Anyone tried Mexican Tacos ?
The fried corn tortilla tacos are more American than Mexican. Mexican tacos are made with small soft flour tortillas. With meat, onions, cilantro and lime squeezed on them. More like this:

When does it become time to put money aside in a separate account and self insure?
I'd say if you really want to self insure you should have at least 5 million in reserve. You also would need the ability to replenish it if you have to use it.

I want to buy s&p 500 stock in thailand...where?
The Thai banks offer mutual funds. Some of which are for American stocks. But the fees are rather high. Much better to use a regular broker. Brokers list 2023 for Thailand

Seeking alternative health insurance quotes to Pacific Cross/Prime..
Pacific Cross raises your premium every 5 years. After 60, 65, etc. If you don't have any claims you get a 10% reduction on the following renewal. This is an old chart. But you can get a general idea of how much it increases as you age.

Requirements for a Retired expat to buy a vehicle
You would think you could just use your Thai drivers license, which you needed a residence certificate to obtain. It has your address on the back side. But that would be too easy.

Where to get Amitryptyline GPO
That's not a prescription. It's a receipt. You don't have to buy the medication from the hospital if you don't want to. They might write down what you should get on a piece of paper. But that's not a prescription either. You can go to any pharmacy outside of a hospital and just tell them what you need, no slip from a doctor is needed. The Bangkok hospital I go to in Ratchaburi doesn't even list the medications with prices like the law supposedly requires. Just one line: Medication XXXX baht.

Rum in Thailand
Not rum though and weaker, Sangsom feels like it's actually stronger than 40% Hong Thong is rum. Most of the Thai made stuff is rum. I'm not sure if there is any Thai made stuff from grains, not sugar cane(molasses).

When to blur car number plate in photos?
Plenty of news articles with plate numbers shown, though sometimes they are blurred out too. You could ask the police but they probably don't know what the actual law is either.

Healthcare shortage tackled by Thai government with new strategy
So they are leaving because of low pay but none of their solutions has anything to do with better wages. Government hospitals are so disorganized compared to the private ones. And dirtier. I went to a local one to get my booster shot and there were patients laying in hospital beds in the hallways and outside.

Lazada's imaginary sellers
Ordering stuff that comes from china is more problematic than ever. Lots of sellers there are sending completely different/worthless items than what you ordered. The last thing that happened to me was I ordered 3 bags of siliphos. They only sent one. I told Lazada. They said I needed to return it to get credit. I returned it. Then Lazada only gave me credit for the 1 bag because that is all I returned. I had to get ahold of them again and explain that I can not return something that was never sent to me. Finally they are giving me a refund back on the other 2 bags.
