Sure, I buy from the pickups too when they have strawberries "in stock". I haven't seen any up my way this year though. Pratamnak area. The people who used to sell only strawberries in Ratanakorn haven't had much either recently. I'll have to check.

Sorry to butt in, but is said friend really going to rely on the replies on this forum to decide his future relationship with his child? Go see a lawyer, surely!

Not Amsterdam yet? How much further is it?

Grassed up. Never trust a hippy.

Yes indeed I am. The smell turns my stomach. It's not the meat is off or anything. Just the smell of corpse. Yes 1am for many stalls but some are still setting up at that time. I used to get Chinese peaches and nectarines from one of the 24 hour fruit stalls (at the main intersection) but they haven't arrived yet. And a very disappointing strawberry showing this year. Maybe it's too early? It's peculiar that most stalls are run by Cambodians. Has it always been that way? And the use of the main thoroughfare as a rat run by motorbikes is crazy.

And open extremely early when very little traffic around. 2am start for the veggies, a bit later for fruit. The meat section I avoid.

From a reliable source, the best customers are from a certain Asian country, nicknamed 333. 3", 3 minutes, 3,000.

Must remember to ask the scammer if he knows who I am. That should sort it.

He couldn't put the deed in his name. It would have been in the company name.

Whoever the alleged buyer was, was also being deceived. He wouldn't have been able to sell the land without the authorisation of the company directors. All of them. And the company secretary.

I see only phone payments in 7 by Thai people. They never pay cash. I use scan mostly too, in Makro, Big C etc. No change given, clean and quick. Shows immediately in my KT account. Don't even need a card. Stuck behind somebody paying 15,374 THB cash. OMG!

My ex from Phrae made the hottest dish I have EVER tasted, just a yam woon sen but blisteringly scorching. Virtually inedible for the untrained palate. Many Thais though don't particularly like extremely hot dishes. Course, it depends on the chilis used.

I have a bank card. I don't need a Wise card. The best things about Wise are: 1. My pensions get paid in to my Wise sterling account. 2. I can send and hold PHP in my Philippines Wise account. 3. I can transfer in and out whenever I want, hassle free. 4. I have £, $, PHP and € accounts. Revolut won't allow signing up from a Thai address. I lost the sale of my house to US citizens because US banks were so squeamish about transferring $ to Wise. My Wise $ account is held in New York. The buyer's bank was in Florida. No can do. And serious limitations on any other $ transfers. $4,500 per month. Maybe there are other ways to do this, like transfer $40,000 into a Wise $ account from the US, but we couldn't figure out a way.

Not sure you can hold THB in Wise. They might show the equivalent of your various accounts in THB but they don't have a THB account per se. I have a PHP Wise account as I live in Philippines.

I'd add Yam, as in "salad". Yam mamuang, green mango salad, is delicious but often quite difficult to come by. Yam woon sen, very thin rice noodle salad. Etc. Yam kop, frog salad, pla, kung etc.

What's on the woke agenda?

Er, wasn't the point of the post you are replying to suggesting the complete opposite? That many Goppers are poor, lazy and out of work?

Source for that please.

You must speak extremely fluent, colloquial Thai to have partaken in those exchanges. The driver chases you down for a 1 star review? And rants in Thai? I'm in total disbelief.

Wrlife cover me for $400,000.

She sounds an amazingly generous patron. Womens' football is becoming huge. It's refreshing to watch women taking control of their sporting lives. And reaping rewards now nearing equivalence to blokes. Golf, volleyball, tennis, footie etc etc.

+44 300 322 7657 I think is the number I use for HMRC. But I haven't had to contact them for some time. I always use Skype for international calls. I hate the interface but it works ok. You can set an auto top up when it falls below a certain level by a preset amount. Or just manually £5, for instance.

I'm insured with, wait for it, WRLife, the pet hate insurers of many on this forum. I have, and have had for about 10 years, Afib which I declared, and which is treated with 3 meds. They set a 2 year moratorium which has now expired, so in theory, same as any company, I'm covered for it and any associated problems. I've just been hospitalised for 9 days with cellulitis in BPH. Total cost 250,000 THB. They paid. And for 3, maybe 4, follow up appointments after discharge. I had 3 days in hospital last year with the same condition, also covered. I pay 10,734 THB pm. I just turned 75. My claims triggered a 500 THB pm rise in premiums. But, as ever, YMMV. I'm not making a recommendation. Just reporting back my experience to date. Just noticed they advertise on this forum, down below. They have a much improved customer service centre if in Thailand, on +66 2 821 6776

Looks like I need to read the policy document again.

Haha. I was on a keto diet for 18 months. Lost 15 kgs.
