It wasn’t Benny Holst back in town again? I thought he moved on to Gambia and Tenerife after his SE Asia tour https://e.vnexpress.net/news/news/notorious-german-beggar-is-back-in-saigon-3559936.html

uncontrolled diabetes. dont worry, the toes will fall off on their own

Did you make it out of Witherspoons to ever get within ten miles of a recruitment center

Strap on your boots and get out there, dont mistake them for the oversized clown shoes in your closet. I am sure you have watched Rambo twice, so you are qualified.

And here is an explanation of why it fell. The rebar was rusting, and the subsequent spalling of the concrete caused it to collapse. Stephen Petty has an excellent book on engineering called "Forensic Engineering, Damage Assessments for Residential of Commercial Structures". 791 page book. He is an Expert Witness for the courts.. His channel is very informative based on science. https://www.youtube.com/@pettypodcasts6968/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=2

Get a secured credit card. Send me a PM and I can direct you to the Asst Manager of a KBank that will work with you. She set my wife up with a secured card (I wanted her to have a card, so she can build her credit profile, she only works from home doing nails and eyelashes, so she doesnt have "income" per se to show them) . I got my secured card on a Tourist visa in 2017, and still have it now. I earn interest on the deposit at a better rate than a savings account.

Saw the video myself over on reddit. This wasn't the first time he has done something like this. He was smashed around by the cashier in the bar opposite his after some inappropriate behaviour. He thinks he something special.

I am waiting for the story to find out he was mauled to death. I hope he holds up his permit to the lion and says "I'm your master, you can't do this to me"

Did he have any lions? Or the guy on Pratamnak is old allowed to have those

How about they explain WHY the travel insurance won't cover them. Why should they rely on the graciousness of others for their plight? Do they have investment funds - if so, liquidate them. Own property - mortgage it. Every day it is someone looking for money from others to cover their medical costs.

And don't go to the one in Passione Mall in Rayong for the salad bar. Worst one I have ever seen in the many different Sizzler's I've been in.

You apparently didnt read the above noted article, you looked at the headline and your brought out your "knowledge" "In this lengthy deep-dive article by a Midwestern Doctor, he summarizes and reviews the consequences of the now pre-published multi-year watershed study by YALE scientists and researchers. Here the link to that study > https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.18.25322379v1.full.pdf"

Lazada and Shopee has them, but they are way overpriced and many sellers are from China. They are "expensive" but when you consider that I bought my original one for 136 USD in 2015, it has cost me ~14 USD / year. I cannot find any of them shipping direct from USA on Amazon, but you can use a freight forwarder like myus.com to send it to you. I used myus.com to send me the updated Amazon Blink camera module recently and was pleased with their service. My new one if being brought over with a friend that is arriving in April. I can see one listed at 216 UK Pounds on Amazon UK (not sold by Nvidia), and one at 197 USD on Amazon USA (sold by Nvidia). I would say that buying the US one and having it forwarded to you is the better bet, as you have bought it from the manufacturer. Buy the Shield TV Pro, not the Shield TV (looks like a tube, it doesn;t have USB ports, and has less RAM and only 8GB memory.

Well, please publish your verified facts so that I can be informed. Here are the authors, and where you can reach them to tell them they are wrong.

Every airport knows you are a "captured" client so they have no incentive to give you a good rate. Travel through Europe and see how much Travelex rips you off.

Nothing tops the Nvidia Shield TV box. My 2015 with 2Gb of RAM still blows any other boxes I have seen out of the water. Once a year I open it up, clean the fan and put new thermal paste on the processor. And they just pushed out a new update to it last week. 10 years of support so far from the world's highest value chip company. I've just ordered a 2019 now for a second bedroom.

I get the same error. As with many gov't apps here, they are not always reliable.

A tourist can go into KBANK, get this card, load it up and use prompt pay just like everybody else. https://www.kasikornbank.com/en/personal/Digital-banking/Pages/pay&tour.aspx

You have a problem with the above savings. do you have any problems with this? likely no problem when you of one of your kids was “forgive Chart: How Much of Student Loans Has Biden Canceled? | Statista The Biden-Harris administration today announced the cancelation of another $7.4 billion of federal student debt affecting more than 200,000 borrowers. This brings the total amount of canceled student debt by the administration to $153 billion for around 4 million borrowers. This time around, debt relief will reach debtors enrolled in the SAVE plan, in other income-driven repayment plans and those receiving Public Service Loan Forgiveness. In July of last year, the Supreme Court had struck down Biden's plan to cancel $430 billion in student loans for around 40 million Americans all at once using the pandemic-era HEROES Act. The administration has meanwhile been chipping away at student debt with smaller cancelations using executive actions and, for example, relief for federal workers, veterans and the disabled. Debt from schools deemed fraudulent was also forgiven. The amount canceled by Biden so far is about equal to 9.5 percent of all federal U.S. student debt (which stands at $1.6 trillion), while his previous plan would have been equal to 27 percent. Another bigger effort is again in the works: On Monday, the White House announced another plan which looks at forgiving loans for 30 million people. This time, the administration is targeting those whose balance grew after entering repayment due to payments not covering all of their interest.

Ask to have it packed up to go. Pay the bill. Leave her a two baht coin for a tip, then stand in front of the place and feed it to some street dogs.

I don’t have video, however I lived right at the intersection of Pratamnak and Thappraya and there was nightly check stops there pre-covid. I used to go stand and observe. I saw a disproportionate number of foreigners being administered breath tests, being escorted off somewhere and being returned to the scene a short time later. I cannot say exactly what happened, but I can speculate what did. They also tried it on with my buddy, who lived in the same building as me there one night as we came home from having a few drinks. He had 2 beer the whole night as he was driving. They immediately stuck their “flashlight” in his face that has a passive alcohol sensor that detects alcohol in the ambient air, which could have detected any alcohol inside the vehicle, be it me, him, a spilled bottle of hand sanitizer, etc. he was the ordered from the truck to blow in their roadside breath tester. I know that breath testing device intimately. I was an operator of the same device for 18 years, and was a calibrator of them for 6 years. They use a fuel sensor that “burns” the ethanol emitted from your breath and calculates a reading. There are nowhere near as accurate as a “breathalyzer” (that is the brand name of breath testing device invented by Dr Robert Borkenstein). I was also a qualified technician designated by the Attorney General to operate the breathalyzer and conducted thousands of breath tests. The device they use, the Alco-Sensor IV is to be calibrated every 50 tests (yes, a log is supposed to be written down, and documenting the number of breaths through it) or every two weeks, whichever comes first. Upon re-calibration of this device, I have seen it read higher by at least 18% using a standard gas with ethanol in it at an exact known concentration. I am also trained as a Standardized Field Sobriety instructor as well as a Drug Recognition Expert recognized by the International Association of Chiefs of Police and was also designated person by the Attorney General to conduct such testing. I can tell sobriety by physiological symptoms and can also opine on what category of drug (alcohol is a drug) ranging from CNS Depressants, Inhalants, Dissociative Anesthetice, Cannabis, Stimulants, Hallucinogens and Narcotic Analgesics. I have witnessed the police administering tests with this roadside device and they conduct well over 50 tests per device in two to three hours (you can tell how many tests they do by counting the number of discarded mouthpieces at the checkpoint). When they tried it on with my friend, they used a device that had just been taken from another driver who had blown “over”. It was stuck in his face and he was told to blow. There was no direct observation of him from the time he exited the vehicle to the time he blew. He was told to sit “over there” and wait. How do they know he didn’t drink something in that time span. How do they know he didn’t burp and it was mouth alcohol and not breath alcohol. I guess what I am saying, policing is a science. And my observations have been opposite of how police enforcement is conducted here. I have watched many foreigners be in fear of the police, and how they are asked to “pay up” to make things go away. here is a perfect example caught on video just the other day on how foreigners are treated. He was told he was getting a ticket for expired road tax, on a bike he didn’t own (it was a rental) and unless he reads Thai himself, he would not be able to know the exact date it was expired. When he told them he didn’t have cash, the ticket book went away and he was left to drive to his destination. so yeah, I have stood and observed myself and I know what I have seen. I suggest you go out and watch yourself. here are my credentials added with some redactions. I know what I am talking about

Checkpoints are illegal unless there is a commissioned officer physically present at the checkpoint to oversee the enforcement. This one they set up at Soi 15 / second road is the rotund fella and another guy that is a sergeant. meanwhile 200 meters south in front of the VC hotel there is a no parking zone (red and white painted curbs) where taxis park all day, narrowing and clogging up the road, and they do absolutely nothing. go watch for yourself and get back to me.

Do you have proof of this, like tangible proof that you can actually show us. Or is this the personal observation of your seeing eye dog?

Stand in front of Soi 9 on Beach Road and count the ratio of foreigners pulled over to Thais pulled over and then decide if the laws are being applied fairly. Same as the intersection of Soi 15 and second road near Pattaya Tai. The latter spot they target those persons of darker complexion from the largest country to the west of Thailand
