And, so you have these monies from pension in a US bank and send them to Thai Bank, How do you prove they're pension money? There's just so many what if questions I don't see how any of this can be done here.

Exactly true. All the 10's of 1,000's of foreigners who don't know, have not heard a word of this tax thing. I simply find it mind boggling that the Thais can begin to figure out what is owed to the government from foreigners who come from all over the world. Simple things like 12 month extensions are handled differently at times at different locations. I can just see these thais trying to figure out my tax return from home country.

I bought their local ground beef in the tub once, no more. Sometimes I'll buy the packaged cheaper cuts of beef for minced beef.

I don't live in Pattaya, for us we use Makro in Sattahip every 3 weeks or so. I like their frozen salmon fillets, better than Go's. I don't really buy fresh meats at Makro, maybe some chicken feet and pork riblets. We use Makro for cleaning and washing supplies, snacks, canned fish, soups and coffee beans. If I want steak or ground beef I go to our local foreigner market. Even without much meat I can still drop an easy 10K.

Had a look inside, I won't be going back. I'll stick with Makro

Seems the dems are a day late and a dollar short.....again.

Spoken like a true deflecting democrat. The first thing biden did was rescind Trump's boeder policies. Time for dems to take responsibility.

Deflect from a simple yes or no question, seems to be your trademark.

This is news???? So, he's riding around in parking lot for 3 hrs, really??

Be careful someone doesn't lift your wallet while meditating.

I've been given this drug several times when visiting malaria prone countries as was the crew. This sounds suspiciously like fake news.

I believe you posted before about stealing a wallet, now you're leaving injured people without helping. Hope karma finds you soon.

Monthly blood work seems obsessive, that's all. Me, I feel so much healthier getting sun. I don't just lay in the sun, that's boring. But playing in the ocean and beach walks is my way of keeping some color.

Monthly blood test? Are you monitoring a serious illness, sorry to hear that.

Not really your place to tell anyone to stay away.

That must be why the democratic stronghold cities where the migrants are shipped to are crying Uncle because it's unsustainable to allow unchecked immigration. If the increase of illegals entering the US is a good thing, cities across the US should be begging for the buses in their neighborhood. Martha's Vineyard didn't much care for them.

It's sad that it comes to this. biden can't beat Trump on the issues at hand in the US like immigration, inflation, crime. So, Trump uses an offhand word or two that hitler also used and now "he's a nazi? Trump is a nazi!!!!! It's laughable.

Do you think that unchecked numbers of "undocumented immigrants", illegals entering the US is beneficial to the USA? Same as the rest, you leave or add words to change the context.

As said before Cash is King. Bought land twice with cash, cars once cash and the last one with a check.

Even Sakon has it's Mormans riding bycycles around town.

Me personally the only time I might buy coffee is on a road trip or Airports in which case I don't care about cost. I make drip coffee at home. Your comment begs the question, What's the salary line between poor and not poor. Is 25K/month poor? And I know ladies who are in that income bracket who frequent these coffee places daily in the morning, which is roughly 10% of a daily wage. That's like me when making good wages and I spend $50.00 on a cup of coffee, well that would be nuts by any standard.

You answered your own question. Inside door no 1 they have a desk where you can have photo taken 100 baht and copies as needed.

I'm always amazed at how hard working folks spend their money on crap. Especially the wages Thais work for. All my years in US punching a time clock, I brought food and coffee from home, hardly ever, ever did I eat out. So, here in Thailand a guy making 500 baht a day spends 50 baht on lunch, that's 10%, to me that's stupid. The mentality of living life day to day is why so many Thais have nothing when they're old. Much the same as US I want to add. Which is why it boggles my mind when a place like Starbucks is so popular.

Hiding valuables in plain sight works well.

Are you OK? I'm serious, you don't sound well.
