BS. You can get a pack of donuts for $2.50 from Walmart and be full but a person can neither eat a broccoli brunch for $3 nor it is going to make him full. People are not cows.

Can't you remit to a US bank (or any other UK/Europe banks) after converting to their local currency? Sorry maybe you don't have one

License may have expired or something like that. SLoppy reporting my guess.

Most Ratchada clubs are den for drug usage and operate beyond permissible hours. It was one of my go to place to buy drugs when I was in Thailand prior to Covid.

Hmm. Somebody wants a Tom Cruise style haircut for 100 baht. Where do people come from to Thailand, I keep wondering.

My friend paid 10K when he was arrested for wandering in Nana area and high on ice. They did not find any ice in his possession (he had in his room) but found "meth" in his pee.

Which airlines? Never heard this nonsense.

Most generics in Thailand I see are either made in Thailand or in India. Never seen a chinese generic medicines in Thailand. And 20% generics medicines sold worldwide are made in India and in the US and UK the percentages are pretty high, may be closed to 50%. China provides the ingredients but I don't think they are a major player in manufacturing generics medicines worldwide. I also have noticed generics in Thailand are more expensive than in the USA. I compared 9-generics using data from Cost Plus Drugs (USA) and Thailand's Fascino.

I may be wrong but my understanding is most medicines in Thailand are generics.

All the items I bought from Lazada are on COD only, including item as expensive as 12K BHT. That's the only time I use cash otherwise I am a credit card junkie and use them even for 7/11 purchases.

What happened to the bride seekers and orgy seekers? They have given up Pattay?

As far as I know if you can get a work permit, you can legally work.

too small for me. I need at least 11-inch.

I may be wrong as I am not looking into it but a friend told me that if you have 80K USD as your pension, you don't need any bond or condo.

How much fund one needs for a border crossing? I don't think a huge amount.

Why people overstay for so long. It's beyond my comprehension.

Doctor's fees even in Private hospitals are low (like 450-600 baht in Pattaya Bangkok Hospital.

Why they have to announce it in a press conference. Can't they just post monthly arrest numbers in a website instead of doing a press conference to announce the arrest of single person.

Nobody can give definite answer. Chiang mai is safer than BKK airport as per posting in this forum.

Yes I also found out the same. I always have two phones. One with a US sim and the other with a dTac sim. Got a new phone and installed it and found the app is disabled in the other phone.

Quite obvious when they can't differentiate between a visa and permission to stay date.

I don't think so by reading the type of posts I see in this forum, like the differences between visa and permission to stay date. They choose other types of visa but did not leave the country due to their degrading experience. That speaks a volume.

For the same reason I see many posts from first time retirees in this forum and there may be more not posting in the forum. ALso looking at pattaya where drunk would be bride seekers are bar hopping in search of a bride, I don't see any lack of retirement visa applicants in Thailand. Also, retirees are not going to find their future brides bar hopping in any other countries, I assume.

You're right. My Ex wife, after marriage, never had to visit a doctor for almost 20-years. So she did not have any medical records (not even yearly health check up). When after we got divorced, she applied for Long-term care she was denied acceptance because she did not have any medical record. They even even won't take her after a health check up.

Last time I rode my MC in soi 5, I saw some construction going on inside the immigration office. Must be those improvements that the OP is talking about.
