  1. Build one of those bug net enclosures. Like they use for melon farms. They are like a greenhouse but with insect screen instead of solid plastic sheets.
  2. In another 15 years. Yep nearly up. Anyway as bad as Russia had wanted to get him back they should have at least got both of the Americans released.
  3. in general it is illegal to shoot someone when they are running from you and no longer a threat.
  4. Most insurance here covers the vehicle not the driver.
  5. So why not go after the suppliers instead of the restaurants?
  6. Thai time: I'm just about there. Two hours later they arrive.
  7. Only if you have an USA address. I don't maintain a US address or phone number which makes banking from there very difficult. The Schwab One account you can use whatever address and phone number you are using. You have to show some proof of the address such as a utility bill. I was able to use my Thai Drivers license to verify my address. The document used can be in Thai too, they have it translated. I imagine the same would be true with other languages.
  8. You could get a Schwab One International account. You need $25,000 to open an account there. It is a brokerage account not really a bank account but you can get checks and a debit card for it. Their debit card has no fees, no foreign transaction fees, and even immediately refunds most foreign bank fees. Like the fee Thai banks charge for foreign ATM cash withdrawals. Just don't accept the exchange rate the ATM tries to get you to accept. That is the biggest fee of all. So basically with their debit card you can get completely free cash withdrawals in Thailand. You can also link external accounts with them and easily move money between them. Also international wires have only a $15 fee. But when I wire money to my Thai bank they immediately rebate that fee too. So the wire is free for me. It sounds like the money you are making while staying in Thailand is from outside of Thailand. So why get Thailand involved in it anyway?
  9. He'll probably get more punishment for killing the cat than if he had killed the cat's owner.
  10. It only matters what the .00000143% of the country wants.
  11. Total sugar in a product will usually be higher than the added sugar. Lots of the other ingredients can have sugar in them naturally. Label one works out to 2 grams of sugar per cookie. A cookie would be 6.8 grams (34/5). Label two says 21% added sugar. So 6.8 x .21 means 1.428 grams of added sugar. The difference probably mostly comes from the raisins.
  12. https://goo.gl/maps/mHJgYnKKxz6iTcTS7 You could go see Sam Phan Bok too. The longer from the rainy season the better. The lower the water level in the river the more you can see. They are building a dam down river from it and it will probably cover the area all year once completed. I recommend hiring a guide to take you around. They know where all the best formations are. https://goo.gl/maps/Z6FEouWswvZhiqeJA
  13. I just received the same message from them after emailing to them explaining what happened and attached copies of the completed form.
  14. Well at some point you have to realize that this is never going away and life has to return to normal.
  15. I was in Chiang Mai the past couple of weeks. It was extremely rare to see a foreigner with a mask on. Also at least 10% of the locols weren't wearing them either.
  16. I remember back at the beginning of Covid I went to my local bank and they wouldn't let me in. There was a sign on the door that foreigners were not allowed inside. While the wife and I were at the front door talking to the security guard the bank manager happened to see me and came out and told him to let me in.
  17. Maybe if a bunch of people with masks on start robbing banks they will change their policy. Or perhaps they could have you remove your mask at the door for a photo and have you put it back on.
  18. If you have an oven with a fan in it you already have an air fryer.
  19. He bought 8 The most you can win on a ticket is 6 million baht. That would only be 48 million baht.
  20. I wonder who he is related to. 24 winning tickets. I was wondering how many tickets they made with the same numbers. The most I have seen sold as a set is 15.
  21. No advise here. Just wishing that everything works out for future. Best of luck.
  22. I guess he got that correct on 2 points. She was bound and turned up a couple of weeks later.
