How long to get your Certificate of Residency from your IO?
In Ratchaburi a couple of months ago it took about 15 minutes to get the letter for renewing my Thai Drivers license. 5 years ago the form had a picture of me on it but this time it did not.

Tell me again there is no inflation in Thailand
Who told you there is no inflation in Thailand? Everyone I know complains about it. One of our friends owns a boat noodle restaurant. She kept her price at 25 baht for a long time and was always complaining about the cost of everything. I kept telling her she needed to raise her prices but she was afraid of losing business. She finally did raise the price to 50 baht.

Thailand - A positive thread
One time I was at a restaurant with a group of people and somehow my wallet had fallen out of my back pocket. A waitress came by picked it up and gave it back to me. Another time my family had come to visit and I had rented a van to drive them around in. We had stopped at a roadside restaurant to eat. We got back in the van to leave but there was a lot of traffic on the road. A random lady walking down the side walk looked at us and then went out into the road and stopped traffic so we could back out. As it was happening I even asked my family, "Would any stranger in the US stop and do that for you?"

Thailand’s new Customs rules
I ordered some cosmetic stuff for my wife on Ebay. It was sent from Australia. I was expecting to have to pay customs on it as Ebay does not withhold funds for customs like Amazon does. However it arrived and I didn't have to pay anything.
