  1. I just bought a JBL party box to drown out the 7 small dogs, that live a side of my house, 24/7 constant yapping! I put up with these dogs going on 3 years , during that time , we( wife)put in a complaint to the police and the amphur after the owner threatened my life for telling his dogs to shut up! Six months ago the owner (never disciplines his dogs) got a Chihuahua, which resulted in noise doubling! I noticed he just added more Chihuahuas several weeks ago! The music really drowns out the dogs obsessive barking while giving us relief! My question is whats the legal decibel limit in Thailand! I’ve been playing the jbl party box speaker at 50 % volume from 11am till 9pm for two weeks now with the police coming 2 days ago @8pm asking to turn the volume down! Waiting for Them comments and sincere courteous responses!

    About 20 years ago my brother and i were visiting in the Dominican Republic and the atm impounded his card. It was Sunday so the bank was closed. The next day we went back and stood in line waiting for the bank to open . He got his card back ! I forget what excuse they gave him.

    This happened to me with my Bangkok bank debit card! The atm machine kept my card! i make a habit of only using atm’s at the Bank and inquired . They said the card needed to be updated lol!
  9. Recently i bought a new Oppo phone for my step daughter at one of the phone shops in Robinson! 8999.00 bht. $253.34 11/15/23. Initially the sales girl had tried my USA credit card without success by inserting it into the terminal 3x with each time resulting in a error on the screen! She tried another terminal and that was successful! I checked my transactions on my app, when I got back home that evening and it showed up! I checked my app transactions on 12/3/23 and noticed that I had 3 more transactions of $258.95 from the same phone store! I called my Credit Card company to tell them what happened! They said call back During business hours and suggested I go back to the shop and possibly they could rectify it! I went and showed the girl at the shop My statement transaction's,she said she would go to the bank Monday to check on it! I went back Monday to the phone shop sales clerk ,she said there was 2 merchant terminals that she used Kasikornbank terminal 3 error & krungsi bank 1 successful transactions! Kasikhorn 3 error transaction didnt show receiving any funds in phone shop bank account. Krungsi bank showed the 8999.00bht. I came back home spoke to the card co. I made a dispute for 3 $258.95 charges and explained what I thought happened.They will investigate and it can take up to 2 billing cycles.Also the card company rep was a bit confused at what happened. Eventually she said it sounds like a triple overcharge and classified it that way ! She also asked if I tried to straighten it out with the phone shop ! I said yes they have no funds received for The disputed 3 charges. The next day I see a $0 temp transaction for doordash.com immediately called the Credit Card company and disputed this they suggested to lock my card , i did. One hour later I was curious where the doordash was transacting from ,they said they didn’t know but suggested that I cancel the card and issue a new one! I did.They are sending it to Thailand as i asked and told them I wouldn’t be back to the states until late 2024! Heres where AliExpress comes into the picture . I bought a lawnmower part on October 4 with a delivery date no later than December 6 ! The seller sent a message(about the same time of my phone shop issues) through the aliexpress app , telling me to contact a number or go on the thaipost link he provides to check the tracking number. A couple of hours later I was curious if door dash.com was still there on the temp transactions it was gone but Paypal alipay aliexpress amazon airb&b were recent transactions of $0 temp! My wife told me aliexpress seller is performing scam's! Your thoughts?
  10. Very few complained when they came legally into the USA! Now its a crisis and its been that way since the cultural Marxist took control of the Wokehouse imop

    I’ll bite! Its a curse at times to want those sao som noi’s ! I blame it on Nong Ricky! 70 years old and my desire’s have never subsided! Fortunately my wife who is 22 years younger , allows me to get my business taken care of with other ladies when ever I feel the need ,( no intercourse). I try to make it a point to service her needs(intercourse ) minimum 2x p/m. The longest i went without ejaculating was 5 weeks and that was because I was recovering from a prostate procedure!( it was frustrating).
  13. According to your source ,theres more Thai’s being held hostage. Insane ,to think the diplomats didn’t negotiate for all of them!
  14. Yes ,my wife loves to decorate! She puts up the Christmas tree and strings lights on our palm trees! It makes her happy while thinking Santa might bring a gift. He usually does! Its all good!
  15. Two opposing cultures , Thai & Malaysia . imop
  16. The families of dead Thai’s should be given a large sum of monies by the terrorist authorities of Hamas! The Thai hostages who were kidnapped should be given a large stipend , as well!
  17. No doubt! When my Daughter was in HS , she had a English test and she was texting her mother the questions live! Some of the Thai/ English teachers had no clue on proper learning techniques ! How should you speak to a Thai student who has a difficult time understanding English conversation ?Should you converse in pigeon talk or use proper vocabulary? imop
  18. Much easier to arrest a proud British lad who has captured the hearts of UK past !The Cultural Marxist started this Globalization push! God speed to the Tommie’s of the world! imop
  19. The link i used from here for Youtube premium says free for 1 month than $18.99 p/m after! https://www.youtube.com/paid_memberships Didnt somebody mention 159 bht p/m?
  20. “ Well can't really say what was justified or I might get suspended, complaints are not necessarily nasty, most were just statements of how they had been treated and why they were not happy about it”. Havent been on TD but ive been on Reddit and the other! The admin here would be wise to check out the Pulse of opinions formed about them and AN general wellness. A perfect business tool, honest discussion of likes & dislikes about mods and their Ad popups etc!
  21. Back to the emoji crisis again & again & … I’ve been here(forum )long enough to realize some people just can’t get a long with others comments & opinions. Thumbs 👍 Thumbs down 👎 . Everything else including the anonymous posting of them, is ridiculous! imop
  22. Come on UN , step up and show you got a pair! Qatar hosted the World Cup recently , no doubt in my mind some of those Hamas elites made a killin! UN should shame them into covering these Thai’s expenses! imop
  23. you might have something there! In my world, anytime a journalist reports events without voicing activism , is newsworthy!
  24. So true! My ex father in law ( American)had Diabetes! His daughters always beat him down when they found his Stash of sweets! I loved that guy!
  25. No accountability, no responsibility! Dont accept checks in Thailand!
