Tooooo Bad

On Jomtien 2nd road right past the "Revenue Building" there are a few small View Talay buildings. They are only like 4 stories high. In the building closest to the revenue department there is a gym in the basement that is very inexpensive and has pretty good equipment. Before I quit and got fat there were only to 3 or 4 people there in the morning when I went there at 8 am. And, most of the people are not weight lifters but people just trying to stay in shape.

I have tried to research all of them that I could find and none of them allow you to buy US stocks. Does anybody know if one of them does allow the purchasing US stocks? Thanks in advance.

Every branch is different. Some cooperate and some make your life miserable. If one of them gives you a problem, just find another one. It is all up to the manager as too how that branch operates.

I am really tired of not making any money on the funds I have in my Thai Banks. I tried to check online and the best I could come up with a savings account at SCB called "EZ Savings" which pays 1.5%. WOW, really, I guess it better than the almost nothing I have been getting. OH please, if anybody can beat that please let me and I am sure quite a few others know what it is and what bank offers it. Not only savings but safe money market too. Thanks in advance.

There is in the US. They pay or move because they won't own their property if they don't pay.

500 Baht a day to get the crap beat out of you, and this dude wants to know if that's enough.  No it is not enough! The going rate for sparing partners is 10,000 a day and you better pay up.

In the US we use a great deal of slang that could actually mean the exact opposite of the word you heard. An example is "somebody saying that is bad". Of course you would think that what they were talking about was no good. When the exact opposite is what they were saying and "bad means really good." It is easy for us to know when bad means bad, and not good. But, I imagine it would be a nightmare for a person who English was not their first language.

Very good advice moogradod, and I was thinking about it.

Well, he broke out my back window in my car! What's next? The building manager would not call the police since she said they did not have a video. I went to the police and filed a report. I don't know what to do, the man is insane and the guards and many people in the building know it.

Thanks for everybody's help. After reading all of the above suggestions, I really don't know what to do. The guy I am having trouble with creates huge problems in our building. I had no idea how many until I started talking to various people in our building and each person I talked has a new troublesome story about him. The former building manager told me she warned him about his behavior so may times she forgot how many. What to do, how to stop this type of behavior once and for all is the question, and I don't know the answer, which is too bad for every normal person that lives in our building, especially the children.

I am in Pattaya.

That does not sound good.

Hungry Hippo, right down the street from Nicky's has excellent bacon. That is if you like thick bacon that is fully cooked.

You will end up getting Covid at Royal Garden trying to get the booster there. They sit you in room after room crowded with people that are jam packed. I took one look at this and said NO way I want to be around this many people, especially since some of them have not even had one shot.

At Memorial you can get a Moderna booster for 1,650 in less than 30 minutes. In fact mine took less than that as I was the first one in line. You don't have to wait until March or April.

Don't you feel the cold....? At least you will not attract pick-pockets. 

Luck of the draw... I am fairly conscious but still got my chain yanked off my neck here.... and a couple of other events.

My friends have been pick-pocketed while I was with them, that was in the US. I don't let anybody outside of a bar touch me that I don't want to touch. In other words if a lady boy or a lady for that matter comes up to me and I can tell they are going to try and hug me, I just wave my finger no politely and never had a problem, and I have don that a ton of times. When I am in a crowd of people I put my hands in my pockets and grad my money, keys, and whatever else I don't want to lose. I have always worn a gold chain with some type of medallion and when I got here and read about all the chain snatches, I said that is the end of wearing a gold chain. Yes, I think ahead.

Housekeepers at 5 star hotels have some training and have been screened to some extent. 
You might be able to hire one of them on their day off?

I am trying that, I can't get any that want to work on their day off. Only an 1 or 2 before or after work, and that is not going to get the job done.

Since some many people seem concerned with the maids duties, it is the same as 10,000's or so other people that live in condo who have a maid come into their home 3 to 5 hours once a week to clean up their place. I just wanted a few recommendations from people that are happy with theie maid that live in my area. I always try to help out people that need recommendations, damm just last week or so I turned somebody on to an AC guy that I have used for years that is awesome, that is all I am asking for.

You've been going to Walking Street for 20 years and never been scammed / robbed.  NEVER had a bill padded, for example?  Really?  

I did I have a bill padded once at Go-Go bar named White "some thing or the other", I forget the rest of its name. It was located on the same side street at Sapphires, somebody probably knows what it was called. Guess what, I never went back there and did not give a sh it over a couple of hundred baht and left without an incident.
