Quite a lively topic. 500 was to much if that is even just 1/10 of an hours wage. I would have told the collector that of all the religions in the World what I like about Buddhism is it's not a forceful religion except for the morning chants which need to be stopped. But so sorry I don't follow any religion and So I'm sorry but I donate to causes of my own choosing. Op needs a bit thicker skin. I recall the birthday, or retirement collectors bake in my company days. Typical donations were 1/20 of an hours wage plus you could eat some cake. Be a leader and gossip about some of them in front of them and then tell them the gossip is silly and should stop.

Microwave?
Elkski replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
The Thai style of leaving rice sit out overnight is a high risk for bacterial growth. Not sure what a hob is but a microwave is great for heating Thai leftovers and rice. Warming syrup, https://www.foodnetwork.com/healthyeats/healthy-tips/2020/04/is-it-safe-to-eat-leftover-rice -
Interesting.

Twitter user growth remains steady. Anyone who ever worked at a company with 70k employees knows 30% need to go. Look at zuck laying off 11k at Meta. I read twitter has offered some laid off workers their jobs back. I'm won6hiw many visa workers will be exiting the US? And how these tech layoffs will effect the housing market? Employees are probably hired post Elon with new contracts with new wording. I read He is demanding 40 hours work in house or he considers you are resigning. New ownership is the perfect time to lay off people. Your sort of immune from lawsuits, the economy hasn't looked like this in 4 decades. Charging for the blue verification seemed smart to me. But like Thailand he didn't think about all the details. Some of these people really benefit in financial ways. 8$ or 20$ is nothing. Not exactly sure why the advertisers are pulling out so much. I read it started with one big ad agency pulling all it's customers ads. Is it this related to Elon's comment that he may restore Trump's account? Hope he will restore mine. Twitter was really a good COVID news source in Feb 2020. I was subbed to some of the doctors saying this was a big deal. I flew through Shanghai Dec 26 19' was deadly sick Jan 2-7 in BKK. Still felt a bit off Jan 25 when I returned via Seattle the day after they say the first US case arrived in Seattle. I had brain fog for 2-3 months year before it was a thing. I spent hours a day reading about this emerging COVID. Just wished I did the things in my 401k that I thought about in late Feb. It is going to be interesting to see how this Twitter saga goes. For those who never used Twitter and followed a couple hundred important people you can't understand how it works. Do I think the Russians influenced "the" election via Twitter as a tool? Yes I do. Go Elon I wish you the best but just don't get to conservative on us.

It's an exchange,. How was it ever worth 20 billion? Hope we see some serious jail time for the crook who often visited the White House. Oh yeah that's normal.

Microwave?
Elkski replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
You can now get 1 that bakes, microwave, convection bake, and air fryer. Air fryer is healthier than frying in oil. Great for leftovers. Don't you ever have lol leftover rice? Or stuff. It reheats foods great. Air popcorn popper is better. Those microwave bagged popcorn are expensive and don't ysst so good. We bought a counter model for 200$ I removed the one above the stove. Needed a vent hood to outside for her cooking. -
On Tuesday I asked mom how she thought the election went for Trump? She said we need more people like Desantis. And my pothead hippie bum almost ex friend is text bating me at this moment how the orangutan was the best president ever. I just can't understand it. The great divide remains. I agree Biden is losing his mind. We need to have a top age limit of 70. The age of politicians has never been so different than the average population of America

Thais abroad warned not to buy fresh fruit to bring home
Elkski replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
We hadn't planned on bringing more fruit than we can eat during travel but was thinking of turkey jerky. Not a large amount but sometimes it's a nice snack on a cracker with cheese. I guess meat products not ok and what about cheese? -
I'm wondering if the extra fees go to some sub contractor who developed and or is running the website? Common in USA. Example is Utah hunt draw system. 5$ fee per . 3 million additional profit is pretty nice bonus for someone. Reduced paper and labor costs . Is an improvement concept but I will still bash Thailand. It must be related to Apex.

Extension of the 45 days on arrival?
Elkski replied to coralia's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I guess you mean airline at home country and then airline at visa bounce country? I am guessing tourism is up as wife and I are coming. Will get the 2nd booster today. Wasn't going to trust government but brother and family just got COVID. Doesn't sound fun. We are staying a bit over 45 days. Planning to fly to Siem Reap under the 45 days. What sort of record do you need to show as proof of flight. Just a screenshot of confirmation page? I won't be extending but what is a tm7? 150 days hmmm. Would sound nice missing the whole winter, but that would run into delightful spring and all those gardening things needed. To do 150 days one would have to do the visa run prior to March 31, 2023. But still could get 135 days for trips beginning before March 31st. https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand-visa/thai-visa-exemption-and-bilateral-agreement -

Why see her because a 40+ woman who attracts a man half her age must have that look. -

Is this possible for a married women to get palimony from an affair? Doesn't sound like they even lived together. Would like to know some specs on her and a face picture. Wonder where she was going on the train daily. This kid sounds like a rich kid and she wants some money. -

Government’s new liquor production edict only benefiting brew pubs
Elkski replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not sure the latest rules when it passed are but the initial bill had numbers that would protect the monopolies so their influence was proven. I doubt the passed bill is much better. I'm all for home brewing and brew pubs. But one better not brew more than he can afford to drink or give away for free or the exe will surely fall hard -
Sad. RIP. 2 injured children parent less. Such a preventable tragedy. 2 issues here. Dunk driving of which Thailand is surely 30 years behind the Western countries. It can't happen overnight. It takes lots of educational announcements, strict enforcement and penalties. And seat belt use. This will take 20 years to catch up. Big problem is Thailand has let it's economy expand with it being accepted that families of 4 or 5 only need a scooter. Or trucks can haul people. Just look at the trucks in Bkk with 30 workers being hauled to construction sites from the camps. One widow I dated who had bought a new truck with cash, (courtesy of the American father of her 3 children) let her 3 children and 2 dogs ride in the back of her truck with a topper. I tried to stop this but failed. I couldn't even get the kids to buckle up when they ride in the cab. I think it's almost hopeless.

Best App for English to Thai Translation
Elkski replied to looplaw's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I used to use and paid a small sum like 8$ for "ttalk" to upgrade from free version. It was great for a few years. But it didn't transfer when I got a new phone and I can't find it in the playstore or read about it. I need a new app Update maybe I just found it but it's here. Anyone know about this portal? Xapk apk file name?
