The official is correct. I check in at Jomtien and this man is very good.....I have left the country and do the 90 day check from the date of the re-entry.

I like Yorkies pies...pretty tasty in my opinion.

Usually only a sarong.

Google Chrome started to open another browser page...I use google...I could not change it and google chrome said they could not determine what my browser was...this went on for several days & I kept trying to change the browser then google chrome put up a message I should download malicious software removal...and gave a link...I clicked...it appeared and immediately went to work...suddenly everything worked just fine.

A few years back I purchased a ticket on EVA with my credit card which was in the US..I was in Thailand. When I went to the airport they refused my ticket as I only had the old expired card...I paid cash at the check-in counter...my reserved seats were OK...Later I called the airline & they refunded the credit card charge.

Now I am going to fly next month...no credit card. A friend in the US charged the flight to his card...he filled out a form & supposedly it will work.

I was told by Chnburi Immigration that the extension of the retirement visa does NOT count as a 90 day report...they are different things.

Facebook went down here in Huay Yai, south of Pattaya....it just came back...

I live in a somewhat rural setting...We opted not to do a well..we have two large cisterns which we fill off the village source...when the village stops pumping & we run dry (once or twice a year) we buy water.. I also have two catchments for rain water.

Out here in Huay Yai, I have stuffed up nose & an ongoing headache.....Some of the locals have the same symptoms

The government vet on Third Road by the fire company does cat spaying for 300 baht, they also can do home appointments. I'm sure if your wife explains the situation they can offer a discount.

Thank you. I had no idea there was a govt. vet. Do you know if they do the same for dogs? It is on Third Road?....I can't picture the fire company?

Thank you very much.

Skype works just fine for me to make & receive video calls from abroad...I use the free version which means both parties must use a computer...I believe to call mobiles or a landline you must pay....

we use rice oil to cook & olive oil on salads

My Thai wife tells me that her aunt's country store has beer & that the storage room behind has cases of recently purchased (before the price hike) in reserve.

Same thing in Huay Yai....sometimes it is a a few minutes other times an hour......or more.

Yes.

I'm dead so I don't give a hoot....shipping the body to the USA is waste of money...I told my wife to cook me up & serve me to our dogs...she slapped me. Burn me at the temple.

My wife has a small chicken shack out here in our semi-rural neighborhood...she has been complaining that everything costs more & resisted raising her prices...but as she makes such a small profit on the chicken pieces that she must clean, prepare that she had to raise the price or she would be losing money on each sale.

It is a year late but we just found out...my wife worked for Norman...she says he was very good man and a good boss.

I have an underground cistern. Bought a number of the premade concrete "rings" (large size). Dug a large hole, poured a cement floor, placed the rings in, then put a coating of cement 'plaster' on. I opted to have the last few rings above ground making a platform.

Installed a pump. It is working fine now for five years...water kept cool by the earth.

I have separate tanks to catch water off the roof (installed gutters).

It is very easy to make the real thing using potatoes. I've made them for decades...now my Thai wife does.

Speaking of copies & what happens to them....I went in for my 90 day report & picked up some blank 90 day report forms...At home I looked at them & on the backsides of each were copies of some guys visa stamp & the front page of his Indian passport.

About three months ago my desktop running XP started to slow down & began refusing to do more than one task at a time.

I tried all sorts of stuff. Virus scans, trash canning some recent downloads, cleaning programs...only a marginal improvement.

Then last week Windows Defender popped up saying they had a problem with something & the code for the problem was not listed at the Windows webpage. As the item was unnecessary I deleted it. Later that day Windows Defender popped up with the same thing.

I thought "what the f___!" and deleted Windows Defender.

Without having to reboot or anything my machine became a screaming multi-tasking machine.

I am happy..but...do I need the defender?
