    They should have been able to issue you with a new card on the spot. That's ridiculous.

    I would be closing the account, and telling the branch manager why. Obviously SCB is not into customer service.

    Back in the 1980's, I could still do all my own maintenance on my vehicles. I wouldn't mind going back there sometimes. The OP asked how to get around his problem with a sunroofed car, so he is obviously not a fan. Personally, I think people that buy cars with sunroofs are pretentious ( Rhymes with anchors )

    I refuse to have any truck with payment by phone, way too vulnerable on security. I guess it will take a massive theft in the billions for customers to kick back.

    I would only ever use an ATM here outside a bank, in business hours. Which is once in a blue moon, as I usually take my passport and passbook inside to withdraw cash. Easy to skim a card at an ATM, tough to do it with a savings passbook. Color me paranoid. The ATM machines certainly are not rising in Australia, banks are shutting them down hand over fist.

    5 days of the year it rains? You're obviously nowhere near Chiang Rai.

    You forgot the sunroof motor.

    Oh great, something else to maintain. I'll stick to replacing my windscreen wiper blades regularly.

    That might be true for a brand new car, what do you think happens when it is 10 or 20 years old?

    Mae Hong Son has a quiet ambience to it, views from the temple are spectacular. Particularly when a plane comes in to land, and it is below you. I would not want to live there long term, restaurants are very limited. IIRC, the only Western food there is a KFC. I understand Mae Hong Son is the posting for any Thai official or courtier who has blotted their copybook in Bangkok.

    Sunroofs are also quite good at letting water in when the rain gets heavy, which frequently happens in Thailand. The thing about leaks is, they never get better.

    Perhaps you can resolve a question for me. Trump has claimed presidential immunity for anything done while he was President. Let's say his claim before the courts is successful. Doesn't that mean Biden could order a SEAL team to assassinate Trump, and have the same immunity?

    You like being woken up at 2 am? Let me guess - you have BPH.

    I have never been tempted to steal, that's probably why I am not rich. Not interested in rape either, sex with an unwilling woman reminds me of my marriage. IMO we already have aspects of the thought police, when there are clumsy expressions such as African-American.

    In the condo, no idea. It's pretty quiet, everyone minds their own business. In the village, we have one neighbor who keeps chickens. A lot of them. The roosters get into full song about 2 am. Another neighbor has about 6 dogs. They set up a howling chorus for ten minutes at 3 am. The last neighbor is quiet, and trades bananas and vegetables to my GF. His only quirk is firing a shotgun during thunderstorms to ward off evil spirits.

    You mean instead of using them to post on ASEAN?

    Buy a kettle, and boil the water. Cheaper, and just as effective. In fact, more so if the supply is chlorinated.

    Going by the English I have seen posted by several who claim to be English teachers, I would say the OP can teach French, provided he can walk and chew gum simultaneously.

    I re-invented myself when I moved to Thailand 12 years ago. I left Australia because I was stagnating, and did not like the feeling. I would not want to become a psychiatrist. Pathology is good, the patients don't need a bedside manner. I have enough problems understanding myself, let alone other people.

    Most pharmaceuticals here can be obtained by simply showing an empty box of the medication, or a note in writing. If the drug is not available at a local pharmacy, it's because it is addictive or dangerous, e.g. an opioid. Then the only resort is a hospital pharmacy, after getting a doctor's prescription. AFAIK Viagra ( Sidegra ) has always been available over the counter here.

    Who remembers programs such as MINITAB? Apparently they are still a going concern in system analytics. A steel mill I worked for in the 1970's had computer control of the hot rolling process, data was punched out and read using paper tape.

    Have you noticed males are quite willing to spend vast amounts of cash in pursuit of a female posterior, whereas the reverse is quite rare?
  23. Lacessit
    Of course it is.

    Thailand is not a country where people with disabilities are catered for, they have to shift for themselves. Or, as the OP has said, have a Thai family to assist them. My GF's brother can only walk a few steps, he has one of those three-wheeler electric scooters, and an attentive wife.

    IMO it's time to pull the plug when one no longer has quality of life. Physical as well as mental. Mens sana in corpore sano. I have already availed myself of several miracles of modern medicine, and accept my luck may run out at any time. The light emanates from my GF's posterior in equal measure. Thank you for your good wishes.
