I know what I think but what do you?

I think it's going to rain today, now let me know what you think 🤔

You should have your topic heading related to your topic. 

I've got better things to do than open up every posting to read topic

Those older apartments had glass louvered windows next to the front door, she probably has a daily sneak peak.

Wonderful, that HODLing has paid off.

BTC was once very high risk with many financial intitutions against it.

With the Blackrock, and other,  EFTs coming in a day or so, we can safely say, Bitcoin has WON :)

When I signed up with coins.co.th (2015) the maximum purchase was less than 10 Bitcoins.

Over the years I've been buying more Bitcoins with any extra money I'd have once finishing my monthly hitch working offshore. 

Sadly I invested about $100k with Mycryptowallet, the owner of this Australia company embezzled, now we have liquidation trying to get our money back. 

I read somewhere, many years ago the owner of Mycryptowallet received an award for young Australian of the year.

your an expert at that? Wayne ?

Expert in the gym, I agree, been going for decades.

I'm not sure if we have any experts here in masterbating, 

I'm still middle aged, I thought it was weird, an 80 year old talking about self pleasures 😂

Many years ago I would train and exercise at Tony's gym, life member (LOL). 

 

There was a guy (south African) that used the gym regularly. 

 

Most mornings I'd ask him how he was doing, he'd reply, saying, I woke up checked my email and had a pull (masterbate). 

 

 

 

I forgot to mention that he was nearly 80 years old.

RE purchase

Does it really save that much time putting caps lock on typing 2 letters.

Not typing in the full word is a little strange.

Back on Toipic I would simply like to know why some people prefer to invest in something that only exists as a mathematical complicated password, basically. Hoping that the next fool  will buy the "complicated password* for 1 Dollar more.

I bought many Bitcoins for around 10,000 baht each back 2015. 

I've done well, next question. 

BTW, we all have our unique querks and features, I'm sure if you open up I'd see a few irregularities in your behavior.

Previously we'd always have a chorus of gasps from horrified cupcakes who couldn't hack it in the fleet. Page after page of disgust at the idea of eating meat covered with dirt, flies, insecticide, snot, and phlegm

Sure there's been the odd negative, bitter comment regarding the above but  I can't remember reading any of these comments recently. 

You're always going to get the odd miserable member commenting on AN forums.

Always happy to entertain. It's a shame you weren't able to share your wisdom on the topic, I'm sure it would be immeasurably helpful.

I never offer advice on relationships nor do I ask. I understand there are those people in the world that look for advice on relationships. 

I was a big fan of Jerry Springer, lots of weird people with weird stuff on his shows that kept me entertained, I would often view after mowing the lawn. 

He probably never helped these sad people but old Jerry (RIP) made alot of money.

Always a good idea not to wear white in Pattaya if you are going to upset the locals.

Let's see how long before this thread is closed down. 

There was a religious (Jesus) thread closed early yesterday.

Hi chaps.

 

Be grateful for your thoughts on my situation. I live in the UK, never visited Thailand. Met a Thai lady on Tinder. She's a single mom lives in Bangkok with two kids, works for a government ministry. Originally from Isaan. We've been video chatting for a three months now, and Ive booked a trip to Bangkok later this month to meet. I'm 53, she's 38... would be way out of my league in the UK. She speaks good English and is quite open that she's looking for a European partner, and dated a few European guys in the past, has a lot of friends married to European guys. 

 

She ticks a lot of boxes for me, she's smart hard-working and straightforward. I understand that a big part of her attraction to me is financial, as she's wanting a good education for her kids, and up to a point I'm okay with that. I'm probably about 5 years away from retirement here, and wouldn't be averse to moving somewhere warmer permanently. Got no real ties here, divorced and kids grown up.

 

I guess I am just a little bit wary about being played. I'd be interested to hear from anybody who has been in a similar situation, any red flags to look out for, other advice, thoughts, etc? 

I'm seeing more and more of these threads asking for help regarding relationship on AN forums.

I reckon Admin should create a DEAR ABBY section within the Thailand Chat Forums, be good weekend reading after mowing the lawn. 😎

Its a kiwi article you attached. No truth to it. 

Just import from Australia, we have lots to offer.

assume it must depend on the agreement between the seller and the buyer but I wonder if the average Thai minds accepting cash as part or full payment for a property transaction

Over the many years visiting the land office, I often see large amounts of cash being counted out upstairs at Suksubai. 

They have a few large tables upstairs for this purpose. 

Some people prefer cash, it happens everywhere not just Thailand.

JJJ is good to listen to, I podcast Dr Karl every week.

I rang a friend this morning on WhatsApp who now lives and retired in Bali 

I was surprised to hear in the background Australian talkback

Radio station going with the hourly news read 

 

And it got me thinking when I do move to the Philippines or Thailand or Cambodia or even Bali would I bother to keep up with news in my home country?

 

When is the stage you stopped caring?

Stopped being interested 

Weekends I listen to 4BC, the 2 Murray's and The Continuous Call Team. 

Facebook I follow a couple of news channels news.com.au. etc.

These Facebook followings keep me posted. 🇦🇺

Only turn on the TV to watch NRL. 

I download lots of podcasts these days.

hundreds of people with funny walks on Buakhao on any given day

I reckon its due to their lack of exercise. 

Most of the guys on Buakhao with funny walks are not exercising regularly, the body starts to stiffen up.

That and other health problems, overweight, diabetes, etc will affect your ability to walk freely. 

The bar girls on Buakhao call out to these guys walking, yelling sexy man but sadly most are dead man walking. 

Some people are so strange, I've got mates, clever guys, PhD's, Masters but they self abuse by smoking and eating poorly.

I went to a well known private hospital last week for yet another minor procedure.

I paid the bill and yet again was told to wait to collect my medicines. I used a debit card.

When I collected the medicines, yet again, I was prescribed pain killers and anti inflammatory tablets. This is in spite of me telling the doctors 'please only prescribe must have medicines'.

So, I complained to the pharmacist who very nicely said sorry and offered to have them removed from the bill.

Back to the cashier where she said that she had refunded the monies for the first bill and I then paid the money for the second (lower) bill. Again, using the debit card.

Next day, I downloaded the online statement. (A lot of transactions go through my bank account.)

No credit for the first payment.

So today, back to the hospital for a follow up after last week's procedure (the urologists are only there on Saturday and Sunday)

I took along a copy of the bank statement since last Saturday. Still no refund.

I then asked the staff at registration to find out why.

Response after a short wait was 'it takes up to a week for the refund to come through'.

I pointed out that today was the eighth day.

'It could take longer'. was the reply.

A debit card transaction takes the money from the account immediately.

A credit has a delay.

 

Back to the heading. Who has my money?
Is this standard practice for all debit card credits or just this particular hospital 'taking its time'?

 

Your question should have been posted in 'banking' or 'Thailand general' for more coverage. 

Who has your money?
