Tricycle with hard tiresno need for spare....

had the 90 check in stamp for next check in 30days later.

luckily I looked at it before walking out the door. Was quickly

corrected. These things happen sometime everybody is human a

error once in awhile. 

I’ve seen a number of foreigners who have upper and lower body strength knock out Thai  Muay Thai. Those that won over powered

with upper strength. Which looks like the Thai weren’t accustomed to

Multiple head shots at once. 

Recently it looks like when Thai are fighting a foreigner there prepared 

for the head shots and defend properly.

video didn’t play and can’t tell is its traditional boxing or MT. One guy 

looks to have some type of shoes on.  

In US it happens on some items. If your frugal compare the prices and decide which one fits. McDonalds has the so called value meal and in some cases buy the value pack or each separately and the price is the same. 

Thought that Mackro and those types of stores would offer discounts on bulk buys but not really the case on 

items I’ve looked at 

I have used IPhone and IPad for many years. Once two years ago wanted to buy something similar and comparable to a iPad. Mostly price reasons.

Bought it hated it the operating system/functions drove me crazy gave it to one of the kids.

you might check Apple store. I needed a new phone and saw an article 

when the “X” came out and said if you  need a new phone and not the “x” look at iPhone 6  or many changes. Bought new at USD 1 year warranty and one year  if you break the glass free replacement. 

Same story from a business associate.... except in Mexico. It actually happened for a few years until he made an unannounced visit to bring a new flat screen home...

sad but true 

The cc are relatively small here unless you want to throw money into a bike. Had a R15 you could go through the corners fast and smooth. Sold it now have a Legend I’ve not even tried to take it hard in the corners because it gets sloppy at normal speed in corners

They can get into "waterproof" electrical boxes so a screen isn't going to help much.

 

They don't like mothballs, so a few of the big ones in strategic locations may help, or a car cover.

 

Their poop is bigger ?

 

Our electric water heater in the bathroom box is closed one got in there 

making it not work. Opened the box he fell out a bit stiff and hot water works again...

You up in the Northeast? Familiar story but different singer....

I'm a millionaire buying a $50k piece of land for a $25k bargain price from my wife's cousin.  We're going to build a little house ourselves, and her mother is going to build a second home for herself.  Think of it as a vacation home for us and security for her mother.  I think my life is worth a lot more than 25k.  So many utterly clueless posts and not a coherent answer.

 

The overall mentality of people is simply incredible.  Thais are like everyone else.  Some dishonest, most utterly trustworthy if you know them.  The idea that everyone is out to cheat/rob/kill you is ridiculous.

 

 

Well done! Your are 100% correct not everyone is out to get you/us we can say sometimes it happens but not put everyone under the same umbrella.

I ran out of fuel a couple months ago a little shop was nearby did hand signals and he knew what I needed. Gave him 100 baht and his worker 

went and got enough fuel to get me to the station not far away. Gave me my change I tried to get him to accept a tip. He wouldn’t do it. 

There are good people in the world 

Yesterday in front yard dog was playing with it....kinda

Hopefully you’ve been to the village several times so no culture shock.

I like it out here 

Had to look up Forza looks like a good bike. Up here near Udon Thani 

have yamaha, Honda dirt bikes a bit pricey. Have seen a couple places 

sell a Chinese brand but would be concerned quality for long term use. 

Take a look at GPX see attached. I’d have the Legend street bike for

2-1/2 years. Only problem was speedometer and front fork leak which

were bth replaced at NC. 

The first NO extension in BKK I used an agent because I didn’t know the

process neither did my wife. It was costly if I remember correctly 30,000 baht. 

The he next time with the help from the forum I did it myself in Udon Thani near where I live. Follow the advise given on the forum it was easy and painless. Paid the fee don’t remember what it was left a 200 baht tip all done. 

Now when I go for 90 check ins and another extension they remember me I’m polite leave a small tip 200 baht No problems l

It’s a nightmare when a few tour groups are in front of you....almost 4 hours once

Many members on TVF find Issan  somewhere in the sticks to offer everything they could possibly want or need.

 

Ahhh ha ha  guess ive not been around here ..... I did see some beaches, lake a few times by was an hour drive away. I live near Kumphawapi which is a nice quiet own. I like it but I’m also a redneck southern born 

and raised....

Could be foreigners pay process has additional requirements 

and reason for one day delay

or Foreigners pay rate is higher and needs additional approval 

easiest way to find out ask your employer 

Never had problem at BKK except for the long lines that move at a slow pace. 

DMK the middle aged IO took a  very long time looking at my passport which had the extra pages added and 95% full.

I’d not been out of Bangkok but maybe 3 times I’m on Retirement visa. 

It seemed she was very through  or looking for a reason..

Whether arriving visa exempt by air at all is prudent depends on the history of your previous visits to Thailand over the last three years, and especially the last 12 months. Definitely carry cash. It is easy to do, and eliminates one possible cause of trouble. Return/onward flights are unlikely to be a factor with immigration, but your airline might insist on one before allowing you to check in.

I booked a flight to SIngapore two different airlines. One for going and other for coming back. The airline for outgoing called after I booked and questioned why no return ticket. It was due to schedules which I told the and it was ok. 

If your concerned look on Apple website for Customer Care fraud? 

They may ask you to send a copy of email.....

i had had a worse cause last week. Email started out I know some of your password and user code. Both were correct but I’ve not used them

in long time. It gave three options two which would make them do something to all your contacts. 

one was demand for $7000 USD to stop the problem...

Don’t ever recall getting ripped off at 7/11.....it probably happens but fortunately it’s not happen to.......

ive been robbed by gun point in the US... karma got the two robbers

1 - died in minutes when leaving the store. Shot by police. 2 - Other one ran but eventually got caught and probably still in prison..

 New passport USA you get a letter to immigration to transfer.

Original NO was in BKK and now live Undon Thani tranfered

to new Passport in Udon  o issues
