Never observed a cash register in any of the Talads. Most vendors use a calculator to tell you the price and then use to to see how much they need to hive you back if any is needed because you gave them a bigger note.

My partner watches the world news as well as local news. She asks questions about anything she can not find d while searching Google.

I really hate to break it to you but the poster you responded to is correct. Thailand is a Buddhist country. They even have a government Sangha Council. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_in_Thailand Buddhism is the largest religion in Thailand, practiced by over 94% of the population. Thai Constitution does not indicate any state religion, but promotes Buddhism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangha_Supreme_Council The Sangha Supreme Council of Thailand (Thai: มหาเถรสมาคม; Pali: Mahāthera Samāgama; abbreviated SSC) is the governing body of the Buddhist order (Sangha) of Thailand, and is the ultimate authority for all ecclesiastical matters within the Thai Sangha.[1] Its leadership consists of the country's highest ranking monks, who consult the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand with respect to administrative and theological matters.[2][3][4] The Sangha Supreme Council was established on 1 January 1963, under the Sangha Act of 1962 As far as drinking the 5th precept of Theravada Buddhism says this https://www.learnreligions.com/the-fifth-buddhist-precept-450104 According to Bhikkhu Bodhi, violating the precept requires an intoxicant, an intention to take an intoxicant, the activity of ingesting the intoxicant, and the actual ingestion of the intoxicant

Wonder how long it's been there? to be bleached like it looks like in the photo it could be many years since the body was placed there.

No thats is incorrect, but I get your drift. https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/doubling+down 1. In blackjack, to double one's wager after seeing one's initial hand of cards, with only one more card allowed to be drawn afterward. Having already lost a massive sum, he decided to double down an already huge bet to try to win back some of his money.

Sometimes the hook gets set deep and you can not get away from the lure of the possibility of getting rich. Once down money folks double down and hope they regain what they have lost. I wonder how many gambling addicts there are in Thailand....that's a rhetorical question by the way.

It is what it is and as many before me have stated, the pent up supposed demand is over. Folks have spent what they wanted, and could afford to, and now have returned to work to re-fill there own coffers, while Thailand is still hoping to reach the numbers they predicted. what the predicted. My view is that we have seen the last of big tourism until the next hi-season starts. My kids who were here and have now departed back home spent an average of 11k Thb per day, that was the total amount for both of them, basically 5500 Thb each per day, while they were here, and that included hotels food and travel around the country with the GF and myself. The higher airfares were why my sisters family did not come for their spring break, like they wanted to. Ticket prices for the 5 of them were going to run almost 10k USD, and for a two week trip they would have broke their budget for the whole year.

A post above explains that Tucker had been sending e-mails to his bosses and a lawyer for Trump that were part of the Dominion lawsuit and it appears that he was not in agreement that Trump had the election stolen from him. It was part of the defamation lawsuit and is why he was probably let go. We will never know the full reason. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/defamation-suit-produced-trove-of-tucker-carlson-messages/ar-AA1ahL4g?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=9ec65a248cb24729b021644e19e85b1e&ei=12 Carlson's messages lambasted the news division and management, revealed how he felt about Donald Trump and demonstrated his skepticism of the election lies — so much so that Fox attorneys and company founder Rupert Murdoch held him up as part of their defense of the company. The judge who oversaw the case ruled that it was “ CRYSTAL clear ” none of the election claims related to Dominion was true.

Dry as a sundried cracked lake bead this morning down here in the Pranburi Area and already 31c at the house. We do have a slight haze over the Blue Sky and an AQI of 12, so the air still is polluted a tad. Going to be a scorcher I think, my weather app says its supposed to get to 38c here with the humidity already at 56%

+1 on that.

Left BKK headed back south after a quick trip up. As we pulled out from the condo garage we were hit with loud booms, lightning and serious rain. It last until we hit Rama 2 around Central Rama 2. Sunny and blue skies down here in PKK now. AQI is very good.

So did he win big, was he playing with loaded dice as the shaker or what?

Seems to be that the visa.boi.go.th web site is working good today. Had a nice chat with the BOI LTR unit folks as well as the IT Group. Seems they have worked out all of the bugs that were bogging down my profile and application in the system which still had it showing appointment needed, and it now finally shows a status of Complete. Apparently, because I was one of the first ones to have the LTRWP visa issued in country, it never was truly entered into the BOI System as issued due to early bugs. Immigrations system shows it was issued, but in order for the BOI to enter it as logged into there system completely as issued, I had to send them copies of all the paperwork they had issued, this included the official letter and the small sheet which showed the visa information. I also had to send them PDF's of the Bio page of my passport as well as the PDF's of the Visa stamps entered into my PP. They then created a virtual appointment, where they actually scheduled me as if I had gone into the BOI Office today, and they then uploaded all of the documents into the system and cleared me out as far as now being Complete.

Can you see into the future with the Deja Vu? Do you really think that with Thailand still struggling in it's current recovery of tourism that if what you say may happen the country will not loose more tourists and the economy will tank? I mean that's my view as to what could occur if as you say its becomes a rinse and repeat scenario......

Like fuel subsidies, why not subsidize energy usage. Is it really costing more to generate the energy distributed around Thailand? So Thailand does not produce its own fuel from the oil fields leased out to folks like PTT and so on? Kind of confused. Where does gas come from in Thailand? Most of Thailand's crude oil and condensates are from offshore fields in the Gulf of Thailand. https://www.eia.gov › country › THA Thailand - International - U.S. Energy Information Administration ... Does Thailand produce gas? Natural gas fuels approximately 60–65% of Thailand's electrical power generation. The Erawan gas field in the Gulf of Thailand supplies about 20% of Thailand's gas production. https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki Energy in Thailand - Wikipedia

Puffing

It can be downloaded from the site after you log in, there should be a tab to click if you are on screen 7 from within Thailand. They should also have sent you an approval e-mail, so check your folders such as Spam to insure it did not make it's way there, depending on your e-mail servicer.

Guess you can not fire him until he is convicted. Another inactive post. One wonders ders if he will still be collecting his pay once caught, since he is now AWOL his pay will be docked for days missed.
