I agree about chasing them down, so after I took a few deep breaths and reminded myself that this is Thailand, I just pulled off and went on my merry way,

I was driving on a main road when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a driver pulled out of a side road, not stopping to look both ways to see if their was any cars coming from both directions. Luckily I was able to drastically swerve to the right side of the main road that I was driving on and just barely avoided from crashing into the imbecile who had pulled out without not looking before the driver entered the main road. I was livid and beeped my horn as the driver tried to speed away. I caught up to this car and was beeping my horn and the car was trying to make a fast get away. At some point I turned off and just muttered something about driving in Thailand amongst blithering idiots who should not be allowed to drive in Thailand. My question is what experience or situation did anyone have which required drastic evasive measures or skill to avoid becoming another victim or statistic because of a blooming idiot who had no business being behind the wheel of a vehicle?

I walk around my house at night with a flashlight and a fly swatter and a long pole and I play a game with them. Sometimes I win and can make them fall to the ground where I can crush them, and other times the buggers scammer off with their neat disappearance techniques and I lose. I have finally eradicated many but still hunt for the remaining miscreants at night. I just got tired of them <deleted>ting all over the inside of the house. It has become kinda fun and I can can go to battle with them each night.

My wifes sister has been using Coffee DENE Detoks for more then 5 years and it cleans her out. I am using it and it takes awhile for it to kick in, but when it does, can you say exploding a--hole. The listed ingredients on the package are non- dairy creamer 48%,instant coffee 22%,fiber 14%, white kidney bean extract 4%,collagen 3.5%, psyllium husk 3.5%, garcinia 2%, Tamarind extract powder 2%, rosella extract powder 0.9 % and sucralose 0.1 %. I don't think it is a laxative but with my shi- luck .......?

I guess I could have gone to the Tax Revenue Dept to obtain my tax id # but opted to pay my accountant in Bangkok to get one for me. It wasn't expensive and saved me the hassle of having to travel to Bangkok to get my tax id #. I was referring to, if and when, retirees are going to have to start filing a thai tax return as part of the process to determine whether one has to pay income taxes to Thailand for income either brought into Thailand or for retirees total worldwide income. There is currently an ongoing push to tax retirees who live in Thailand for more then 180 days.

Seeing as how their is a good possibility foreigners residing in Thailand for more then 180 days will have to do a thai tax return for their personal income and investments, do you think it is important to obtain a tax id # now? If this proposal to tax foreigners income and investments is passed and comes into law, their will be a mad dash by 1000's of expats to obtain a tax id # in order to comply with the thai tax Revenue Dept regulations and requirements to file a thai tax return. If one does obtain a tax id now and this tax scheme is not passed, then so be it, and one will be out a few thousand baht for obtaining a tax id now. But, if an expat waits to see if the tax proposal is eventually passed into law, then one will have to get into the queue, along with 1000's of other expats, in order to apply and obtain a thai tax id # from the thai Revenue Dept should the tax proposal be passed into law. As they say in Thailand up to you.

I have been using the Avira free virus protection offering for several years and in the past, if I had an issue with their program, I could just uninstall it and then reinstall it again. This time I could not update my virus protection nor run a scan on my laptop. Avira has made it virtually impossible to either repair or uninstall my virus protection software which is currently installed on my laptop. You can't contact support unless you now have a license key which would necessitate you having to take out a paid subscription with them. They have a support bot which is worthless and in reading some other postings in their chat room, other folks who were using the free version are also having the same issue of not being able to uninstall the free version from their computer. The replies from Avira to the posters in the chat room are basically, tough luck, you need a license key to contact support and they have radically changed the process to force someone to have to pay for a subscription. I just want to uninstall my free version but when ever I attempt it, it says you can't and to contact support which puts you in a never ending loop. Any suggestions on what I can do to successfully uninstall my free version of Avira form my laptop.?

The Great liberal society. You reap what you sow.

They must find this sick, demented creature, chop off his member, and then throw him in a thai prison and let the inmates have a field day with him.

No I never filed a report with the FTC. Do you think it is a worthwhile endeavor and what exactly does it entail and what benefits, if any, are derived from filing a report with them? You have piqued my curiosity. P.S. Several years ago someone tried to fraudulently try and take out a credit card in my name but, fortunately, since my credit was frozen, I was contacted by one of the credit agencies to ask if this was me. I told them no and thus the scammer was unable to proceed with the application.

I am not overly concerned since I put a credit freeze on all 3 credit monitoring agencies. I use to pay for a credit monitoring service but in reviewing my free credit monitoring service provided by my bank, it was basically the same setup as the one I had been paying for. I have taken steps to ensure my financials were strengthened and safeguards are in place which I am comfortable with. A lot of my info which was found in the dark web is no longer valid and I changed all my passwords. Nothing is 100 per cent foolproof but I contacted my financial institutions and am satisfied with arrangements I made with them. It is important to never click on an email you receive until you are sure it is legitimate and never divulge any info to anyone. If need be I will contact the appropriate agency, if need be. I periodically check my credit reports and just remain vigilant, but don't get crazed since literally hundreds of millions, if not billions of other individuals and businesses have had their personal info hacked also. It is, unfortunately, a reality of life and no one is safe with all the countless agencies and companies being hacked by unscrupulous entities. You just have to be proactive and take necessary steps to ensure you are relatively safe from all the scammers looking to scam you.

Don't know about Lopburi but if you want monkeys, come to Prachuap Khiri Khan( the city) where there are literally 100's an 100's of monkeys swarming all around monkey mountain and the surrounding roads.I f you visit now there is a big festival going on until Sept 23, 2024. But if it is monkeys you want they are in Prachuap Khiri Khan in HUGE numbers.

Hi - I sent you a message about rental info in PKK.

It looks like I will have to contact the social security office in the Philippines in order to request a direct deposit fraud prevention block since I was recently informed that my ssn and d.o.b. were found on the dark web. Since I have never tried to contact this office before, can someone please give me the ph# and/or their email so I can contact them. Also, I understand it can be frustrating to finally talk to someone there so if anyone has in fact contacted them can you inform me when is the best time to call them or what are their hours of operation. Thank you for your assistance to this frustrating and stressful situation.
