  1. I'd better be careful or I might have to cough up 150 baht next time!
  2. The new tourist tout: 'Come to Thailand and watch us lock up Miss Universe' (and you too if you say the wrong thing) That'll bring em in for sure.
  3. So wait....the actual value of the bag is almost 350,000 baht and she had no qualms about paying 70K baht to bring it in ? As crazy as it seems....even crazier to own a 350,000 baht bag
  4. For USA this is a blank Affidavit: You fill out...do not sign until in presence of office at window...basically you are just stating your address in Thailand and they are certifying that you swore to them this is your address. 1500 baht at embassy blank-affidavit.pdf
  5. I know one lady (mother of GF)....i'll drop a dime on her for 10,000 baht but not less than that....a man has got expenses
  6. I don't know about this...there are always going to be some in any society that don't conform...I was in Central Westgate yesterday and they had lines snaking across 3 floors for vaccinations...the most I have ever seen queuing up....I think people are definitely willing except for a small minority that exists everywhere...it's just that Thailand is used to seeing 99.99 % conformist behavior among it's befuddled populace controlled thru religion and 'other' institutions. Maybe it's a good sign that Thai people are showing the same kind of independence and challenge to authority that is the hallmark of all true democracies.
  7. Offline dating is less convenient, you actually need to leave your sofa and talk to people
  8. "Mayom" tree or English name Star Gooseberry. Ours grew 4 meters in one year...but it's ugly...I only keep it due to GF saying it has cultural good luck significance to plant in your garden
  9. Next time you go in for open heart surgery...I hope the surgeon and nurses don't follow your advice...cough, cough
  10. paying in cash your first mistake, Bank transfer is the only way to go....your bank transaction log is your receipt
  11. Because in 2 years they have increased the insurance requirements for not only original Visa applications but also for all in-country extensions whilst leaving O visa retirement holders alone. They seem to believe (erroneously) that OA visa holders are somehow responsible for all the trouble foreigners cause with unpaid bills and present a greater risk than any other visa class. In may serve as a warning that when money in the bank requirements are also increased, they will also hit OA visa holders (or originators) first and perhaps again leaving O visa holders unscathed.
  12. Obviously she needs to see a doctor ! I know the ThaiVisa LED TV, electricity and water pump experts can eventually diagnose her but seriously...get her to a medical facility now !
  13. Why didn't you have the proper certificate with you ? What did you present to them at first ?
  14. Yeah we used old baseball cards or cards from a poker deck.
  15. No...it is .5% on 6000000 that's 30,000 baht Some countries (USA for example) tax lottery winnings...so if you cash the ticket...you get stiffed by home country tax. But Thai lottery not considered income and no such tax.
  16. Not true if you use the app...my transactions still show...how are you attempting to view them ?
  17. I have read that boosters are indeed being planned for. For 2 SinoVac jabs a 3rd booster of AZ already being distributed. For 2 AZ shots the plan is 6 months after 2nd shot to schedule booster...not sure what brand will be used.
  18. Yes...taxis from that location really should not be an issue, especially because you have major hotels all around you there.
  19. Perhaps if your bike made less annoying (and pointless) noise, they would treat you better ?
  20. I don't use Bolt, perhaps someone else can chime in
  21. Now they sell t-shirts that just say "dont shoot me"
