Crazy Noobie

In my final years I plan on returning to my home country. I was born in my home country and I'll die in my home country. Plus I feel I might have a lot of medical bills toward the end of my life and in my home country my medical/healthcare is 100% free. This way I can make sure my son receives all of my money, instead of giving it all to a Thai Hospital.

My family has lived in 4 different houses over the last 8 years and NEVER had a problem with getting the FULL deposit back. I always leave the place in better condition then I receive it. I also don't rent from "fly by night" type landlords. To me it is important to have the right landlord as well as the right house. They go hand in hand. Anytime I had a issue with something, the landlord has always been there to fix whatever. And out of all of the expats that I know, none has ever not received their deposit back.

Sorry to hear that you have Barretts Esophagus. I do not know of a good place in your area to recommend. I would think that a hospital like maybe Bangkok Hospital would have an expert in this area. You say you are getting your 5 year check-up. I would recommend that you have it checked on a yearly bases and not wait so long in between check-ups. I had Barretts Esophagus, but since I only checked it every 5 years it turned into cancer of the esophagus. The doctor said if I had it checked yearly they could of caught my cancer earlier. I had to have a major operation and had my entire esophagus removed. My stomach was relocated to the top of my lung area and then connected to my throat. It turned my entire life upside down. So stay on top of it and get checked out more often. Good luck.

My answer to your question is a BIG YES!!! Get the vaccine. I was dumb and didn't get it. I had shingles a couple of years ago and it was pure hell and the most painful experience I have ever had. I was in pain 24/7 for an entire week before it slowly started to go away.

Instead of going the flower direction. I use a Disposable CBD Vape which is THC-free. The brand is "CBD Monsta". I use the 500 mg CBD. I take a few puffs at night and sleep like a baby. And it relieves me of all joint pain, too. It comes in assorted strains. I buy the OG Kush. Most major Cannabis places will sell it. I usually go to a place called, GO-Green to buy my stuff. Give it a try, I think it is what will help you.

Wow, so many directions where BTC is going. I am a chart-man, as I look at the past to give me an idea of what the future direction, could be. Of course, nothing is set in stone. I have kept to a simple method on when to buy and when to sell. Look at the last 4 halving events. BTC hits it's highest between 13 to 18 months after halving. Then for the next year after it takes a dive downward. So I buy BTC during the year after it peaks, as that's will be the lowest. Then I keep it and sell it when BTC peaks between 13 to 18 months after halving. Let me show you when I sell: Halving. Peaked Days from Halving to Peak Nov 2012. Dec 2013 13 months July 2016 Dec 2017 17 months May 2020 Nov 2021 18 months Apr 2024 est: June to Sept 2025 est: 14 to 17 months Of course I am no expert, but I wanted to share how I make large sums of money with BTC.

Trump is TOO OLD to run for President. USA should have a age requirement, no one over 70 years old can run for President. We need younger leaders with fresh ideas, not old leaders with ideas that have and still don't work.

I wish I learned the Thai language and invested in crypto before I came over.

My main account is with Bangkok Bank, my money for saving is with K-Bank and my healthcare money is with SCB. No problems with any of them for the last 8 years that I have had my accounts.

As for me, I started exercising and deleted sugar & salt from my diet 100%. And the other change is I smoke cannabis every night now.

Two down and a few more to go...

A big "NO"...

I just completed this quiz. My Score 10/100 My Time 138 seconds  

I am sorry I should of mentioned that. I am on a retirement extension with a non O

My advice would be go to the bank you want to bank at, with your passport and try and open a bank account. Then you will find out exactly what that bank's requirements are. I can tell you, it seems all of the different banks have different rules. I went and opened a account at Bangkok Bank and I had to show my passport and lease agreement, that was it. A few days later I went to K-Bank (green one) and all they wanted was my passport, nothing else. There was no other paperwork needed. Good luck.

I go to Laos for my VISA run and they are a three business day turn-around. You must make a appointment online. On day one, you will be turning in your paperwork in the am, then day two nothing, and then on day three after 12 noon you pick up your Visa. I checked and Vietnam is the same now too. I believe all Thai Embassy are doing the 3 business day turn-around and you must make a appointment. There is no fast way anymore. When I go to Laos, I have to add a day before and a day after for travel, so it is a five-day thing. You do know, instead of asking your questions from all of us here in the forum, all you have to do is go to the Thai Embassy's website for whatever country you want to go to for the latest info.

It is just a movie, not based on facts. It is not a movie to show the good things about Thailand, as that wouldn't go with the "Hangover" story line.

Yes, I buy them at Tops in Chiang Mai all of the time. Same brand as in the USA. They have corn or flour, whichever you prefer.

I have been looking for the same tomato soup and yes no one has it. So I investigated even more and found out that the company Cambell's has had some major issues with producing their soup line. There was some big lawsuit over the water they were using and so on. They closed some of their major plants that produce their soup line. From what I understand they have outsourced some of it and their other plants started picking up the slack. The company says everything should be back to normal within the next few months as they increase their soup production.

Here's a thought, try using Baby Shampoo. As we get older, you are right things change with our body. Before I could use any toothpaste, but now that I am older my mouth has become sensitive and all of the toothpaste out there burns my mouth. So I tried Baby Toothpaste and it works perfect. I found a lot of the baby products solves a lot of issues for older people. Give it a try, what do you have to lose?

A 40 year old, shouldn't be interested or thinking about hooking up with a "teenager/child". This is Thailand and there are so many girls out there, that are not a teenager that your friend can have a "friendship" with. And then there would be no age issue at all.

Can I ask a question? Why don't you use what most non-profit organizations use, .org ? I looked it up and here is what I found: .org extension The . org extension is the bread and butter for nonprofit organizations. It is usually used for non-commercial organizations, so even people who do not know about your organization will understand it is not a for-profit organization.

Netflix informed the world over a year ago that they were going to start cracking down. That the account is to only be used at your address. That you can no longer share your account with friends & family that are located all over the world. Basically each household has to have their own account. Yes, if you have your account on your laptop, you can view Netflix anywhere, as they look at it that you are traveling or on vacation. However the email account holder might receive an email asking if this is you. There were a lot of people out there cheating the system and Netflix just finally wised up and is putting a stop to it. Sorry, no more freebies, if you want their service you now have to pay for it.
