  1. It's not, but if you don't have a state issued Real ID compliant drivers license or ID card, then a passport is one of three alternate forms of ID required to pass through TSA checkpoints
  2. I bought an Ingco cordless drill 2 years ago from DoHome and I find no faults with it. I also have quite a few of their hand tools from Mr DIY.
  3. I drink 1 cup of instant coffee every day and add -1 heaping tsp each of low-fat cocoa and cinnamon powder, with an occasional tsp of ginger powder. Three weeks ago, I had my bi-annual diabetes check-up. My A1c was 5.7, fbs 98, bp 118/68.
  4. I have been using Wise for about 7 years. I have always made my transfers after 10 pm as my US bank's time zone is 12 hours behind. I had always received my transfers within seconds or 2 days. Since Wise started using Plaid to link bank accounts to their platform, it now takes 5-7 days to arrive at Bangkok Bank. My bank isn't listed on the Plaid platform, so it can't be linked to Wise . My transfers now take at least 3 days for Wise to receive my money, even though my bank account shows the withdrawal was processed within the next 24 hours. After Wise receives the money, it then takes at least 2-4 more days for it to arrive at Bangkk Bank. I have called Wise support numerous times, inquiring why it now takes longer, but they have no explanation.
  5. I shop around and compare prices first. Over the last 10 years, I have bought an AC, fridge and TV from Big C. A second fridge, microwave and TV from Lotus and a freezer from Macro. I've also bought numerous other small household appliances from the aforementioned, plus Thai Watsudu and other shops. I guess I'm lucky to have never had a warranty service claim.
  6. I've won $ 2,000 three times in the last 12 months. KrungThai paid out all three without hesitation. They deduct the 30 baht tax. They only pay out for the current draw period. If you win, you have to redeem the ticket before the next drawing.
  7. You can cement a concrete ring on top of the existing concrete and use a round concrete cover (as in the above picture ) but without the holes. This is how I repaired ours.
  8. This is not quite true. Up until 6-8 months ago you were allowed up to 300 ml per container on Thai AirAsia domestic flights.
  9. That's not fresh coolant. Those are the stains of evaporated coolant, which are probably months, if not years, old. Apparently, you have never seen an engine bay after a hose ruptures or the engine overheats and boils the coolant out. The underhood will be wet for weeks if the coolant is not diluted and washed off.
  10. I live in a rural area NE of Mueang Surin and have seen what you describe crossing the road 50 meters from my house. It's dark brown/black with short legs and ears with a tail about half its body length. Maybe a weasel.
  11. Since Wise started using Plaid, which my bank doesn't use, my transfers have taken 5-7 days over the past 9 months. They claim the delay is because it takes longer for them to receive the money from my bank. I call it bulls**t. My last transfer was set up on Jan. 17 at 11:52 pm. The amount was deducted from my US account the same day, yet Wise claims they didn't receive it until Wed. Jan 22. The next day, I received the transfer.
  12. I have had my blood tested at Surin Government Hospital every 3 months for the last 2 years and have never needed a doctor's order. I get a complete profile including A1C, Lipid, Kidney function and PSA for around 1500 baht.
  13. In my 58 years of driving and making new car purchases in the US, I only test-drove 1 new car before purchase (2004 Dodge SRT-4), it and six other new vehicles were ordered and factory-built to my specifications. The car I bought in Thailand was a demo with 108 km and I test-drove it home.
