Not much use having two of something if you did not have four of something else.

When it gets back to 18,000 baht, I'll get excited. I sold out at 25,000. The OP is reminiscent of the stock pumping that goes on in sharemarkets.

Please wash your mouth out with soap. Not far south of King Island is Cape Grim, which has the cleanest air in the world, and hence is used as a baseline for air pollution. There are probably so many additives in canned cheese it's surprising consumers have not grown an extra eye, or whatever.

This is real cheese, not some plasticized obscenity.

You obviously have not thought about what ghastly processes were used to get the cheese into the can, and then propel it back out.

When on a station, I used to make garlic yabbies with rice and cabbage. Everyone came back for seconds. Cabbage is at its best when infused with other flavors. IMO boiling it is barbarism. Nothing salacious was meant, although I do wonder about toad in the hole.

Being Australian, we always have front when dealing with Brits. You are probably unfamiliar with billy tea.

A nation which has cold pork pies and cabbage boiled until it is grey as examples of their culinary mastery????? Next, you'll be telling me spotted dick is cordon bleu cuisine.

I've been in America multiple times, and did not see any tea which was not in a teabag.

I have no idea why, but Earl Grey tea gives me a headache. Bog standard Lipton's does not.

IMO the charges were all about preventing him from becoming PM, and will be trotted out again if he looks like succeeding.

My solution is having two places to live in. I'd say the split between the condo and the village is 75:25.

I have never been asked for money up front in either a private or public hospital in Chiang Rai. Bangkok Hospital in Chiang Mai wanted money up front for a check cystoscopy. 18,000 baht, fair enough. I keep 500K baht in an account separate to the 800K, specifically for medical emergencies. During COVID, I was in quarantine for 14 days in a Thai provincial hospital. I was not charged a single baht. IME Thai public hospitals are quite inexpensive, although long waiting times are par for the course.

An American scientist has outraged the British by suggesting their tea would be better with a pinch of salt. https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/us-news/2024/01/25/us-brews-storm-tea-advice-uk?acid=3976399 One British poster has responded by saying Britain does not need advice from a country that makes cheese in a can. In Richard McKenna's novel, "The Sand Pebbles", mention is made of America's favorite drink, coffee, being made with a pinch of salt, so-called black gang coffee. As an Australian bystander, I await further developments.

IMO the bank can only force you to leave by changing the locks, which might require the co-operation of building management. If they give you notice to vacate, negotiate for more time. Point out it is in their interest you take care of the place until you leave.

I don't understand how any bank can freeze a joint account, if the survivor is the executor as well. In any case, the bank would not be capable of freezing an account until it is informed one of the account holders is dead.

The WHO classifies things as carcinogens when the statistics say so. Such as being 20 times more likely to die of lung cancer if you are a smoker, compared with a non-smoker. I am not a temperance advocate, and have enjoyed moderate amounts of alcohol in the past. There is another reason for stopping alcohol. Combined with some medications, it can be very damaging to the liver and kidneys. Over-the-counter paracetamol is one example. Cytotoxic drugs are another.

It seems that this forum has many members who are intellectually challenged. Hello to the OP. Rocket science is not required to understand the traffic police apply different rules and fines to foreigners than they do with Thais.

AFAIK probate for a Thai will is about 6 months.

Nan is too quiet, the choices in terms of Western eateries are very limited, and there is only one hospital. Apparently it only has one golf course as well. Pass.

Both Kamagra/sidegra/viagra and Cialis tend to lower blood pressure. It's likely the spinout effect will be present with Cialis as well, except it may last longer. Proceed with caution. Cialis at 280 baht for 10 pills is almost certainly a copy, even Apcalis is 800 baht for 4 pills.

Our account was with Bangkok Bank, it may have helped I already had 800K on deposit with them. IIRC the process took about an hour, and I got writer's cramp signing the usual reams of paper.

IIRC, it was Mr Meeseeks.

I have a savings passbook in my own name, and my GF's. I can draw on it alone, so can she when I am in Australia. Is that not an either/or account?

It's not when the person is not insurable without bankrupting themselves. Try getting health insurance for someone over 75, with pre-existing conditions, and you will see what I mean.
