Jeez, people have nothing better to do than insult you. I am not sure of the bus schedule or if the red trucks are still allowed to pick up at the airport itself, but if you walk outside to the main road you can get one that has just dropped off people at the airport. Should be 30 to 50 baht to Huay Kaew. That would be cheapest. Using the Bolt rideshare app from the airport might only be 80-90 baht.

Fond memories of the Lek buffet in the 90's. 99 baht and mediocre in every aspect, if I remember correctly. Still, pleasant enough and interesting people watching.

I didn't see that review. I am not yet shocked. The CPU is plenty fast for my uses which are MS Office, torrents and streaming and playing video.

I am happy to report that my self-employment income in Thailand did give me the 3 credits to qualify for Social Security and Medicare. It took about 2-3 months after the IRS processed my return, I think. You have the 40 work credits you need to receive benefits! This includes credits not yet reported on your earnings record from last year and this year if you continued to work. You earned $5,245 in 2023. Is this correct?

I bought this from Amazon as it was actually cheaper than buying it in Thailand. It's perfect, cheap and does all the basic stuff I need. Dual HDMI ports means I can hook it up to both my TV and monitor. Comes with Windows 11 installed and properly registered and no bloatware at all. After using the coupon it was less than 6000 delivered. https://www.amazon.com/TRIGKEY-Computer-500G-Desktop-Graphics/dp/B0C15DTJMX/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3JKC9EPBYVANO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.l-wm5m7VAj1UQWOcwI8run248n-AtC3UKl2ap1HkjokYmfTNs6zhWTn4isct9HnR0XFbGEqUnfoUt1wxPs5NHsoZB8OXeW_P-CXpvfO0nehHtTJJ0hVWoHZN3zt1GK2tarXz4PFXhBhMv3Up96xPGvBUXgW2suixhBdHH5iCnnUDnzxzM5dcPvKkhEETPx9zCjen68JqkhRyqHxEBl3mTUIPLNvUZm99u1RDDIxbAMs.stlkwygusJzNzMeK6-NJXpuJRR-5Dq6CCxQLWyKEBns&dib_tag=se&keywords=trigkey&qid=1723681965&sprefix=trigkey%2Caps%2C423&sr=8-4&th=1

I have no interest in an internet forum fight.

https://www.decathlon.co.th/en-TH Almost everything they sell are their own brands, that's why I thought you might have confused it with another store.

I think you might be confusing Decathlon with some other store?

I predict will be very happy to have discovered Decathlon in Thailand, as I was.

Give it a rest! Who cares. Instead, let's talk about how the Democrats hate babies so much they believe in free abortions up to and after the baby is born.

I have had the same address in Bangkok for 10 years. My 90 day online was rejected so I mailed it in the same day. I never received the receipt. I have done mail in and online reporting many many times so I know what I am doing. (I am aware of the timing issue where when you get rejected online it is past the deadline for mail in reporting (well played Immigration) but it has worked in the past.) Made the unpleasant trip to Chaengwattana with an appointment that worked perfectly. (Good job Immigration!) I presented the EMS receipt and tracking print out showing when immigration received my report. She quickly printed out the receipt that should have been mailed to me and handed it to me and told me the date on which I should report again online. I pointed out that online reporting rarely worked for me. Why doesn't it work? I asked. I don't know. Will it work in the future? I don't know. Why wasn't the receipt mailed to me? I don't know. Of course we were communicating through a pane of glass and she was wearing a mask (not that I blame them) so I might have misheard. She made it clear though that we were not going to have a discussion about anything related to fixing whatever problems caused my inconvenience or that might happen again. Oh well, that is life in the big city. 🙂 The 90 day report area was packed with no seats available. Go figure.

I think it is good for my country that some people will think further into why they believe that.

1. I think it is quite good for the USA for people to see the attacks on her and, for some anyway, think about how and why she is being attacked.

I wonder why they don't adopt non-violent protests like a nationwide work/student strike.

Well played! 🙂

Oops!

Most normal VP I have seen. Speaks well, intelligent and the opposite of weird. Kamala is the weirdest candidate ever. 4 word response: Kamala is not orange.

I would be willing to bet 500,000 baht that immigration is not going to allow DTV holders who came here for a single medical procedure or short cooking class to reenter the country and get another 180 days for five years without some difficult and confusing documentation. Remember, Immigration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who created these visas are two separate fiefdoms.

Carl's Jr did not survive covid and they closed all their restaurants in Thailand in 2022. I don't think they ever found a market among Thai people. However, Taco Bell in Bangkok seems to be a hit with young Thais. When I walk past their shop in Paragon it is 90% Thais and Chinese tourists eating there. They have even opened a Taco Bell in Central Pinklao which gets almost no expats or foreign tourists.

Long John Silvers has opened at Megabangna in Bangkok. That is going to some childhood nostalgia food for me. I remember going to Wendys in the basement of MBK in 1997 or so. Didn't last too long.

+1 for La Casita - But I have only ever had the tofu chorizo burrito. It was damn tasty along with all the sides and condiments. In and Out has actually done a couple of pop ups in Bangkok in the last few years. And Shake Shack is open in Central World. Pricey though. The veggie mushroom burger and fries was 500 baht or so.
