There is a thai guy in chiangmai that hit me a couple of times a day for the last six months who is trying to get money for a fare to Lamphun, 19 km down the road.
LOTFLMAO. What do the yellow or white Songthaews charge? I know it's 15 baht from in front of the flower market to Sankhampaeng. -
Good for you!

Not yet 50 when I applied the easy access worked out for me.
I have condo in Chiang Mai and go there frequently. I don't work in Thailand. It was never practical for me as a US citizen to get tourist visas, would have involved getting a second passport and applying to LA embassy by mail. My job requires almost monthly international travel, can't without passport.
Now I hear people with valid tourist visas are turned away. That would be ridiculous.

Not solid? Then when heated on a gas burner you make a frag grenade! More evidence lack of basic education in the physical sciences is a safety risk for Thai people.

I was in Lafayette, CA about 25 years ago when a fire in the Oakland hills burned 3450 homes and killed 25 people. It was caused by a homeless person burning toilet paper.
California fires ( in high mountain areas) often start by lightning. This one almost certainly human caused. Probably another moron throwing his lit cigarette butt out a car window.

Could it be beacuse of air bubbles or other manufactured imperfection in the "boules" that they explode after extended heating? Do they bowl with asbestos gloves on?

Thanks for the "helpful" comments which I can rip apart with ease on numerous fronts. I was going to actually provide a helpful response/solution I found today but seeing as these forums are filled with people like yourselves, I won't bother making this forum better by giving a good answer. Keep making useless comments thaivisa! Won't be coming back to this forum thankfully for myself.
Please don't go so soon.
If you follow most other threads on Thai Visa you will notice certain user names whose submissions consist entirely of baiting and passive aggressive/ad hominem attacks. This behavior has been noted by researchers to to fall within the spectrum of psychopathy. These tedious contributions can be largely avoided by using the "ignore" function on the user control panel.

In 2012 the Colombian government decriminalized the possession of up to 20 grams, and personal cultivation of up to 20 plants, of cannabis. -wikipedia (medical use of weed also approved)

No, but, as PM, she did make a mysterious state visit to Montenegro. Since Thailand has virtually no trade or other contact with the country the only plausible reason for the trip was to sign her citizenship papers and pick up her first Montenegrin passport against a rainy day, which has now arrived.
Big brother reported to carry Montenegrin one also. St. Kitts and Nevis, etc. There are many pay to play citizenships available around the world. Republic of Marshall islands (visa free travel to America) was flat out selling passports to Chinese until somehow US put the kibosh on it. -
The decision to bail might have been recent. However, Everything was structured in advance. Remember they could not find any assets to freeze?
"Nicaraguan Diplomatic Passport", Millions in overseas banks. No country will extradite her to a Junta to face political charges under such a judicial system. Probably already has the Villa in Dubai decorated to her tastes with closets pre-stocked with clothes.
Put the kid in a Swiss boarding school he'll Ski for Thailand in the Winter Olympics.

I had a "dead" SIM a couple months back. iPhone was displaying "no SIM card installed" Rubbed the SIM with alcohol using a pencil eraser, then let it dry, that fixed it.
Blasted the SIM slot with canned air also.

More like 32ºC.

A stable webcam, clear picture. Parking lot view, could be nicer. (for example something higher facing Doi Suthep).

I have experience working in Texas, the Gulf Hurricanes are bad in unlike Pacific Typhoons they don't just pass through. This one hit with CAT 4 winds went inland hit high pressure, moved very slowly or stalled. Houston is very flood prone and under torrential continuing rain from the outer bands. Texas Hurricanes can then go back out on the Gulf gather more strength and loop back in to hit again like Allison in 2001.

I know a guy in Corpus Christi, he has been offline a while. The storm hit Rockpirt with solid 130mph winds. I went through a typhoon, with max winds of 80mph, that was terrifying.

Freeze her assets. "we can't find any". Day of verdict. "Sorry I'm calling in sick"
A closely monitored person somehow now "flees" a country under strict authoritarian control.
80 years of coups, exile or imprison the elected leaders for corruption.
All a bit of Kabuki theatre not at all surprising to those well read in Thai political history.

I don't know what kind of sedation used but I had all 4 pulled at once when I was about 20 (US), impacted
and threatening to mess up my bite or become infected. All I remember was a little "rock and roll" and crushing noises then waking up in back of car. Chipmunk face and a little pain about a week. Had to go back for a follow up to get the tooth pits checked and irrigated
Countries have different Medical standards and practices. Some based on dubious necessity. US doctors are shocked for example that Japanese are subjected to chest x-rays at annual check-ups. X-rays are only given when medically necessary. There is no "safe" level of ionizing radiation. Get a small injury stitched in Thailand you will be prescribed automatically a large bag of antibiotics. Not needed, possibly harmful.

When Trump's indictment comes out from the Mueller investigation he will make a deal so he or his sons avoid jail.
Then he will declare victory and resign.

I have found that many people who start out with nothing and become wealthy are extremely generous. The one who grow up rich and never accomplish anything the cheapest tight wads.

The only ones with access to the baggage carousels are disembarking passengers and airport staff. Surely thieves would not go to the trouble and expense of booking and paying for a flight with the gamble of stealing a bag undetected and which may then only contain 2nd hand contents having little resale value.
Yes sounds fishy. I don't get stuck in long Immigration lines so when I check a bag to BKK I'm the first one who sees it come up the belt.
I did read a story a few years ago about how thieves buy cheap domestic tickets in the USA to steal laptops and other valuable from the overhead locker while the victims are right there but not looking.
