  1. looking for recommendations for 3" or 4" GOOD QUALITY memory foam topper ( brand name, specifics, price ) if possible. Hopefully from persons who have actually purchased one recently ( like in the last 2 years 🙂 . Homepro or Central would probably have best quality ...... but any other ideas ok thanks,
  2. "self evident" no longer exists for an amazing number of humans . and that number is ever growing. stop living in the past TBL ! haha (btw.... i just spent a month in bang saphan. still quiet and very peaceful )

    any recommendations for a brand or specific place to buy a good memory foam topper ?
  4. well, i believe the creative thinkers giving us covid "information" have, after being "baffled" by cases such as yours, come up with the newest unbelievable explanation . Those who have had ongoing problems after being vaxed... but long before getting covid......... are suffering from PRE COVID symptoms ! Yep. pre covid . that's it .
  5. What is widespread (and worldwide) is the slow but sure increase in billionaires , the ongoing controls being implemented on "ordinary" workers/citizens, and the sands of freedom being washed away into the ocean of one world order. Every new dictate and demand to make us show every detail of our lives , as "they" pass by go and collect money from the masses does not go down well with me . But, just my personal feeling, of course. Sorry for adding this off topic comment..... but i did give a pertinent one previously 🙂
  6. I rarely get involved with the assorted issues people have at CM immig...... (as you can see it turns into a real circus. the comments. and everyone is "an expert" ) but...... here is my experience as of 2 months ago. I am on retirement extensions, and have fixed account which i leave untouched , for years now . NEVER an issue or question.....BUT THIS YEAR , even with an appointment, they wanted me to go first to the blank blank guy at the window at ground level . He looked at my papers , which are same as always , and then hits me with the Bull that i need to go to bank and get a record . Trying to talk to him was useless so i did not argue ....but i went upstairs and asked at info to speak to an "officer" . Talking to a "helper" will not work. An officer came over and in polite talk I said that i use a fixed account (showed my book, she sees my balance remains the same) and she told me i do not need any "other" info or form. The next day when i went to my appointed time the attending officer , different than who i asked the day before, started to talk about the bank form ( no, not the letter we always have to bring about proof of funds) .... and once again i say it is not needed. The MAN who presided confirmed this and that was that . I even asked for the form the guy below had talked about and the presiding officer said "NOT NEEDED" . I left it at that. note: i speak pretty good thai, do not raise my voice (but i might have shown a bit annoyance . very hard not to as the blood pressure raises haha) . Anyways ..... the guy on ground level seems to refuse to accept what i just relayed here concerning people using money in the bank method . (and probably many agents do not understand it either)
  7. short people i can put up with . I just hate anyone who is bald, fat, or has different color eyes than myself . So, probably i would hate you
  8. It is always easy for us to give that "advice" to others . hahaha but, it is the truth . Of course there will always be a few Rambos here that think they will "win" in a fight . And maybe one or two do ......
  9. I have lived here ...... and witnessed and/or read these "stories" over and over . The advice given by uttradit ( obviously for those men NOT already in the OPs situation) is by far the best of any other . Lawyers, usafructs, blah blah blah . Putting a lot of money in others name puts you at their mercy , plain and simple. And you are on their turf .
  10. I love Samsung but find the ones i've had to be a bit noisy . Maybe the latest models are better ? Or, anyone bought a Fridge recently that is QUIET ? what brand do you guys like ?
  11. i follow pretty much the same procedure . i keep a one year term acct every year so i don't ever need any additional info, just the letter and update the balance at that time. (bring copies of all pages of passbook , not many since i do not make withdrawels) . They want to see them, but give them back to me. Same with copy of yellow tabien bahn. ( and i bring the kitchen sink in a seperate folder ) . I have a new passport, so only a few pages to copy..... with the transfer stamps and current extension. Thanks for the input ...... we are getting to be real "oldtimers" , lol , but i do still manage to get it together for the "big event" every year. The online appt is a blessing .
  12. Hi Bob ..... the last post i see on Retirement extension requirements is from last April. I am about to do my umpteenth extension , but never sure if there are any "recent" changes . Would you be good enough to put up a current list ? (letter from bank, photo and form, tm30, adress ( i use yellow book) , copies of passport ( i do all pages ) , tm7 90 day, ... am i leaving out anything ? TIA Rumak
  13. very good decision . google censors anti pharma stuff, but you can find info ( and user comments) if you try hard enough. start with big nok link
  14. it is much nicer WITHOUT the constant interruptions. For me 159 baht/month is a bargain ( but, for others thats one less large beer ) .
  15. for anyone still offering suggestions.... i did try most of them before starting this thread. for someone NOT already subscribed to youtube premium ............. the link which Rolf supplied opened up a very CLEAR and Simple choice page . I clicked on Individual and that was it . free one month.... email confirmation sent....... https://www.youtube.com/premium NOTE: now that i have premium , if i click on that link it does NOT show all plans, but rather tries to move me to family plan ( click on "see all plans" no results)
  16. works like that on gf phone....... but no option for that on my pc profile . thanks, i got it by going to link provided earlier
  17. If they are replacing the left hip .......... make sure they know if that is the one when lying face down or face up .
  18. Ralf ......... you have hit the jackpot ! So simple when one can find the darn site . I had typed in Youtube premium in Thailand but just got many other ads or whatever. So, "trial month" then 159 baht/month . ( we use true money wallet , so even credit card safeguarded _ thanks for your help rumak
  19. how about telling me how you got to subscribe LOL
  20. many members here (thailand) have it ........ i just cannot find WHERE one clicks to get it
  21. that link has no info at all about how to SUBSCRIBE ??? crazy
  22. i'm in Thailand ! 159 baht/month is the cost , i believe
  23. thanks..... do you have a link where i sign up ? my google search was confusing .
  24. Anyone done it recently ? What kind of content is there ? ( just movies and older TV series or ?? ) Is it worth it , and what is current cost . (I want just the basic ...... nothing fancy ) thanks, rumak
