  1. Guess when the vines start moving on there own and the koi fish grow a 3rd eye in the top of there heads you will have your answer....as always stay safe. We escaped to the house in Southern HH/Pranburi. Friends in Phuket are under water near Phuket town. Have not seen that in many years.
  2. Look at what is occurring around the world with the removal of certain names folks use to use when referring to others.....strange world we live in.
  3. How do you do your highness, can I help you with any money you need moved from Nigeria.
  4. He is using the newly devised US derived nomenclature on how to refer to the gender different individual. To me the new woke version is derogatory. If a person identifies as a male or a female then in my book that's all is needed, and no not based upon the body parts one has.
  5. Exactly, My first 2 year licenses were obtained by just showing my California License which was good for both auto and motorcycle. No IDP asked for at all. Was stopped many times prior to obtaining my Thai DL's, in Phuket as well as Udon Thani, and never once needed to show an IDP all I showed was my California license and after paying the fine on the spot 500 Baht to the desk Sergeant after parking my motorbike at the side of the road (GF at the time had no MC Helmet on) I was on my way. Other times I just showed my CDL and off I went, never a question asked. I admit I was a bad man and drove for almost a year on my CDL without ever obtaining the Thai DL's.
  6. As you can see homophobia still exists...sad in today's society where folks feel this way, much like my ex-wife.
  7. Sad, to see a family rejecting a child who has decided his gender is not what they were born with. Acceptance for many is hard and they believe that it shoes negatively on them. My oldest daughter is LGBTQ. I accepted her and never thought any differently. Her mother however has disowned her as its agai st the bible. Sad that we have folks who can not accept and live there children for who they are.
  8. So how will this truly be enforced with the dark tinted windows....
  9. Villa sells a Half cream, like a half/half. Makro as well. As far as the coffee creamers like back home they do not exist here in Thailand. I make my own by adding liquid Vanilla and some other liquid flavorings like hazelnut and caramel to the Heavy Cream I use.
  10. Your very new to the TV AN Family, so let your question sink in for a few minutes, the answer will pop into the forefront of your brain so that you can wrap yourself around the enormity of the proposition of spouting out that which is what it is.
  11. The hits just keep on coming for the Orange Man His' goose is cooked': Legal experts say new Trump bombshell is ‘aggravating factor’ that makes an indictment more likely (msn.com) "A Trump employee has told federal agents about moving boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago at the specific direction of the former president, according to people familiar with the investigation, who say the witness account — combined with security-camera footage — offers key evidence of Donald Trump’s behavior as investigators sought the return of classified material,"
  12. Is that the name of the Go-Go she worked at?
  13. Is this where the missing 50 Million Thb went.....asking for my friends pedigreed schnauzer who needs a new rolex neck piece.
  14. Able to stay ahead of the bread and cheese line with that 8.7% I remember as a youngster my best friends family on food stamps, getting food from the church and standing in the line when they handed out the processed cheese blocks and powdered milk.....his mother made great grilled cheese sandwiches and macaroni & cheese, but I would never want to see anyone live like that.
  15. Now if that would just roll-over to a regular pensioners pension who does not collect SS. I mean we do all live in the same world with inflation being global and the economies taking it in the shorts.
  16. Maybe she acts like she is 66...
  17. No they want a Mother figure who can spank their rear and keep them in line.....subservient
  18. Why is it horrible? Are they already not immunized/vaccinated against, rubella, mumps, measles Chicken Pox, tetanus, and a whole slew of other viruses and illness, oh and lets no forget Polio.....
  19. Oh for heavens sake, that's all this country needs....well they invited the Japanese in in WW2 what could possibly go wrong.
  20. Only made 20 pizzas a night at 200 baht a pizza. So he was only cooking for about 3 hours a night making 4k thb a night and after his costs probably 3k. He was definitely making some dough......at least 60k a month.....
  21. You may be right on this. I hope they restore the services to the further out provinces. I have many older friends who despise travelling to BKK from the Udon Thani and Nong Khai areas, and they hate driving to CM due to the hills and curves in the road. Like most Embassies around the world they seem to leave the expat community in the lurch.
  22. So you have never heard of the US's Consular outreach program? It was very helpful to many, and although they have stopped it, when I spoke to a consular officer sometime ago I was told there was discussion on restarting it. https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/consular-outreach/
  23. It was and still is part of the Consular outreach program the Embassy and Consulate in CM conduct. Just because it was stopped during Covid does not mean it will not be restarted since there is now a new Ambassador at the helm. What security do you think these consular officers need. The last one I attended in Udon Thani a few years back the hotel conference room was pack with expats needing things done, from passports, to notarization, notification of new born etc.....
  24. @mudcat you may never receive the letter and the screen will stay as pre-approved. Try to click on the 3 dots to the right of the pre-approved and see if the notice is uploaded. Like myself, I called to confirm like you did and then made the appointment to go into the OSSC and have my Visa Stamp placed into my PP, this was then when they handed me the letter of certification and the attachment which shows my LTRWP information. The letter I posted above is what they gave me.But here it is again
