I've only lived in Thailand since 2015. Did nut jobs like this guy often visit Thailand? Or is this just in recent years? Too many crazies smashing up 7's.. Running naked... Sex in public and on and on. So...?

Dead or alive thingy
The USA SSA has my permanent legal address as me living in California. If I change my social security direct deposit to a Thai bank using the ssa-1199-op107... (Which gets mailed to Manila,)... will this trigger those "dead or alive" certifications that some people get every year or two ? I've been outside of the US since 20012 and have never got one of those forms.. yet. Thanks for any constructive comment

Thailand’s Losing Its Edge — Is Vietnam the Next Real Deal?
This! We know that this are terrible at managing their money... and I think they feel the gravy train will just go on and on. They should seriously consider some major changes, especially a shift in attitude. In the past when things get tough they just increase prices with zero added value. Very little effort has been put out on their part. Here in Hua hin.. Most Thai girls STILL scream out "massage" after standing there for 10 years! It's annoying. I wish one day a waitress would enquire "is everything OK" about 5 minutes after they serve my meal. Once in 10 years that's happened. Thailand thinks it's the greatest country on the planet and us expats and tourists should be grateful for what we receive.

Thailand’s Losing Its Edge — Is Vietnam the Next Real Deal?
Viet people are much more friendly... Curious and warm. Thai are increasingly.. angry and have lost their smile. Thailand hasn't even tried to keep up on the service front... prices are higher and poor service and bad attitude is becoming the current trend. Thai show very little gratitude. I assumed after covid that they would be kinder and more grateful. Fk me I was so wrong 555 Thailand is still good value but I want more than a cheap plate of food served user a tin roof. In Da Nang that similar plate of food is served in a real building with nice decor and comfy seats... Close to the beach.. For the same price! Served by locals who are fun and engaging! I feel welcome in Da Nang.

Thailand’s Losing Its Edge — Is Vietnam the Next Real Deal?
The OP has the statement backwards. Thailand.. After being in the hospitality biz for 40 years has lost its edge. Vietnam, in just a few years ..10?... is catching up with lazy Thailand hospitality biz Thai have lost their smile, can't blame them with the influx of dross of humanity and the lousy job the current sdmin is doing. Viet people are generally friendly, warm and curious

Geeeeez. The apathy or support, from AN members, towards this crime is amazing. It only confirms my stance NOT to read AN much. It's mostly negative, nasty and whining comments.

Well... after a few friendly conversations sprinkled with "I'll be staying in this town several years".. they honored the warranty. Gave me a brand new service book and filled in all the items that were performed. Phew. I was worried for a bit...

A rolled up banknote? 20 baht or 100 USD? Wouldn't a plastic straw suffice without going full HOLLYWOOD? RIP kids.
