The beer I had for breakfast....

Nada planned for tonight - probably tomorrow..... That could change with a glance at the liquor cabinet, but it's too f**kn' hot for it to be inviting....

No longer able to book appointment for marriage extension

We did ours through the satellite location at the mall....They were trundling them through there.... It's a briskly busy place.... -
How far behind is the Philippines compared to Thailand ?
pgrahmm replied to Harsh Jones's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I found the same years ago before I found, & settled in Thailand..... If you want to see a few foreigners (with an "oh-sh*t how did this happen") look, go to the next Catholic church christening ceremony where they literally crank christenings out by the 100's..... -
How far behind is the Philippines compared to Thailand ?
pgrahmm replied to Harsh Jones's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Having had many Filipino visitors in TH; the most concise statement one made regarding this was..... The Philippines could be like Thailand in 20 years with foresight, planning, & the will to complete what they start....She believed that the people just didn't have drive to complete projects.... The PI is full of projects left only partially completed and abandoned.... -
I've had issues, with them on 2 different vehicles (2 tries).... When the front axles dropped out of my wife's Civic after CV joint servicing in under 500 kilometers I went with the receipt to the desk & was told it was over 60 days & not covered.... Luckily she was driving slowly on a straight road when the axles popped..... I have much stronger feelings but won't express them on a public forum... They're quick on upsells with dab a lube trays, etc. They remind me of the Goodyear/Firestone shops in the US.....

Bow & arrow?

They are considered to be more photogenic in front of the camera..... More symmetrical..... But yeah, a lot, if not most - smallish....

Stalking was one main reason....

You talked the talk - Now - walk the walk....

Quality assorted chocolates or cookies.... It's presentable, appreciated, and can be enjoyed by the entire staff.....They will always remember the nice gesture....

Chiang Mai storage/removals will pick you up - get you to the airport & pick you up upon returning....I think it's about 2k per month.....They will keep your car garaged & maintain the battery & tires.....
-
Most veterinary hospitals offer some boarding.....Hang Dong Animal Hospital is was came to mind based on the size of it's facility..... While I was looking it up a pet hotel popped up at the top of the map & that might be a better option..... Hope this helps - we have 11 + a dog so our daughters tend to them at our house....
-
I'd do it for $10mil....It would probably end pretty quickly.....Once I woke up.🥊 Guessing about a week or three back to feeling semi normal...

I got a "world travel card" (black) - I think it's called from SCB.... It's linked to my regular account & allows you to import from your Thai account....Then, if needed you can use that balance to buy/convert to a foreign currency if needed..... I used it on our US trip & it performed perfectly.....>If used there at gas pumps I'd have to go to the cashier first - not pay at the pump<....It should suit your needs.... I didn't try it for online purchases, if that's your want.... I was told that my BBK bank card was cleared for international use, but it was hit & miss so I used the SCB card exclusively.... You use a pin number sometimes (which you assign), other times it goes right through....

How can I assimilate myself more into Thai culture?
pgrahmm replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Buy a bar..... Introduce pole dancing into your "hood"..... That'll give you immediate status & identity.... -
This is MaeYa waterfall about 3 weeks ago.... There's pools just below the main falls & in the stream below.... By the parking lot you can buy food & refreshments & sit with your feet in the flowing water or claim a rock to picnic in... On the way to Ob Luang there's a river you can splash around in.... There's a river through Pai with drive in access.... I wish there were more closer so I could take my dog swimming.....Mae Wang has river rafting & a national park with splashing areas....

They have no due diligence in study or in practice..... Coupled with no social skills.... They take whatever programming that is shoveled at them as gospel & live on a very shallow level..... It's precisely true, the government wants a dumbed down, zombie like population to control (one reason they allow recreational marijuana in many places)..... Prescient thinkers are trampled & shouted down by a tsunami of programmed lemmings..... Courtesy of the social media's task masters....
-
They deport him = they lose him....I doubt that they let him keep his passport.... By keeping him around there's time to build other cases or connections, possibly involving more crimes.... Does anyone know if there are charges lodged against his wife?

Running a sanctuary/foundation & bragging/shouting about paying 1,000,000฿ a month for his villa lease..... The first thought that struck me was money laundering....

The fallout from Swissgate -- so much for tolerance
pgrahmm replied to n00dle's topic in General Topics
Most of those, away from the violent acts, probably routinely take place on any given day..... -
In the few times I've been around the monkey havens they've been unwatched, huge numbers, waiting to snatch/grab anything that might get their attention..... They're not cute & can be intimidating if you have a family/group to watch out for that catches their attention.... Even to the point of them jumping onto the hood of the car while we were trying to drive away....Sling shots are better than euthanizing them or paint ball guns..... At the places I've been it's clearly their territory....
