Try right next door, AE&EK, has a few locations around Pattaya, but IMHO, it is the best quality food for a very low price! Harlan's is at least 5 or 6 times more expensive!

Weird, I thought Nigeria was where all kinds of rubbish including drugs came OUT of, not into!

Sorry to read that you need to transfer those funds now, as IMO the baht is much too strong at the moment. A month or two later, should be more favourable for foreign transfers to Thailand (fingers crossed).

Yes, this delay from Wise has happened recently, but only to certain Thai banks! I coincidentally found that out yesterday, when transferring the exact same amount, at the exact same time, to 2 Thai banks, from Wise. My Kasikorn account received it in seconds, my Bangkok Bank account, next day, after 2 PM!

What happened to the casino? They are still "discussing" it, for long periods of time, just the same as they do with everything else. But the casino WILL come, NO doubt about it, because Thai (especially govt) LOVES money, and the casino will bring in tons of it!!!

About the only thing that keeps me happy these days is day-dreaming about him being run over by a bus, literally.

For those of you dissin the OP, you have to agree he is mostly right, and it is well written too. Many, many wonderful things about LOS, but these are some annoying and sometimes dangerous behaviors.

Save money, and solve your problem asap with a cheap tablet, as britmantoo initially suggested. BTW I bought an ABL smart tv and returned it a day later, way too many problems!

I am hesitating to buy gold right now, hoping that trump gets thrown out of power, or assassinated by one of his maga followers who lost their job, house, and family. And hoping that will inspire re-confidence in the dollar, and the stock exchanges in merica, dropping gold back down a bit. Crypto is new (for me) and interesting, ethereum seems to be solid, as is xrp for a long term large gain, so I am slowly increasing my investments in them.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Grab also advertised this some time ago, TOTAL FAIL! Re LineMan, I WISH you would do your research before printing this BS, because it is simply not true. This is a screenshot from my LineMan App taken right now, and YES, my "settings" are set to show English for everything! Again, it does not work, (yet), only a big advertising blitz to make fools of us farangs!

Wise is not restricted to US bank accounts. You can open a Wise account in many currencies, and many countries. And it is 95% within seconds. Normal swift bank accounts take a couple days. Forget about Western Union, IMHO they are crooks. Huge fees for both parties, and also terrible exchange rates, much time wasted at WU counters to collect funds, etc. etc.

In 3rd world countries (and corrupt ones) there are many furnaces which melt down old iron scrap, and then this is made into the steel bars which are used for construction. These bars made from scrap iron are not nearly as strong as original steel bars, they are full of holes, imperfections and other materials.

Kudo's to the cops, I can't imagine anybody leaving faster that this dude, comitting the crime around noon, and on a flight a few hours later, and STILL caught by Thai cops! Whatever you say about the BIB, they do some things awfully well!

So there are 10 customers for a weed shop in a particular neighborhood. The owner is making a decent living off these 10 customers. 9 other weeds shops open on the same street / neighborhood, (seeing the first shop doing well). Now, you have got 10 customers for 10 shops in the same area. Everybody goes bankrupt. That, in a nutshell, is Thai business sense, seen day in and day out, all over the country!

I just completed this quiz. My Score 33/100 My Time 131 seconds
