  1. Let’s not forget the pink nipple cream, and the anal bleaches. Does someone hold the title of chief testers of t & a? LOL
  2. So if you're 100 years old and need a new organ, you obviously would like to get an organ from someone younger and in better health. Just from whom are those hearts and kidneys and lungs going to come? Organ donors who voluntarily donate and die in accidents are a good thing. But what's next? This is a slippery slope where the rich and powerful can live forever using the organs of the young and poor? Who is next? Prisoners? Or maybe will there become entire generations of uyghurs born and raised for the sole purpose of being "harvested" for the rich and powerful? Is that where China is taking this?
  3. Great idea. i’ve done the same in Koh Samui. you can get them on Amazon. You could also carry a pistol. using either on self defense is not illegal, though proving it was self defense and that you weren’t on the offensive would be hard to prove as a farang and without witnesses. and carrying a pistol without a permit is illegal and a farang can’t get a permit. but the taser works and definitely will scare off those wild animals. https://a.co/d/34hIOw2
  4. That’s exactly what it is. They exclude things that existed before you became their customer or charge you a higher rate because of that.
  5. Are there freight forwarders who receive in USA and ship to Thailand? Reliably? Cheaply? Still with the usual high import taxes?
  6. Does 3 days worth of food really constitute “stockpiling”? Isn’t that just normal grocery shopping? Who doesn’t have 3 days with of stuff at their house? That’s the more interesting question. And we’re taking about Europe, not Thailand where there are 50 cent street vendors on every corner. That doesn’t exist in Europe, at least not so cheaply and on every corner. I think my family goes grocery shopping about once every 7-10 days. And if we don’t have the time or the budget to go again after 7-10 days, we could probably last 30 days if needed, just without any fresh fruits and veggies and milk. All if takes is a few cupboard or a pantry or a freezer. Is that preparing for a war? During Covid we stockpiled enough grains and rice and pasta and flour to last 6 months. That was stockpiling.
  7. It seems like you won’t be paying them anything further and also that you won’t be getting your security deposit back nor any refunds for overpayment on utilities markups, if any. I’d have purposely fallen a month behind on rent before giving them the 30 days notice, knowing in advance that wouldn’t be getting your security deposit back, as one rarely ever does. I’d just move out and not give them a forwarding address and call it a lesson learned.
  8. Years ago when I opened my account with them they asked me for my “home address” in my “home country” of my passport. The problem is I’ve never lived in the country that issued my passport. So I just have them a random address of a hotel I once visited while in that country and that seemed to satisfy them. They haven’t bothered me about this in about 10 years.
  9. He couldn't win the election. His girl couldn’t win. But he wants to leave his legacy and start WWIII. Insanity.
  10. SCB app has been like that for a very long time now.
  11. Is this whole thing just for the first time you install the app on your phone and they send you an SMS to validate or is it for every time you login? What if you’re using wifi? Or you’re traveling? Or have a foreign SIM in your phone and use that for data? There are so many possible combinations and a lot could go wrong and surely they don’t want 1 million customers calling and visiting brand locations. It would be a time sucking disaster for the banks in addition to all the users. My guess is it would only be for the initial setup and installation, which already can only be done with some banks from a Thai IP address. I bought my last new phone in HK and couldn’t install the SCB app again until I got back to Thailand.
  12. Making lots of bookings on booking.com works just fine to get the visa and keep them all active until you actually arrive in Europe. Then change or cancel them. Maybe eat the first night at the first destination because if you said one hotel on your application and then when you arrive the border agent might also call to confirm that the reservation is still valid. But once you clear immigration feel free to cancel them all. Just choose ones that are no payment until check in and only pay if you cancel with less than 24 hours notice. I have a passport from a Schengen visa territory so no problem for me but had to go through all the same BS because I wanted to take my maid with us to see our home and life there, and she was going to stay at our house, but since we lived in Thailand, we didn’t have proof of residence and banks and all that. So we did the booking.com route and canceled after clearing immigration and took our holiday and went back to Thailand. Stupid rules deserve stupid responses. It’s not like it’s reality and actually keeping good guys in and bad guys out but more like those tests you took in high school to see who can follow directions and jump through hoops.
