  1. Similar situation on a recent Non Imm OA E-Visa application. I uploaded my passport data page to prove that i am entitled to apply for the Visa in the USA. This worked in my case.
  2. Hence the words "Could be". Misdemeanors generally require a citizens arrest for prosecution. Also, it is not "pressing charges". it is request to have the suspect prosecuted for violating sections 240 and 242 of the California Penal Code(Assault and Battery).
  3. Misdemeanor in California is maximum 1 year but likely no jail time no in most cases. Money compensation only if one is sued in Civil Court.
  4. SHA only means it was inspected to Covid standards. Most hotels display this sticker. Eliminate the word "Reasonable" when reviewing anything related to Covid and Thailand. How much does a RT-PCR cost in your county right now? The cost of an RT-PCR test in Thailand is slightly less than most western countries. Gather as much information as you can before coming to Thailand.
  5. Could you imagine? No way. The Academy has no ah "Balls". Will Smith will keep his Oscar and his friends will support him. Chris Rock gets assaulted and Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry check on Will Smith. Could anyone imagine the protests that would erupt if a mostly white and old Academy enforces it's own rule against a Black Best Actor winner when only 20 Black actors/actresses have ever won Oscors in it's long history. In the end Will Smith was defending the honor of his wife. That's the story he should stick too and offer Chris Smith a financial settlement to make it go away. How many on TV have actually seen King Richard? The only Academy nominated movie I saw was Dune.
  6. Never felt like a Duck with Agoda. All the relevant information is available to review before booking. The price difference between a one night regular stay and one night Test and Go stay is outrageous. I have seen some offers of 900 Baht for a regular stay go to over 5,000 with the Test and Go Package. The PCR test alone could be 3,000 Baht.
  7. I just found one for under 4000 in late April This includes the RT-PCR test, Airport Van and meals.

  8. Wow, he was not kidding. If Chris Smith was actually slapped or punched if could be an Assault and Battery under California Penal Code Sections 240 and 242. In the end he won Best Actor.
  9. A one night, RT-PCR test and Hotel pickup could not be 1,500 baht. Also, if you look carefully the hotels that offer the full Test and Go package can be in the range of 4,000 to 5,500 Baht. I do not like to give a hotel my banking information as well. Can you make another booking with Agoda for the full Test and Go package. I have used Agoda 3 times in the last 14 months when I entered Thailand and each package clearly listed the RT-PCR tests, hotel pickup and 3 meals.
  10. I say spend on what you can afford or want to. As an American a good burger is something I can't live without. There are some good burger places in Chiang Mai but it is hit and miss. I just thought others would appreciate another burger option that is within the high end of the price range. I have had some really awful burgers in Chiang Mai and on this particular day it was a pleasant surprise. Even at over $10. I was in Los Angeles last month and $10 barely covers lunch in most places. "Be Curious, Not Judgemental," Ted Lasso.
  11. I try and buy from her at least once or twice a week. Pleasant lady and always a genuine warm smile. In the past the entire street had vendors and a good coffee shop. Many of the vendors are gone and the coffee shop closed a long time ago. I hope at least Miss Ya and her friends can stay around.
  12. I had one in CNX last year. 1. The Gastroenterologist who I have seen before did the procedure. 2. The consultation fee was included in the package 3. The medication(a PPI) the doctor recommended was included in the package. I did not require any further treatment. 4. I paid 39,000 Baht for a combo endoscopy/colonoscopy. I would shop around.
  13. I have walked by the Kiwi Smash Burger located at 14 Nimman Soi 9 many times and never thought about going in. I rarely see anyone eating inside. Today I decided what the heck I'll give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The hamburgers are all named after major world cities. I tried the Los Angeles Cheeseburger and it was really good. The meat was high quality and best of all the burger bun was soft and spongy. The only other place that had burger buns like this was at In N Out burgers in the USA. Overall it was the best burger I have had in Chiang Mai(others will disagree). The downside was the cost. It was 349 Baht for the burger, fires(these were good as well) and a Coke. If you are like me and need a cheeseburger once in a while and don't the mind price then this give this place a try.
  14. I just bought some Bananas from her today. She is still there but just like the photo. Really feel for her. I first saw her selling bananas in the same spot in 2017. She is like a warrior(out there in the heat and rain). I hope she continues.
  15. 250? At a simple barber shop probably. But at a salon probably not. I was in Los Angeles last month and a simple haircut at barber shop was $18(about 600 Baht) so I won't complain about the cost of a haircut in LOS.
  16. So the appropriate place to adjudicate a 35 year old accusation is the confirmation hearing for a Supreme Court Nominee. I am not equivocating. In the end Supreme Court Confirmation hearings usually turn political. Anyone recall the hearing for Bork, Thomas, and Garland? In the end it is a done deal: 50-50+VP Tie breaker.
  17. Oh, I got it . Only the Republicans can be "nutters and slimey". So the confirmation hearing for Kavanaugh was civil and not "slimey"? I would agree about Cruz(he is weird) but I would disagree about Josh Hawley. Of course Chick Schumer is always objective and fair? Also, Elizabeth Warren has been the model of consistency and objectivity?
  18. Which Republican Senators are "right wing nutters"? Then are the Democrat Senators who questioned Kavanagh "left wing nutters"? So far this confirmation hearings appears to be civil(so far?).
  19. This is just Kabuki Theater. 50 Democrats, 50 Republican and of course VP Kamala(tie breaker). The end.
  20. It is still a major live sporting event. Also, it is not Yankee Doodle Dandy Football it simply American Football.
  21. For comparison I was in Los Angeles and looked at Super Bowl tickets. The cheapest seats were going for over $1,000 (over 33,000 Baht) and parking was even a bigger ripoff at only $400. This is the growing trend for live major sporting events. The average guy or girl can no longer afford it.
  22. You can go to Airport Plaza when it opens and take the elevator.
  23. Went this morning to Airport Plaza for the Pfizer booster. I got the first two injections in Los Angeles and it has been more than 6 months since my second injection. Overall the process went smoothly. I read some Thai and understand a little more. But a few foreigners disrupted the flow of events by cutting in line and asking where do I go? Even if you do no read Thai the process was clear if you just stand back watch people go through the steps. The process went like this: 1. Go to the desk in the hallway with your passport, vax documentation and request what you want(1st does, 2nd dose or a booster) 2. The worker at this desk will look over your passport and paperwork and give you a form to complete 3. Wait at the chairs until an employee at the computer station is free to assist you. 4. You will then be registered or your past registration will be confirmed. 5. You are then given a printout with QR code which states which vaccine you will receive(Pfizer, Moderna or Astra Zeneca) 6. Wait at the chairs designated for the specific type of vaccine you will receive. 7. You will be called to get injected 8. After being injected you must wait and be observed for 30 minutes. Your checkout time will be noted by the young lady at the desk. The entire process took 60 minutes but this included the mandatory 30 minute observation. It would have been less time except for the disruption in the process caused by some foreigners. I truly appreciate the fact that I was able to get a booster shot at no expense and was able to do it on a walk-in basis. Chigng Mai Health operates this process smoothly.
  24. No sir. Have been to the Kabul Embassy several times. It was very nice on the inside. Close to the airport and Masoud Circle. Big gym and small convenience store that sold beer and wine. The living quarters were apartments that had blast walsl on the balcony. Of course since September 1 ,2021 it is vacant or the Taliban is having Thursday night parties with young boys dancing(yes this actually happens in A-stan).
  25. "Go to Bangkok Bank at Kad Suan Kaew branch, they have handled many retiree cases like yours. I am not sure whether they can accept your rental agreement without residence cert but you can try first." If one is still on a Tourist Visa it could be a problem. I opened my Bangkok Bank account at this location 6 years ago but I was on a Non OA. . It is worth a try at the KSK branch and ask for Jakarin Sutjarritrak Tel 053-225465-7 Ext 1302. He works the new accounts desk, speaks excellent English and has always been very helpful.
