Wise v Deemoney
Paradise Pete replied to poppysdad's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I use Wise to transfer from my US bank account to my Bangkok Bank account. Typically it takes less than a minute to arrive. I've never had it be more than five. I tend to transfer only US$1,000 at a time. Perhaps with larger amounts it's different. -
Where can one get an AstraZeneca jab in Bkk? Should I bother?
Paradise Pete replied to ubonr1971's topic in Bangkok
Statistically you're better off with the vaccine. People can go on and on about "the jab", but we have real-world data. Play the odds. -
Many do. United States: Each state has its own laws concerning bail. Generally, bail can be granted in murder cases unless there's a risk the accused won't appear for trial or is a danger to the community. Canada: Bail is determined by a judge and can be granted in murder cases depending on circumstances. However, for serious offenses, it's more difficult for the accused to secure bail. United Kingdom: Murder suspects can be granted bail but it is less common due to the seriousness of the crime. Australia: Like the UK, bail can be granted in murder cases but it is less common. India: Bail in murder cases is generally difficult to secure due to the severity of the crime, but it's not impossible and is ultimately decided by a judge. South Africa: Bail can be granted even in serious crimes such as murder, but the accused has to provide compelling reasons why they should be granted bail. Brazil: For serious crimes like murder, the accused usually remain in detention until trial. Germany: Bail is not commonly used in Germany. Instead, a judge may order pre-trial detention if there's a high risk of flight or if the person is suspected of a serious crime like murder. France: Like Germany, France has a system of pre-trial detention and supervision, and bail is not commonly used. Japan: Japan's system allows for pre-trial detention, and bail can be granted but is less common for serious crimes like murder. China: Bail in China (known as "Qubao Hou Shen") is typically used for less serious crimes. For serious crimes like murder, the accused are often held in detention. Russia: Bail can be used in Russia, but in practice, it is rare, especially for serious crimes like murder. Mexico: Mexico has a complex system of pre-trial detention and provisional release. Serious crimes like murder often result in pre-trial detention. Nigeria: While bail is constitutional in Nigeria, it's less common for serious offenses like murder and is decided on a case-by-case basis. Kenya: The Kenyan constitution guarantees the right to bail. However, for serious crimes like murder, it's generally more difficult to obtain. Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia does not typically use a bail system, and those accused of serious crimes like murder are usually detained until trial. Argentina: Argentina uses a system of pre-trial detention and conditional release. Bail can be granted but is less common for serious crimes like murder.

Paradise Pete replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
That's not exactly what they said, but it was extremely effective. Then the virus mutated. Statistically though, the vaccinated still fare much better.- 75 replies

Man found dead in love hotel after taking Viagra
Paradise Pete replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand News
Lots of older men die in this way every year. It's not caused by the viagra, except in the sense that if not for the viagra they wouldn't be attempting the activity. -
Didn't someone have trouble for leaving a bad review of a restaurant? I've forgotten the details, so maybe I'm wrong.

How fast the final curtain can fall.
Paradise Pete replied to swissie's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
That abusive parent who throws you in a pit of fire if you don't worship him. What's not to love? -
Mine is deposited in my US account and I use Wise to send it. The excellent exchange rate Wise gives makes the total cost low, and I have more control. I don't see a reason for jumping through the hoops of having it go directly to my BKB account. Also if I ever need to leave Thailand I'd have to undo all that.

Anyone ever tried Botox injections in Thailand?
Paradise Pete replied to ubonr1971's topic in Health and Medicine
I assume you mean 6-7 months. General consensus is a bit less than that, but of course individual results can vary. -
‘Policeman’ Faces Arrest Over Cyanide Killings
Paradise Pete replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Perhaps 10 "arrest warrants" is simply a mistranslation, and the original Thai is something like 10 charges? -
FIDE rule 7.5.1 An illegal move is completed once the player has pressed his/her clock. If during a game it is found that an illegal move has been completed, the position immediately before the irregularity shall be reinstated. If the position immediately before the irregularity cannot be determined, the game shall continue from the last identifiable position prior to the irregularity. Articles 4.3 and 4.7 apply to the move replacing the illegal move. The game shall then continue from this reinstated position. 7.5.5 After the action taken under Article 7.5.1, 7.5.2, 7.5.3 or 7.5.4 for the first completed illegal move by a player, the arbiter shall give two minutes extra time to his/her opponent; for the second completed illegal move by the same player the arbiter shall declare the game lost by this player. However, the game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves.

One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
Paradise Pete replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Last time I flew in from the US I was asked by the airline if I had a return ticket. I tried explaining that some guy on the internet said it doesn't happen so she must be listening to the control freaks and she shouldn't believe them. I added that I simply believe the things that I want to be true, so don't waste my time. For some reason that didn't work. What's this world coming to? I blame it on the jab.
