Best App for English to Thai Translation
Thailand J replied to looplaw's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Google translate is good enough for me. I like the translation from picture or camera function. -
Lets say you found a bag or wallet
Thailand J replied to Sparktrader's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Last weekend I found a lady's handbag at Lotus's parking lot, with a large amount of cash. On my way to the police station I changed my mind, made a u-turn,went back to wait for the owner and gave it back. I did not have a chance to count the money but the owner said it was 200,000B, plus another small stack of euro currency. She claimed there were 3 phones I only saw 2. Her passport and ID were also in the bag. When It's not ym money i don't want it. -

Permethrin 1% is to treat lice, 5% is to treat scabies. If you cant get 5% Permethrin , try Benzyl Benzoate, 40B for 30ml on Lazada.

At 62 my question is what to sell. I am fully invested, mostly in broad market index funds. I keep very low cash, BRK/B is my "cash account", meaning instead of keeping cash, I put about 10% into BRK/B and sell whenever I need cash. The last time I sold it was at $277 per share, today it is $295. My cost basis is $103 or so. If I have money to invest I'll still put it into index funds. Market timing is very difficult, but it is a no-brainer to buy in a bear market. Latest forecast from Factset, S&P 500 will go up 18.9% in 12 months.

Starting Social Security benefits

There is no minimum and no service charge. The card reads are in front of the cash registers, where you insert your card to pay. The cashiers do not handle your card. It's a safe, convenient and fast way to pay.

The give of love that keeps on giving. Don't worry, it's manageable. Take acyclovir with L-lysine. Expect 2-3 outbreak a year on average. During an outbreak, stay away from the " crime scenes". You dont want to give it to anyone and open sore may invite more unpleasant guests. I hope the a vaccine or cure will come soon. Looks promising on the mRNA researches.

Every 2-3 years i needed ear wax removal. At Bangkok Hospital ear wax removal was 2000-3000B. Dr Apichai 500-600B per ear. I hated going to see Dr Apichai, the small waiting area was congested. Now I use Hydrogen Peroxide. Just pour it into my ears, the bubble tingling will stop and use some tissue paper to clean up the exterior. There is no need to be 100% clean as long as I can hear fine.

LTR Visa. How many qualify?
Thailand J replied to Robin's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I am certainly qualified, but I don't find any of the benefits enticing, and the insurance clause sticks out. I'll stay with 800k retirement ext. -
USA Passport Renewal Service Available in Pattaya
Thailand J replied to Jingthing's topic in Pattaya
don't get too excited about the service, which I think is nothing but just secretarial service: fill in a form, get the photo ready, prepare for mailing. I would prefer to do it myself. In January I mailed my passport to BKK embassy, got it back in the mail with a certified copy for SSA record updating. Passport renewal should be about the same , may be add a photo, a standard form , plus payment. I don"t need help. -
may be? https://goo.gl/maps/g22aU1PtJWG6fYBC9

My fav site to download subs: https://subscene.com/ Rename the sub to match the movie name except the last extension and it should work. ex: My.Cousin.Vinny.1992.mp4 My.Cousin.Vinny.1992.srt There are sites or apps which you can download to edit subs. You can also combine two subtitle files, for example an English and a Thai sub file to show together.

I have enjoyed free wires from Vanguard for decades by keeping a high balance. I also get my wire fees waived at Schwab, this may be standard for all international brokerage accounts. My first wire of the month is also free at Interactive Brokers. My very old wire transfer set up at Vanguard has HSBC as intermediary but lately they have been using Chase instead. Meanwhile Schwab has switched from Chase to Wells Fargo. Vanguard will take 2 or 3 days longer to send the money as the settlement fund is kept in a money market fund. Schwab and IBKR both came with a bank account where the settlement fund is kept and can be wired right away.
