Living Close to Temple: What are the ADVANTAGES?
Your neighbour must be quite a melancholy guy to listen to it for 12 hours a day, lovely though it may be. On a similar vein, Deva Premal is worth listening to. Enjoy.

Thanks for that. Another 'quality poster' has joined my 'ignore user' list.

Living Close to Temple: What are the ADVANTAGES?
I don't go for this monotonous droning that monks produce. I much prefer the Gregorian chanting. (although I am not religious) Here's another religious rendering that fascinates me. Bear with it. It's fascinating, even for the none religious like me.

Let's see some evidence of that please.

Bank Letter for Immigration (Income method)
You're very likely to need Foreign Exchange Transactions (FETs) from the bank to prove to the I/O that your pension payments did, indeed come from abroad. The banks letter is standard no matter which method you use.

Thaksin Must Serve 1-Year Sentence, No More Sentence Reductions, says Wissanu
Probably not, but if your 'ordinary prisoner' were to die in custody, there would unlikely to be many questions asked. No so with this one. The chopper ride was a shrewd move IMO, just in case.

Thaksin Must Serve 1-Year Sentence, No More Sentence Reductions, says Wissanu
Parole is not a reduction in sentence. It means he will serve out his sentence on a 'long lease' as do all parolees. Although his leash might be a bit longer than your average parolee.

'Komsan claimed the accident happened due to the narrowness of the road'. Had it shrunk since the last time he used it?

How important is a routine for you
Me too and I'm quite sure, that this goes all the way to the days of 'open locker' inspections during my early training in the RAF. And I still do even now. I also have a little mutter if my wife puts my socks away in the wrong drawer, un-paired!
-
How important is a routine for you
Yes I'm in complete agreement with that. Some circles consider it to be an OCD. I don't care. I can live with that. It suits me fine and there is medical evidence in support of regular habits. Health benefits of routines

Barking debate: Viral video of pet dog in hot car ignites social media furor
In fact the very opposite. A very responsible dog owner.

Thought so.

90 day report whilst using an agent.
What exactly does this mean?

Barking debate: Viral video of pet dog in hot car ignites social media furor
How do you come to that conclusion, was it the dog who suggested that the driver leave the car's A/C set to 'dog mode' whilst she was away? PS. Please read the full article before replying.

Police visiting house 2 months after visa approved to 'recheck visa'
Ad hoc house calls by immigration are rare, but not unknown. I had an unannounced visit about 3 years ago. Just go with the flow and if you're happy that you have no issues then you've no need to be concerned. It would be good of you if you'd let us know the outcome of the visit.

Miracle escape as officer survives Yala-Bangkok train collision unharmed
From Thaiger: 'He attributed his good fortune to a coin amulet of the Lord Buddha that he wore around his neck'. (and his bad luck to his own stupidity!)

Village pack dogs
Yes I agree with you both. The urban environment is not a natural one for dogs. If dogs could speak, I'm sure they would say 'give me the country life any day'. I get your your comment about struggling to find a suitable place for your dog to 'visit the loo' @KhunLA. Dogs are, apparently quite fussy about where they like to 'go'. When they have the choice of a natural environment, they will be quite discreet. Despite the high number of dogs in our village, a dollop on the pavement is a very rare sight. Unlike buffalo!

Village pack dogs
The dogs that roam free in the villages will almost certainly 'have a home' and they will also be inter-related. They are in fact behaving much like their wolf ancestors from whom all dogs are descended. This has two advantages. firstly they are, to a degree at least, socialized as far as their relationship with humans is concerned and they also form a protective pack which defends the village against canine intruders, so you're unlikely to encounter strays. When they're barking at you @georgegeorgia they're regarding you as an intruder and are 'seeing you off'. Once they become familiar with you, they will not bother you at all. I've been in our village now for over 6 years and I walk just about daily. There are probably 40 or more dogs here and not one of them shows the slightest concern as I pass by, some even court my friendship. My behaviour toward them is to show no aggression, behave calmly and quell any fear that I may feel. Dogs are genetically programmed to dwell alongside man. Proof of that comes from the fact that even new borne pups will seek our friendship at a very young age. You have no need to be concerned about us 'elderly falangs' living in villages. We're quite used to our canine neighbours.

'Wise' what's up?
There are a number of reasons why a payment can be delayed. Despite their best endeavors, transfers are not always immediate. The problem is we have all got used to them being so quick and reliable that we feel let down when it doesn't work out that way. Like when your car doesn't start first time. https://wise.com/help/articles/2977951/why-is-my-transfer-taking-so-long

20 years later... came back to have a look
That can only lead to an improvement in the long term. Once these nerdy posters realize their vitriolic anti Thai postings that seem to pervade almost every thread here will not get an airing, the sooner this forum will improve. Bring it on, the sooner the better.

Dr Pakpilai Thavisin: From anti-aging pioneer to wife of Thailand’s new PM
Hormone treatments are mentioned in her VitalLife business website, but I don't see what that has to do with her husband's height. Male human beings reach their full height by the time they reach 16 years. I was reading that Srettha Thavisin is the 2nd tallest PM in the world after Volodymyr Groysman of Ukraine. Quite unusual for an Asian.

So what is so unusual about that? Many Thais have family links in the countryside and visiting them during holidays is a regular theme in their lives. Hence the exodus from Bangkok during those periods.
