As previously stated there is no such thing as a standard crown in the usa. In fact as someone in the business, I would suggest dental standards in the USA are lower than in many other countries. For instance pfm crowns still allow nickel in the USA which is banned in European countries. Most good crowns offered in Thailand are monolith zirconia. Meaning they are just a solid lump of fancy glass. These are good. And offered in the usa. Zirconia coping layered in porcelain are nicer looking in my opinion, but it really depends on the tooth involved. Emax is also considered more aesthetic in appearance, and bonds to tissue better But in most cases, except perhaps front teeth, the monolithic zirconia is quite adequate.

I wonder how they will police this? Tax all income coming into the country? If I bring it in through ATM or Western union, how will they know?

My wife gets the munchies before bedtime, and brings a dish of somtum into the bedroom before she can sleep. The remains sit on the bedside table all night often......

This is not new news. It all happened on the 31 Aug - 6 September. (2023) The snatched over 5,000 pounds from my account, and after phone calls and filling in an online form they have now agreed to send the money, that went into a central fund, into my designated branch in another UK bank. Yes, they did send me a notification, but who reads all those 'be careful of scam' messages they send? ????

It's not where you are, it's what you do!

You'll easily know, because when you put it in the machine to go in to the platform it lights up on the machine so that staff can see that you are claiming a discount

How long is a piece of string? Depends on cover.

Your Thai driving license is in English so you don't need an international one. However they do issue one if you ever needed it. You don't in Australia.

Yes me too last week. They haven't given a discount for holding a Thai driving license for many years now.

1st of August today, and I went to make my usual monthly payments. Krungsri is insisting on a selfie before I can make a payment, KTB authorized the first payment, and then refused others, although they did accept one or two small ones. Then I couldn't pay anything with Kasikorn because I'd already transferred it into the other bank accounts which weren't paying out! I had heard that selfies were coming in, although I understand that foreigners can't always get recognized without a Thai ID card. Does anyone knowledgeable have a comprehensive list of requirements for each bank?

I tried that. It didn't work.

Public holiday week? The queue for the ferry will go on for miles. You don't actually say where you are based.

If you're going on about morals, are you one of the many men who are helping the poor prostitutes of this country financially? With no thought for yourself of course..... Morals are biassed depending on what you are preaching.

It's waterfalls and hot springs that get me most. Recently I went to a hot spring in Chiang Mai area. Apart from hot smelly water there was no beauty to this site. I refused to pay, and we went off to a 'free' waterfall for a nice lunch.

Yes well..... It's just a lot of gas.

Been to the ATM? I AM the ATM..........

I'm probably wrong, but I thought the policy of all condominiums was 'No Pets'. But some bend the rules always. There's a yappy dog in my friends condo, but the Management ignore it's existence.

Yes. If I can. As I already said - principals over practicalities.....

Any recommendations for debt collectors in the Bangkok region? Lawyers and the court seem to be ineffective as the person concerned keeps dodging the bullet by changing address.. Before the sarcastic comments start, yes - I've been in Thailand 20 years, and know loans are considered gifts if they aren't backed up with a chanote or similar guarantee. I was prepared to lose this small loan, as I was helping them over a very difficult covid time (I have a signed contract). It wasn't big, but they now have a job and can afford to repay it. It was the way they walked away from the agreement that annoyed me..... Principals over practicalities in this instance.

Insurance has limits. It sounds like this claim would be way betond a normal holiday policy. Hiw do so many tourists have these crazy balcony accidents? Alcohol or drugs?

Interesting.... But I don't believe it...... I used to live in Nakhon Rat.

Interested to know why Barra is number 2. Must be because of the cows wandering across it at low tide.....

Same happened to me at CW recently. New British paaport came through surprisingly fast. Only problem was they forgot to transfer my re-entry visa to the new passport, so i have to carry them both with me till September when i get my new one.... They apologised. But didnt want to bother doing it properly so late in the afternoon.....

It's everybody had grown up they wouldn't need to apply these controls in the first place.

I would assume the shop took a copy of the sellers ID card?
