  1. 6 million baht exchanged at 32 gives you $192,000. I think I could buy a decent car for that kind of money.
  2. I have been in Thailand for 9 years now and I used to think the same thing. Until my farang friend from the USA won the Thai lotto jackpot last year. He used his winnings to purchase a house and buy himself a new pickup. From that point on, I have been playing the lotto every month. So far I have only won twice and won a total of 6,000 baht. I know it's pure luck but I like playing.
  3. I think they are just starting to enforce their laws, not sure though. I know I had to remove my glasses for my passport photo. I checked my home country driver's license and I also had to remove my glasses for that id, too. Even on my Thai driver's license I had to remove my glasses.
  4. I vote they should build the first complex here in Chiang Mai and then see how it goes.
  5. I had the same issue and found out it was a pinched nerve. With therapy for 3 month the pain all went away. Except the numbness in my fingers never did and it's been over 10 years now.
  6. You can buy ramipril at your local Boots pharmacy, without a prescription. I can not remember what the price was, sorry. As for myself, I like buying my medicines in person then online.
  7. I have a Charles Schwab account for over 8 years now, all of the time while living in Thailand. I gave them my mailing address in the USA and my resident address in Thailand. I went ahead and googled your question, here is what google said: Can I open a Schwab account if I live abroad? You can have a Charles Schwab account while living abroad. US expats can invest in American markets with Schwab. The firm makes US dollar-based accounts accessible and filing taxes easier. Checks and debit cards denominated in USD can be used, and there are no fees for ATM transactions anywhere
  8. I transfer every month (9 years) from Chase Bank in the USA here to Bangkok Bank by swift and they charge a FLAT fee of $40, no matter what the amount is. I transfer it in dollars, so that when it arrives here the bank code is FTT. Which means it was transferred from outside of Thailand. If I transfer in baht, then the bank puts a different code which means it was a domestic transfer, which is what I don't want. As then I have problem with immigration when it comes time for my retirement extension. I have always receive decent exchange rates.
  9. Oatmeal with two slices of wheat bread and a full glass of cold water.
  10. Easy answer for your question. STOP PLAYING DOCTOR AND GO AND SEE A REAL DOCTOR ASAP...
  11. I don't buy computers, laptops, tablets and so on from Lazada or online. I like to go directly to a computer store and buy one. I like the hands on part of it. Then I can check it out and make sure it is what I want. They can answer all of my questions right there. I have picked up some real good deals. Everyone to their own thing.
  12. Smoke a "joint", it helps me to relax my fast pace mind. If not, then maybe get interested into a hobby to help get your mind off things.
