  1. Being admitted to a hospital every time we go there. My wife broke her kneecap one time they didn't admit her. If you go to a hospital with a fever they will want to admit you. Or if you are dehydrated.
  2. About half of the tigers were brought to a wildlife place in Ratchaburi. As you say most died there from some disease. When the tigers were first sent there they put a big billboard out on the road asking for donations to take care of the tigers. After about a year the billboard was removed.
  3. Pretty easy to renew them. I have never had a written test to take. Last time I renewed just had to watch about a 45 minute video and take the vision/reaction tests. If your license is expired more than a year you have to do more.
  4. For food poisoning Carbon pills/capsules work good. Capsules are easier to take. The pills get pretty dry in your mouth. The carbon helps absorb the bacteria. But for as bad as you have it you are probably getting very dehydrated. If you went to a hospital they would want to admit you and put you on an IV. Drinking electrolytes will help too. If you notice blood in your stool/squirts definintely go to a hospital.
  5. That's what I have seen too in some of my friends and relatives places that have been treated.
  6. I hope they fare better than the tigers they 'rescued' from Kanchanaburi several years ago. Within a year half of them died in government facilities.
  7. I try my hardest to avoid refined sugar or corn syrup stuff. But I know when I go to restaurants here I am probably getting sugar. They love sugar in just about everything.
  8. And of course you will never learn the names of the places selling them.
  9. They did change the rules but it was never 800K for the full year. It used to be 800K 3 months before the extension and you were free to use it all until the next 3 month period. Then they changed it to 800K two months before and three months after the extension with 400K the rest of the year. Here's the link you wanted. 22. In the case of retirement:
  10. It definitely was when I drove home from Bangkok to Ratchaburi Wednesday night.
  11. They are trying to burn it out of the air.
  12. How would the bank know when they lost them? Anyway he could probably get a replacement deed in a couple of days.
  13. And the 35 expressway pretty much doesn't exist anymore going thru Samut Sakhon. All traffic goes through the frontage road and goes down to 1 lane in a couple of spots plus in some areas cars parking in the left lane effectively making it 1 lane in those areas too. This is while they are building the elevated expressway to go from Bangkok to Huahin. Looks like a couple more years of construction.
  14. 3 months after your extension you can take the account down to 400,000 but have to get back up to 800,000 2 months before your next extension is due. This is without changing to a marriage based extension.
  15. When I pay with my debit card I get 3 different responses. They change from time to time. One the payment goes through without doing anything else. Two the payment gets redirected to the bank site and a one time code is sent from my bank. Three Lazada sends me a one time code without redirecting to the bank.

    the wai

    Do you shake hands in other countries or refuse to do that too? Anyway a wai is more sanitary than a handshake. Even in handshakes some use it to try to show dominance. Like squeezing extra hard or not giving you a proper grip. My Thai friends often want hugs too.
  17. Apparently it is possible to own a lion with the proper permit. https://thepattayanews.com/2023/03/02/chinese-neighbor-alarms-pattaya-residents-with-his-pet-white-lion/ "According to police, Mr. Shen produced legal documents showing he had bought the lion for 500,000 baht from a Thai man, Mr. Yothin Nakorn, who owned a white lion farm in Chachoengsao province. However, the Chinese man could not show a license required to raise a lion, which the authorities advised him to later request from the Office of Conservation Area 2, within an undisclosed time frame."
  18. Why worry about it? Just do it and it will be 90 days the next time. The first 90 day report will have to be done at the office. After that you can do it online.
  19. 4.เสียงและความสั่นสะเทือน.pdf (secot.co.th)
  20. first time he probably walked around first and planted the item second time probably had the bag up his sleeve and dropped it into the hole
  21. From the linked article: "On December 9, she sought the guru’s help once again. He visited her house and, using a walking stick, detected an object beneath the floor of her house. The object was revealed to be a bag containing various items, including a kaffir lime, nails, ancient bee wax, an animal tooth, a piece of cloth soaked in yellow liquid, pieces from a cremation site, and fragments of a bowl. The bag also contained a message stating that the house would break in 2023, the mother bedridden in 2023, and a death in 2024." Sounds like a set up to me.
