I recall it being 50k. Never tested it though.

Taxi apps have pick-up places outside airports in many countries these days. Outside Jakarta airport Grab is present in force alongside Gojek. They even have uniformed employees to guide you when calling your first ride. And once you have your credit card inside the app you're good to go without ever having to paw dirty banknotes. It's high time taxis in Thailand got dragged into the 21st century.

A coup would do away with all the nice things coming from democracy, like taxation of remittances, re-criminalisation of cannabis, taxation of world-wide income etc. Let's hope there will be no coup for sure.

One thing many people do is to give 5 stars, then go on to criticize.

The risk of death from the diseases which you show on your screenshot is very low THANKS TO MASS VACCINATION. If it weren't for mass vaccination thoses diseases would decimate populations.

Let me see, I think I know what you mean: why waste precious forum space to discuss vaccines and STDs, instead of starting yet another, much-needed thread about Trump?

I see another constant, turning any thread into a discussion of Trump.

This thread is about the Thai currency, not about Trump or the USD.

What does it matter who fuels pedohysteria since everyone does?

Yes, the feminazis who now run the BBC never stop agitating against men.

Yes, plus Truvada. Note that the reason why the UK has no recommendation on Brexsero boosters maybe simply be because this use is new and there is not enough time-line data. But if protection wanes after 2 or 3 years chances are boosters will be the way to go, within reason of course, unless we want this vaccines to become like the flu vaccine that gets injected on and on.

What conspiracies? Gardasil against HPV has long been recommended for young people, especially females as HPV can cause cervical cancer.

Does the UK recommend 3 injections? Here in TH they only want to give you 2 as per WHO for meningitis, but in the US they give 3 jabs for gonnorhea. Only good for a couple of years? I see "up to 3 years" in some sources. Not very long. Boosters may change that. The trick is, how to get more than 2 jabs in TH. I guess by going to another hospital after you've had 2 already at a first hospital. At Mahidol they advertise it at 3100 Baht per jab. 5100 Baht at BHP.

I do PreP/PeP etc. when I go bareback but that still leaves out 70% of gonnhorea strains, among other things. From what I've read the lower prevalence of genital warts in older people is due to the latter having on average less sex, not to their being less susceptible.

I kill large spiders. I am arachnophobic.

Indeed "I can't stand the smell" sounds less bigotted than "I can't stand people getting high".

I still had credit on Skype and Skype lets you use that credit on their residual dialpad website. I tried it out yesterday and it worked with one caveat: I had to use Edge. The dialpad didn't fully work in Firefox.

What? Daring put pressure on a government for its anti-white racist policies? Unacceptable for sure.

Why gloat about fellow men or women having their lives thrown down the drain for victimless crimes? All kinds of foul play happens at airports with checked in luggage, even if it is not obvious that it was the case here. It could happen to you.

Synthetic cannabis or synthetic cannabinoids? Not the same thing. If the latter it could not even be on the list of illegal substances.

Gardasil 9, means 9 strains. ChatGPT tells me this vaccines protects against "HPV 6 and 11, which are responsible for approximately 90% of genital warts". Genital warts = awful disease. My brother went twice on the operating theater (general anesthesia) in order to have warts lasered off from the urethra. Note that not catching anything doesn't mean, alas, not passing on anything. Many STDs are symptomatic in some people.

Since we have a disciple of RFK Jr. on this forum who fights a losing battle against vaccines, I thought I'd do the opposite. Today I got two off-label vaccine shots at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. Brexsero is a vaccine against meningitis B that gives you a 40% protection against that ruiner of the Pattaya lifestyle: gonorrhea. Two shots 6 months apart in Thailand, though the US recommendation for gonorrhea is three shots. Gardasil is a vaccine against HPV routinely administered to young women. It give good protection against genital warts. Two shots 3 months apart. Both take a bit of convincing on you part especially if you are above 60. I hate this "not recommended for over 45" charade. It only means big pharma were too lazy to test their stuff on the elderly. There's also more money to be made out of the young since they're likely to be still around when boosters are needed.

Yes it was

I do shower, but increasingly in a perfunctary way, because in Thailand I see most other people round me not showering.

The only mistake I did was to upload a withholding statement (from TSD) in jpeg format. That statement was not very legible. But I brought good PDF copies to the TRD office. Also, TRD painstaikingly checked my bank account savings book to see if every dividend paid matched the amount credited to my account. What this checking was all in aid of I wonder. If any checking had to be done, they by myself, to make sure my broker was not cheating me out. Neither did TRD take my word for it on my sole remittance in 2024. TRD checked my savings book to make sure there were no other remittances.
