RIP Ubon Joe - ASEAN NOW visa expert
Chicksaw replied to Rimmer's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
A scholar and a gentleman if there ever was one. -

Sell dollars and buy bitcoins to hedge against the dollar falling 80%? Hmm, I see a GoFundMe campaign coming: Family asking help as Dad loses all in hare-brained scheme. Seriously, dude, don't do stupid things for $25k. That's pisspot money. Millions? Maybe. And the dollar isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Sure a lot of international trade is dedollarized. But is the demand for the dollar decreasing? Is China divesting its $ bond, treasuries holdings? Is India? Is Thailand? Because they don't want to lose money any more than you do? When this starts to happen is when to start thinking. Zero signs as of now.

What the hell is wrong with these Russians?
Chicksaw replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Maybe the OP met up with a couple of exceptions or he was having bad day himself. I like Russians. I have met with quite a few here in LOS and all seemed well-educated and intellectually curious and were easy to talk to. The West likes to demonize them but the hypocrisy is easy to see. -
There is a parking complex within Rajavithi Hospital of which ID is a part. You might call ID at 02-3545222 to ask them if it's available to patients. There are two other options I am sure of: a. The Century Mall is 100m. from VM BTS. Park there and you can walk to ID in about 15miin. Or plenty of motosais. Parking should be free I think if you buy a coffee or something. In any case, nominal charge. b. Park at my apartment complex as my guest for free. I am about 100m from Century Mall so about 20min. walk to ID.

There's more to this. What's the motive? They came all the way to Thailand to murder a music student?

Agree because the OP says So the Thai or anyone next to OP must have been thinking, sh*t, what kind of disease could this coughing fool give me. Utterly inconsiderate of the OP to be coughing in a closed space without a mask.

Re-entry at immigration or airport?
Chicksaw replied to AustinRacing's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
RE counter is after security at the ground level. So you go through the security line like everyone else. But once at the ground level you bypass the imm exit lines which can be very long as well. Re questions above, I got a multiple RE for 3800b at Suvarnabhumi.. So my conclusion is that if you get it at your local Imm off. when doing the extension that's good. If not, no point making a second trip. Just get it at the airport on the way out. Budget maybe 30mins. extra in case there's a line for RE. But I've never seen a crowd at that counter, usually a couple of people. Just don't forget or you're screwed. -
Microsoft Surface laptop - replace battery?
Chicksaw replied to Chicksaw's topic in IT and Computers
I have no intention to try myself. That's why asking for a shop to go to. -
Re-entry at immigration or airport?
Chicksaw replied to AustinRacing's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Definitely get it at the airport. I got mine last month as Suvarnubhumi. As Dr. J says it's in zone 2 after security at the immigration counters level. Look right to the end of the hall and you'll see the RE counter. The line for RE should be short. I had three ahead of me and sat and waited for about 10 mins before being ushered to the processing desk which is after immigration. Processing took a couple of minutes, stamped and done. Bonus: The RE desk stamps you out for immigration as well so no waiting in that long line. -
The top panel has separated from the bottom of my MS Surface laptop. Pic: Diagnosis by 2 local techies: Battery has blown up and caused the glue to fail. Need to replace battery and glue panels together. Make sense? If so, please recommend a place in Fortune Town to go to. Thanks.

Climate denial in many cases seems to be a public pose. See, I am a free thinker, not part of the herd, smarter than you. Mostly harmless. The press gives them inches because crazy sells. But governments of most countries that are the biggest polluters are solidly in favor of mitigation. So that's good.

Oddly enough, reminds me of Al Franken the comedian who become a Democratic Senator. Charismatic, affable and very smart, he did seem presidential material. And then as soon as a bunch of envious Dems piled on him for a very dubious harassment charge, he caved like a stale biscuit, resigned and disappeared into the ether. You want to be President? Stand up for yourself and don't say today you believe something different from what you believed yesterday. Balls. You gotta have balls. Whatever you think of Trump at least the man was/is WYSIWYG. He'll still be tomorrow exactly the sob you hate today. No simpering. No shape shifting.

The drama continues as The Real Housewives take over Phuket
Chicksaw replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Here's what to do. When your wife's asleep stick a pin ever so gently into her side. If she doesn't flinch it means she's made of polyurethane alloy. But she still cooks and cleans and raises children. So saying she's "fake" would depend on the definition. -

Zero risk. As long as you are not in a public space. Example of getting into trouble is working visibly in a Thai partner's business (think bussing tables in a restaurant). Doing favors for friends in the privacy of your home? No problem. Ignore those who try to scare you. They are ignorant or jealous or both. Btw, could you pm me your number as I often get into trouble with my computer. I promise I won't pay you so there can be no trouble that way:-)

Future Park is about 9km from DM, probably 10mins. if you are willing to spring for the highway. It's massive.
