  1. It’s been 6 year ish now but as I recall it was fairly complex… cost 100-200 baht tops. Test consists of observation if you can successfully hand over your passport and get money out of your wallet without dropping it…. seriously it does have an expiry so make sure not to wait too long or you’ll have to get another.. I know I had to get second one…
  2. Looks edible… good on you… what time is dinner..
  3. OP is good your taking care of matters and making it easier on family members. My youngest sister (5 siblings) took care everything when my father passed on… it was emotionally and physically tasking and she hopes she doesn’t have to go through it again .. it’s not she doesn’t care but it’s difficult to grieve at the same time. I’ve let my children know my plans when the time comes and both understand… some posters best to ignore…
  4. 16 years old…. A tragedy R.I.P. young man….. children need positive influence and opportunities.. Sad
  5. Went on a similar trip on the loop… on moto it’s awesome way to see the countryside ..our ride was 6 days.,. Me , my son and a guy from Canada… luckily only stayed at one tourist town along the way due to getting dark… You’ve some awesome pictures and story to go with them…. Tha folks ate some of the nicest and accommodating people … really good people. I’d like to go riding up that way again but a bit of a ride from here inn NE Isaan to Chang Mai… thank you for sharing your journey absolutely awesome…
  6. Had to change from US bank (closed account) to Thai bank was done by email to Manila. Only issue is it wasn’t done immediately and US bank sent me a check in the mail from US to Thailand. It took about 5 weeks for the check to clear. Worst part was it resulted in a skipped month for monthly deposit for retirement method. Although IO understood via Thai bank statement one month skipped and two deposits @ same due to exchange rate were deposited the next one it was a no go for monthly deposit.
  7. Went yesterday passport as usual… cop made and sign. Noticed a Thai person in next teller getting cash she has to show ID card and also copy made a signed .. same same nothing different
  8. Well technically you weren’t reading more like glaring… 555
  9. Then we’d have an Elephant, Donkey and one Jackass….
  10. If I remember correctly a couple days ago an article said a town outside of Shanghai had 1 million Covid cases a day. That should keep most people from going there and hopefully no outbound flights..
  11. OP did you try using benefits letter from SSA ( guessing it’s US social security) showing your benefits? couple that with statement from US bank (should be available on internet banking) showing receiving SSA payment and then your transfer receipts to Thailand. Best of luck I know
  12. Requirement is over the top and doesn’t seem feasible….. when o go on long vacations I like to travel around a bit … if a place is enjoyable maybe stay a few days if it’s shiat move cut the planned stay short and go to next destination. most my trips are on motorcycles you can plan a tentative stops but it doesn’t always work out that way… weather.. fatigue whatever plays a. Big part ..
  13. Maybe we will here the outcome … other than that just guessing… could be a Tom and Jerry thing…
  14. Found on the web..
  15. Happy Holiday to you and your Mr. Owl… Enjoy
  16. I go to a Government hospital once a month …. Both Dr. I see speak English as do the their nurses
  17. If they (the people) would quit talking about it ever other second most wouldn’t even notice… people tend to grow mountains out of mole hills… now drunk driving and lack of safety while driving is a real problem that should be adhered to… I’ve smoked pot back in the day and didn’t run out and buy any cause it’s legal or quasi legal…. There’s much much more to get control of than the occasional weed puffer…
  18. Had one jump out of pack when passing on motorcycle… laid it down and slide to stop and he gently put his foot on the windscreen… .. just a tad of road rash on the knee..
  19. It’s the holidays give her a gift…
  20. New Year’s Eve is amateur drinking night…. Serous drinkers beware….
