  1. Which will all lead to more unlicensed drivers on the road. Which will mean more uninsured drivers on the rood.
  2. Well the restaurants that get orders online like grab or food panda get hit quite hard by the charges. To make money on the order they either have to charge more or give smaller portions than what you would get eating there.
  3. If you are talking about chains like Boots and Watsons they charge more than the local pharmacies. Part of it probably has to do with having to pay more for their space in a mall.
  4. Change the regulation and then do nothing anyway.
  5. I would imagine the gas station has video of it.
  6. I guess you are correct. I misunderstood this:
  7. Both Pfizer and Moderna have already done so but it is going thru testing/approval right now. And even if they become available in other countries by then will Thailand once again drag their feet in obtaining them?
  8. So they are giving them to girls who for the most part are not menustrating yet but not to those who are. Makes sense.
  9. I prefer going places when it is not a Thai holiday.
  10. I read on a shipping site that customs exemption was for items less than 1,500 baht and less than a kilo in wieght. Unless they contain prohibited or restricted items. I try to keep packages small and light and never have a problem receiving them. The exception to the exemption is when your package arrives with UPS or DHL. They like to create problems that don't exsist. In my experience UPS is the worst offender. But I read others here saying DHL is bad. I have had many packages arrive with DHL no problem at all. A couple of things DHL sent me an email and said they needed a copy of an ID, a description in Thai of the item, and a purchase receipt copy. But I received them no problem after that. UPS has on a few occasions demanded that I either mail them my passport or bring it to the customs office at the airport to get my package delivered. Once was for a box of candy canes.
  11. If they do pass this they can also work out dual pricing on property taxes.
  12. most pharmacies carry senna products here.
  13. About 4 years ago we were staying at a hotel in Nonthaburi. My wife is somewhat claustrophobic and doesn't really like going in elevators. We were on the 6th floor or so and decided to go down the stairwell. When we turned to go to the ground level floor there were boxes and other junk completely blocking the door. So we had to exit on the second floor and take the elevator down.
  14. My wife kept getting called with a recorded message. Something about people were reporting problems with her phone and she needed to contact them to fix it.
  15. She had the food delivered and didn't have a bowl at home?
  16. It's an optional field. You could leave it blank if you wanted too.
  17. If you look at the side panel it list one ingredient. Whole Soy Bean 100%
  18. Yes. I am on Schwab One International account. I don't maintain an address in the US.
  19. She got up at noon and found her mom dead. Police were notified at 1:30???
  20. They wouldn't have to tell me I don't have to eat there. I guarantee I would not.
  21. Schwab charges no fees and they also rebate you the Thai ATM fee instantly. There is no limit to the rebate allowed per month like some other banks do. Also add: One thing with the Schwab debit card. You can take out $1,000/day BUT only $500 at a time. If you try and take out more than that they will lock your card until you contact them. I found that out by accident the first time I used mine. Just want to add: Never take the exchange rate the ATM offers. It is the biggest fee of all. Always select 'continue without conversion' or whatever your bank says similar to that.
  22. Well OPEC charges Asia more for oil than other regions. They probably should look for alternatives. It might at least get OPEC to give them the same rates as other regions.
  23. I see them around my home for a couple of weeks and then they disappear for about 3 months and come back again. They must migrate some. Thai name: นกกะรางหัวขวาน I just say nok garaang Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) (thainationalparks.com)
