  1. I was there today. A sign is posted in Thai on the front door. The sign is only in Thai but there is map of a Bangkok Bank Branch near Thanin(?) Market. I was told by a bank employee that I can go there when this branch closes. She did say I can handle all banking matters at any Bangkok Bank Branch(we shall see about that). I do not plan on going to the Thanin Branch.
  2. I had to do this as port of my OA Visa application back in January. I kept it (KISS-Keep It Simple Stupid.); I stood in front of a mirror while holding my passport data page against my face and took a selfie. I saved it as a JPEG file and uploaded it onto the E-Visa site. It was accepted and the Visa was approved a few days later. Just take a simple selfie while the passport data page, save it and upload it.
  3. So Immigration Bank letters will be provided at the Thanin Market Branch only or at any Bangkok Bank Branch? I was just told any location will help you?
  4. I shower twice a day and once at the gym. Is there a prize for this?
  5. Yeah it's me. I am repulsive but I am generous. But what does that matter?
  6. I have been living fulltime in LOS for almost 7 years and have given up on trying to understand Thai woman. When I first arrived my apartment complex had three woman and a ladyboy in the office. The ladyboy was the most beautiful. very friendly and most attentive. The three women in the office could care less when I went to the office. But the Ladyboy always greeted me with a smile and was always attentive. I thought this was different but based upon my experience if you want affection and passion the last place to look might be a Thai woman. Every Thai woman, no matter the age, that I have dated never expressed any kind of warmth or affection. Even when we were alone. Thai people generally do not express affection in public but I thought it would be different in private. But I was wrong. The Thai women i have dated are pleasant, polite but "there was no fire". I have learned not to expect western style affection or passion from a Thai woman. The only really passion I have felt from a Thai woman has been anger. This is my experience only and for others it will be different. What do I know? I'm just another old dude living in LOS who still can't understand Thai People(especially the women). I just try and get along with everyone(sometimes I fail but mostly I get along just fine).
  7. The human mouth is a filthy place. I once arrested a woman who bit her husband. She went to jail and the husband had to spend the night in the hospital. I thought the ER doctor was kidding when he said "it might be better to be bitten by a dog". Ah, memories.
  8. It looks serious because they are now packing up the wine and spirits at Tops. Oh well Tops was not having a going out of business sale on wine. Bata, the show store had sign that said "70 % Sale". So far no official word from Bangkok Bank Logically, of course this does not apply in LOS, the nearest Bangkok Bank branch is on Nimman and all accounts should be move there?????
  9. I am trying to understand Thai women This may take a long time.
  10. This is the income requirement part: Those in the high-income earner bracket must have an average annual income of US$80,000 for two years before applying for the visa. Notice $80,000 USD per year or equivalent not in Baht(I have seen a news article that states Baht and this is incorrect). My annual retirement is close but I do not qualify for this visa. Thinking logically(this does not always apply in LOS) someone who makes $80,000 per would have many options in terms of Visa’s and even countries. Now I will take off my logic cap off.
  11. Just left KSK and i have never seen so many cars and people there. I guess there are some going out business sales? The selection of milk at Tops was pretty thin. My guess the end is near and no need to order more inventory.
  12. I know a lot of foreigners who go to KSK almost everyday just for coffee, pastry and spend hours there. Unlike the new malls KSK has a lot of tables where one can just sit and have a coffee. The bottom level where Tops is located is still rather busy with the DQ,, Amazon Coffee and other food vendors. It will be a shame for the theses businesses to close. I will really miss the Eve Laser Print shop(this is where many get copies and documents printed). Once a place like this closes “temporarily” it is doubtful they will come back(unless a new owner is willing to invest a lot of money to modernize it?). RIP and it looks like Maya and Rimping will now be my regular place.
  13. In the beginning the claim was made by many in the former administration that the vaccine would prevent infection. But now it protects against severe illness. This is expected because this is a new virus and much still needs to be learned. But lockdowns, closing schools, zoom calls and forever masking are not the answer. These are the things that Fauci has pushed for again and again.
  14. Fauci is the director of the NIH. Doubt he has much contact with anyone except his staff. He probably spends a lot of time in staff meetings, zoom calls and in the past on TV and radio.
  15. I agree. Cheapest wine I could find today was 375(Australian), I was considering a bottle of Coppola Vineyards(California) red but at 1400 baht a bottle I had settle for the cheaper stuff. A glass wine with anything makes for a great day.
  16. Constantly looking behind while at ATM machines(I am American, grew up in Los Angeles and just can’t let this habit go, even though I am in LOS). Also, double checking to see if my wallet is there and double checking to make sure my door is locked. Again, as an American who grew up in Los Angeles this was considered normal.
  17. Ditto. No one should be demonized or threatened. But it appears Fauci was the face of the "Shut it down" strategy.
  18. So what? He is the face of the Covid response in the US. He has had two booster shots. He has been the God of masking. He has not tested positive. Sounds like a mixed message? This is what? Do you have anything to add?
  19. Anthony Fauci tested positive. He has two booster shots.
  20. Cannot be 100% sure but so far no indicators of any files being corrupted or infected. Also, no indications of any accounts being comprised or hacked. One can never be completely sure of anything.
  21. I got virus through a USB Stick file transfer process(I will never do it again), I have a Windows computer and the only solution I found was a Factory Reset without deleting my files.
  22. Sure. This guy too. He is just a little north of Seoul. He was in a little movie called The Eternals.
  23. I thought the new strategy was to attract wealthy foreignersI have come into contact with wealthy people and they are more likely attracted to cocaine than marijuana(this based upon my professional experience of arresting people for narcotics offenses). Now if a certain amount of cocaine was legal to purchase and consume without consequences than this might open the floodgates.
  24. Does anyone have experience at Maharaj Hospital?
