Also, before I used a tax filing agency i want to be convinced the person/agency is very knowledgeable about current laws / regulations specific to foreigners. I would ask the person/agency to give me the name /phone number of 3 long-term customers and their phone numbers and I would call them and share a quick summary of your situation and then ask 'what comments/ advice do you have please?'

Venture disposable shavers worth a try, double blades, excellent shave, I get about 12 shaves out of one shaver. Handle is shorter than Gille..., which means I hold the handle closer to the blades and that seems to keep the blades area more steady and a closer balanced shave. 30Baht for 2 shavers, as above, worth a try.

Agree. People employed in positions where public safety / danger is present / paramount should be automatically jailed for violence.

QUOTE: "...Asian women hate beards..." Years ago I was discussing something with my Thai wife (Dr. of medicine) and her mother joined the conversation (both spoke very advanced English). Then beards entered the chat. To get to the point, both agreed that many Thai women see men with beards as just lazy. Some also profile beards as smelly.

Several times I've had the experience (both GRAB and BOLT), I enter the destinations (the system knows I'm at home and knows my address), then the GRAB / BOLT systems indicate they are searching for driver. Many times driver found quickly, but also many times 'no drivers available to pick you up in next 20 minutes etc. All indicating their drivers (at some points in the day are getting many continuous jobs.

Nice points however: 1. I rather doubt trump being all that civil with Obama. 2. Trump should have had much more respect for the occasion / the reason why they were there , the funeral of a past president, regardless of what party carter belonged to.

Good points, but let me share, the first address entered in my police Red book was at the big Banglamung police centre. Then the whole family moved to Chiang Mai (CM). I went to the Banglamung office 14 days after we moved to Chiang Mai to tell the Banglamung staff I had moved to Chiang Mai. This conversation was initially with a civilian clerical worker who spoke good English; when I told her I had moved to CM14 days earlier she went pale and said 'you are very late and I need to report this to a police snr. Police snr came quickly, he was polite, he told me that I had broken the transfer address rules and he told the civilian lady (in good English) to fine me 2,00Baht, then he disappeared. A few minutes later he returned and asked me 'do you have any further comments or explanation why you are so late? I shared 'yes, I had to go to China quickly for an important project with the Chinese / Thai governments'. He then said 'change the fine to 200Baht' . I thanked him and said 'I've been worried I might lose my PR. He smiled and said 'NO NO, that cannot happen because of being late to change address, but you have really broken a regulation'. He concluded by saying 'if you change address again please be careful about this, you don't want a 'late' note twice in your police book.' All done.

Great post.

For me 35 years... The OP is a drama queen, not difficult in any way to use, no manual needed, adjust the pressure by pressing trigger on the spray to gain whatever pressure you want, totally simple. Yes for 99.9% of Thai toilets it's cold water. No big deal. Never once heard a Thai or farang person complain about the water being cold. Never hears of a farang wanting hot water. If it's so critical get a plumber in and install a small size water heater, but don't scald yourself.

Yes, if thaksin's mob and their cronies continue to gain power...

And food at Changi airport is also very reasonably priced.

As above.

Brother in law (loud overbearing mid aged gatoey) tried this one even further before his sister and my son had their wedding. Gatoey went to every member of his / his sisters extended family ( mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces etc) and told them to add their details to a document he had prepared which he intended to give to the Aust. embassy in Bkk so all thee folks would start to get their monthly payment of 50,000Baht per month forever, all because his sister was marrying into a family with a farang in the picture. My son confiscated the document and insisted the gatoey go with my son to every person he had 'signed up' and tell them there is no such payment. Gatoey then contacted a lowlife lawyer, asking the lawyer to help him sue the Aust. embassy because the embassy was stealing their money. Lawyer refused and a few days later gave my son a letter with his signature, one copy to be handed to all on the gatoey's list saying there is no such payment.

Read the full report / watch the video, it's not as you and others portray.

I use 2 taxi apps often. the next day I get an e.mail asking me to give rating.

Yep, son married his uni sweetheart, lovely Thai lady. Her brother (who had much earlier become aware that son's father was a farang) caused a scene at the wedding insisting that son must give his new wife a BMW as part of his wedding gifts to new wife. Argument ensured, son at one point said 'I don't have the money to buy a BMW. His now brother in law responded with 'ask your father for more money, he's a farang he has unlimited money every month from Australian govern, same as all Australians.

Sure, so buy sandwiches drinks etc., at 7/11 and/or outside before you travel to the airport.

Just imagining 'I'm sending my drone to pick up some beer. I'ts all programmed for the address for the return flight. Call me when your ready for me to 'click' to start the return flight and give me the price and programmed QR code and I'll quickly do a KPlus scan payment. Thanks'

Get your own drone organized.

Not a disease. But trumps' comments, actions and attitudes are concerning. Musk's comments, activities and attitudes are also concerning.

Did you read all the details? It was more than just vaping.

Agree, perhaps better to not pursue refunds etc., just write if off. But I wonder if it might be worthwhile to write a letter to yourself, for the manager to sign and give to you, indicating that rental totally ended on xx/xx/xxxx and no further rental payment is due after that date.

Maybe delivery?

.... and/or safety vest failure. I can just hear the owner now "Yes 20% of the passengers had no life vests, but the seats for the other 80% are under repair so the life vests were in the storeroom on land, so it's all OK!

Just wondering who decides the content of these tablets and who produces that content and their qualifications?
