Far as I'm concerned we've been led up the wrong path by certain people that don't have the environment as a concern. If they cared about the environment they would not be pushing highly polluting batteries made from scarce resources. It's all about the money, IMO.

Michael Moore made a movie about it but couldn't get it released to theaters so he put it on youtube for free.  You can watch it there.

Water quality can vary greatly depending on where you live.

I went last year.  You can get free tickets from car dealers if you don't want to pay.  It was quite impressive.

I guess it's better to be overly cautious.  But they shouldn't really be reporting that people may have Covid-19 without knowing for sure.

It could have just as easily been a cold, flu, dengue or something else.  Rayong has had several Dengue cases.

This is Aetna Platimun Plan for a 48 year old.  Price as shown includes 60K/year for outpatient and 1 million payment for death.  You can lower or get rid of those 2 for even lower cost.  That would be better coverage and much lower payment than what your wife is paying.  They have other plans that are even cheaper.

If you take the battery out of the laptop and use it without the battery does it operate normally then?

looking at that knife she better get a tetanus shot.

hit-and-run in Chalong early last Saturday morning has tested negative for alcohol at the time of the incident.

So if she fled the scene how did they test her for alcohol at the time of the incident?

And if PETA had their way any parent feeding their children meat would be in prison.  That's what I read in one of their articles several years ago.

You will still get 1 year on your extension.  Assuming you have everything you need for it, such as the medical requirement. 

The July 31st thing is mostly for people stuck in Thailand now because of the Covid-19 situation.

Get some Diatomaceous Earth and sprinkle the mattress with it.  Food grade, not the type used for filtration.

He also had his name changed, for good luck, to Pancake.

Obviously a ritual needs to be performed to bless the road and satisfy the spirits.

Or stop driving over that curb in the middle and then sharply swerving back over it again to get back on the road........

I pay 500 baht per unit for a service.  A very thorough cleaning plus recharge if needed included in price.

I saw some solar air conditioner systems on lazada.  No idea how good they work though.  Seems like a good idea if power goes out on a hot day.

Many many thanks to Peter Denis, Ubon Joe and Mango Bob for their quick and valued replies. Your replies are much appreciated and I will now try the LMG policy route.

Just be aware that the LMG deductible is per incidence, not per year.  But in your case you should be covered by your other insurance anyway.

So they are only overproducing by 20% now instead of 100% last year.

Remember the exchange rate using Transferwise is better than that using a card - and there is no atm fee or foreign usage fee involved.  For 20k today Transferwise would cost US $653 (inc fees)

31.0750 Transferwise exchange rate

30.970031 Visa exchange rate

Except Transferwise takes out a fee before calculating that rate.  So your actual rate with them is lower.  For example I just looked now to send $1,000 has a fee of $12.50 and you receive Baht 30,738.78.  That actually works out to ~30.74 baht not the 31.12 they quote.

I can get money for free using my Schwab debit card at an ATM as they rebate all the fees you are charged.

It says I would need to provide some kind of "proof" of the reason for inward remittance? Why?

just tell them it is for living expenses.  They mainly want it to satisfy money laundering reporting. 

There is some very good cantaloupe in Thailand.  The good ones are grown from seed imported from Japan.  

Find a good melon farm in your area.  I got some really good ones from Lamoonfarm in Ratchaburi.

There are lots of tasteless Thai varieties too though.

Thanks for the heads up. I will look into it. Someone suggested Tax-Act. But I am for what ever works from over here. 

I use olt.com it's free for federal returns.
