1) DoorDash 2) Grub Hub will take over delivery. Last week I went to a Dominos in So Cal and there two employees in the place. One guy was putting the Pizza into the oven and the girl was answering the phones and dealing with customers. I called the local Dominos number and got a call center in Manila. “Unintended Consequences”? Fewer employees at each location but of course they are now making $20 dollars while doing the work of 2 people. This is called the thinking of people who never run a business.

Not old enough. At least not yet. I got the “free shot” last year at CVS and they did not accept PC.

So you have an annual AiS tourist SIM card?

I just arrived back in Los Angeles and went to my local CVS pharmacy and asked about the updated Covid 19 Vaccine. It is free if your health insurance plan is in the CVS network. Well because I have Pacific Cross health insurance it is obviously not in the CVS network. I declined to pay. So I guess the days of the free Covid Vaccine in the US is over. This could one of the reasons that fewer are lining up to jabbed.

So it is not “unlimited”. I pay 1176 per month for unlimited data(4G and sometimes 5G speeds) and 700 minutes of talk with True. Normal speeds on this plan averages 100 mbps and once I got 500 Mbps.

So you’’re paying 125 Baht a month for unlimited Data and talk? What kind of speeds are you getting?

So it's not like a Southern American accent? How does a foreigner actually become fluent in this language?

I am in CNX and most of the time the reaction has been laughter(like laughing at me). I can never get the tonal inflection right on many Thai words. So now I speak mostly English. I guess the only way to master the Thai language would be to spend months in a small town or village where English is not spoken. Did not have this problem learning Korean. I even studied Dari and Arabic and most understood what I was saying. But as always "TIT".

I would not be happy:

In this case Ram was the closest and Ram’s location was in the Grab app. He felt it was urgent to get to the closest hospital as soon as possible.

One of my neighbors had cardiac arrest symptoms years ago. He knew a heart attack was imminent and called a Grab and went to Ram. Grab was there in 5 minutes and 5 minutes to Ram. He is still with us but the total bill came to 40,000 Baht(he has never had insurance). Of course the first thing he did after being discharged was to buy a pack of cigarettes at 7-11.

I would agree too. Also, I saw a lot of Tesla's in Seoul but they could only be driven in the wide roads. I saw one trying maneuver into a small side street in Itaewon and it was not pretty. Once BYD or MG EV's are sold in the US it will disrupt the Tesla monopoly. Many cannot afford a Tesla but an EV at $25,000 is possible for many.

James Thompson?

She had to join a Korean group to achieve fame and success. What if she had never left Buriram? She is an example of Korean Soft Power.

1) I can’t recall besides Thailand where Thai Music, movies or TV shows are in high demand. 2) Copying the “Korean Wave” or Hallyu sounds like a good idea but “TIT”. The only thing that has true global appeal is Thai Food. 3) Has anyone ever purchased “Thai Fashion” outside of Thailand? 4) Stick to what is known globally: Thai Tourism which is appealing to many in the world because “Thailand is a cheap place to visit for a short time or a long time”. Philippines has won the OFW (Overseas Foreign Worker) race Vietnam is now selling Electric Vehicles in the US( The VinFast and it looks awful). No need for Thai produced EV’s. Korea won the “Soft Power” battle many years ago and I doubt it can be duplicated.

It was a documentary I saw online about 10 years ago. I believe the Airman was with OSI. Let me see if the documentary is still available or not.

No. Either is acceptable. I just chose the FBI fingerprint check.

The US Air Force had a transgender member deploy to Afghanistan about 10 years ago. A separate bathrooms and shower had to be built just to accommodate this one member. As I recall this member was born female but serving as a male. Not surprised and more to come. “Killing the enemy and blowing things up that need to be blown up” This was the actual purpose of having a military but times have changed.

Kantary Hills hotel in Nimman has a Christmas Dinner Buffet for 1500 Baht per person. Dec 24 from 600 PM.

A new/old idea for soberiing up: Jail Cell.

Depending on many factors(such as body weight, drinking while eating and if one is an alcoholic or not) the time needed to “sober” up can vary. For many if one is over the legal limit for driving (in many cases .08 BAC) if can take up to 8 hours or more. “TIT”? Does logic or even common sense ever factorin decision making?

I got one two years ago. Digital Fingerprints submitted at a Print/Notary type place at 200 PM and the results were emailed to me in two hours. I got the FBI fingerprint background check and it was $47 dollars. It should be the same for a California DOJ check. There are two main companies that provide this service.

#1 Yes #2. Agree with you and I have been with Pacific Cross for years and the last time I up loaded the insurance document from Pac Cross(page 2 was in Thai) and the consulate still wanted the Foreign Insurance Document? Pac Cross was nice enough to complete this document for me. "TIT".

This looks like Singapore Airlines?

Fly from Thailand to LAX twice a year. The 7 hour limit is the problem. Have flown the following routes over the years. 1. BKK-SIN-LAX. BKK to SIN is about 3 hours but the SIN to LAX can be 17 hours nontstop or a two hour stop in NRT(NRT to LAX is 10 hours) 2. BKK-HKG-LAX (BKK to HKG is under 7 hours) 3. BKK-TPE-LAX and this is similar to #2 4. BKK-ICN-LAX. BKK to ICN is 5 hours and then 10 hours to LAX i can only recommend paying for Premium Economy or go reallly big and pay for Business. The cheapest Business Class on this route is usually PAL with a stop in Manila. Of course the experience on PAL can vary.
