  1. This happens in pretty much every country. Lots of fake doctors and other professionals with fake degrees.
  2. No matter how you feel about the government it is a silly thing to do. She could end up in jail or have to be rehabilitated.
  3. I was reading this article and told my wife 'Oh, tomorrow's the lottery' She told me she wanted to buy 88. I asked her why those numbers. She said she saw them on the papaya we had picked earlier today.
  4. Get ready for another 'fix Bangkok traffic in 6 months' announcement.
  5. Perhaps the question should not be will they know you used an agent but rather will they care?
  6. When we lived in the US people would ask my wife where she was from. She would tell them Thailand. A lot of them would reply, "oh, you're from Taiwan" Or when asked her name she would tell them Nareerat and some would reply, "Margaret, that's a nice name."
  7. There is no such thing as 'right of way' here. Assuming you have the right of way will get you into an accident.
  8. If you are just using it for drinking water you don't need to put a pump under the sink. A lot of the units come with their own little faucet which you can put through your sink if it has an extra whole in it. Like the one Crossy put a picture of.
  9. One bad thing about RO systems is that they waste a lot of water. Most of the water doesn't pass through the membrane is sent down your drain.
  10. One thing that has been happening to me recently is companies shipping from China sending a really cheap item and not what you ordered. One example is I ordered a water filter item for 12K baht and they sent a tube of some sort of skin cream. Lazada is good about returns on them but they should be blocking these sellers on their site. It's happened about 5 times to me lately. And yes it seems that the sellers have learned that as soon as they say it is packed you can't cancel the item and have to wait for the deliver by date to pass.
  11. If there was a god he went insane listening to all the people asking for bingo numbers to come up.
  12. Why highlight only a few of the fatal accidents? You could fill an entire newspaper or news broadcast with just accidents everyday.
  13. Technically you need a license to import medication into Thailand. If the package is small and the value not over 1,500 baht it would probably slip through. I have got vitamins this way, they also fall into the drug category here.
  14. I see gold shops selling 18K gold jewelry. They call it Italian gold. I have no idea whether they will buy it back or not.
  15. You have got to be kidding. Lost a lot of respect for him.
  16. There are a few reasons people keep red plates on their vehicles for a lengthy time. You don't pay the vehicle reqistration fee until you get your actual license plate. You can avoid getting tickets mailed to you from on road cameras. Some people request specific numbers for their plate. It can take up to a couple of years for that number to come up sometimes if you are very specific about the first number on the plate. (this can only be done for krueng Thep plates but you can get them even if you live in another jungwat.) Status symbol. Also when you have red plates you are also given a book with it. If you are traveling through different jungwats you are supposed to fill it out before hand with your travel details.
  17. It's a good snake to have hanging around. I've seen some pretty large ones where I live. My next door neighbor had one in his yard and called Rescue to come and get it. When the rescue people were catching it the snake hissed at them a little. They started saying it must be mixed with cobra. DOH!!!
  18. henna tatoo on his hand: 1 Turn pump on 2 water plants 3 turn pump off
  19. You don't need to be in yellow book or have pink ID. I have never had them. You can get a residence certificate from immigration for free. Or get an address statement from your embassy for money. Any hospital and some clinics will do the medical certificate for you. If you have a valid license from another country you will just have to watch a video, lasted about 45 minutes. And do some vision and reaction tests.
