But only 11.3% of that 300 baht will be for insurance. So somewhere in the region of 33-34 baht. The rest will disappear down a mysterious sinkhole. Never to be seen again.

I wonder if elective surgery is covered under other incidents. Expats might actually get their money's worth.

You can buy them on Lazada. Much better if you also have an Amazon Prime subscription. Though you will need a VPN.

I feel sorry for the Isuzu.

you have to click on the "Bank Transfer" in order to see all the banks. HTH

Yes. Bangkok Bank is the first option. See below. So click on View all methods, then Bank Transfer, then tick the required bank from the list.

I don't think Lazada has stopped iBanking payments. I still use it to pay. You have to look for the "View all methods" and click on that. Top right in blue. It then brings up all the different banks.

Are you using a VPN? That sometimes causes a security check.

i do daily stretches, but the one that I can really feel stretching my lower back is one that they call the "Downward Dog" in yoga. Lots of info on Google. It also stretches the leg muscles and tendons. But I agree with other posters that stomach tightening exercises are beneficial as well.

+1. Or any type of epoxy resin. Normally have to mix two different parts together into one paste. Sets pretty hard, but won't set it seconds like Super glue does.

What are you planning to do from 75-77? Go back to work? ????

Seems like honesty isn't always the best policy. Either put it back where found, or have a spend up.

Go up the lake road from the beach, straight across the roundabout, as if heading to the big Lotus. On the corner of the right turn to Thai International Hospital there is a new night market that starts around 5:50 pm. Lots of food stalls there. The only cheap place that I know of personally is Pae Chuan Chim in Bangrak. Just past Seven Bar. HTH

I have a Canon printer/scanner/copier that works well with my Mac. Bought online from www.invadeit.co.th Very reliable. Highly recommended for all things computer. You can contact them and they will advise you what printers are compatible. The one problem that you might have is limited choice. At the moment there seems to be a shortage of everything due to the pandemic. Or have a look at the following lists: https://www.macworld.com/article/668416/best-printers-for-mac-2022.html https://machow2.com/best-all-in-one-printer-mac/ Some models numbers might be different for Asia market.

You should be able to look up your phone model's specs on the internet, including supported wavelengths. You may need to search by your phone's particular serial number. E.g. iPhones. https://www.apple.com/iphone/cellular/ Same for Thailand's main phone providers such as this example: https://www.ais.th/bestnetwork/en/?intcid=getpage-th-header_menu-consumer_menu-network_submenu1-4G_submenu2

How are they going to smoke their joints? Cut a hole in the front? ????

Most people will look online and book whichever hotel fits their budget. So if they push the rates up, people will simply look for the best or cheaper deals. Hotels that will be empty because too expensive, will be forced to drop their rates. Thais might get cheaper rates, but the mainstay for most of these hotels is international tourist. Upset them and they will go elsewhere. If this gets in the western press: Foreigners must pay higher rates than thais for hotels, it will be looked at as discriminatory. They can't class this one along with the national park fee or tourist tax. Thailand shoots itself in the foot once again. Air B'n'B and the like must be rubbing their hands.

I thought they were twerking.

I wouldn't like to see a close up.

Well that's an announcement I never thought I would see issued to a a police force. Police shouldn't smoke weed in the Police Station. Sort of stating the obvious.

GF tried to claim for her and daughter from their insurance. They made it impossible. Never answered phone calls, insisted on real rather than copies of documents, posted to them, not emailed. Then sent email claiming they never received them. In the end she gave up as she no longer had the original documents to prove anything and could never get through to them.

When I first came here, I was amazed to see how the Thais would use their bikes and cars to go everywhere. Even really short distances. One shop to another that was less than 50 metres away. Now they have found a way to let someone else do all their shopping and cooking, (breakfast lunch and dinner) while they lay on their sofa watching Youtube or FaceBook. And the added bonus is it saves wear and tear on their own vehicles.

Typical billionaire without any money worries. I think he must have been sampling what he has been legalising. If hotels are too expensive, no one will come. Many have already gone out of business or are up for sale due to the pandemic. . People have no money after what has been, and is happening in the world today. Dream on.

I agree. I use AIS for phone service, but prefer 3BB for internet at home.

When the pandemic kicked in, everyone was told to avoid handling dirty cash and use e banking instead. Previously, the banks had charged a small fee for this service, but then dropped the charge. Over the next two years people found how easy it was and got used to using it. Even the small food stalls often have a QR code pinned up for payment. The banks then found they could cut costs by closing branches: No rent or staff salaries to pay. Less ATMs to buy or maintain. All equals more profit. The cynic in me still thinks that once the public are fully hooked on e banking, the banks will reintroduce a charge for transactions.
