  1. I have read on this forum over the last few years that "Super Rich" exchange outlets offer the best deals. Is that still the "GO TO" place? And I guess if it is, one changes back the unused Ringgits in the same outlet on return to Thailand. The amount I exchange will only be for two days and nights in KL in about three weeks time so not a large amount! The current rate is around B7.5 for 1 Ringgit. Thank you for this and other suggestions that may help!
  2. The calming effect of a massage to some extent is in the meditative state one is in while lying down, eyes closed, doing nothing, daydreaming, few distractions, particularly when turning off your phone! for an hour or more.
  3. Go to, ThaivisaCentre.com There are more than a thousand positive reviews online there. You don't need to actually visit their offices at all. Customers services are excellent and an email will be answered in less than a few hours.

  5. If they really wanted to enforce the "ban", this would be so easy - simply have a policeman walk up and down the Beach Road, making it obvious they mean what they say. Those same policemen could double up and observe other aspects of law enforcement. Bring back the "bobby on the beat" - if there ever was such a thing in Thailand.
  6. Guests come and go! I am not a guest, I am resident as many of us here are for many years and whatever the politics are we are subject to them and have to live with them. That entitles us to comment on them, understanding as foreigners we can't change anything in the voting process!
  7. I have been a Subscriber to Pulse TV for more than a year and in that time, I have to change twice to a New Payee and a different bank. Apart from issues I have had on my PC with streaming content with Firefox and Chrome, I asked them about the change to their bank details first time but this point was ignored. This month, it happens again. Completely new individual person with no apparent connection to Pulse TV, the business. I guess this is common to all existing Subscribers and I wonder if other Members here can shed light on the Company's legal status that brings up nothing from variously worded questions on the Internet. I think there should be at least some information to its customers regarding something as important as who we are actually paying and why the changes! Also, I find it odd, that I have to send customer services a copy of proof of payment, (and if I don't the system automatically just cuts me off when I have actually paid), rather than (him) them, that confirms payment received as every other payment I make on my phone indicates. Any transaction on my phone, in or out sends me notification of it - same as other recipients. Thank you for any observations.
  8. Thank you, but I have never been a witness, only three times since 2010 as the one needing confirmation of still living and the one receiving the form and the covering letter!
  9. Not sure what is meant by "charming" The scenery is spectacular in many parts of Thailand but I would like to introduce the aspect of the architecture and quaint little towns; interesting walks around them, with privately owned businesses, shops that are a little different from the main stuff, lovely restaurants. And of course a small matter of the locals being friendly. My brother-in-law is visiting Thailand for the first time in November and he asked me, what is the Thai architecture like? Although, I have been to many places all over Thailand, I have found that architecture amounts to temples and little else. To check this opinion I visited Google and architectural images of Thailand to discover- it is mostly about Temples. I am sure there are pockets of interesting architecture and "charm" in Thailand; I have a found a few, particularly in Songkhla, especially the "old town"
  10. have it your own way mate!
  11. It DID need an official stamp and the doctor had one!
  12. And when they receive the life certificate they say, "Oh No!, he's still alive!"
  13. I did mine in February. this year for the UK pensions Office at my local Doctors clinic - in English - did it for free! Yes a proper stamp and I watched him read every word on the form.
  14. Not "who" but what? And anyway, which one?. gods are things, not beings, they don't require a capital letter.
  15. I hadn't seen Ubon Joe on the forum recently and wondered... Joe helped me personally through PM's as well as always being amazed at his knowledge of visa affairs and noticed always being respected by just about everyone here. Thank you Joe We are all going to miss you. RIP Joe.
  16. Especially Thai ones; even the ants don't like them!
  17. It isn't what I said, that is your opinion that I do not share. I don't do drugs, I am not denying what others get from them, but I do not need them. I do not do drugs because it is also illegal. Citing what is now legal here or in America is irrelevant to my comments or this thread. Ecstasy is illegal and I have not been interested in the slightest as to their so-called benefit for those who cannot have the amount or fun they crave without them. I have owned three BMW's and I DO know what having some of the luxuries of life including, yes, plenty of fun. I don't want to hear anymore of your justification for the use of illegal drugs.
  18. I knew someone would say that so I ignore it and treat it with the contempt it deserves who has not the slightest idea of what I would be like at a party.
  19. I have never "needed" enhancers and I don't need them now. I can self-generate the feelings of fun without hallucinogenic, stimulant-inducing and of course illegal drugs. Anybody that takes them are considered by the law as drug abusers. I remind you that a girl (an otherwise healthy teenager as far as we know) has died from taking an ecstasy tablet. I do not ever drink a "few" glasses of wine, just possibly two but mostly one. My wheels run as freely as I want them to without "enhancers"
  20. When I was a teenager, I went to parties, in fact in my twenties too, but I didn't need the crutch of drugs to give me a false feeling of "fun" When it comes to drugs, I have never taken any in my entire life and from that point of view, the cynics may call me "goody goody". The dead girl was described as "fiercely independent". What does this mean? Is it someone who is stubborn, someone who doesn't take advice from anyone including parents, doesn't need anyone's help for anything? I will do what I like! The "fun" life is where one doesn't require any due diligence; can be carefree. She won't suffer anything from her death but her friends and family have to live with this tragedy for the rest of their lives - it is with them I offer my sympathies!
  21. How much actual BEER do they produce - it is all lager! And they know this and feel that calling it "lager beer" satisfies real beer drinkers. Which it doesn't!
  22. YOU were the reason they shouted - you just didn't observe it! Things like this happen for a reason that none of us here has any idea of but possibly you do! I wonder what the assistants would say if we asked them, "WHY"? I don't believe post-covid is relevant. Going for their throat next time will likely give them reason to react "unfavourably" towards your person that you will definitely observe!
  23. A sort of "shotgun wedding" One wedding and two funerals! Who can make sense of it all?
