  1. Tell him to become a monk. Of course that doesn't always work either.
  2. Looking at the photo he must have really been disturbing all those people sitting at the tables behind him....
  3. You could have her fill in her information on an online tax site and see what they come up with. I use olt.com. Federal returns are free. OnLine Taxes at OLT.COM - Federal and State taxes Online
  4. Market crashes are normal and a great investment opportunity.
  5. Many businesses and home owners here feel they own the street in front of them. Many blocking it off to prevent people from parking there. It legally is not theirs but there is no to little enforcement of it.
  6. We pay our housekeeper 350 baht a day. She works 5 days a week. I have had about 5 different housekeepers over the years. The first one we hired cleaned really good but was stealing from us. A few we let go because they didn't do a good job or refused to do things how we wanted them done. It's really hit and miss as far as getting a good one goes.
  7. Wait until there is a somewhat major earthquake in the Bangkok area. When I am driving under the elevated freeways I see lots of the supports with cracks in them. I know it is somewhat normal for concrete to crack but I still keep wondering if any of it is significant damage.
  8. I don't normally go for such things but the number 14 had been stuck in my head for about a week. So I went and bought all the 14's from a local vendor. 18 tickets in total. I cleared 33,520 baht after the cost of the tickets and the price for cashing them in locally.
  9. I was once on a Malaysian Air flight and got my breakfast which had a glass of orange juice with it. I had taken a drink from it. Then ate some more food and when I went back to take another drink there was a cockroach swimming in it. I think the roach must have been in the tray and climbed up into the glass. I showed it to the stewardess and she took the glass and never came back. You think they would have at least offered to replace the drink.
  10. Perhaps he can get a doctor to testify that she had an existing condition that would have caused her to die that day anyway. That should significantly reduce any compensation. (I was once on a jury in the US. A woman had been placed on a stretcher and it tipped back while she was laying on it causing her to slide off. Her head hit the wall right at floor level and injured her neck. Part of the hospitals defense was having a medical expert declare that she had a pre existing condition and her neck would have gone out the same day anyway.)
  11. Thai social media: Good morning, look what I ate, Good night.
  12. A Thai teen on a motorcycle lost control on a curve and ran into my truck. I was never blamed for it. His family had to pay my insurance company 25K for the damages.
  13. Some of these crypto lenders were definitely pyramid type schemes. I looked at several that paid a higher interest rate to depositors with a lower loan rate to borrowers. There was no way I saw that working. Anyway the moral of the crypto story is to keep your assests in your own private wallet. Not someone elses.
  14. If you use a reliable visa agent that works with immigration everything in your passport is legal. There have been some visa agencies though that don't actually go through immigration and put fake stamps in your passport. Also some that just take your money and run.
  15. It would probably be more accurate to say they discovered the farthest galaxy away from us at this time. There are most likely many more galaxies beyond our current detection range.
  16. When I read the title I went into shock and the wife had to take me to the hospital.
  17. They better get Dustin Hoffman here real quick before they have to bomb Phuket to contain it.
  18. Bands have been touring for awhile now. Get over it.
  19. The current vaccines don't provide much protection against the newer variants. But perhaps they still help with the severity of them. Pfizer and Moderna will have updated versions available in a few months for the newer variants. But when those will be available in Thailand is anyones guess.
  20. The closest Makro to me is 24 kilometers. When you shop online it shows the prices. After you pay online you also get an email listing each item which also shows the costs plus a little picture of the item too.
