Resurrect old bank account
If you have less than 2,000 baht in an account after 1 year of no activity they will start taking out 50 baht/month until all the money is gone. I was able to reopen an account I had not used in several years with no problem.

Are your delivery drivers dropping off packages without a signature?
It's been quite a while since I have signed for a package. Order COD if it's an issue for you. Then they have to contact you. Of course that won't work if you are ordering on Amazon or such. I have not had any packages stolen from me but we live sort of out in the boonies.

Anyone on a ketogenic diet whilst living here in Thailand?
I often use scrambled eggs, Kai Jio, as a substitute for rice when eating. If you eat out and have Thai food you will be getting sugar. They love putting sugar in just about everything.

Am I expecting to much..
When Thai's make hot coffee at home they don't make a normal coffee mug full. They make one that looks like a shot glass full using those 3-in-1 packs. So that is pretty normal for a hot coffee here.

Bangkok's New Plan: Beat Traffic with a Congestion Charge
Quite a burden for those making 300-500 baht/day. How are they collecting the fee? Setting up booths which would congest traffic even more. Taking photos and mailing bills which would cost quite a bit and lots of unpaid bills?

Multiple Collisions at 20 Pedestrian Crossings in Bangkok Raise Alarm
I have a couple of friends that are police. I was talking to one of them and asked, When you have checkpoints why don't you get someone with bulbs for motorcycles and charge them a few hundred baht to change them right there? His only reply was, It is already illegal. They don't get it. They care more about collecting money than fixing problems. I think their mindset is more like well if we have them fix it we won't be able to collect a fine next time.

This is the last one I bought. Much better than the ones with little drawers. Mine is actually an older version of the same model. I guess links are not working right now. I purchased it on amazon.co.uk for the voltage compatability, Just need a plug adapter. Perhaps you can get on amazon.co.au too. Bridgepro 30L air fryer

Do You Use KASIKORN Mobile Banking ? READ THIS !
My sim card is in my wifes name. No problems using SCB so far. The problem my wife has is with the KTB app. It will not run with our Bitdefender malware program on the phone. It pops up a message saying you need to uninstall it to use their banking app. The SCB app does not have that problem.
