Bangkok Bank Are At It Again!
Yes. You just need to call customer service and tell them what you are trying to do and they will clear it. Make the payment while you are on the phone with them.

Bread flour in Chiang Mai
Funny, mine just arrived about half an hour ago and I was reading the manual and saw the yogurt instructions. Not much there really.

Lahome Bread Machine Tiips and Suggestions?
I just bought the Lahome 2lb model on Lazada. It was 1387 baht so I figured, what the hell. Any tips, tricks, suggestions? I have never used one before.

Morchit Driver's License Renewal Peripheral Eye Test?
Has anybody renewed their 5 year license at Morchit recently? Did they require that test where you put your chin in a machine and identify perpheral lights and colors on the left and right? I am on my 4th five year renewal. I first got my license in Chiang Mai and they just have you identify red, yellow and green on a wall chart. No problem with that for me. Then I went once to Bang Chak Land Transportation Office and the woman tester seemed to take delight in failing me on that test. So it was back to Chiang Mai and no problem again. During covid I went to Morchit and they were not using the testing machine, but were holding up colors to the side. Passing that was no problem. I don't guess I will ever pass the peripheral color test using the machine and Chat GPT tell me that is common for older folks like me. I have always used my old style work permit that had an address at both Bangkok and Chiang Mai offices, but now I have a new one that is not acceptable to them and must get the annoying certificate of residence. I suspect that might be a problem if I try to go to Chiang Mai but maybe it just means taking the hotel's TM30 form. Thanks for your information.

Thanks. I will check that out. I called and was surprised that Bumrungrad would not take them.

Insulin Needle Disposal?
For those of you in Bangkok on insulin or peptides, where do you dispose of your sharps? I live close to Chula hospital. Thanks.

The ENTIRE US Healthcare system is broken, not just health insurance companies
Let's be clear. The Republicans are the reason we in the USA can't have nice things like universal health care coverage. Sure the Democrats are bad also, but against great odds, they often try.

Recommendations: ink-jet multi purpose printer in Chiang Mai
Lots of ink available much cheaper, unless you meant a pack of all colors. https://tinyurl.com/mprdv72x It was a drag when mine needed deep cleaning after only sitting for a few weeks. I fixed it without a visit to a shop but it required time and attention. Some brands automatically print the nozzle check weekly with no attention. Epson says it is possible to set it up so you can print the nozzle check by sending an email to the printer if you are away, but I did not try it.

Epson EcoTank L3250 I have been happy with it, however you have to remember to print a test pattern every week or so to keep the printheads from drying/clogging.

Will They Re-Criminalize Cannabis in Thailand Within 60 Days?
My prediction: People's Party wins the election with the most votes but not enough MPs to form a coalition government. Anutin plays his cards and remains Prime Minister. Nothing changes about cannabis.

Trump Announces Greenland Deal Framework, Drops Tariff Threats!
"As the discussion continues, Trump’s negotiation strategy underscores a balance between assertiveness and diplomacy, aiming to solidify US interests while fostering international collaboration." He truly is playing 5D chess! I realize now I was wrong to judge him as a desperate power craving fool. He really does deserve public acclaim and all the prizes in the universe.

Trump Unveils 'Great Healthcare Plan' with Bold Claims
You have got to admire Obama and Biden and all the dedicated people who worked for them for doing their best to get affordable health care to people who have been taught to hate them.

Social Security Interview Thailand - What Questions, How Long?
When they approve it you get all the back payments in a lump sum from the date you indicated you wanted to start SS. This comes in your first deposit.

Social Security Interview Thailand - What Questions, How Long?
They probably will not call you at the appointed time. My call was scheduled mid morning or so and they called late afternoon. No apology or mention of the appointment. The officer was nice enough and the questions were simple. It took 10 minutes or so. You are automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A assuming you are 65 or over. You can choose to enroll in Part B. He asked me for bank details in the USA but I did not have them available. I later emailed the details and all went smoothly. I think I could have given him my Thai bank info, but I am not sure.

How to buy crypto?
I don't blame the Thai crypto exchanges for not accepting USA accounts. Although I am a USA citizen, I would love to see the whole world place a one week moratorium on all sales to and purchases from the USA. Just to teach the brilliant man in the white house and his sycophants the necessity of being a good global citizen.

Thanks. I'll give them a try and see if they love the USA!

How to buy crypto?
I did, but it also would not accept my Thai or USA debit cards or bank transfer from my Thai bank. Maybe I could do a swift transfer but I don't want to pay that high a fee. Trying to buy using Moonpay through my Exodus wallet now but address verification is holding me up. JackGats may be right that the best way is to have a friend transfer to my wallet.
