  1. 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:
  2. "It's got electolytes!"
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. I thought they said they wrapped it up a couple of weeks ago.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. There was a news article today with a CIA person saying the whole thing was staged by Putin to give him more power.
  10. I looked it up. You are correct it is made from rice and corn with some molasses. So it is closer to distilled sake then.
  11. That just means they mix different batches of it together.
  12. And don't forget to smother it with ketchup too!!! Anyway Thai's love sweet, that's why.
  13. 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).
  14. There are no prescriptions in thailand. There are some controlled drugs which can only be bought at hospitals, which means seeing a doctor.
  15. 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.
  16. If you know someone coming to Thailand you could have them bring you some.
  17. He must want the ex to pay the dowry for the new wife. I imagine we will never know the outcome of this but I hope he loses.
  18. 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.
  19. even if they unite it is not going to change the outcome.
  20. The average vagina is about 3" in length. So we should all be fine.
  21. He did say, "I have been doing visa extensions for 20 years at Nonthaburi"
  22. 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.
