  1. and telephone company, Store loyalty cards, etc. Do the phone before the bank, if you use online banking!
  2. What's a cymbal tube?
  3. 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!
  4. ..... 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?
  5. 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)
  6. "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?

    I have always found this guy to be good, and honest. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ByNX7Z5L9Ss3DrSJ8?g_st=ac
  8. 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"!
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. It's to be a dog pound, for the strays of Pattaya.
  12. 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!

    This guy is very good..... and honest! He honours his guarantee. https://maps.app.goo.gl/5yYwGQQhJy5ZNHAo9
  14. 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.
  15. What a load of utter bull droppings. Have they nothing more useful to do?
  16. 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?
  17. 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
  18. So, the Russian bear growls, and the World cowers in fear. Surely the answer is to shoot the bear before it attacks....not during or after? Where is 007 when you need him?
  19. Worth looking in MrDIY.
