Option 3) Transferring funds from my Schwab account to Bangkok Bank. Also would I receive a more favorable rate if I ask Schwab to convert USD to THB before transferring to Bangkok Bank?

Schwab does not convert to Thai baht.  They will send it in US dollars.  Your Thai bank will determine the rate.

(There are 15 currencies they will convert to but Thai baht is not one of them.)

Once the percentage of female pilots gets over 10% they will no longer be allowed to call it a cockpit.

Is there an access hatch to your ceiling?

If so get someone to put some rolls of insulation, that you can buy from any home improvement store, on top of the ceiling.  Like SCG Stay Cool or a similar product.

A few people I know use LYO shampoo.  My wife is one of them.  She thinks it helps.

You can also get minoxidil in most pharmacies.  Mostly I see it in 5% solution.  But there is a 2% solution that is supposed to be for women.

500 Baht. Obviously a typo !

 

It was actually 500 baht and a wai (see photo).  Normal Thai fine.

Go shopping, eat out.  You are helping others.

The problem is you never know how long you will live and what emergencies may arise.

A lot of places, like dental offices, that want you to remove your street shoes also provide sandals you can wear inside.

A lot of places that have the old style Thai bathrooms also leave sandals by the door to wear inside the bathroom.

But I also agree it is kind of silly in some small stores and barbers that want you to remove your shoes.  Most if you ask though will tell you it's ok to leave your shoes on though.

@UTBoro Is your cable underground or overhead?

 

If it's overhead, replace it with a size larger aluminium cable, it's far cheaper than copper and very much less likely to wander off in the night.

 

If underground you're stuck with using proper underground rated copper cable

 

Have you spoken with your insurance company?

 

On our new property we ran a cable about 50 meters down the side of the main street to an out building.  Our contractor told us to use aluminum wiring as copper wire would probably be stolen.

I was thinking taurine too 

Does it do anything for you ?

You can buy this stuff in the BCAA powder drinks 

Taurine may extend life and health

taurine, coq10

At least some of the bystanders came to help instead of just standing there and watching.

Yes.  Better to keep it quiet. 

Basically 2 baht of gold equals 1 ounce of gold.  Most of the gold jewelry is 96.5% pure.  But there are lower grades sold too.

I watch some medical, investing, and chess channels.

They will charge extra for it as it will have a higher protein content from all the bugs in it.

Should have used a cutting torch...

The newest Everest now has a 3L benzene engine with biturbo, same as the new raptors.  Price also went up to around 2.2 million for the 4X4 version.

A local restaurant bought one.  If I remember correctly they paid 900,000 for it.
