right. Motobike good but for cars I let them wash 220-300 baht in and out while I get a massage drawback is Ive not seen a vacuum?
  15. Official business as usual different day same old <deleted>.🤑
  16. Two years ago Hwy 7, Pattaya, as I got on at the Nongprue toll plaza big bike Thai flew by 120 plus right lane I was traveling 60 on shoulder I could see ahead traffic came to a stand still he nevrr brake thought he was Evil Kenevil, bike hit guard rail he fly off hit head on to center lamp post snap! He had no chance he wss on a Ducati.
  17. Funny it is done everyday 365 24/7 but a foreigner no no this is our country cant show us up so social media. He is only doing what he see " monkey see monkey do " this is thsiland do as thais lo! 😂
  18. The smoke they blow daily I can see why he legalize weed. outside of this photo op he like all leaders have no power, there is no enforcement once the cameras leave it is business as usual.
  19. Consistent with the discriminating nature of the leadership of Thailand. 🫢
  20. Sorry your comment and situation requires legal advice in which Im not qualified to give.
  21. " Small Claims Court " 🤣 There is a Insurance Commision in theory but caution like everything " The light is on but no one is home"
  22. Exactly everything Hub, medical hub, they Hub so much getting if not already " Hub of Stupidity " Twenty years they allocated million to built a new outdoor stadium up at the Indoor Stadium Year after year they stole the money for Beach road cash cow last Mayor claim it would be finished by year end 2022, maybe they should look into the corruption there too add it to the unfinished Condo at Bali Hi.
  23. Start to read more of these stories since it was legalized being so like most there is no plan or controls. Today shops are everyehere I remember when first available a young friend purchased a brownie at a booth just off Soi Diana a while later got really sick. Not saying these reads are linked but does get me thinking. Enjoy but be careful.
