  1. My question is in regards to the tax to obtain the sticker you put on the window? End of last year I proceeded to renew the stickers for two vehicles. 1st, one is a 2018 Toyota Hilux Auto 4 door 2.4 CC New price was 870,000 baht years before I paid between 4-5,000 baht just for the sticker alone. This year it was something like 4500 Baht, as we know the plates are White with Black lettering. When I purchase 2021 Hyundai H-1 Van 2.4 C.C. 1.7 million Baht it was given a White with Blue Lettering, I just assume due to the price and even the blue plate sticker based on what I had to pay for the Hilux it would be much more for the H-1 Van? Pulled into the shop handed the book to the lady in the office back out told 2000 baht, I was kind of shocked just went with the flow came back the next day to pick up the sticker crossing my finger it wasn't a mistake. I was handed the sticker I checked it over plate etc was all correct. Then I asked the lady how come the Van, etc,,, is cheaper than the Hilux? They couldn't muster an answer for me to understand. Was a mistake made? Why the difference for the Hilux vs. the Van?
  2. Been doing extension it seems forever, I read end of last year Jomtien Immigration had long lines one report guy was there at 7 am and still there were 50 ahead of him yet once he got in it was fairly quick. I heard there was an online appointment system? My extension is due soon end of next week the earliest I just happen to be in the area today at 11am, and outside area was packed with people waiting to get in. Packed but not to the street but lots compared to what I'm used. Yearly, I don't use agents each year I just wake up go down by 7am, I'm usually first or top five to get in and first or second to the extension by the 8:45 am I'm out the door. But I sense this year for whatever reason it's going to be different? If there is an Online appointment system I will give it a try. Thanks in advance.
  3. We all know where the money is going. I read out of the 300 only 50 baht is set aside for medical. Guarantee, when the Money is needed Fingers will start to point. Another fail idea proposed by a fail goVernment For the people.
  4. Now that is the best advice you can give yourself!
  5. Add-on, Also when getting her way is so easy.???? every lie she tells is sucked up like a vacuum cleaner.
  6. This puppet sure knows his Master! Why not get some of that great vaccine from China to get ready for that outbreak.????
  7. All I know when a leader says the baht too weak it gets stronger. Then you got Baht is too strong then it gets weaker. Thai economist 101????
  8. Procedure was done in Doctor office he was given a local, as I noted he isn't good with pain men like us call guys like this pussy LOL nevertheless the thought of something going up you penis!
  9. I recently went through the process with my brother back home under his Medicare plan once it was getting close to Thailand opening up. The hospital here in Pattaya or the doctor screwed him over for two years then all of a sudden recommended Rezum because it had not become availablein May of this year it was 200,000 Baht. Prior to his trip we arrange all the necessary Doctors appointments. I know everyone's pain tolerance is different it isn't much for him. I had did the research already but said nothing to him so not to get him pshych out. To double check he had a biopsy to check for cancer when result was negative he had choice of medication or a procedure which it was embedded in his head already Rezum. Everyone talks about the procedure and at my age my flow at times? I have a very high pain tolerance think I will need something down the road I read about enlargement in spite of so many having it why there isn't better treatment or solution because when you think about it sticking a rod up you penis Not Painful, not once but a few times. LOL, When he had the biopsy they had to poke holes everywhere to get samples. After procedure he came running out to the bathroom said blood everywhere during Rezum he had a rag to bite down so he wouldn't scream in pain. I just hope someone finds a better and less painful way. ????
  10. You might be. right not defending him but did you comprehend what he wrote particularly the part the wife was " called over" which assumed he was not invited.
  11. Now all you got to do for a few days man those crosswalks with officiers there after and make a mint those few day.
  12. Yes it fails more like reading too much stuff over time so it seems it was the Chinese all the time. Based on your remarks it would make sense not to allow the Chinese here until they get it together. XI, to keep control said to himself you don't like my way then O just open up regardless and here comes round two!
  13. Stirring the pot! Didn't those Europeans travel to China and return? Didn't the very first case in Thailand reported in December 2021, returning from China as early cases in the New York, California early Feb 2020. Both known for high volume of Chinese and Business travel to China. Then you got all the recent lock down in China with their demonstration I wonder why with their first and great Sinovac. It had been reported believe it or not majority of Chinese haven't gotten the virus thus far short of herd immunity reason for their recent. Somehow I wouldn't trust anything from China, maybe the leaders said to themselves world want to criticize us OK let's give the people what they want no lock down, Get ready for round two?
  14. Here comes Covid, man the hospitals, open the vaccine center, they won't be coming for the shrimp and Dorian? Immigration will be overrun with extension buy more BMW there will be lots of overstays. ????????????
  15. At his age most like works here for shipping or car company? Too much saka from the looks!
  16. It is a bit flashy or sportyvad I call it, for the money you get spoiler all around with racing strips, Mag wheels, for around 600,000. ????
  17. One billion S.F. Tax payer money is spent now for the homeless just a few years ago it was 250 million and they brought in some homeless czar to address the problem? Instead it's growing daily, just two years ago these nuts running the City opened a million dollar facility for addicts to shoot up in a safe environment it recent shut it doors do to a lack of participants. I'm all for helping people and have done so by voting for programs but today there seems to be more programs than homeless? The only people who seem to benefit are those employed by these social programs. Don't mean to make S.F. sound like hell, given the opportunity although one of the most expensive Cities in the World I would move back in a heart beat. They say as one gets older you become more conservative certainly that is the case for me and I use to be told I'm very liberal. S.F. is like most cities better than most due to it size homelessness is usually center around where services are provided and it's weather has also much to do with it. City hall the financial district, Chinatown, North Beach much warmer weather. You won't find a lot of homeless in the Richmond or Sunset where the Ocean is located and 10-15 degree cooler than the norm which is 60, as soon as you cross Sunset Blvd. As far as I'm concern S.F. public transportation is great especially if you are a resident they give out senior cards for low income which I borrow from a family member every ride is free everywhere. The buses are majority electric they have special lanes for buses some routes like the 19 Polk are entertaining if you aren't in a hurry it runs from Fisherman Wharf to City Hall through Skid Roll so the homeless who sleep near the Wharf ride the route to City Hall to get their services daily. Every stop is near 5 minutes you need to wait for the homeless to bring on all their belonging plus then wait for the handicap lift to go down and back up, ask rider to move out of the wheelchair locations. This route seem the worse of the worse if you are a rider never turn your back. Happy New Year!
  18. These 7 are truly International? ????
  19. Your are mistaken if you know, they are moving upper market to Valencia St. ( gentrification ) Below Valencia leading down 16th to the Mission Bart system there are encampments and tents everywhere. Underneath the freeway overpass, massively under Division St. 16th all heading down Folsom, Bryant, to the sports stadiums. There is a large population in the North Beach even encampment that sleep underneath Telegraph Hill. Go to the end of Height where Golden Gate Park starts. As noted 1 billion and the problem is growing!
  20. I was born Chinese American raised in S. F. Know it well still even today. What had been happening been a slow liberal process even before VP Harris. Today it is lead by a Mayor Breed and a liberal board based on district election one of those the worse ever made. The Asian leaders are basically Token to make a name and move to State office. Today, I can safely say there isn't a voice for the Chinese or Asian community! The younger generation don't have a clue what others went through to make them Doctor, Lawyers, the Chinese or Chinatown are full of poor immigrants too old or afraid. Growing up another minority group couldn't enter Chinatown and leave unless you were allow. I still remember one Sat, Sunny and his Hell's Angel came across from Oakland to comfort a group who he felt was infringing on his business territory. As soon as he came off the Washington off ramp the word was out. As they made their way down Jackson Street with their Harley's and enter as if he owned the place. In a very short conversation he realized he was short handed and way out gun he left with a new found respect. It is sad because even before Covid they integrated the Chinese housing projects there were numerous cases where black groups came and abuse and rob the elderly without any powerful Asian political leader black Mayor like Breed couldn't care less. These areas Mission where the 14 that runs it goes through was originally Mexicans but through the years more interested with people from Latin American. Although genafication had taken place it is still more affordable than many other districts. Although small black population Mainly residing in Bay view Hunter Point lower property cost it is well known Black don't want none Blacks moving in forcing them out. Thirty forty Asians were buying property many couldn't deal with the abuse. The Thai older gentlemen was killed in a smaller black community called basically Ocean View a higher income area this was a hate crime there are a small minority of blacks even in liberal S. F. Who hate anything that isn't black but this Mayor doesn't want to see it. S. F. Has one of the biggest homeless population I would guess more than half need a shrink prior to Covid money allocation was 250 million the budget is now over a billion. Majority of that money is spent in the worse area of the City Skid Road called the Tenderloin in 6th street not too fat from Twitter HQ. Her journey S. F. Student 32? many come at different ages the City provides a lot of newcomer services for immigrants to help catch up in education, lead them to jobs her looks stereotype many live in the area next to the Mission called Delores Park down from the Castro Gay and LGBT community if anything this would be more than a Asian attack. What I do know as a Asian when home last July, I use public transportation I go where I need to go all the places mention these district are some of the best home type cooking and inexpensive. I never take my eyes off people or have my back turn I carry conseal what I need to fend off even at my age. ????
  21. ????shocked! just this morning on the Asean before this one.
  22. Waiting for the big one! Told it runs in my family like everyone I have my weakness. Whenever anyone looks at me and hear my cholesterol number 240, I'm not overweight, exercise, they started me on Lipitor I was 45, when all set and done at 55 I was up to 20 Mg, with regular blood test for side affects. No insurance after retirement I went full into exercise but love that Thai crispy pork and chicken skill. Don't smoke or drink after addicted to ice cream and potato chips. ???? at best I got it down to 210? So I started on a few generic and took regular blood settle on one called Betastatin as mentioned started at 5 blood test to get it to 160 I was up to 40mg everything was fine then two years I started to feel funny my arms felt sore aching as if I lifted weights for hours then at night cramps in funny places I remember my mother having these problems was taken off. It got so bad one night decided to get off it and see results within days I started to feel better today I'm pain free also no craps. July I was back home through my medicare got all the test reason Doctor said you look sick drop so much weigh but result were all good except cholesterol 245, though him my problem with pill he said common, given no alternatives except work harder and diet more. That I made the right decision to stop that continuing on the statin might have killed me.
