Are you serious? Sunrise Tacos? That's got to be the worst Mexican food I ever had. If you are American and lived in the West, then you know Mexican food. Try La Monita if you want higher quality. As for steaks, best value and taste is Neil's Tavern. Someone said the steaks are frozen, but I could never never tell. Best I've ever had in Bangkok.

I used to get hugs hello and hugs goodbye from girls all the time. Unfortunately, that's all I got.

Time.

Better yet, the best advice came from a Soi 7 bar girl. "Never give your whole heart. Only give half. Save the other half for you."

Also, don't forget...

"The one who cares the least has the most control" ... or..

"In every relationship, one of you has the upper hand. Make sure it is always you"

enough said.

My experience with Thai girls has been that they are shy and dress conservative on the outside, but become sexual animals once the doors are closed. If you see sexy girls around town, it usually amounts to nothing in the bedroom. It's all show and no tell. Same with western girls and girls around the world. Remember the librarian fantasy? It's all true. Embrace their shyness and enjoy.

When I was a teenager in the U.S., I used to work in a gas station. Funny conversation with my boss:

Me: I noticed that the poor people, the Hell's Angels bikers, etc. are so generous. They give us tips, they buy gas for their friends. But the rich people that come in here complain all the time. They never tip us or share their money with anyone.

Boss: That's why they have money.

Ouch. If you excuse the pun ;-)

Where is Paolo Hospital? And if you don't mind me asking what shots did you have and how did you get an appointment?

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

Near Saphan Kwai BTS station. My shots were Hep A & B combined. Didn't need an appointment. If you've never been there before, you have to go and register, anyway. Not much English spoken there. Talk slowly.

Just had mine done at Paolo Hospital. This is a cheap hospital and its still cost me a bunch. Mostly because of the cost of the shot. Hospital service was cheap. 3 shots. About 1,500B each.

I am sure the problem is with this particular staff member. I have K-bank and always had good service. I also have accounts without debit cards. No questions asked. Friendly smiles. I only wish I could speak more Thai to the beautiful staff helping me.

Thank you all for the very helpful responses. My employer currently takes care of tax deductions on my salary, and they also do my annual Thailand income tax return. So, bank interest profits outside of my salary is new to me. There are some Fixed Deposit accounts I want to take advantage of and I didn't know how to go about it correctly. Thanks again.

Sounds like the FD accounts with no tax deduction are not available to me.

Since I have a work permit and Thailand employment income that is more than the minimum threshold, I must pay tax on my bank interest. Correct? Normally Fixed Deposit accounts automatically deduct the tax. What about the Fixed Deposit accounts that do not deduct any tax? How do I pay the Thailand tax for interested on the fixed account? Same question for standard bank account interest from a Thailand bank?

Second question. What is the best way to transfer large amount of money from one bank to another? Someone told me a cashier's check is the way to go. How do I do that? Should it be made out to my name? Or to the Bank it is getting transferred to?

Much appreciated for your help.
