Location limited maybe, try the short version. I saw that one live In Thailand online from Singapore.

 

 

Thanks Hummin!

I might have to start watching One FC again. Tough young lady

There is a pretty big swimming pool at Trinity Silom. You can sunbathe there. Should be pretty close to you.

It is in the old hotel building, not the more newly built one. Its a 3-star hotel, and a bit dated, but has a pretty nice old-style vibe with marble etc. Its clean. Day passes are around 300 I think. You also get access to a small gym, and the mens room has a very nice sauna so I assume the women have one too. 

On the floor below the pool there is an outdoor running track, tennis court and a nice garden.

I dont understand this talk of whitening cream and hating on teachers, too many bitter ppl with nothing to do I guess.

Sounds like an american bully. 

Its sad that it becomes a fashion to get these dogs when many cant properly look after them.

Even if the steel cage is outdoors it will get very hot in the hot season.

The american bully usually has a good temperament against people. 

They are very powerful and need an outlet for their energy.

He might be used for breeding, as they can rent him out to other people who has a female. If he is a good specimen. 

Tragic that he has to sit in a box.

Not sure where you are located. 

If it is in pattaya maybe contact one of these: 

Hope for strays foundation

Soi dog foundation (dont think they are in pattaya, but they may be able to help)

The man that rescues dogs (This is just one guys operation but he helps dogs and is in chonburi)

Usually the dog rescues are quite full, so getting a new pet and healing it would be great karma.

I walk everyday with my dog, an around here where i walk are a lots

of "free" running dogs. I have a bigger dog (bangkaew), but hes still young around 8 months.

They come always in a pack 5-7 dogs barking and want/trying to attack. At the begin

i start defending like shout at them and raise my hand, that worked well because they back off.

But its to stressful for me everytime when i walk to be prepared for a fight.

 

What worked for me:

 

Its super easy, I took 2-3 hands of normal dogfood in my pocket, if they come barking and agressive. I dont care and keep cool, i take a hand off dogfood and throw it around to them

like I would feed some birds. At the begin they was surprised "what is this, whats going on?"

But the first one starts to eat the others follow, they totaly ignor me and my dog.

(I guess they dont get enough food anyway from the "owner").

 

I did this for about 1 week (day number 2-4 they still barking but you will notice the difference, the agressive behavior will go down), now when i come around the corner with my dog, they waiting already quiet and patiently and waiting for some little dogfood.

No barking, agressive attacks or anything else. Even sometimes i forget to take something,

they dont care and be nice, they hope for the next day ????

 

Hope this will help you, have a good day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is how you get good karma! And a relaxing walk!

A sauna should be a very safe place to be. I know the saunas there are pretty small, but as long as you are not cramped.

Havent been yet, so really cant help you much. The locker room is so small so will be difficult to have any kind of distancing there. 

Ive been to a couple of gyms now and ppl are going back to normal more and more. Most ppl dont use masks at gyms anymore. 

Most likely the gym wont be crowded so you can distance yourself.

Btw i pulled one out of my dogs ass the other day. It was prob 20 cms long accompanied with a bit of blood. Nasty......

Ill probably start eating a de-wormer once per year. Pharmacies got em. There are also herbal options.

Toss the phone and buy her a non smartphone Nokia. And one for you too so its fair.

Is that really wrong? They are not eating in the shop, just waiting for their food? Do ppl have to stand and wait outside? I dont know the rules.....

There is still an excellent used book store in Chiang Mai, not far from the Thapae Gate. Look on Google Maps for The Lost Book Shop, just inside the moat. It is owned by the same person as the former Backstreet Books, and continues their excellent service. It has a large stock.

Great shop with a relaxing vide. I love browsing their titles. Nice ppl too.

You might be able to find it on lazada, some sellers offer shipping in 2-3 days. 

If I remember correctly, this is how it went for me. I could transfer the stamp at immigration in Chiang Mai from old PP to new PP. I did it a couple of months ago. No appointment with Elite needed. Took 20 mins. Next time I travel abroad I transfer the sticker when I arrive at BKK or CM I think as new PP still doesnt have sticker. Perhaps appointment needed for that.

This was a new rule they told me. Anyway not much bother. 

Obv need to travel with both PPs.

According to https://www.hindawi.com/journals/av/2011/734690/

it seems that SARS didnt survive nearly as long on surfaces in hot weather according to that study. And droplets may spread further in cold weather according to https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/commentary/hot-climate-wuhan-virus-vaccine-12389694

Not exactly the same virus, but from what I read scientists seem to think they might react the same. 

The thai elite visa sticker is valid for 5 years, but Ive heard you get 6 years stay, just enter the country again just before the visa sticker expires, and you get 1 more year. That takes it to 83k per year. Plus you save 2-3 k in taxi savings over 5 years if you use their limo service when you come into the country, one per year. And you skip the queue at suvarnabhum as they escort you when you exit the country and enter the country. I spent more than 53k a year on my student visa, but I dont stay in guesthouses etc when i travel. I spent quite a bit of money going to laos, flying, taxi to the city, hotels, tuk tuk to the embassy, taxi back to the border etc. I calculated on it and estimated i spent around 60k on my visa at the time. If you have the money and will stay for sure I think elite is a pretty sweet choice. You dont have to pay 50-60k a year and worry every time you renew at the embassy, every time you enter the country to active the visa, or worry every time you fly in........

Hi,

A month ago I bought a product from the US online and had it shipped. The cost was a bit over 1000 USD plus freight. Was told to pick it up at customs in Chiang Mai at the airport.

They told me that since the value of the product was more than, I think, 40 000 or 45 000 baht, some kind of import permit was needed? Anyway they agreed to let me have the product without it and just pay the normal fee plus VAT tax. About 20 % of the value I think it was.

Now I want to buy another item priced over 45 000 baht. Does anyone know what extra fees this involves? I dont have a business and dont have any kind of import permit.

Thanks,

OK. He got 15 days visa.

He used to be on double entry tourist visas, but never any red stamp.

Thanks, all he is Czech so that would mean 15 days. Not sure how many exempts stamps he has, Ill ask. His passport is almost full he says, so probably several Thai tourist visa stamps.

If he flies back in there would be no problem? And then he gets one month.

Thanks

Hi,

A buddy got denied a tourist visa in Vientiane (2nd in a row single entry I think) and is at the border very stressed.

He can come back into Thailand without problem, right? Will he get 2 weeks?

Thanks

Thai girlfriend wants to get an insurance, from her bank insurance company, that pays out in case I have a traffic accident etc.

Basically she said she would pay 2000 baht per year, and if I die in a traffic accident she would get 1.5 million baht. I ride my motorbike daily.

Now I dont think she will run me over, I am not too worried about that .

But does this insurance exist?

We live together, and have done so for about 5 years, but we are not married.

Are the sales people telling lies to her? She has her own life insurance with the same bank insurance company.

Dont know the area that well, but I think you need to get some special milk from a pet store. If you can find goat milk that is better than cow milk. Easier for them to digest, preferably raw. Health food shops often have it.

I think things will be back to normal within a year or two, after the election. Too much money will be lost like this, I think they are underestimating the amount of money these people spend in the tourism industry. For me, I just think Thailand will be a bit more boring than usual, a lot of younger people gone. Will be a bit like a geriatric ward.

It is quite insane for a tourist country like thailand to not let people who have the money to stay there without working, stay as long as they want.
