Question about obtaining bank letter from BBL
Lacessit replied to paulbrow's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I am switching my 800K deposit from BB to Kasikorn. I have 800K at both banks for the full year. How long does it take to get a 12 month bank statement from Kasikorn? -
AFAIK any kind of meat or meat product is the only thing banned in luggage by Thai Customs. Thailand has fruit up to the wazoo. I don't understand why the OP wants more. Fruit is usually perishable anyway. Bring fruit into Australia - good luck with that.

I live in the middle of Chiang Rai most of the time. Play golf 3 times a week, eat out regularly at good restaurants. The spaghetti and mango smoothie is at Singha Park. The mussuman curry is one dish my GF cooks for me in the village. IIRC the Singha Park meal for two people was AUD 15. Probably AUD 40-50 as any two pub meals in Oz. I'd agree places such as Bangkok and Pattaya are more expensive. However, Chiang Rai is not the bush - far from it.

Stupid post. Beating only creates resentment, and possibly retaliation when the child grows up. Disciplining a child does not need physical violence. Deprivation - toys, activities, freedom of movement are all effective strategies. Criminologists agree children who are physically abused have a much higher risk of becoming the same as parents, and the child more likely to become anti-social or criminal in their teens. You reap what you sow.

I like the Australian logic of banning semi-automatic weapons. It has resulted in 3 mass shootings in 30 years, compared to depressing regularity in the USA. Medicare and the PBS in Australia covers everyone. The medical system in America is a sh!tshow. We are not so illogical as to elect a convicted felon as our leader. Congratulations, you have attained a new level of posting stupidity.

Cost of living about one-quarter of that in Australia. My GF will take care of me until I cark it. In Oz, any woman would be lining up a lawyer to milk me.

Is Trump's war on academia his dumbest move yet?
Lacessit replied to BLMFem's topic in Political Soapbox
Trump is anti-science. Progress in science is essential for any nation. It's no accident South Korea has one of the world's strongest economies, along with the highest percentage of scientists and engineers in its workforce. Every cloud has a silver lining. Australia will get the students instead. -
Things that annoy you in Thailand
Lacessit replied to scubascuba3's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Being told what the Thai person thinks I want to hear. I would much rather have a truthful answer. -
I always wear long-sleeved shirts and long trousers on flights, as it gets cold in the cabin. I have a light shirt to change into if necessary. I take no notice of anyone sitting next to me, unless they are invading my space. IMO obese people should pay extra for extra space.

Question about obtaining bank letter from BBL
Lacessit replied to paulbrow's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
IMO the posts illustrate how rules vary with offices. I was responding to a poster who said he obtained two statements, including one of the previous month. I did not say a Bank Letter was not required. -

My branch of BBL in Chiang Rai needs one day for the 12 month statement. I update my bankbook on the day I apply for the extension on the Passbook Update machine outside the bank. I have never needed another statement. -

So? It doesn't mean my BS meter is subject to a coriolis effect. I don't know where you live, I am guessing a pond. -

Not all the grand jury indictments took place in NYC. IIRC there was one in Georgia. My apologies. I forgot to put in a sarcasm alert for the slow-witted. -

Of course. Everyone on the grand juries that indicted him were Democrats, so was the jury that made him a felon. -

Shooting the messenger only proves you've got nothing. Australian BS meters are so much better than the US version. -

No more than Trump has paid one cent of the $82 million awarded to E Jean Carroll in two judgments. You've got 30% of people who strain the definition of stupid, and 20% who were conned by false promises. 50% is not "we the people", it's a bitterly divided nation. The conservatives in Australia were annihilated in the recent election. Their leader tried to be Trump-lite, Australians said <deleted> off. -

If anyone thinks the gift of an aircraft from Qatar to Trump comes without a quid pro quo, I have a bridge in Sydney I'd like to sell them.
