Thank you. Will check these out.

That was a real beauty. A 1966 Gibson Byrdland. Gibson built 10,000 guitars in 1966, and only 45 completely hand carved/hand built Byrdlands. I bought it in San Francisco in 2003, and sold it in 2013, but I still miss it.

I have been looking online and it seems the age limit is 65 at Thai Red Cross, Bangkok. I am 76 and married, but there is a chance I might outlive my Thai wife and be all alone. So I'd like to take care of business. I also reside in Chiang Mai part of the year, so I could go at either location.

So...where can I sign up to have somebody take care of my body after I pass? I have no preference for burial or cremation, just the easiest most trouble-free cost effective disposal. I know everybody says "I'm in good health"...but regarding being in good health for medical donation...I still train almost every day, maintain a resting heart-rate of 50  BPM, BP 112/70, body fat 10%, and pretty much avoid all 'animal' products...fresh fruits and vegetables are my primary food source. 

I know..."who gives a sh#t"...! Dead is dead.

Looking for advice regarding my passing here in LOS.

Thanks in advance.

I remain neutral, Amigo.

I heard that they fired almost everybody, and hired some late arrival Canadians at half the price. Musk is a 'penny-pincher', and Donald likes it.

You can send them annoying messages, also tell them you H8T Trump"  

Thanks Nick. 

Hi Jingthing,

Yeah...thanks for that.

I guess 'no news is good news'.

I guess I was expecting 'American proficiency'.

All my previous applications since 1969, have been 'in person'. 

This is a first for me.

Kind regards

Okay, Thanks.

I used registered mail Thai Post. Which tells me something. But I was hoping for a:

"Hey, we got your Passport, and are processing the new one as we speak. Should be x days".

Your Friends at the US Embassy 

I have been in Thailand too long...to know that

"if there is a way to 'fritz' something up...it will happen here".

I don't trust nobody...!  (how's that for a double negative)

Thanks...!

Oops, Thanks!

12 days ago I did a mail-in Passport Renewal to the US Embassy in Bangkok.

I just spent some time on their web site to see if I could check my 'status', but could not find anything.

• As in...did they actually receive my passport and documents...?
• Was everything acceptable/okay, etc.

I feel like I just mailed my info into a big 'black hole'.

Is there a 'link' to check up on this type of information...?

These here 'Thais' are an ingenious and creative bunch. The rest of the world could learn by their example.

it's amazing that when I read your post I think you old man and then I remember I am 50 years old.

Yes, amazing…!

In developed nations…50 is not old.

Are you Thai…?

“I don’t vote…”

Just finally received a password.

Cheers...!

Sorry, I did mean Chiang Wattana (Bangkok).

My Passport Visa reads: Non-B 

My extension reads: Thai Wife

Regarding the two posted links: the first one is regarding applying for your 'Visa' online, not an appointment for Chiang Wattana.

The 2nd site asks for my email to send me a password...so far no password sent after 5 attempts. It's 2:38 in the afternoon...must be nap time.

Thanks again.

If anybody has another 'Book appointment on-line' for Chiang Wattana, I would much appreciate it.

I will renew my 'B' visa next month for my 'Thai Wife' classification.

I have several times gone to the Thai Immigration website looking to book my appointment in advance. And I can not seem to find the appropriate 'page'. I know it's probably right under my nose...

Does anybody have the 'link'...?

Thanking you in advance

Cheers
 

I agree with OP, it is so true...!

I refer to it as 'Thai Conclusions'. 

Just imagine, you are playing 'football' and you pass to a Thai team mate, and he starts running the ball speeding down the field...

in the complete opposite direction...

"This is why, I would not trust most people here to do anything but grow….

Papayas and….

Bananas."

Haven't you ever said..."just what are they thinking...?"

"Rolex is the number one choice for people who don't know anything about watches, and is now the watch of choice for drug dealers, petty crimes, nouveau riche, and 'fan boys'. The ideal watch for money launderers."

Technology should not be in the hands of those that did not invent it!

Sounds like a disease to me...!!!

Let me guess...as a student...not very good at Math...

It's striking how the idea that there are too many people in the world has established itself in the collective mind. How about abolishing the IMF and accords such as the Treaty of Lisbon, which force States to borrow their money from private capital markets with interest, and use the billions thus saved to develop infrastructure and implement natalist policies?

Wait...are you saying that there are NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THE WORLD...?!!

There are more than 20 Cannabis dispensaries in my neighborhood,  

but I don't think ANYBODY is smoking the '<deleted>e' that you are smoking...!
