  1. The linked article says "Police examined surveillance camera clips but did not find anything suspicious. The deceased man had walked back to his room at 3 p.m. and stayed there until his friend found his dead body in this room he had rented on Jan. 17."
  2. I see lots of women in Thailand with tatoos. Specially the religious ones that are supposed to protect you.
  3. I opened my SCB account about 10 years ago. At first they wanted to see a work permit to open one. I explained that I was on a retirement visa and was not allowed to work but also needed a Thai bank account to stay here. They had to call the main office and then opened my account. There was some extra paperwork because of being an American citizen. A couple of years after that I went to KTB to open an account. They opened one very quickly and had very little paperwork to do. But I was told because I was from USA they would not pay me interest. They didn't want to deal with the extra reporting requirements the US imposes on them.
  4. Discuss and make proclamations while nothing changes.
  5. There are lots of people in other countries that have the same problem.
  6. You can either start a new Non-O from scratch in the US or come back visa exempt and then apply for a non-O extension in Thailand. There is lots of info on doing that if you search the forum here.
  7. They were probably screaming because they saw they were going to run into a tree...
  8. So what does that say about repair garages ability?
  9. Elevator/lift? Of course in an emergency you could be screwed. But in an emergency stairways are not often helpful here anyway; blocked with garbage or locked.
  10. Actually, "Previously, SHE created a motorbike rental business."
  11. The search engine on both of them suck.
  12. My wife uses the term all of the time to call people, like at restaurants. I always use 'nong' but my wife uses 'nu'. When I asked her about it she said because she is so old and they are like little kids.
  13. So there were 4 of them playing but they are only going after 1 of them....
  14. I was looking at the SCG solar page and at the bottom it says the prices are for MEA only. For installation in a PEA area they add an additional 150,000 baht to the price. It says for additional relay protection equipment PEA requires. https://www.scgbuildingmaterials.com/th/solution/solar-roof This is a google translated copy of the relevant page:
  15. It wouldn't hurt to go talk to immigration and explain your problem. See what they say.
  16. Some Thai banks have foreign owners too. TTB(used to be TMB) for example the second largest owner is ING Bank N.V. with 22.96% ownership. SCB has foreign owners but less than 1% total. State Street Europe Limited owns 2.96% of KTB. Etc....
  17. if, like many think here, his wife cut his throat he would most likely have defensive wounds too. Just because you have your artery cut doesn't mean you die instantly. Very unlikely he would just lay there and accept his fate if he did not want to die.
  18. I think the biggest risk with that is what is the equivalent of 800K today might not be tomorrow.
  19. IPA, India Pale Ale, had extra hops added to it to help preserve it for the long trip from England to India.
