For me, it isn't the delivery boy that is the problem, it is the food! Just poor value. i don't bother anymore!

That depends as much on you as it does about the women and another culture. If you transfer your philosophy of life that you have demonstrated on this forum, it is likely you are in for disappointment - wherever you go!

Two main items on here today. I think there should be a permanent tape all around Pattaya with the message, "Crime Scene".

So, to cut a long story short, you are not interested in anything new, you are even bored with the things you like, including your girlfriend. (have you told her that?). Looks like you and Bob Smith should get along fine with your mutual boredom.

And not released until he has paid for the difference in seat prices.

With my last Life Certificate from UK the covering letter stated that 16 weeks from date of that letter, until receiving the returned Life Certificate duly completed was allowed for the whole thing to be considered a done thing. I am surprised for such an important matter that no urgency is placed on postage from UK to Thailand and thus I have experienced seven weeks to receive here but I always return it with Registered post that automatically involves tracking. The Office dealing with these matters are prepared to exchange emails so why don't they send an alert message by email that a life certificate is in the post?

I will be signing up tomorrow. Everything good with me including a 6 hour trial to familiarise with the system

Bear with me for a few hours today. I have a couple more questions to ask of him about my devices - will get back to you. I am feeling good about his fast, friendly and informative responses so far.

I have contacted Eric already, if it's any help I can let you know if I decided to go with it!

Millions of UFO's flying oround in the sky. Are they pies or pigs?

You don't have to kill, just go to a little trouble and make them yourself from many videos on YouTube with recipes of the "genuine article". Yes, they are made from processed ingredients but your health will not suffer from the odd indulgence! And don't forget the Colmans mustard! You will be telling us next, you like faggots and peas!!

And when we do cook, why doesn't anybody seem to want any vegetables? Restaurants everywhere rarely serve any worthwhile vegetables so I rarely go out to them. When i cook meals, 90% of the time there are at least three vegetables, some I buy a frozen and some I buy in quantity, blanche them and freeze in one an two servings bags., then when I use them, empty a bag into a pan of boiling water and simmer for about five minutes and done. I have a basic plan relating to my diet including the shopping and it works!

A business Plan is what you write AFTER you have researched everything including establishing if there is room in the market

I think he means, two lines of entry: two descriptions and two correlating amounts of money

There are so many things you can try before medication. Go to YouTube, watch a few videos with real Doctors, read some of the comments and choose the things you would like to try. For example, Special but simple breathing techniques, Apple cider vinegar (with the "Mother" is best) Acid reflux also has a symptom of heartburn that might scare some as chest pain involving an actual heart problem. In any event, always consult with your Doctor.

SOME people with chronic conditions can benefit without medication by a change of diet, but it is NOT good advice in this forum as if that is the answer to everybody's health problems.

So do I believe your opinion, rather than the bank that told me as a fact! In any case, what is wrong with an organisation wanting to save on its costs to which I imagine you think will be to your automatic detriment!

Just a point: The App isn't new; my App was installed by SCB a few months ago when I bought a new phone (for other reasons), and was pronounced as being the one to use when I visited the bank yesterday. I am unable to answer the problem you are having but it won't be if they do it for you!

I have now returned from my trip to the SCB The main points to note: Internet banking with SCB remains. In my case I already had the dedicated app on my phone, without realising it, and they confirmed that this is already good to go in spite of other thoughts I had of something new needing to be installed! Only one device can have the APP installed. After 14th July I will be unable to use my PC for doing Internet stuff with my two accounts. (as per only one device and no direct Internet service). It turns out that I am virtually unaffected as I can do all I want with the App on my phone; Important to realise is that the "SCB Easy" route was direct to their website on the Internet using Browsers that make it more likely of accounts being compromised. I am reassured that the changes are for the benefit of Customers. This is their reason for the sole use of the dedicated App that is more secure! Others have mentioned of having to sign a Disclaimer and or maybe involving facial recognition re more than B50,000 transfers. Not even mentioned to me! I have seen on the forum that a few people don't have a mobile phone but I am sure this is a minority. Yes, I understand that this is not so good for them. I think it is possible other banks will follow suit! One other observation: One of my Accounts is in Udon Thani, that one receiving my Government and private pension for the last 14 years so didn't want that account to be difficult to access with any new arrangement. I haven't had an ATM card or a Bank book for seven years. If Internet banking ceased with SCB, it would have been very inconvenient to transfer to other accounts. The second was opened in Chiang Mai and that I use for regular banking activities with a new card and bank book issued at my local branch in Lampang. I mention this as some Members might have accounts in different Provinces from their residences and believing problem could arise as I know often they do in this scenario.

Thank you, Richard, I will refer that point to them when I visit!

In the next few days, I will be going to SCB branch with my Thai wife to ensure that after 14 July when the current system stops, I will be able to make transfers from my two accounts with them to wherever I choose from my PC and my phone, using the Internet!

And probably no Surveyor to observe such failings, prior to purchase - a prerequisite to obtain any kind of official loan - at least in UK

I have lived in Chiang Mai "Province" off and on for ten years; Doi Saket, Mae Rim, Sarapee and Sanpatong. In the countryside; the City within easy reach with plenty of transport, except after dark it seems! Never have I been remotely affected by the smog, that I acknowledge is there. Chiang Mai, is not like many countries second cities and certainly has a character that I know and like. Yes, the traffic has got worse but that is the case everywhere I can think of! Businesses come and go, restaurants change hands often that allows for the variation in experiences. Things hardly ever remain the same - some good, some not so good. I first lived in Chiang Mai area 20 years ago and when had been there for about three weeks I was asking those who had been there for a few years and I recall them saying, yes, it is nice here but not as good as the past! In some ways, now, I would say something similar. Some people wouldn't like Chiang Mai and many choose Pattaya for example, but certainly not me! If I became single again, Chiang Mai would be one of my first places to move to.

Such a profound topic! Sometimes I don't wear underwear or socks during the day at home! Have I no shame?

This NOT good advice!
