  1. You've never heard of dye? How long have you lived in black hair Asia?
  2. Colds and Flus... We've known about the different strains of flu for many years. Makes you wonder why they didn't get better distinctions; bird flue, swine flu, avian flu, influenza viruses: A, B, C and D. Human influenza A and B viruses cause seasonal epidemics of disease (known as the flu season). I wonder how many times the common cold has mutated and why we don't hear all the hodge podge of different variants. We have certainly gotten a bit of an education (if you've been paying attention) in the past 18-20 months about virology.
  3. I think Ubonjoe and DrJack are most likely correct. I think they 60 extensions will continue until the borders open (and there is no 'quarantine') and visas are available in the neighboring Countries (Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia) without having to quarantine. IMHO
  4. No expert, but I think you'll find Malaysia has more than Thailand. They celebrate Muslim, Christian and Hindu/Buddhists religious days plus many 'State'/Federal Government holidays, too. Also, half of Friday is a not spent 'working'.
  5. I'll bet they went to California... That would be right up Gavin's alley.
  6. Ah, you must be talking about all the vote buying PT does upcountry... Personally, I hope they never win again.
  7. No, and I've used Wells Fargo and Chase. I now use WISE and am sad I didn't use them sooner. NOTE: I tried to USAA, but their method was much too cumbersome. They want the info via voice instructions.
  8. I concur with the former PM. The flood was not her fault. It was the bureaucrats who spent all their time kowtowing to the 'new' government and didn't pay attention to their jobs and the water levels in the reservoirs upcountry. Then Thailand had a number of tropical storms sweep across Vietnam & Laos in short time frames, which dumped large amounts of water into those reservoirs. Next thing you know the sluice gates were opened and here came the water. No place to put it, especially when the Bangkok Governor closed his flood gates to protect Bangkok (which was his job). Her and Pheu Thai's big crime was the rice price fiasco.
  9. Yeah, really, he should have gone to California via Mexico. No worries there, just leave the ID at home and speak a little S. or C. American Spanish. Comprendai?
  10. Interesting comments and thanks for the subject. I've a car back in home country, which has been sitting for most of 3+ years. I 'may' go back in March and will face the same concerns; although, I changed its oil and had the transmission serviced with trans-oil change before I left, hoping to cut down any settling 'sludge'.
  11. Private, yes, secure, yes, peaceful, yes!! I live in Pathum Thani in a gated village near Thanya Golf Club. There are 4-5 villages off of Lamlukka 71. Three are 'gated' with security. There are a few foreigners living here, but mostly middle class Thais. (and some rich Thais).
  12. B itch, b itch, b itch.... All you guys do is b itch. I think maybe you were not here 10 yrs ago.
  13. Then do everything possible to keep 'em all alive. (not complaining, just an observation)
  14. Unless it's from a news source that the so called 'fact checkers' deem to be 'poor quality' or spreading rumors.
  15. Maybe, but 1-1/2 years is in some worlds a long time from now. In others, it's just a blink. 17 months ago there was no COVID19 (known to the world, just the CCP and the bat lady).
  16. Your wife 'might' be able to get the loan, if the bank/shop will accept your guaranty of the loan.
  17. Absolute rubbish. I had no problem getting my wife one even though she has no job in Thailand. But, she owns land, has a nice bank account and a 13 million baht house. She's not going to stay in the USA. Sorry for your troubles, but don't blame Trump. Good luck with your application; although, the border is open.
  18. It is more hygienic to take the shower before entering the pool. It removes natural body oils, sweat and other 'potential' things from your body (crumbs, hair, buggers ????, rug fibers, dirty, etc.). If you've just had one before coming down, you can politely explain that to anyone, like the polite man who approach you at the condo. No way would I be upset or defense with someone who approached me. It just means they care about the place and the facilities.
  19. While the Government agencies in charge ran around kowtowing to the new Government and not paying attention to their jobs. All of a 'sudden', it was oh <deleted>, the reservoirs are full. We must open the gates and the Bangkok Governor said, not through my City and Province. It was just an absolute failure by the bureaucrats not taking care of their business.
  20. I'm also hoping someone knows of a company doing this in Thailand. @Longwood50Let me know if you ever get a yes answer, where and who. The other comments where nice, but won't solve 'my' problem., and maybe not yours either.
  21. @ubonjoe Pathum Thani immigration was closed on Friday, 24 Sept, too. Do you know if it will be closed on Monday? Anyone??
