Work Permit Photos - can't wear glasses
Crazy Noobie replied to Haddo's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -

I vote they should build the first complex here in Chiang Mai and then see how it goes. -
US Charles Schwab Residency?
Crazy Noobie replied to BKKKevin's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
My account is a basic USA account -
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.

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.

US Charles Schwab Residency?
Crazy Noobie replied to BKKKevin's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
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 -
Money transfer for buying condo
Crazy Noobie replied to Agusts's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
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. -

Easy answer for your question. STOP PLAYING DOCTOR AND GO AND SEE A REAL DOCTOR ASAP...

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.

Sorry I should of said Thai Post, then once it hits the USA it goes into the USPS system. I have sent a lot of packages using Thai Post with NO issues at all.

Most weed prices have come down a lot. The place that I have found to have the best weed & pricing is from: https://prikpot.com/ They offer FREE delivery anywhere in Thailand. As for myself I look for the best weed to get me the "high" that I want, not the best price. Remember, you get what you pay for.

UPS works out cheaper for shipping large items, while USPS is cheaper for sending small items

I say RENT and don't buy. The only time I would buy in Thailand is if I was going to leave my place to my Thai wife or girlfriend. It usually takes over 10 years before you even break even. Also if you want to sell it years later you will not make a profit, as no one wants a "used" condo when there are so many brand new ones on the market. So rent and you will have more freedom to move whenever you want to a better area.

I recommend the Dental Clinic at RAM Hospital. I have tried several and they are the best in my book.

Why Kamala Harris Lost: The Challenges of a Complex Campaign
Crazy Noobie replied to Social Media's topic in World News
As you can see, there are so many different reasons from everyone on why did she lose? To me it came down to only one thing. She wasn't presidential material. She first ran for President, against Biden and several others and she was one one the very first to lose out and had to quit her run for President. Why Biden picked her for his Vice President, no one knows why, as she was useless in that job. When you compare her with other women who ran for President over the years, there is no comparison. Hillary Clinton and Nikki Haley has bigger "balls" then Harris will ever have. The political world is a man's world and for a women to succeed in it, they have to have some really big balls. Harris does not... That's why she lost. -

Thailand Amongst the Top 4 Nations Most at Risk from Severe Flooding
Crazy Noobie replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Now maybe the Thai government will get their act together and start putting in flood control systems. If the right flood control systems (canals , dykes and etc) in place, there will be no flooding in any of the cities. -
I am sorry but you are wrong. VA Disability is just what it says it is: disability. Govt Pension is just that, a pension. Two totally different things. The VA Disability is not taxed by the Thai Govt or even the USA. Whereas, some pensions are taxed and some are not. You would have to check the DTA.

Incredible US banking ineptness
Crazy Noobie replied to jaywalker2's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
When I have an issue with my credit cards or anything that is located in the USA, I call the company during their normal business hours. This way I NEVER get a Call Center. As most Call Centers are used outside normal business hours for that company. Being in Thailand, that means I have to call during my usual sleeping hours.
