That's not my experience. One example, my son's Thai mother in law (78 years old) minimal education, never used a computer uses K Plus scan for everything possible. She's always ready to do the scan, all done in 1 second. Millions of other Thai folks, all ages / all levels of education etc., do the same.

Nowadays I carry very little cash and when I know a payment will be needed I get my K Plus app open (very easy) and ready, I do the scan and all completed in 1 second. You see it gain and again in many shops, big and small. I can't recall ever being slowed down by a slow connection. 7/11 is part of the CP conglomerate as is true internet. Seems to me that everything is / will be set up to ensure scan payments are super quick. Next customer please.

Link please.

But there's more detail which is not all that positive.

And if you cannot work due to illness and so on? And from my understanding in the US Social Security System there's a cap on what you can withdraw - and the cap is basically what you have personally contributed. So if you personal Social Security fund is dry at 80 years old - bad luck? I have several US colleagues hre in LOS, that's the way they explain it, and they are dreading the day it runs out.

I couldn't find my old Medicare card or any record of the number. Medicare searched and couldn't find my old number. Medicare issued a new number.

Already active in y extended Thai family. Older sister of my Thai son's wife had already contacted all asking them to give her 50%. Why? She's trying to gather enough money for a deposit on a new EV car. Been rejected by all. Mostly because she and her unpleasant husband ran a quite successful business for several decades and they have enough funds in their bank account to pay cash for the car they want. Also true you could find this 'scenario' in any country.

I returned to Oz (about 5 years ago) after a long absence. My Medicare card had long expired. I went to my local Clink office and obtained a CRN, proved my ID, then lodged my application for the OAP (lodged online by the Clink officer who first offered to manually scan my hand OAP & Assets & Income applications, then she indicated: - 'it's all complete, I can lodge it for you right now using the big Clink multi purpose machine here in the office, or - You can lodge it online yourself, or - You can mail the documents to Clink in Canberra). I requested she go ahead and lodge the documents using the Clink multi purse machine, which she did. About 5 seconds after imy application docs were sent the machine printed a receipt which was handed to me. The Clink officer mentioned that the receipt indicated that all the pages have been received in the Canberra office. The Clink officer politely reminded me that OAP applications are not processed by local Clink offices,they are processed by computer in Canberra. She also mentioned that Clink Canberra would contact me by e.mail is any further information / clarification was needed. She then mentioned that she had checked my Medicare status and it was cancelled. She indicated she could restart my membership if I wished. I responded YES please. About 1 minute later she took a document off the printer at her desk and gave it to me and explained: - This letter is for you, it confirms your membership has been reinstated. - A new card will arrive at your recorded residential address in 2 weeks. In the meantime use this letter if you need to visit a doctor / hospital etc. - The new plastic Medicare card arrived about 4 working days later.

'pretending' - why are so unpleasant? The laws / regulations are clear, logical, sensible and not difficult to understand. Move on please, perhaps start a knitting website for folks stationed in Antarctica.

If you mean you are going to pull the KY tube out of the orifice, will you pull it out slow or fast? One would guess the speed of removal determines the level of pleasure. The marriage approval is good news for our LGBT friends, which includes many configurations. Please enjoy and good luck.

QUOTE: "the above said, one of Centrelink's staff processing your application could be a knob-head and try to say, yeh but you only travel to one spot, so therefore you are a Non Resident". Yes centrelink has a 24/7 live link to immigration records (passport records in and out) and my understanding is that on every 'in and 'out' activity the computers search to see if a passport number (in or out) is in the Centrelink database and if yes the 'in ' out' details are recorded instantly on the Centrelink records for that person. But, unless I am misinformed there's nothing in the immigration records re the destination of that traveller for departure and no record on where the traveller is coming from when they arrive in Australia. So how could the Centrelink staff be able to say things like "...but you only travel to one spot...".

...the whole dam lot of them are about money and jealousy and how can I look important? And how can I impress people?

Perhaps when they have a large number of outlets this reduces the overall operational costs (Supply chain efficiency / cost efficiency). But if only a small number of branches and even more so if they are not geographically quite close the supply chain cost could be unacceptable.

Can put him on ignore / blocked but that's very different to having him blocked from posting.

I can't understand how the case against trump for keeping / not securing / not returning classified documents etc etc., was 'thrown out'.

Interesting, from the point of view that the local oil company mentioned is nowadays, in many ways, a very capable diverse business organization which realised some years back that oil companies need to diversify. I worked for one of the biggest global oil companies for many years in several countries. Perhaps 10 or 12 years ago the company got serious: - They realized that total focus on oil and petroleum, fossil fuels, was not going to sustain long-term. - They realized they had substantial resources and infrastructure world wide and they did big investigation / research on what they should focus on / how they should diversify for revenues and margin as the world changed from fossil fuels. (Other big oil companies doing the same.) - My company decided the answer was food, every aspect of food. - Some oil companies are very successful in their step by step change to food (or whatever), some aren't. - Part of the situation is not understanding well enough the market for food. KFC spends very big and uses big many tools and activities to build and maintain their brand. Many of the companies who are new to this type of business. - One local company told their HR to find new staff who were well acquainted with building food brands. HR found a number of local people who had a masters degree in marketing but no real marketing experiences. The CEO's diversification committee (including several folks brought in from outside) didn't employ even one of these people. The HR manager was furious 'but they all have a masters degree'. I was asked to give some advice. I told the HR manager 'you're looking at the wrong items. The folks you found have no knowledge or experience with building brand and in building brand in the food / fast food industry. HR Manager insisted that my comment was not relevant, and insisted that the fact they had a masters degree was the most important point because if they attended meetings / seminars etc., they could give their business card and highlight that they had a masters degree. The HR manager saw impressing the other attendees with education qualifications impress the other attendees by saying they had a masters degree as the key point. I responded by quoting the very low revenue numbers and highlighting that very little money / resources was being spent of marketing and branding. HR manager insisted that was good 'saving money'. A later meeting more discussion with the HR manager and he and his senior staff were dismissed and quickly a whole new team employed, all given specific tasks re building brand. They are now making progress.

There's also the possibility that his ego is so big he believes he is untouchable by assassins etc.

Remembering that the Social Security Fund has rules and regulations which must be adhered to: - All persons in permanent employment must become members of the SSF. - SSF members are required to pay a monthly contribution of 432Baht a month to the SSF.. Plus the employer is required to match that amount and the employer is required to transfer both amounts to the SSF by a deadline date each month. (Wonder how employers would react to / comply with this item?)

Accused more times than you can count. Never any real evidence.

In what work?

He's 11. therefore you could (if you wish) fully transfer ownership to him right now. But keep in mind that after transfer to a minor the property cannot be transferred out of his name until he reaches majority age and therefore legally entitled to make such a transaction / sign the appropriate documents.

BYD vehicles (not mentioned above) are very popular in Chiang Mai with good reports, you can see BYD cars on the roads here in CM.

I was in Australia for about 2 years. I maintained my AIS post pay account. when I wanted to pay a bill in Thailand I removed my Australian SIM and reinserted my AIS SIM. Then opened my internet banking for either K Bank or BBL. Transfer to pay a local (Thailand) bill worked every time. Then of course removed my AIS SIM and reinserted my Australian Telecom SIM.
