As a crypto skeptic I got in before the Wall St boys ,with their future crypto eft's entered the investment picture. I was lucky to make a little money and managed to bail before crypto tanked. I can see parallels between crypto and the precious metals market where the big boys from Wall st are manipulating the markets through various means such as paper contracts.

     As far as I am concerened its a whole different ballgame, and although some lucky folks who got onboard the crypto train long before the big boys entered the picture and made a small fortune, I think this gig is up. I keep hearing about cycles and maybe it will come to fruition at some point and the crypto enthusiasts who are championing their cause will ride this new wave to vast sums of riches.

I need a US ph# so I can get calls from folks in the US. Someone tried to explain to me about google voice but I couldn't understand how to set it up to receive calls. I am not tech savy. Are their any relatively easy ways to get a US ph# ?  Right now any calls to the US, I use skype to call someone and the person who I speak to emails me if they want me to call them.

I am checking to see if anyone has any first hand info about a surgeon named Dr Krittaya U-wichian who does surgery at Nang Rong Hospital in Nang Rong. Any dealings with him and what was the outcome would help me make a good decision as to how best to proceed. Thanks

I used marijuana as a young adult and found it intensified my neurosis and exacerbated my anxiety issues. After the initial anxiety ordeal I was very relaxed. I would like to try and find some medical marijuana that has just a small amount of THC to see if it will help my anxiety issue. I have tried CBD but it did nothing for me, as well as a couple of teas infused with marijuana which didn't do anything either to relieve my anxiety. Are their any marijuana products for sale that only have a small amount of THC in it, and if so, where can I purchase it, either online or at a store?  Thanks for any advice.

Does an unvaccinated US citizen need to  get tested for covid upon arrival in the US from Thailand? Also, does an unvaccinated US citizen need to get a covid test either before departing for Thailand from the US or upon arrival in Thailand?

I was able to log into my email account on my laptop but could not delete the new emails or move them into folders if need be. I contacted a tech person for my email account and he had me first click on new private window which I did. This enabled me to delete emails. He said to go to settings and navigate to privacy and security and then scroll down and clear cookies and site data which I did. I also scrolled down and cleared history and then closed my browser.This solved my problem.

     The big question I have is each time I go to my email account to check my emails, when I am finished I always run CCleaner, I am wondering why this didn't clear out my cookies and history so as to not encounter the problem I had with my  email account and, as stated previously, was fixed by going to settings and clearing cookies and site data as well as history? Any suggestions or explanation for why utilizing CCleaner each time didn't clean out my  laptop would be appreciated. If CCleaner doesn't work maybe I should stop using it each time I check my emails.

I am in need of an adjustment to my neck and am looking at trying to find a chiropractor or osteopath in the Buriram area. I guess I could  travel to Korat if there was one there. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident awhile ago with a young motorcyclist. I was approaching a 4 way intersection and put mu turn signal on and turned left. After turning left I was driving and then suddenly a young motorcyclist who was riding too fast rammed into the side of my vehicle. I was pretty shook up and myself and my wife had to go to the Police station. My wife called the insurance agent and he arrived about 30 mins later at the Police station. He did his thing and actually did a great job to get my vehicle repaired in a timely fashion. Fortunately the young motorcyclist who had been transported by ambulance to the local hospital was alright and appeared at the Police station about an hour later.

     My wife told me that the insurance agent said it was the motorcyclist's fault but I received a letter from my insurance company stating my renewal premium for next year is going up. It said I had 1 charged at fault claim. I called my insurance company and spoke to someone who said that evidently the police had said that it was both of our faults for the accident which I disagree with. I had no discussions at the police station after the accident since I don't speak thai and thought it best to let the insurance agent handle things.

     I am thinking that most likely the  insurance company knows the motorcyclist has insufficient insurance so therefore if I am assigned partly to blame they can go after me to recoup their payout by increasing my renewal premium. If I was in the wrong I would have no problem whatsoever with having to incur a premium increase but feel that since I was not at fault with this accident I am trying to find out if I have any recourse. I am not going to go  crazy over this but if there is something I could possibly do to try and rectify this situation I would try it.  If anyone knows any ways to try an achieve this outcome I would be appreciative of any constructive advice. If I have to eventually bite the bullet, so to speak, and just accept this is Thailand, the I am also prepared to do that also.

I am going to be turning 70 yrs old and it looks like my current auto insurance company only will cover you until 70. Therefore I would appreciate any recommendations for another auto insurance company in Thailand.  Thank you

I might need to have a friend named as my P.O.A. for my financial affairs in the U.S. and need to find out the correct procedure, Would I have to get the P.O.A. form filled out and signed by me and my signature notarized and then have the form mailed to my friend in the U.S. to have her sign it and have her signature notarized?  If I need my signature notarized can I get it done somewhere in Thailand besides the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok or the U.S Consulate Office in Chiang Mai?  I am currently residing in the Buriram area in Isaan. Any info would be appreciated.

Airalee- Nice response from a puerile brain. Make yourself useful and go get your booster  shot or 2.

A bail-in, unlike a bail-out, enables banks in the U.S. to take depositors funds and you might ultimately get paid back on cents to the dollar during bankruptcy or insolvency  proceedings.

Can thai banks, in the event of a major disruption or melt down in the economy, implement bank bail-ins, similar to what U.S. banks can do with their depositors funds on deposit in their institutions? If so is there any threshold amount before the bail-ins can be introduced?

My thai wife is a saint to put up with me and my B.S.  I feel very fortunate to have met a woman who is very strong, very smart , very understanding and very supportive.

Never due to the nature of the beast.

The global elites depopulation agenda is kicking in.

Is 1500 baht the general going rate to have your trucks oil and oil filter changed?

I hope he gets the sh-- kicked out of him while in prison. Killing your mom is about as low as it gets in my book.

Longball thanks for the info. Much appreciated

Does anyone know the currency rate for the baht for the end of year tax reporting requirement for FBAR?

I don't need for my visa renewal but would like to buy a covid-19 insurance policy.

Can anyone recommend a covid-19 insurance policy for 1 year. Ideally it would cover asymptomatic coverage.  I am currently residing in Thailand full-time on a retirement visa. Thanks for any info.

Neeram-What do you know about counterfeiting of stable value coins and do you foresee this as a problem with purchases of crypto currencies using the counterfeit stable coins?

Now that a bitcoin futures ETF is opening on the US exchange and other Bitcoin ETF are going to be approved by the SEC do you think the big financial players will be able to rig the price of bitcoin with their paper contracts which they have been successfully doing with the precious metals market to keep the price of precious metals suppressed through paper contract manipulation?
