Interesting. Are you following the crypto market 'closely'? (My son and his friends apparently lost a bunch of Baht & USD). Fortunately, although it's a lot to my son, he only lost around $2K, but his friends lost a lot more $20k+ (yes, USD). Sad.

Still open?

Our son has left the roost and the wife is rarely home, it seems, but she won't consider selling. No, I wouldn't stay here in our 'village' (more of a suburban neighborhood), but I'd look for something with similar amenities. We have a 'solid' 24 hr security team and the monks, police and/or vendors don't roam our streets. But, it's not a 'great' place for a lone 69 yr old man. I'd move....

HaHa... War weapon.

And the Baht goes down...

@Aim415 Perfect Place 2 near (RIS) Ruamrudee International School (or any of the Perfect place housing villages are right up your alley). I would suggest you go visit the school and speak to some of the teachers who can give you a lot of information about finding the better priced/reasonable properties in the area. Don't be put off by the Ramkhamhaeng traffic. They're building the sky train on that road and it's going to be bad, but there are alternative routes. Go soon to see the teachers because school finishes soon; although, many will still be here for summer school. Personally, I live 17 km East of the Don Mueng airport, which is a bit out of your suggested range, but a great place to raise young children. Tanya Thanee Home on Green, Lamlukka 71. We're very near Thanya Golf course/Country Club. Good Luck

Use your hand, grab p_nis and squeeze. No one cares.

Can you imagine what the US political parties would be like if the same "moral conscience" was implored?

Bulldung, this has not been a hot April. I can tell by the 'temperature' and the monthly electricity bill, which is about 2500 baht lower than last year.

You'll be fine. Follow Ubonjoe's instructions and advice.

You did notice that Rocket Man quit lobbing rockets and missiles (and testing nuclear devices) into the Sea of Japan when Trump was President. Trump knew where things were and who to talk to when needed and never did call the PM of Australia that guy down under...

They need to stop all the <deleted> at the airport. Loading you on buses to take you to the F concourse so you can walk all the way to the Immigration booth. STUPID!!

And you live where? All the Thai's I know use them, which is why Big C sometimes are out of stoke for the cheaper brands in some sizes. (That's my experience).

Well, you didn't say what area, but Buddy's Bar & Grill on Sukhumvit, Soi 22 are open from 8am-2am. Buddy's Bar & Grill Phra Khanong (located on Sukhumvit between BTS On Nut & BTS Bang Chak) closes at 12 midnight. Buddy's Bar near the Pullman on Silom, they close at 11 pm. There are more Buddy's Bars, just google them.

We use to have the same problem in Southern Wyoming driving to Rock Springs. Good ol' Jimmy dropped the limits to 55 mph, which was a sure fire road sleeper speed. If you didn't drive 70-80 mph you'd be holding up the traffic.

You tell 'em, Richard!!

Working his way up to compete with Joe Rogan. ????

I don't know about Pattaya, but I recommend the Ramkhamhaeng Hospital group when it comes to excellent Doctors at the lower pricing. Are they in Pattaya? I don't know and, yes, they have bad Doctor's too (as all hospitals do). If you've decided to seek medical investigation and possible intervention, you'll have to try more than one Doctor. That's my recommendation. (Oh, and the prices at Ramkhamhaeng vs someone like Bumrungrad, unbelievable cheaper).

Nailed it!@herfiehandbag And to be honest, I suspect there are a lot of Pheu Thai and other high ranking members of other parties that don't support this government who are benefitting. Just because they are not the PM or cabinet members doesn't mean they aren't at the trough, but still complaining.

@highlander403 I got into the same loop (multiple times) when I first tried to apply. I seriously don't know 100% how I got out of the loop either. I had to change my flight schedule and was not looking forward to using the website again, but after 2 tries I was in... I just tried to get in and had no problem. Go to https://tp.consular.go.th/ and click the box for "Air Travel" assuming that is your method, read the instructions that 'pop up', then close the instruction with the X in the right corner. A new page should open which will have choice for Non-Thai Nationals, (don't click the box below regarding language of Thai or English). After clicking the box for Non-Thai Nationals another pop-up will come up that says. English Language. (It's a stupid step since there are no other options). Nonetheless click that box and a new page will come up asking you to choose the plan that's right for you. Your IN.

@billd766 No dude, it was well known by the insiders and 'no one' was ever held to account. I hate the NYT, but good enough for this discussion. https://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/27/world/asia/78-arrested-in-thai-protests-suffocate-in-crowded-trucks.html

A newbie, UJ. Do you think he followed all that??? @bluebananaGive us some indication if anything helped. Ubonjoe, Dr.Jack, etc. do deserve a thanks, at least.

If you go to South & Southwest Texas it sure as hell is.

@Socheng Thanks for the report. I wish I would have seen it earlier, but I've been 'behind' in reviewing my ASEANNOW emails. I doubt you'll read this in time as I go tomorrow morning to the Phnom Penh embassy, but... How long was the line? Were there a lot of people applying? Answer this if you don't mind even if I'll miss it. There will be others who will appreciate the info.

Tough question, but I think it's just a LUMA thing for the age. I'm ten years younger, so I haven't crossed that problem. Good luck. Try APRIL. I saw that @Sheryl uses them, so they must be good. And she gave you advice in previous message.
