That's probably because you are in Thailand eating incredible tasty food. Not in the US where Taco Bell is considered a delicacy by murican standards. I could see the beef options tasting being better in the US but not the chicken.

I live about half a block from a Taco Bell and have never been there. I read the posts on this board from people getting all excited that they were in Thailand so I decided to give it a try. I can't understand why anyone would get excited about eating that garbage anywhere, much less in Thailand.

Thai Tourism Reopening Plan Stokes Concerns of Virus Resurgence
shdmn replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Here come the concern trolls. -
First you need to get a prescription from an optometrist but I don't think you need to go to a hospital for that. When I priced out buying prescription glasses I found that I could get them cheaper online than I could in Thailand prescription eyeglass stores. I would imagine you can buy them online in Thailand as well. I used eyebuydirect.com and highly recommend them. Quite a bit cheaper than buying in retail stores in Thailand and the US. I found that prescription reading glasses are quite a bit clearer than the off the shelf reading glasses for me. That may be because my prescription requires one eye to have a bit more correction than the other so it may vary from person to person. I would recommend buying at least one pair of prescription reading glasses and then compare them to off the shelf reading glasses to see it they are worth it for you.

Fee charged from Bangkok Bank.
shdmn replied to tomx2's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I get charged 300 baht a year for the ATM card. That is all I get charged so I don't know what the other fee is that some people are talking about. I'm also set up for online banking, so even though I haven't been in Thailand for quite awhile I can go online and see the fee being taken out. -
Tourism minister pressing ahead with "Step by Step" reopening of Thailand
shdmn replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sure, I will get right on compiling a list of things that are right in front of your face. Just as soon as I complete the numerous requests for internet links that people can find themselves by spending 10 seconds doing a google search. Would you like anything else sir? -

That's a pretty heavy lift. It's just so hard to find whining in this thread and on this board. Boy howdy you sure have me in a corner on that one. -
Thailand hopes to welcome tourists to Bangkok, top cities next month
shdmn replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That sounds more like what someone who is trying to quit drinking would say. "I'll just have this one last bender and then I am quitting for good." You should create yet another "I am taking my ball and going home" thread where you all can go and continue to bash Thailand some more. -

One less farang around as I am sitting on the beach. Tell your friends. None of you will be missed. -

Another compelling argument, backed by even more hard data. I feel so owned. -
If they got rid of all the xenophobic posts it would be a lot better around here imo. Too much anti-Thailand and anti-China stuff.

Like Phuket did? Oh wait. I gotta admit thought, your well thought out argument, backed by hard data, is quite compelling. -
Municipal Fiber typically doesn't use amplifiers, or any other active components, so it should theoretically be less prone to power problems. Unless of course the power goes out at the telco building where the lines terminate. Also, it's immune to electrical interference. So fiber is much better in theory. Of course you will need a fiber modem in your home and that needs power, but you could hook that up to a UPS.

VIDEO: Jomtien Beach Road collapses due to heavy storms
shdmn replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
So that would be a little past Soi 11. A fair ways down the road. -
Pretty hard to beat the combination of things Pattaya offers. Near Bangkok and the main international airport. Lots of accomodation to suit any budget. On the ocean with plenty of beaches around for sunbathing. Koh Larn nearby for even better beaches. Koh Samet not far for even better beaches still. Large malls for aircon shopping. Plenty of dining options for just about everything imaginable. Large enough for lots of city activities and nightlife, small enough that it's relatively easy to get around. Quite reasonable prices for everything in general compared to the rest of Thailand. Oh, and all the red light stuff, but nobody goes there for that.....????

There is a Makro near Jomtien and a Big C not far from that, so you don't need to move to Pattaya to be near those. Not walking distance but minutes away by scooter.

They do that on purpose to increase hardware sales. With lots of 'encouragement' from Intel and AMD

Western Union Send Limitations (Thailand)
shdmn replied to dddave's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
You need a receiving bank account # to use Wise. You can't send cash to someone for pickup like WU. Remitly is a cheaper alternative to WU that you can use to send cash for pickup.
