Did mine Saturday, accepted and got an email back with an attached TM47 filled in with my data… 

I always tip well on all services, restaurants, lawn care, pool guy, massages, caddies, parking folks… It just seems the least I can do to show appreciation of their services for me and my wife… 

All the time, I am a “Handsome Man” so I am told!!!

Why use an agent if you have the funds in the bank?? Simple process and you save $600USD to use for fun or entertainment?? These agents are crooks funding corruption!! Unlike the Wife version the retirement extension is a very short form simple process.. Just look online for the easy requirements.. 

I would say riding my motorcycle up to northern Thailand and experiencing those great roads, Mae Sot to Mae Hong Son, Pai, Chaing Mai, Chaing Rai, Nan and Khoa Kho.. Absolutely the most exciting thing.. I repeat that journey every year for a couple weeks doing the 4000-4500KM giant loop from Hua Hin and back…

TTB allows 30k at a time - it's on the quick withdrawals list on the first screen that comes up after entering your PIN, and don't charge any extra, besides the B220 fee.  They ask if you want to use their exchange rate, which is a poor one, or not.  Always choose "not".

Not to be stupid, but which bank is TTB?? Color or easy way to find them… Thanks!

I recently got back to LOS… I access my spending money from ATM’s with my Schwab debit card… I usually use the Krungsri (yellow) bank, as you can get 30K a pop.. Well while I used it yesterday, I got the normal 220B fee… No issue there, but then it comes up and say a 5% exchange rate “markup” was applied.. this drop my exchange rate down 2 full baht.. Is this some new money grab by all banks or just Yellow bank?? My next move is to try Bangkok Bank as they allow 25K a pop.. Let’s hope they aren’t doing the same thing… Any info would be appreciated !!!

Wow, I read the headline as it was the name of the clinic; "Fire Guts Dental Clinic".. Thought to myself, what a silly name for a dental clinic.. Sadly, it was a bad outcome for this poor business.. I hope they can get rebuilt, and running again soon!!!

No, I am hoping to continue my life, enjoying the fruits of my labors for many more years.. I have made arrangements for my wife, so no worries there.. Just hope to keep on greeting the morning sunshine for many more years!!

Still a sub-human wage to survive on!! My caddie makes more than that in high season and she still struggles with raising her 2 kids alone.. 

Interestingly enough, my wife has been denied a few other handouts over the past few years, due to her bank account balance... So I am sure they can get an easy read on people's bank account balances.. I support truly helping the poor folks in need of help, but this whole thing appears to be a train wreck coming down the hill... in the end one can only hope that this gets in the hands of the needy folks!!!

I am all for reform... My concern is in the interpretation of the new rules and regulations at the officer level.. This will be interesting to watch it play out... 

Crap, that means I am Elderly now a days... Hmm, I go with her covering for someone else.. 

I have always lived my life with one thought(s); There is no redo's and you cannot rewind, so live life to the fullest possible. Be kind and help as many people as I can.. Life is not a destination, but an incredible journey. I am in no rush to end the great ride I am on.. Stress free existence is what i strive for.. I hope to enjoy my life for many more years!

Been using StrongVPN for 9 years with a VPN router for the house na clients on my iPhone and iPads, upgraded to their VPN accelerator last year with a ASUS mesh router setup.. Works perfectly for all my streaming, even NetFlix.. $85 per year covers all devices including the router which still works as a backup and the Accelerator/mesh setup.. Great customer service if needed… Highly recommend them!!

8/10 would be a good way to sum up my experiences currently as I split my time between the USA and Hua Hin... Travel often in both countries.. The current political environment is degrading the US and over time we will suffer for it.. Now not much impact beyond the silly inflation happening in the US.. Thailand is better overall for me and my Thai wife...  

When we met, she was working as a sales rep for the Grand Hotel, which is where I held my conferences and APJ staff meetings. She was the 4th person added to the team... It was love at 1st sight, took me 5 years to get a date, married her 3yrs later while she was an account manager at Impact convention center. I Retired her that day, so she could travel at will to see her family and spend time with me in the states and travel around with me.. We are now enjoying the life in LOS and USA.. Best decision I ever made!!!  

Golfing, Big Bike rides and trips, scuba diving, bicycling, traveling throughout Thailand sightseeing, enjoying the beach… Keep myself as busy as I want to…. All good!

That really looks like it benefits them by far more than it would benefit me using it... 

noting to do with any chemical runoff.... Amazing they can conclude all this with any testing...

So sad yet again, glass stuck in his head, so no helmet… Speed is a factor or he could have stopped or slowed way down,… Skills come into question, alcohol?? Regardless he has a long road back if he can make it through this.. with that level of blood loss have to think possible brain damage too… What a terrible time for all involved… Hope he can pull through this!!

I did mine yesterday, my first one online.. had my approval in 2 hours… I was pleasantly surprised!!

Imagine if they had a few signs up warning of the work zone, I don’t know a police detail to handle traffic while they were blocking the road.. Maybe even a few blinking warning lights… Sadly this is what they get for being so lax on their road safety… RIP … Such a waste!!
