  1. Of course you should take it all...and then some! Never know with these nitwits. Better to be prepared for whatever possible flaming hoops they may throw at you.
  2. Soon The Trifecta of Family Fugitives❗
  3. Yeah me too. I opened mine BBK on Sukhumvit Nana area with only a 30-day visa exempt stamp...but the year was 2000. Things have changed since then.
  4. Apps are great. And secure. Far easier, faster, more intuitive and convenient. C'mon Wise Ole Owl, time to flap yo-self into the 21st Century.
  5. Teflon Thailand and it's Bulletproof Baht. For myriad reasons, the THB is an amazingly strong and resilient currency. Somehow, some way it just powers on. Not that an over-strong THB is necessarily a good thing, but it's certainly good for certain people. Personally, I think THB strength is fueled by greed at the top and the near "slave-labor" wages paid to the vast majority of Thai workers. The ultra-low labor costs here do not reflect in the prices any longer, as almost everything here is equally priced, or even more expensive, than other countries which pay all their employees, at every level, considerably more.
  6. Most tourists are here for one thing...and it ain't dining.
  7. They are. So do you. Real character comes when inflated ego allows admitting and accepting it. ????
  8. Call it whatever you want, but no matter how one spins, slices or dices...We always pay for it and they always get paid for it. One way or another.
  9. Well yes, unlivable sub-poverty level wages for most of the the middle class on down is enviable...for companies, corporations and upper echelon. Not so much for the proletariat.
  10. 2023 and still pandering to absurd, idiotic beliefs and ignorance.
  11. Totally agree. And what it is, is Teflon Thailand and it's Bulletproof Baht. Coups, unstable and inept leadership, political unrest, demonstrations, airport and major intersection closures for days, drought, floods, near total Covidiocy economy shutdown and on and on. Teflon and Bulletproof.
  12. Seriously⁉️ Where u been❓
  13. Teflon Thailand is the perfect moniker and spot on. I coined the term "Bulletproof Baht" many years ago, referring to the same thing. Henceforth it's "Teflon Thailand and it's Bulletproof Baht" for me❗????
  14. Yup...those "god-thingys" are ???????? too❗????
  15. Nobody gets it. It's total ???????? cuz there's no such thing. Life is hazardous and random. Regardless how seemingly deserving or undeserving...bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad. No cosmic or divine justice. Only random events which affect random people in random and myriad ways. Nature and the universe don't give a flip about any of us.
  16. Or...just an extremely overdue action that is finally being reimplemented. Should have been changed back long ago...but better late than never, I guess.
  17. Watched the final game. Sides were mostly evenly matched, but Thailand was the better squad overall and deserved the win. Well done on defending the championship????❗
  18. Don't know if ridiculous short stay reporting is still "required" any longer or not. But regardless, why do everything "by the (silly) book"? NO one will ever know, nor care. I travel all around Thailand and visit/stay for days and even weeks with foreign and Thai friends/relatives and no one ever reports me. No one knows or cares about it. It's ridiculous to worry yourself over such a stupid, unnecessary and invasive rule over a weekend. If they were moving in permanently...that would be a different story. Enjoy your weekend!
  19. If DIY Last Will...where does one take it to be filed or registered when it's complete? Like where would one take it in Jomtien or Pattaya? Thx.
  20. Besides the shorter bill and narrower eyestripe is the all-black nape of Common. Greater has some white back there.
  21. Choice❗Post of the thread❗
  22. OK! Then that is a fair price for sure and we'll worth it. ????
  23. Why not take a Bolt or even Grab? Prob cheaper or close...and even if more spendy, get door to door service. Stopped taking those airport busses more than a decade ago when they became more pricey than a metered Taxi, especially if 2 people traveling together.
