Fishi will be on a private plane back to American home the day after the GE.

This is just the dying phase of the Nasty Party trying to appeal to their lowest base in the desperate hope they can hang on to power and continue stuffing their pockets.

What a charmer.

Thai smile
I was talking about being given a price of 10,000 and suddenly being told it’s 37,000. I had specs made in Cambodia at a fraction of the prices in Thailand with no loss of quality but I get mine done back home far cheaper than here.

You definitely need those glasses, they saw you coming but you didn’t see them.

Foreign Currency Deposit Bank Account.
I looked into this a few years back and the endless fees made it pointless (for me). Every transaction whether in or out incurred a fee.

You might want to rephrase that. 😜

Rabies and immunoglobulin
My friend was accidentally nipped while feeding a Soi dog we know well and the tooth went into the nail cuticle. He went to the Red Cross in BKK the next day and was given immunoglobulin plus the first of 5 injections over a period of about a month. I decided to get vaccinated too because it’s just 2 injections a few weeks apart and it covers you for life. Should you get bitten it’s just a single booster shot. The Red Cross are amazing and very inexpensive.

Because some of us have knowledge which I realise from your other responses to peoples posts is kinda hard for you to grasp.

buying the cheapest possible condo in a thai slum just to get a yellow book
With a work permit perhaps, try getting one if you don’t work. Personally I had no issues getting 5 different banks, but that was quite some time ago. The landscape is very different now.

How does Bali compare to Pattaya or Phuket
Why?

What’s that got to do with the fact that for the 30 years the OP was talking about, the rules have changed an infinite number of times?

30 years of changing rules

Helpful. I must remember to ask you next time I’m planning a trip somewhere.

Recommended agents to open a bank account in Bangkok?
I wonder why you felt the need to be so insulting. Your need for attention? Some people like to simply things for themselves, if you don’t that’s your business.

A legal way to get sell rate at kbank for your euros instead of their buy rate ?
You can send under 1m out of Thailand without any questions as many times as you like.

Chinese tourists still prefer Thailand despite visa exemptions
Make your bloody minds up, either they’re coming or they’re not, but it can’t be both.

Bangkok ranked 9th in 2023 best cities for expats, down from 6th last year
These rankings are always based on expats living expat lifestyles. I don’t (well rarely) eat in western restaurants, buy imported foods or try to emulate the lifestyle I had back home.

British Man Arrested after Dropping Gun in Rawai Nightclub
That’s probably the reason the bigots left the uk in the first place. To go and be an immigrant in a foreign country!

China’s Embassy calls on Thai media to censor its coverage of Taiwan to protect relationships
China, the bastion of human rights. China is always the first to condemn interference in Chinese affairs, it’s also the first to tell other countries what to do. I have a few choice words…but I’ll keep them to myself 😂

Managing forum toxicity and negativity
Admins have more control than moderators. But the biggest issue I have with moderators is more to do with putting the time into the group that’s needed and which parts of the work they do. Thinking about the power thing, occasionally they just need to be reigned in a bit. It happens but it’s rare.

Managing forum toxicity and negativity
I admin on a political FB group of 26k members. The first people to get thrown out are the attention seekers. They contribute nothing

Unhinged And Unclothed Russian Man Arrested for Violent Rampage in North Pattaya
I’m sure he was just celebrating his free visa and sharing the love.

Coffee pod machine.
I won’t get into which is the best system, it’s about how you want your coffee. I love my coffee but I like it made in different ways depending what I fancy at the time so I have at least half a dozen types of coffee makers from Vietnamese drip filters to an Italian Pavoni. My pod machine is a Nespresso. I don’t use it that often and I bring my pods back when I go back home so I don’t pay Thai prices. In many countries you can recycle Nespresso pods at their stores but don’t know about here. I also have reusable pods.
