To die (with wealth) or not to die, that is the question.
mrwebb8825 replied to sidjameson's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Never heard of a show out of Detroit but Pawn Stars is out of Las Vegas. OP - Depending on the amount you're talking about, I'd book a luxury suite on Viking Cruises or Carnival Cruises or a combination for a year. They're all inclusive (save gambling and shopping) and would only cost you around $5,000-$6,000 a month. Next, I'd book a seat/space on a SpaceX flight to the space station and stay a couple of months (would probably be bored by then). Since my wife and I live in her families village I would work with the village elders, the temple and the school to make sure all the children get a good education for free to take some of the burden off the families. Updated books, sports equipment and science equipment as well as good teachers cost quite a bit. With the elders and monks overseeing things it would hedge the bet against corrupt government directors as you could designate the school as private with 90% Thai management. (you would be the remaining 10%) Just some thoughts since you asked. -
I grew up in a 99% Jewish neighborhood! Did you?

OP - stop me if you've heard this 1 Elderly Jewish Gentleman goes to a restaurant and orders a meal The waiter brings the first course EJG calls the waiter back and says "Taste the soup." Waiter asks "What's wrong with it?" EJG "taste the soup" Waiter "Is it too hot, too cold?" EJG "Taste the soup" Waiter "Ok, fine. Ah, where's the spoon?" EJG "AHA" -

Wonder if they'll be adding a speed checkout line for 3 crimes or less? -
British Man Arrested for Allegedly Selling Cocaine in Phuket

My wife and I are currently going through the process now. The ONLY 2 ways for her to live in the states for 5+ years is via green card and gaining US citizenship which requires a green card first. The people at the SSA office here told me that she can only claim my benefits for the rest of her life if she remains living in the US with a valid green card OR becomes a citizen and returns to the states every year. ALL time spent here on a tourist visa does NOT count towards the 5 years. It took us 1 year (with the help of a lawyer) to get her green card. (people have done it all on their own but 1 misstep and you start all over again) It also makes a difference on the forms filed whether you and she are in the states or in Thailand so research it well. (we found out we were doing it wrong which is why we brought in a lawyer) If you're going to do it here bring 100x the proof of marriage that you normally need at Thai immigration including pictures from your 1st date to last night's supper. Have 5-10 friends/family with firsthand knowledge of your relationship write support letters for you as well. I for 1, will never complain about "That 1 more form" Thai immigration asks for when we are done and finally move back home. Good Luck

I need a new Computer – But not a Laptop – Any advice .
mrwebb8825 replied to tomgreen's topic in IT and Computers
another thought would be to get a new PS5 tower. They are generally built better than standard PC towers and can do all the same things. You can order them with Linux OS installed. They also come with the best internal workings as they're designed to be used for high speed graphics. Just a thought. -
Bought mine on Lazada - arrived with no extra charges and fully loaded with requested software in English.

Some of you may (or may not) remember, back around 2001/2002 there used to be a really nice '63/'64 black Corvette parked on the side of the road for sale heading from Pattaya to Jomtien about 1/2 way down the hill. When I lived in Hua Hin I used to see King Rama 9 enjoying an outing driving his '70 Camero along the beach road south to Pran Buri and back under heavy army escort. It would seem that classics have always been allowed - maybe the new government is just looking to increase the pocket money.

Blocked From Enter Thailand

If he was married to the lady he was slapping around then don't be too sad for him as he most likely no longer has a condo or savings anymore. -

By all means, enlighten those of us whom are obviously below your level of expertise in the lives of middle-class Thai women. -
How can I assimilate myself more into Thai culture?
mrwebb8825 replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
You can't Bob. Let's face it, you'll always and forever be known as the foreigner that was groped by the mailman while trying to bang his wife's' friends. You're a legend, settle in and enjoy the role you studly guy you. -
Thai cops probe groping incident by foreign men in Bangkok
mrwebb8825 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Again, reading things into the post with a preconceived notion - no where did I say groping is fine - what I DID say is the story is all one-sided so far yet the "Hang-'em High" squad is out in full force. IF this whole story had occurred in Pattaya it would be viewed differently but Pattaya doesn't have the market cornered on false accusations by Thai females to scam foreign males, by foreign males misbehaving, by prostitution that (doesn't exist in Thailand), by ladyboy gangs, etc. It's just more famous for it. -
There's a new product out in the states that looks like an over-sized mascara for men to use on the head and facial hair. Part of the woke generation I guess. I think my natural wisps of grey look just fine and dandy.

Overstay or extension?
mrwebb8825 replied to jimmybcool's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
One's illegal and one's admitting to your mistake and correcting it like a man. Tough enough choice that you had to even ask? -

would you please post a list of the places where this would be considered normal. I'd like to book a groping tour. -
Thai cops probe groping incident by foreign men in Bangkok
mrwebb8825 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Sure are a lot of you on here suddenly believing in the innocence and purity of 2 Thai women out on the prowl on Khoa San Rd at night. I get it that most of this happens in Pattaya but nobody goes to Khoa San Rd late in the evening/night for the food. Why are there NO pictures to back-up the claims of not drinking and not dressed provocatively? Yet these were 2 stringently made points by the 2 in the original police report. Also, according to the twitter post, her English is better than many on here. -

there's still no proof of the groping - police are correct in wanting to check independent CCTV footage before making the same assumption. -

and her twitter post: "Yall know him? 21:00 At khaosan road these 2 guys came up to my friend & one of them groped her butt. Instead of being guilty he was giggling and She then proceed to give him a couple punches. The other bald guy was trying stop me from filming, they walked away" ! story for the police and 1 story for the "Outraged Netizens" Seems there was an assault, just not the 1 reported. -
All you need is a smart tv, REALLY good internet (at least 500mg down speed) an HDMI cable and a good CPU. Use the smart tv to search for available streaming services and the CPU to search for good tv sites (like referenced above) and you can watch anything you like for not much money (mostly the internet and original outlay for the tv and cpu). You can even use this setup to make free video calls home. AND, if the tv supports picture in picture, you can video call your friends back home while watching your sports. Only other things you'd need are a GREAT recliner and a fridge full of beer. ps. wireless mouse and keyboard so you can search from the recliner.
