USA Self-Employment Tax and Social Security
Dan O replied to ricklev's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
your right I worded it poorly. Part b is deducted automatically.. Part A has an initial required payment before any service is provide. Part A I believe its $1600 for initial visit and you have to already have signed up for part B to get part A coverage. There's also qualifiers for coverage and if you dont then there is a charge for coverage so its hardly free. -
Surachate 'Big Joke' Hakparn challenges Thai PM over dismissal
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Your speculating again since your original assumption was wrong. he very well may be after power, ego, image, influence who knows, not you or me. There is no figuring out what really drives these people other than they are desperate to maintain their social position and as a foreigner we have no clue outside of that. -

Pattaya to become Southeast Asia’s premier destination
Dan O replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Certainly this article cant be taken seriously as the changes needed to make it a premiere destination for anything other than the sex trade have little to do with burying electrical cables, fixing roads and sidewalks and cleanng the beach. -
they told you what happened, your card info was skimmed and sold. its normal everywhere in the world that they cancel your card and issue a new one. They investigate the false charges and credit them back. your making a big issue for nothing. You seem to be complaining in all your post on here about whatever issue is in front of you. how were you locked up or detained in Pattaya, you just didnt like your visit.

US Senate Urges Thailand to Uphold Democracy Amid Party Dissolution Fears
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
your confusing the candidates and their platforms for the democratic process of the country. they are 2 completely different things. -
US Senate Urges Thailand to Uphold Democracy Amid Party Dissolution Fears
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Your post is confusing, as it seems to imply that Trump won the election, and his followers had the right to illegally storm the capitol and disrupt the legitimate process of confirmation. -
How to avoid an unwanted ladyboy encounter?
Dan O replied to Alpha84's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Just avoid Pattaya and Patong and Nana Plaza. If you wear a gold necklace then you'll find out real quick. If they're too pretty or want to walk up and give you a hug then walk away. You could also just ask them if they are a girl and they will generally tell you the truth. -
Western Liberals: How Do You Justify Your Stay in Thailand?
Dan O replied to kevozman1's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Seems your off base on a number of your opinions or observations. Too many to list. As for low IQ it seems you may qualify based on your analysis and comparisons. you may have that backward as the Brits and Aussies are the moaners and complainers for the most part. Look at that make up here on this website as a classic example. -

Thailand Grapples with Growing Number of Foreign Beggars
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This was a 10 year long "study" and I seriously doubt the accuracy of the implications. Most may be foreigners but they are primarily Loas, Cambodian, Burmese and more recently Chinese and not western tourist. Sure there's the backpacker contingent but they are hardly any real significant numbers. I also question if street people were counted and I doubt they were and most that I've ever come in contact with are Thai but I guess we cant say that now can we? -

Post some facts on where you're getting that information from? Illegal immigrants or legal asylum seekers are not the same thing, so I question your information -
Non Imm O Application 10/6/24
Dan O replied to carlyai's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your experience as you related it was confusing both for you and for people here trying to reply. Your first mistake was to come here and ask as many times you get very conflicting replies depending on the facts you relate about your situation. Imm Office is the place to find out what is needed for that office as they are not always the same office to office. -
Mrs. Smith is really starting to get on my nerves!
Dan O replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
There isn't a bob in all of us. H appear to be just an old man troll posting and making up stories for attention or trying to fit in as one of the boys still on his youth. -
Non Imm O Application 10/6/24
Dan O replied to carlyai's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your post is a bit off base as your complaining about a normal process that imm officers go thru on a situation like you describe.. Your past history has little or nothing to do with your current situation and the items and process requested is normal. The process has not changed in quite a while -
Mrs. Smith is really starting to get on my nerves!
Dan O replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Bob, How many times have you said this and posted about it? Put on your big boy panties and deal with it. She's not a slave and if you talk to her like you speak to restaurant owners and bar keeps not to mention your neighbors then you made your own bed. Although personally I think your are just a Troll Poster fishing for replies with your made up stories. -
How did you get your name put on Chanote? Are you sure your on it as an owner or is it on as a leasee? Its highly irregular for a foreigner to own land with only a few exceptions. If your truely on the Chanote you can list the property for sale yourself, no need to wait for her to list it. The difficulty will come if you actually sell it as she will need to sign off on the sale if she is on the chanote.

I was bored out of my mind in Pattaya
Dan O replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
What you do or dont do to keep yourself active and interested is on you not the so much the place your located in, although Pattaya is over rated for the most part unless that lifestyle is for you. There are plenty of other places in Thailand that are similar or quite different. It's up to you to pick the place that suits you best but you still have control over your lifestyle and activities. -
I would hold my position. Sorry I have no more money to give and if you need the money that bad decide what you want to sell and use that money. Don't keep feed into the problem by supplying extra money or it will never stop.

Interesting they want you to arrive 3 hours early due to the automated passport processing when the airline check in counters don't open until 2 hours before boarding and the automated check in kiosks that allow automated early check in dont allow for early bag drop until the same time the check in counters open. hopefully they syncronize everything better. I just went thru this last week.

Well Bob seems you're the common denominator in all your tragic experiences. Perhaps its how you approach dealing with Thai people. If you speak to them with the attitude you most often present on here with your posts my guess is it's you that's the problem. Ive sent food back many times over the years here when it wasnt prepared as I ordered it and never had 1 complaint or issue doing it. I doubt that the server threw the plate down on your table either, other than thats your perception of the interaction. Thailand doesnt seem to suit your disposition and I dont see either changing so I suggest you put on your big boy pants and suck it up or leave.

App that makes abuse of biodata passport difficult?
Dan O replied to agg211's topic in General Topics
Not quite sure what or why your trying to protect the biodata page or who you trying to protect it from? You have control of your physical PP.
