  1. I always keep my shoes inside the room.
  2. First off Medicare will not cover anything outside of the US. So for me it seems silly to pay for the other parts that you will probably never use. But say if you don't pay for part B at 65 you can still get it later if you returned to live in the states but it would cost more. Part A you are going to get automatically anyway.
  3. wrlife will insure you. But I have no idea if they are a good company to deal with. You can apply online but they want you to pay before you even see the actual policy. The bigger problem is any insurance company that will offer you insurance here will have coverage exclusions that make the policies pretty useless.
  4. 6,000 baht interest a month for a 10,000 baht loan. That is crazy. Why would anyone agree to it?
  5. Looks like for a perm and coloring the price should have been between 1,600 to 3,000 baht based on the prices on the door shown. Of course they may have asked her if she wanted them to use premium products.
  6. I had some Alice Cooper signed items and had Edgar Winter sign a They Only Come Out At Night CD Cover. I gave them to my brother when I moved to Thailand.
  7. The beer is made by Tawandang. They have some places in Bangkok. They craft their own beer.
  8. Chiangmai Smokehouse usually has a Thanksgiving Buffet dinner. It's at a house and set up in the yard. All the Dukes branches have a Thanksgiving meal. It used to be a buffet but the last 2 years just a regular meal service. The portion size is generous though. You have to buy tickets in advance. I haven't had much luck searching online for thanksgiving dinners this year. As others have mentioned some hotels may offer thanksgiving dinners but the price is usually a lot higher. Probably best to call the hotels and ask if you are interested in that route.
  9. The gun incident happened previously. He had left Thailand before they could arrest him. Now he decided it was safe to return but was arrested on his return.
  10. I see more of the krathong being made from natural products the last few years. Like slices of a banana stem for the body.
  11. Falang like pie.
  12. In non tourist areas I am rarely asked for my passport. My wife just uses her Thai ID.
  13. Hard to buy clothes online here. There are several different size standards used.
  14. elementary school book: B is for Bribe
  15. Driving on the other side of the road isn't that hard. The biggest issue you will have at first is turning on the windshield wipers when you want to use the turn signals. But you have to be aware of how people drive here too. Don't ever think about 'right of way' when driving here.
  16. now you will need 2 brown envelopes... Sawatdee nee hao
  17. Front loaders the water level does not get up to the door.
  18. Yes. They throw off shoots that will then have fruit too. But keep removing all the shoots and see how many times one plant will fruit.
  19. Hubs and soft power. Get over it.
  20. Nothing to worry about the police said they are going to take care of this problem.
  21. I don't think I would consent to police X-Raying me.
  22. Banana plants (they are not trees) don't fruit regularly. They fruit once.
  23. Feed the ducks
  24. My wife had the wrong bithdate on her Thai ID. She had to have her mother go in with her to attest to the correct date to get it changed.
  25. Even if they stopped all the burning in Thailand, which they will not. They would have to get the surronding countries to do the same.
