    Similar amount for mine...$5.21. Told my US address caretaker to shred it. Not worth the time or expense sending here.

    Faux News. We BS and deride❗ Lost whatever credibility it had 15 years ago. Hopefully the hammer comes down hard on Murdoch and his looney band of fraudsters.

    Has happened to me a couple times. Strange...but it's better than ordering a specific brand of clothing of a specific color...then getting a different brand and the wrong color. That's happened multiple times. At least the size and style were correct.

    No, he's not. He's coreect. They (Jomtien) want the "bank letter" @DrJack54 defined perfectly. They scrutinize every page of the bankbook(s) for the past 12 months AND want copies of those pages, proving the account had the proper funds at all times during the past year. If they are not satisfied, they will send you back to the bank to order a detailed 12-month account statement.

    There are no "exactlys" in Thailand, but as the others have stated previously...2 before and 3 after. Don't cut it so close that you need to find out it means "exactly". There are rogue offices and officers that don't know, care, follow the "exact" rules...or just make them up on a whim.

    The rules are...there ain't no rules. Inconsistent, random and arbitrary from province to province at best and even officer to officer at the same office at worst. It's simply astounding how they just seem to come up with endless new nonsense, even after thinking heard it all by now. NOPE. They are never at a loss for silliness.

    Haven't ever needed a map at Jomtien. At CW Bangkok, yes...but not Jomtien.

    Typical Thai male-tale.

    Dip-????. Total whackjob Trumpster up Trump's buttster. Belongs in prison and not only because the crooked former Corrupter-In-Chief con-man gave him a get out of jail free card. Both get the red card.

    As Bill Maher so perfectly described the "person" whom is the topic of this thread... "He's everything wrong with human beings, all stuffed into one person". 'Nuff said.

    La-za-DA!

    Haha❗ Gotcha ????

    Fitting name. This would be tragic if impatient disregard for any and all wasn't so common and prevalent here. Always in such a rush. Always taking unnecessary risks to save 5-10 seconds. And worst of it...always putting themselves, and especially others, at risk of life or limb.

    FYI to anyone interested and for accuracy...previously this bird was called "Indian Roller" (Coracias benghalensis) here in Thailand and I like that common name better, but that is no longer correct. It's been determined they are 2 separate species. So for about 5 years now, it's Indochinese Roller (Coracias affinis) found in Thailand, not Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis) which is found throughout India. See range map below.

    Sounds more like a Blue Rock Thrush.

    Indochinese Roller.

    Now that I'd love to see❗???? ????

    Everything used to be dirt cheap here. Nowadays...not so much. Healthcare was previously cheap here too, even at the private hospitals, but that was going back prior to at least a decade ago. Imagine it still may be if one is willing to go to a government hospital, but do some homework and try to find a quality one. Have heard stories from foreigners and Thais alike of ineptitude and apathy at many of these places.

    They're not. Sorry you had a bad experience, but I've had 4 different dentists over 25 years...2 in BKK and 2 in Pattaya...and all have been excellent and very affordable. Quality work at great prices, all. Agreed. ????

    Google Translate has much improved over the years. It's quite good and best for free. While some avoid Google anything and everything for myriad reasons, I use Google everything for everything and find it all awesome. Search, Translate, Photos and especially Maps. Directions in Maps while walking or driving is fab and essential when navigating unfamiliar territory.
