  1. It's been needed for mail in or doing it in person for a long time. Perhaps not every office requires it for walk in.
  2. I found out long ago I was allergic to it. I broke out in hives while handling it.
  3. The big question is, is 'Get Drunk for 10฿' still open?
  4. The boat was pulled by a riptide but they were told to exit the water. So where they in the riptide too or not? Something seems fishy in the water.
  5. Looking at the photo it is just off of beach street. The dive centre next to it is right on the corner of the two streets.
  6. I hope they gave the video to the police first and got permission to use it from them.
  7. It basically says it is a history of the registration of the land. The bottom line on your photo talks about property used for.... but the rest is cut off. Does your document have sketch of the property on it? My guess is it may be property given by the government to farm on. I believe these can be passed on to family members. But they are not really ownership documents. The government can take the land back any time they want. That said a lot of this type of property is sold illegally. Land ownership documents have a garuda on it, red, black or green.
  8. I was staying at a resort that had lots of Russians staying there. I was talking to an English guy and told him, "Boy, the Russians aren't very friendly." He replied, "They don't even like each other."
  9. Take the money and reinvest it with a higher percentage payout and pocket the difference for one.
  10. It seems that in my area the local tickets have gone up in price since they started on line sales. I guess to make up for lost sales. That said the underground lottery doesn't overcharge. They will however reduce the payout for certain numbers or stop selling those numbers if too many people are buying them. Much like sport gambling will adjust the odds payout if too many are betting a certain way. Their goal is to spread the bets out evenly to make sure they make their margin.
  11. I drink tap water here at home. However I have a whole house filtration system. Plus the water I drink goes through another filter system. And I properly maintain them. My wife still will not drink it however. When we travel we use bottled water for brushing our teeth too. As has been mentioned most Thai's will brush their teeth with(rinse but not swallow) it but not drink it. Of course that also depends on how the water looks coming out where you are.
  12. Some of the weather apps will show something like Temperature 32°, feels like 38°. Based on the humidity level it can make it feel hotter.
  13. Try these: ตลาดต้นไม้ซอยวัดพระเงิน ตลาดต้นไม้ที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในย่านบางใหญ่ - บ้านและสวน (baanlaesuan.com) ตลาดสมบัติบุรี | Facebook A little farther as you turn on to Highway 9 from 338 eastbound: https://goo.gl/maps/ACV6jpXkPzHaQkKA9
  14. But not all of the traffic in oncoming even when riding on the other side.
  15. I have ate durian and drank at the same time. No problem. Other than durian makes me burp with durian taste for hours afterwards whether drinking or not.

  16. Not all of the Bangkok hospitals charge the same rate either. When my family was visiting my dad got ill. We were in Samui at the time and took him to Bangkok Hospital there. They charged him 5,000 baht just to see an internal medicine specialist. Later when we went to our house in Ratchaburi we took him to Bangkok hospital again. It was only 500 baht to see an internal medicine doctor there.
  17. Many times I have been able to get the Thai price. Mostly by telling them in Thai that I was Thai or sometimes showing them my drivers license. But I have not been to any parks in quite a few years now. Sometimes I tell them my wife is a US citizen but they still give her the Thai price.
  18. Perhaps they should test if holding one in each hand allows them to be used as divining rods.
  19. I wouldn't want a durian bomb falling on my head.
  20. When I first glanced the newsletter title I thought it said she was hit by a large dog...
  21. If she has someones hair in her hand and it is not hers you can at least rule out suicide.
