  1. Twice in the last year I've seen a China lady squatting on the Soi in broad daylight taking a piss. Hope they holiday somewhere like India where pissing anywhere is accepted. Yuck!
  2. One more option for moving large cash sums that I've never seen mentioned here is Bangkok Bank. Online banking offers to transfer up to 2 million baht via Swift or Prompt Pay. There is a fee, about 400B if I recall.
  3. I'm having difficulty getting outbound mail delivered to Canada. Sent 2 first class airmail letters almost a month ago. Neither has arrived. Mind you it could be Canada Post is the problem.
  4. Bull sharks are among the most aggressive but are not hard to identify because of their bull head. Too bad she wasn't aware. Poor lady. One in a billion chances of that happening.
  5. Suck it up. All insurance companies pay 50% of what they owe. This is particularly true healthcare insurers. Ultimately your only recourse is to sue in court but don't hold your breath. You are most likely to spend good money on a lawyer and loose in court. Rigged game.
  6. Only used an agent once. Went there based on a recommendation from a reply on this forum. Got ripped off for 7,000 Baht. Didn't see it coming before I was preyed upon as the scheme was elaborate. Live and learn.
  7. Phaya Thai hospital in Si Racha has been my worst nightmare. Had two, yes 2 stiches removed there. In attendance for this highly dangerous and life saving procedure were a Plastic Surgeon and two nurses. It took all of two minutes, if that. They charged an obscene amount. Had an operation there too. Insurance only paid half because of what they called inflated prices and un-necessary procedures. Never going back!
  8. It's my opinion that there are no fair and honest vendors in the phone business at Tuc Com. I learned my lesson buying a new phone at one of the alleged Samsung phone dealers. Got scammed quite badly.
  9. I flew to Vietnam last week and returned a few days later. Used the E gate upon exit and had no problems returning on my re-entry permit.
  10. No. I've looked in duty free in a dozen or so airport terminals. None of the vendors had it. Most never heard of it. Same with Drambui for my Rusty Nails. Uggg
  11. I was just quoted $25,000 Cdn funds to remove a kidney stone at a hospital in Sri Racha. That was the minimum price. The private health sector in Thailand is ridiculous. Thieves, all of them in my opinion.
  12. Flying out of Thailand soon. How much Thai Baht can I legally take out of the country in cash.
  13. Heading back to Canada soon. Can anyone tell me if it's legal to take 1.4 million Baht out of Thailand as cash? If there is a limit, what is the maximum amount I can take with me as Thai Baht. Thank you!
  14. If they enact this tax, I'm gone!
  15. My pp got soaked and the ink stamps ran plus some water got under the plastic film on the identity page which blurred the photo. Canadian embassy in Bkk said it was fine. I had it replaced regardless.
