Will an appointed government official overturn this in a year or two?

Can you expand on that?

Why does it take only one man to make this decision for everyone else. Is he elected?

Some action. Seven approval and Seven Pending. None are available to view online, None emailed to me as EOB email. Oh, 3 are from Jan//Feb that are pending. OK, I'll call that better but still substandard. How GeoBlue got the overseas contract for FEP-BLUE is probably amazing.

Evan worse; MOST radios are not digital. Gonna be a big expensive for poor people.

Yes, BB disabled my ATM and online is good for checking balance only. SSA direct deposit from USA is the reason. I also have to show up at a branch every month to 'unfreeze' the deposit. Any branch is ok to show up in person, we'll see. Also transfer to my K-Bank account cam only be done in person at 120BT per. Twenty baht if I want a check and go deposit at K-Bank. I've had the account since 2014. A form letter was maiked to your address on record a couple weeks ago if you're a direct deposit of SSA.

I suspect an "AGENT" will be needed by many. Hope my visa agent has or is developing a relationship with the tax office.

I've had a Bangkok Bank account since 2011. Send my pension, retirement check, IRS return and occasionally some from my Schwab trading account. Then I go online PC and move money to Kasikorn account to pay bills. Well, no more of that. Bank says if I want to keep getting pension and retirement deposits then I can no longer use online or ATM. Further I must show up in person at any branch to claim(acknowledge) my direct deposits (twice a month) and then take cash out or pay 120 baht to transfer money to Kasikorn. I CAN do 20 baht check and go deposit into Kasikorn. So very cumbersome and no where near as convenient as the last 12 years. This started Tuesday 28th of May.

I'd expect Thailand to find some way to unload any Chinese tourist money.

I received the same letter for an inquiry I made. The letter dated 22nd March. I got the letter the 29th of April. Still 'Pending" as I type this comment even though the letter said it'd be 15 more days til taken care of.

Not so according to CNN’s Erin Burnett, the pilots put on the seatbelt sign and moments later hit the air pocket.

I didn't read that in the article, perhaps they did and passengers knew better or were asleep. (a bit of sarcasm there at the end).

Not simple for me either. I paid in advance for a wristwatch that later was cancelled by the seller. Lazada says I have to download an app to get access to the refund. However, the app says for Thai only. So, 1500 baht stuck in Thai limbo.

Can the rice be used to make alcohol ?

I imagine the poll was taken outside a brewery or distillery or liquor store. Too easy to manipulate what a poll says.

Bangkok Hospital Pattaya did/does get GOB (Guarantee of Benefit) for my chemo appointments. BPH did fine last year with GMMI. However how can I possibly trust GeoBlue to honor a GOB? At the end of the day I'm afraid I'm the one that'll be declared persona non grata and kicked out of the country after being taken to court for nonpayment. Last year the email BCBS sent us said GeoBlue was competent; seems not to be true. BPH did fine last year with GMMI. I'm surprised BPH still takes FEPBCBS GOB. Chemo is around 300,000 baht each infusion.

GEO-BLUE took over claims processing from GMMI the first of the year. I've 7 Chemo bills from Bangkok Pattaya Hospital that are still pending; none have been paid. GEO-BLUE says " we are unfortunately experiencing longer than normal claims processing times. ". Seems ludacris to me, they knew the work load from when GMMI did the processing previously before GEO-BLUE took over. Anyone else having the same concerns with GEO-BLUE (FEP BCBS) ?

Good to know, thanks. Did you have to turn in your Thai license when the DMV issued you a state license ?

I thought the violence went way further back in time. At least as far back as the Jews with the Ark of the Covenant destroyed (genocide?) entire groups of people at God's suggestion( was he that gave them the power of the Ark).

I thought it was outright Sarcasm; good to see its use officially.

I bet it is a troop train. 🙂

Too bad Thailand doesn't have oil out in the Gulf that it could harvest. That's Sarcasm; should be an icon for it. (not sarcasm)

Aggressive Territorial Dogs ?

I expect one good thing about a DoomsDay bomb would be that it could be placed around your own territory so that if it is disturbed by another nations nuclear arsenal then it'd go off automatically. Doomsday doesn't have to hit a target, just go off.

Good job Thailand; seems Iran has performed it's retribution via many missiles & drones on Israel yesterday. No Thai's injured or killed.
