1. Can I visit any DLT office to renew my 5-year license or must I use the closest office to my residence in Bangkok? I live in Bangkok, but the online appointments near me require a 2 month wait. I will be out of the country then and need the renewal before that. Nonthaburi office has openings next month. Will they accept me? 2. If I cannot get an appointment by next month, does the DLT still accept walk-in renewals? Thanks much.

This seems to be the trend for modern affluent countries. Thailand has become part of that trend because of their economical growth in recent years. Unfortunately, those countries in the world with exponential birth rate growth (fill in the blank) are still out of control. I hope this means Thailand will re-evaluate the importance of foreigner's in their economy, such as it was back in the 1990's, when foreigner's experience and talent were worth a lot of money.

I think people joke about it because they don't understand the impact it puts on our privacy and freedoms. In China it is almost always cashless now. They always pay with Wechat. If the world gets to that point, then you will no longer have control over your money. It will always be monitored and your spending will be monitored and analyzed and judged by a central government. Say you don't care? You will care when they block your bank account for some stupid reason.

If you live in a condo building you will never eradicate them, you can only reduce their persistance. They are infested in all the pipes. I tried all the remedies, including bleach into the drains. I found that boiling water into the drain once a week did as much a good job as other chemicals.

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.
