  1. I have driven with red plates all over this country, including at night. Been stopped at a few checkpoints but never had a problem. Just log the trip in the book.
  2. I have always said that they have no clue here how credit cards work. When you use a credit card, you are actually getting a loan from your bank and it has to be paid back. It is not income by any definition!
  3. I think its related to the type of card you use. My US Visa debit card does not allow automatic conversions so that screen will not pop up. Whereas my MasterCard dibit card does, snd I do get the conversion screen
  4. Anyone here eat real food? Eggs, bacon, grits, toast, coffee
  5. Typical mentality here. Its a freaking school zone! Slow TF down!
  6. Just think of the direct opposite of the rest of the world and answer that way!
  7. A quote from the NY POST is like a quote from Mickey Mouse!
  8. I agree. Have been drinking Hillkoff coffee for many years and have bern happy with it. I usually drink their "peaberry" but have gad their esoresso and it is quite good. You can buy online, but they do have coffee shops throughout the country so check ti see if one near you.
  9. I used my Thai driver's license in the US for several months last year before getting my US license renewed with no problem. No problem renting cars with it.
  10. Actually, the problem is they don't restock th shelves. Just leave pallets and boxes of product in the aisles and keave them there so you csn't get to the shelves!
  11. Is this an advertisement for Siam Legal or did you really get taken for a ride? I got my retirement visa from the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington, D.C. in July, 2011. I believe the fee was somewhere around $200. Very simple, no problems
  12. It really dorsn't matter other than the fact that they both absorb heat and don't cool diwn quickly, adding to the internal temperature.
  13. In my opinion,due to the lack of consistency in water supplies here, brass is the better option. We have well water, and even with the water treatment system, it plays havoc with anything metal. Even stainless rusts, which brass will not.
  14. Because the banks and car companies just care about making money! When my niece graduated from the university a few years ago, and having no credit history whatsoever, her bank issued her a credit card with a credit limit of 3 times her yearly salary. Go figure!
  15. Was this a rhetorical question? Until they start enforcing laws and putting some "bite" into the oenalties, nothing will change!
  16. Exactly what I thought when I read the headline!
  17. You can find CLOROX on Lazada, but its not really cheap. 165 baht for a 2 liter bottle.
  18. Don't know why BOA doesn't send your credit cards. I have both my Thai and US adresses listed on my account with the Thai address as my primary. They send my new debit and credit cards directly here to me. In fact, I just received my new credit card last week.
  19. "Criminal penalties are meant for serious offenses"..........Like picking mushrooms!
  20. Believe it or not! According to the Land Traffic Act, it is illegal for a taxi driver to play his car radio when he has passengers.
