I just pay DTAC off my BKK bank app....All that's required is my phone number & it goes in as a direct credit/payment.... It's instant, not even enough time to log out of the bank app before the payment is made & acknowledgment received.... I have no idea why you are even messing around in the DTAC app/website.....

I selected the 5-10 button but it didn't register..... Basically, with about 200 on the shelf I'm rereading some...I really should catalog them in a better effort to keep from duplicate copies....It's a cringe worthy moment when you discover you've already read the book you've just purchased.... My wife also has around 200 on her shelves.... Admittedly, we're not reading as much as in years past.... If one daughter has money in her pocket she'll head straight for the book vendor....

Is she a Thai citizen? Dual passport holder? What age group is she? Thx

Maybe try posting in the FB Chiang Mai expat groups also?

Always call in a specialist ?

I think she thinks she's already there....

Start raising & farming your own....Buy a chest freezer & stock up from local suppliers.... The alternatives are a lot harsher in reality than just shopping as assiduously as possible....

That's a good question, due mostly to circumstances....With a wife & raised 2 daughters here they would basically have to drop out of sight....Since we are all very compatible & comfortable with each other I can see us somehow together in some fashion.... Having lived alone in the past, I know I could - but I'm not sure if I'd remain here or not.... At 73 the bachelor's lifestyle has lost it's hedonistic luster & the itch doesn't need to be scratched as often as in the younger days.... If something were suddenly to happen that left me alone, I think I'd make a bigger change up for about a year & see how the domino's fall..... I'd really heavily lean towards heading back to the US and break out & service the RV and just travel solo = which to my mind is about as independent and solo as one could be with an ever changing landscape.... It's an easy trail to make & mingle and establish associations & friends.... It's an interesting question for me....

He's definitely losing/lost his 19th hole privileges....

I almost died from legionnaires/ pneumonia....It was traced to air conditioning bacteria while attending a management seminar.... There is some validity to the claim....

Elvis has left the building.... Hang in there GG

I'm 195/6'4" and haven't run into any significant problems over the years.... I do have to watch my head at the CM Buffalo Market as some of the roofs have to be ducked under....Since I might go once or twice a year it's not a real concern.... Had one ride in a 10 passenger van that was cramped; but I think that would happen no matter the country.... Buying shirts where the shoulders and chest fit & it doesn't balloon out at the waist + finding decent shoes/choices is more a challenge than doorways, chairs, etc. while knocking around....

https://tenor.com/3vAi.gif The OP - thanks for sharing this topic - it's now a movie....

Personally, I'm not really a "wordy" person.... Why take 100+ words when I can give a answer or comment in far less....If I have helpful advice nobody else has broached, I'll offer it.... I'm not in need of attention, nor do I think I need to impose my opinions on others.... I don't batter people with words in person either....

I suspect that I might have somewhere along the way..... However, I would never think to ask anybody about what forums they are into online.... If the question happened to be raised I'd watch, learn, and listen before commenting.... A few years back, it seemed most of the foul, uncouth, bullying/fight provoking ones either dropped off or were culled out... Most of us on here just reflect the (semi ????) normal among us - sharing life's twisty, slippery, & unpredictable rocky road....Thai drivers and all.....

Thankfully, many years in, I've never experienced anything like that....(3 female house/2 daughters, teen & 21).... No way I'd put up with it....From any of them .... If there had been any inclination toward that behavior while dating, it would've been bye bye immediately....

Intermittent fasting with a balance of food groups would be my opinion....

Took me about a year to deprogram myself from the "rush" of life & the drive/guilt of not going to work....I didn't really miss anyone or anything about work - just the hardwired response that I HAD to get up and go....Work had never been a centerpiece of my life, but it still took a period of time to make the adjustment..... Fortunately, I got myself out & about taking on new challenges... Something a little more difficult to do taking in today's environment.... I never was a bar goer, so was never surrounded by, or beholden to that crowd.... Hopefully Mick can do something, even if mundane like power walking or bike riding away from people, just to see the outside, the sun, wind, sea.....Mild exercise at home = something to break up his routine of nothingness.... We have people we haven't, can't see + a university sweetheart of a daughter that wants to come home for holiday - wife says nope = no safety.... Don't know the who, what, wear of her interactions.... Unfortunately, we're stuck with the temperamental, flighty, bratty-ish daughter in house - unfortunately - I can't trade them.. Mick's going to have to make some positive changes & weather the storm....
