I am looking in to buying an SUV when I finally sell my house in BKK. My shortlist is Ford Everest (not worried about resale), and Toyota Fortuner (not sure between Leader and Legender). I like that the specs for Ford are the same as in the west, unlike Toyota whose specs are much lower than in Europe for the same model.

What about a Ford Everest Titanium 2.0 bi-turbo? There are both 4x2 and 4x4 models. More fuel efficient than the 3.0.

Coming through the arrivals this morning, the e-gates wouldn't work for me. Apparently, this was due to booking my air tickets using my British passport resulting in my boarding passes being linked to the same. As such, I had to have an immigration officer handle the entry and she asked as to which passport I'd used to buy my tickets. When told I'd used my British passport, she asked to see the same, but stamped my arrival in my Thai passport.

Exactly my problem too.

Many years ago I was staying on a raft/bungalow which was moored at the river bank and had it's electricity supplied from the owners house. It had been raining and as I walked around the raft and grabbed the corrugated roofing I got a massive shock which sent me flying for a short distance. Luckily, there was a fence around the raft which saved me from ending up in the river. I was stunned for quite a while.

So "he" (the author) is still hetro cause she's still actually a woman and her girlfriend is actually a bloke in a dress, while his/her (the author's) husband is actually gay because "she's" still a bloke whose girlfriend is actually another man in a dress, or does that make him bi. No wonder their kid is confused. I'm confused as f@%k.

I just checked mine, and I am listed as below, but then I only retired a few days ago and haven't reported that to the Social Security Office yet, and in any case I will be covered for a further 6 months, before switching over to the 30 Baht scheme. It is strange though that you are still listed as an alien. You may need to update your information, but not sure how you would go about that. สิทธิประกันสุขภาพทั้งหมดของท่าน :สิทธิประกันสังคม สิทธิที่เข้ารับบริการ :สิทธิเบิกกองทุนประกันสังคม (ผู้ประกันตน)

The woosh you and Mildred heard was probably a rocket. Up to the end of June, there were still a few Bun Bangfai events (rocket festivals to bring on the rain) going on and kids were able to buy rockets. 20240609_160010.mp4

I don't think he'll be able to get hard enough for that to work.

Interesting. Thanks.

My first live-in girlfriend was a nightmare, and even to this day do not know why I hung around with her so long. She bottled me, knifed me (twice), plant potted me and ashtrayed me. I only did the runner when she was arrested and locked up (for theft). I was in my early 20's and very green.

Honest question for you here. Many years ago there were very few rubber plantations in the northeast in Thailand, but that started changing in the late seventies and eighties, until by 2015 the number of plantations in this area had increased considerably. They were not only replacing existing forests, but also barren land and agricultural land. Has this had a positive impact on the local climate? Certainly had a severe impact on mosquito infestation, but that is a separate issue.

When my wife was sick, she went to her home hospital upcountry and got a referral to a hospital in Bangkok due to her living in Bangkok. After that first referral, there were no issues and she did not need to change her house registration from upcountry to Bangkok. This is going back about 13 years ago.

Save on electricity. 😉

Well that didn't last long. He's been kicked out by a vote of 12 to 0. Hope he shares all his deep dark secrets now.

Big Joke has got too much dirt on "people of influence".

Over here in Kalasin, I have seen many people use lemon grass instead of vetiver grass to stop soil/land erosion. Probably because it is cheaper and easier to source.

Probably thought of this new scheme as a get out of jail card. The royalists, oligarchs and military will forgive him if he can put a stop to MFP, the reason he was allowed back in the first place.

The National Health Security Office website provides all the information you will need about this scheme and avenues to register. But you'll need to use the Thai language version as the English version is very limited in the information it provides. (https://www.nhso.go.th/home)

Word games? Really? You stated "Ok - so what about the Immigration laws that allow a foreign woman married to a Thai man to have a path to citizenship but not a foreign man married to a Thai woman? ". You made no mention of marriage being the sole criteria so how the hell were we supposed to interpret your post in the way you have just clarified.

Take your ID card and House Registration to the hospital which serves your area and register. Going forward, you will only need to present your ID card. If you are living in Bangkok, you can check the health center which serves your address (it may not necessarily be a "hospital"). For example, the health center serving Sukhumvit 101 was the Wat Thathong Health Center near Ekamai. Up country it is a bit easier as it is going to be pretty much always the nearest government hospital or health center (mine is about 500 meters from my home). You cannot just walk in to any gov't hospital for care unless it is an emergency such as an accident. If you have a serious issue that your health center can't help with, they will give you a referral to the nearest gov't center that can provide the required treatment. You should not just turn up at a government hospital of "your" choice for the treatment you want, unless you are willing to pay. You should obtain the necessary referral first.

Congratulations.

Funny that. Foreign men can apply for Thai citizenship based on marriage to Thai women, provided they are employed and meet other criteria. The law changed in 2008.

Farage is a self serving dick who'd say anything if it would help line his pockets. Having said that, he'd whup Starmer and Sunak in a debate. I agree with many of the items in the Reform manifesto, just wish the party wasn't associated with this bell-end.
