Loads fine in BKK over AIS. With ad blockers in full force.

If I had dementia, and was spinning in circles lost in a city, I would much rather it be Chiang Mai or Bangkok than New York or LA.

Guns, almost certainly, provided in Thailand. I vaguely remember an article mentioning one gun being connected to a retired official.

Kept my house in the US. Was a complete disaster for the first four years, as a "trusted" friend took complete advantage of my generosity - destroyed some of my property, failed to pay bills, refused to leave for months after i demanded he exit, and left the place in a total mess that required over $5,000 to clean up. Once that problem was resolved, I hired a professional property manager. They helped get the place into a "rentable" state, and handled everything. Best move ever. The place is perpetually rented, the renters have been quite good, and I am actually making a small profit every year. The biggest reason I never sold the place (as others have suggested) is for the security of being able to return to my home if everything here went pear shaped. Has provided peace of mind. Another benefit is having an actual postal address for cases where that is needed. The other thought I had was that I have been expecting (and now we are getting) insane inflation, and the house provided me with an inflation hedge.

Similar device used at the entrance of many BTS stations.

The good news for me is that I am surrounded by Thai people.

I love living alone. But I also prefer to have a separate bedroom.

Using Chrome, I can get all the way to the payment page of the checkout process. Is it possible that you have disabled cookies for the site?

My prediction? It gets scrapped once they realize the tourist numbers are not rising. What will not get scrapped is the app they will force you to install on your phone at the airport.

Let's hope no one choked it yet.

Just like they protected the vulnerable Rohingya.

They are happy to share the data.... in 75 years! Not suspicious in any way.

It took real courage to push forward with that investigation. His need to flee to another country to protect his life highlights the fact.

Posters often comment that "the bars are dead - everyone will meet online". These photos are a perfect example of why that reasoning has flaws.

I am by no means an expert on the subject, but this sure seems like a hack for something that requires serious attention.

How much you wanna bet they are already 100,000 a day?

What is the point of this vapid article? Weather patterns are just that - patterns. Guess what? They change from time to time.

That is very interesting. As I demonstrated, I am able to get my purchase confirmation OTP SMS messages from Capital One and Bank of America. It appears Skype is rejecting SMS from what they refer to as a "short code", which is a special phone number: https://www.twilio.com/docs/glossary/what-is-a-short-code Apparently Capital One and Bank of America do not use a short code to send the SMS OTP's that I receive. As Skype mentions, you can always receive a voice call, which Capital One offers as an alternative, and I have used a couple of times.

The only way I know of to get the dedicated phone number is by subscription. The unlimited minutes plan I added because I do a ton of phone calls with friends and family in the States.

If I remember correctly, you must go to your account and enable the SMS feature. It does not receive SMS by default.

I have a credit card with Capital One bank. Whenever I make an online purchase with my CC, they redirect me to a screen that is asking for an OTP. That OTP is sent to the phone number that I provided them, which is my Skype number. The OTP shows up in Skype and I enter it into the screen mentioned. The purchase has been approved every time. The process also works when they request 2FA when logging into my account online. Also works with my Bank of America account for 2FA:

I use Skype. I bought a US phone number, and a plan that allows unlimited minutes for all calls to and from the US. The phone number is able to accept SMS for OTPs. The SMS messages show up in Skype, which is quite convenient, since I can see them on my laptop or mobile.

Be careful about shipping the evil playing cards...

There was no amount of preparation and rule following that would have prevented his fate. Even he was aware of this.

Didn't the government just explain that the new name involves changing a semicolon to two parentheses?
