Best way to self-pay for operation
If you have a Wise account, get a debit card, real or virtual, and set up a baht account. Convert the estimated required amount and leave it there until needed. Come the day of reckoning, use the Wise card, rest assured if you check the bill carefully... and I mean carefully.... the actual total will come out thousands less than estimated. 40k less in the case of my back op., once overcharges and false entries were deducted!

I am very cheesed off.......
..... with AN. Formerly, I would get my email, click on a topic, and there it would be in my browser, in full, followed by all your insightful comments. Now, I just get the article. To see the comments, I have to click a blue button at the bottom, and the whole article then reloads with the comments attached. Formerly, to go back to the email newsletter I would click my < < button. Now I have to click it twice, because it goes back to the sanitised? censored? emasculated? version first. I put in a compliant via the "report" function, and did not get the courtesy of an acknowledgement. Am I alone, crying in the wilderness, or do enough of you care to vote for restitution to the old way?

Scientists warn earth near irreversible “hothouse” state
Gaia moves in mysterious ways to protect herself. There are simply too many people in the world. Strategy one: get them to stop breeding. (doesn't work) Strategy two: kill off as many as possible with a pandemic (didn't work) Strategy three: get them to destroy themselves (it's probably going to work) Strategy four: Cook the lot of them (it's working, but awfully slow oven)

China Eases Travel: British Tourists Set for Visa-Free Visits!
"While there's no official start date, hopes are high that the changes will roll out pronto. With the UK finally catching up to 50 other nations, including France and Japan, the announcement could soon benefit a whopping 620,000 British travelers expected in China by 2024." Really?

Online 90 day report after change of passport - Jomtien
To do TM30 online you must register as "housemaster", which can be owner, usufructee, or long-term tenant. If you are named in a tabien baan (house book, blue or yellow), or hold a pink card, you can be housemaster, and can do TM30 online for yourself, other residents, and visitors. I am not sure whether the tabien baan bit is necessary if you can prove that you are the de-facto housemaster, but you could open a can of worms if you are "working"!

Online 90 day report after change of passport - Jomtien
Further to my earlier post, when we got our new passports I immediately did new online TM30s and put printed receipts in the passports when I did the first 90days reports. No issues were raised.

Online 90 day report after change of passport - Jomtien
My wife and I have not left Thailand since new passports, August 2024. First 90 days, had to attend Jomtien with both passports: but not necessarily attached to owner! Second, tried online, hers went through, mine did not. Third, and onwards, no problems with online, very efficient.

Coldplay Concert Video Leaves HR Executive Branded Unemployable
Who? What? Where? When? Why? I have never heard of these people, organisations, whatever. Nor do I care who did what to who or why, or the consequences thereof. It's not news, it's gossip, aka drivel. Good god, it's not even Donald's fault!

Foreigners Suspected Behind Cambodian Bomber Drone Attacks
Yes.

Foreigners Suspected Behind Cambodian Bomber Drone Attacks
Technically this is wrong. In "aviation speak", "over" means "I have finished speaking and expect a reply", and "out" means "I have finished speaking and do not expect a reply". To use both is unclear, contradictory, and not approved.

Minister Pitches Disneyland-Scale Park & 80,000-Seat Stadium
Pattaya still hasn't managed to complete it's stadium, 15? years on! It must have generated more than it's share of brown envelopes by now. Why would this be any different?

A look at the Pattaya Firework festival, were you there ?
SWMBO and I were lucky enough to be invited to view the whole event from a boat in the bay. We were as near to the launch barge as possible without being bombed by the debris! Just as well we don't suffer from mal de mer. VID_20251129_194654.mp4
