  1. You should have been here about 30 years ago. Queues were pretty much non existent. It was just whoever pushed hardest.
  2. If you get the original visa in the USA the funds do not have to be in a Thai bank. They can be in a US bank. But after that to extend your stay in Thailand the funds need to be in a Thai bank, at least 2 months before applying for the extension of stay. I would recommend applying for this regular non-0 visa with a 90 day stay. Once in Thailand open a Thai bank account as soon as possible. Then the last month of the 90 day apply for the 1 year extension. (This avoids having to do the medical insurance certification every extension.) non-immigrtant type O retirement It is also possible to enter Thailand visa exempt then apply at immigration for the 90 day non-o. But maybe a bit harder to open a Thai bank account without having the non-o first.
  3. Look closer it is just the illusion of it being exposed. Why do they all have to have fake noses?
  4. Perhaps but it will make for lucky lottery numbers. 23, 73, 08, 47 Seems wierd that people look for lucky numbers from death and accidents.
  5. Yes much better to have two overpriced lotteries than just one.
  6. There are some good herbal lozenges available at pharmacies here for soothing the throat. Carbon pills can be useful for absorbing bacteria in the gut. There are different brands, CA-R-BON is one of them. I recommend capsules over pills. The pills are very dry in the mouth.
  7. I'm sure the accululation of particles in the air has nothing to do with it being sugar cane harvesting season...
  8. The best option is to get the bank to remove his name from the account. I have no idea how hard that would be. Otherwise she has time to open a new account in her name only. You need the 800K at least 2 months before applying for an extension. But then she still might have to show having the 800K for the 3 months after the last extension and 400K after that. Which would involve showing the joint account. That could be messy. So I would say for this next extension either get his name taken off of the account or use an agent one more time. As a joint account holder she can access the money in the account.
  9. 3 day suspension is so harsh. That will teach him a lesson.
  10. I recently did a 90 day report online about 30 days before my next extension. It was approved.
  11. It's more about banning people from dumping dogs they don't want anymore at wats.
  12. Technically not allowed, you need a license to import vitamins. But if you keep your orders small, under 1,500 baht in value, customs doesn't check them. I have ordered from iherb and vitacost with no problems, keeping the orders small.
  13. Hard to tell from the video but probably a bridle snake, non-venomous. But some could mistake it for a krait.
  14. From the linked article, "Initially, Jit was hesitant about trusting Thanapat due to his not-so-good reputation. However, she had no choice due to her advanced age and lack of assistance." It seems like there would always be a choice. Specially if she didn't trust him to start with.
  15. A lot of monks also double as fortune tellers. Let them read your future. You might need a special ceremony to ward off the bad luck. My wife took me to one a few years ago. He said I was going to get very ill within the next year. So he did a special ceremony where I was ceremonial put to death and then reborn to change my future. It must have worked, I'm still here a few years later.
  16. First, as others have said, don't believe their sales pitches about it protecting from chips and dirt just falling off. It does none of that. It does make it so you don't have to wax the vehicle to keep it shiny. When you buy it you are usually given a card with some free reapplications about every 6 months. You may be able to get a lower price for just a one time application.
  17. I remember a long time ago when Thailand banned the song "One Night in Bangkok" We went to a large waterpark here and they had it playing on their park sound system.
  18. Gut bacteria and psoriasis Doctors tend to just treat the symptoms on this and not the causes.
  19. House Police Affairs Committee members expecting a bonus on Friday? Anyway I thought they said Taksin could only be visited if he agreed to it. Which is super silly.
