I'm sure that was 'profitable'

When I moved from Bangkok to a MooBaan in Nonthaburi, I bought a nice sturdy Adult Trycycle with big shopping baskets so I could traverse the local roads and at least get some produce and small grocery items from nearby shops because I did not have a car yet. Went out one time...almost forced into a ditch adjoining a rice field by a massive horn blaring truck (barely able to fit on our narrow road here)...made it home and never took it out again. Bought a car instead....another form of danger but at least it has 6 airbags...

Interestingly enough...for the first time ever....there was a police officer trolling Central Westgate mall yesterday telling people to put on their masks. He adminished a group of high school girls sitting in one of the common areas. New initiative I guess.

Perhaps the amount of booze consumed prior to stepping into balcony ?

You may be correct..I may have mis remembered the cost..it's been awhile

If looking for budget options....a van service across the street from Central Rama 2 is 800 baht.

' he was here with another woman two weeks ago'...you left out the rest...."and he didn't leave a tip"

I find "Baht" Coin far more useful

Exactly...in fact testimony at Maxwell trial stated that servers and staff were instructed not even to look directly at Epstein while he was in the house and certainly never be so bold as to speak to him. He pretended to be Royalty...much like Andrew in the end

Yet amazingly...many of us are happy here...no need to maintain escape routes. Go with the flow....don't try to create an 'expat paradise' at a lower cost structure than your home country. Good tidings and happiness to all that leave...but happiness is intrinsic and you'll carry your troubles with you wherever you go.

I remember the days when you could report at Big C Lat Phrao Imperial World. I used to like that food court. Then they shifted to Big C Ratburana..too far out of the way ..then they reserved those spots for immigrant workers exclusively.

Ok ok..let's leave Prince Andrew out of this...

As ubinjoe stated it should..but if you have never filed 90 day you may need to do it in.person before you can begin to use online reporting

Question #3 in Thai Driver Education Course: When in accident do you first: 1) Call Insurance Company 2) Check on injured people 3) Do a runner

Is this for everyone ? I have seen this many times when people are singled out as suspicious and the bag is taken for further inspection.

Is this a meeting to discuss the importation of walkie talkies ? You might think they can sit a bit closer around a table to discuss things without having to shout across the room.

Good points...but as to inflation, the point of being invested in dividend producing stocks is to receive current income and also gain inflation protection as over the long term stocks have produced an average return of somewhere between 5 and 10% depending on portfolio allocation.

The real test for me will be the report immediately following my annual extension...that's the one that allways failed as others on the old system were still working.

While it may not be enough for you....that's probably twice as much as the typical old codger here has saved up if the fact many use agents because they don't have 800k baht to deposit for extensions is an iny indicator. With pension(s) and portfolio generating dividends...more than enough unless you are spending more than 100K baht monthly. That is about 400,000 US dollars for reference. Invested conservatively in a portfolio generating 3 % per annum: $12,000 US annually or $1000 per month After estimated 28% tax rate, that's $720 net per month or 23,000 baht monthly. Supplementing that with pension and one couold conceivably live comfortably. How much pension is the question he needs to answer....apologies if stated already but did not go back and read every post.

It's called subrogation..Google it

I don't know about Thailand but in USA insurance companies will go after you after paying the claimant

Yes....Schwab $15 flat fee per transfer initiated online which is easy to do. ATM fees refunded if you go that route.

OA Visa holders now required to purchase city name change insurance for their next extension

Yeah...my GF's mom surprised me because she was a vaccine holdout...then one day she told GF she got her shot...when GF asked what changed her mind, she simple stated that her cabal of old lady friends decided to hold out for a year until they could get Pfizer instead of SinoVac. These old birds are more up on stuff than you might think.

I wonder if these scum are invoved ? https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/watch/live-monkeys-found-stashed-in-bags-in-thailand/vi-AAU06Qh
