  1. Just to be clear your 90 report date has nothing to do with overstaying. For overstaying only your permission to stay date matters.
  2. It was actually the motorbike that caught fire not the sidecar. Good thing it happened before he started fueling up.
  3. Think about this logically. If she did not give them the info then they already had it. If they already had it they didn't even need to call to take the money.
  4. People like to bend out over the balcony rail to get a better view. Most of them are too low here. You're center of gravity moves to the wrong side. Being drunk(if he was) doesn't help.
  5. I hope the driver that caused the accident is actually charged and made to do more than make him put some flowers at the funeral and say they are sorry. They looked like a nice couple. RIP.
  6. I had some but it was stollen
  7. You can go out and have fun with friends without making it a religious thing. I do.
  8. Once they realized how much these groups were making they determined they weren't getting a big enough share.
  9. Vacuum sealing the rice may work too.
  10. When you buy it there may not be any bugs in it that you can see. Most of the time they have eggs in there that you don't see and they hatch later at home.
  11. find him a hungry family in eastern thailand
  12. I believe the law here is that if you bring money into the coutry that you have had for at least a year it is not taxable. I don't think they ever really check that is the case either.
  13. Fast fix. Get something flat like a thick piece of plastic to cover the drains when not in use. Can put something heavier, like a bottle of water, on top to help hold it down. Better fix. Change the floor drains to ones that have a flap on the bottom that close when no water is draining. Keeps odors and critters out. There are 2 types. Those that use a spring to keep it closed and those that have a weight flap. I like the spring ones better, they seal tighter. Just saw a third type on Lazada that uses magnets. No experience with those. Global house sells some or on Lazada.
  14. Just be aware that the gold bars in the jewelry stores here are almost always 96.5% not 99.9%.
  15. It says those 2 have already left Thailand. I hope they go after the woman who hired them to attack her.
  16. Looks more like she is making another mound...
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. in general it is illegal to shoot someone when they are running from you and no longer a threat.
  20. Most insurance here covers the vehicle not the driver.
  21. So why not go after the suppliers instead of the restaurants?
  22. Thai time: I'm just about there. Two hours later they arrive.
  23. 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.
  24. 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?
