Yes. The executor will have to go through probate twice. There is no way around that. A Thai court has no juristiction over U.S. assets, and vice a versa. I would ignore those websites that want your address for online Wills. I found an abundance of free ones. Usually they show you a portion for example. Take that and plagerize it. Lawyers are everywhere on Youtube and walk you through the processes for free.

They did this to my home town in San Jose, California. They stripped a car lane and gave it to bicycles. I have never seen a single bike in the newly created bike lane. But now the cars are backed up for multiple blocks. Thailand and the world... Please stop voting for them.

I believe Trump wants to do it, but I don't believe it is a serious priority for Congress or Trump. They will forget about it quickly. We are a small few suffering from taxation without representation. We are the lowest of their priority list.

I am a U.S. citizen living in Thailand, and I have studied this extensively. One cannot make a Will that covers all assets in all countries. The courts in each country will not recognize any part of the Will that discusses assets in a foreign country. So, finding a lawyer to do all that for you would be a difficult task. You need a separate Will for each country in which your assets reside. Fear not. Writing a Will that is legal in the U.S. for assets in the U.S. is so simple, why would you pay for a lawyer unless you needed to draft something like a "Living Trust" which requires a little more work. Google it, Youtube it, and you will find that Wills can be written by hand on a piece of scrap paper if you want. There are an abundance of "Will templates" online. Many are free. As for a Will in Thailand. As mentioned, it can only cover your assets in Thailand. It MUST be written in Thai language, but you can include an English translation, which is a good idea. There are a few requirements for Thai Wills which must be adhered to but nothing difficult (e.g., must identify the executor, etc.). You can pay big money for a lawyer which is what I did the first time, then I learned how easy it was, and did all my revisions myself. And take caution. When I trusted the Thai law firm to write my Will in Thai language, they used low-level admins to write it. Then I went to a second translation service and found many incorrect translations.

I am nearly your age and just started TRT in Bangkok. There is an abundance of clinics to help you and get you started. Just Google it. Pulse Clinic is a popular chain brand, also Medconsult offers treatment, and Transcend Clinic is focused on it. But prices vary largely depening on the initial screening package they offer. As it was told to me, the reason some initial screening packages can be costly is because the doctor needs to understand your overall bloodwork to see what are the causes of your low TRT. In my case, I get regular health checkups already, so I already know I am healthy. Therefore, I chose the screening package at Transcend Clinic, which was great value and cheaper than the other brands. My T levels were so low, there was no downside to trying it. I have no regrets. The results are amazing. I recommend you follow a regular monthly testing program offered by the clinics until you know what your dosage and frequency needs to be. Then, you can decrease the blood testing and find a clinic that will help you do your own injections at home, with occasional blood tests. There are also, pills, creams, etc. available if that is what you want. I was happy with Transcend Clinic because the doctor provided all options to me, we review the lab report together, and let me decide what to do without pushing me in any direction.

I see this all the time at every supermarkets and big box stores. If I am not a member, and the clerk can make a few points, who cares.

I worked amongst educated Thai men for 19 years. You understand this culture perfectly. They say exactly the same thing.

Move. Even if you complain, they will just pretend to help with politeness and smiles. You are the foreigner. You have no power, no rights. I had the same problem. I moved and now live in a beautiful, quiet, neighborhood.

You have an issue with your landlord. ...he believes that since he wrote the lease, the lease is unenforceable in the courts because he has over-riding control since it is his property. I think that is what you are trying to say.

It doesn't taste the same as it does in the U.S. That's why it failed; chicken is dry, stale, and over-cooked. KFC is not the same as the U.S. either. And for the same reasons, KFC should have failed by now. Both are trying to accomodate local tastes. I must applaud McDonald's for their commitment to maintian the same flavors no matter where you buy their burgers in the world.

I bought the cheapest one I could find on Lazada. It doesn't have all the electronic bells and whistles, but who cares. It is a slow cooker. Set the temp and walk away.

Thanks. I just moved and True wouldn't offer me the "Gold" or "Platinum". Although my old room still has it. . For new installation, I was only offered the TrueID with NOW app packages. This is downtown Bangkok.

I just upgraded my True connections after moving to a new condo. All the old stuff is gone. They offer now what they call TrueID for internet (basically an internet box with a few basic Thai language "live TV" channels and some random Thai movies). You can upgrade and pay for more Thai channels if you want. But if you want the old TrueVisions "Gold Package" or "Platinum Package", those are gone. You must download an App called "NOW" on your Smart TV, they pay the mega-premium for something inferior to what was available before. Immediately I noticed language settings were not remembered...everytime you change the channel, you must set the language to English again. And also, many of the English movie channels do not support Thai language subtitles anymore. Try sitting with your Thai loved one watching a movie in English and she cannot read the subtitles anymore.

I used to travel for work a lot and filled up passports frequently. For VISAs to other countries, hand over both the old and the new passport to Immigration when entering. Show them the VISA page. Immigration doesn't care...even entering China. For your Thailand VISA, take both passports to Immigration and they will transfer the stamp for you.

Frying oil goes back into an empty oil bottle. When full, it goes in the general garbage gin. Bacon fat gets collected in an empty yogurt container. Adds great flavor to country gravy.
