  1. 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.
  2. I think if you fail you can just go again so no big deal other than having to pay the fee multiple times.
  3. 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.
  4. It's not just talk this time. It will be a several years before they get to Nong Khai but the first phase to Nakhom Ratchasima is going full steam ahead.
  5. Yes it is available. https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Digital-Banking/Bualuang-mBanking/How-to-Use/Cardless-Withdrawal
  6. But how do you get to Pattaya if you can't go through Bangkok without quarantine? Does that not include Suvarnabhumi airport? I would need to see details of what the plan is exactly before I try book anything.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Astrazeneca is Astrazeneca. It does not need to come from a UK approved Astrazeneca factory as far as I know. That is only required for their domestic supply.
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. One less farang around as I am sitting on the beach. Tell your friends. None of you will be missed.
  14. Another compelling argument, backed by even more hard data. I feel so owned.
  15. 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.
  16. Like Phuket did? Oh wait. I gotta admit thought, your well thought out argument, backed by hard data, is quite compelling.
  17. These are fairly common side effects for all of them. I got all this after 1 shot of Astrazeneca. Only lasted a few hours.
  18. 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.
  19. So that would be a little past Soi 11. A fair ways down the road.
  20. 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.....????
  21. 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.
  22. They do that on purpose to increase hardware sales. With lots of 'encouragement' from Intel and AMD
  23. 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.
