  1. You really need to contact PEA I suspect as you may also have to pay for a new transformer(which might be more than 135 meters)/poles as well as wire - could be a nasty surprise if not prepared.
  2. I used OLT last two years with no issues (had used TaxAct for a decade but last year they required US phone number when I did early Jan (they removed later). As do not have state return no charge. IRS refund received Feb 1. Note there is no OLT AGI requirement for free federal return.
  3. I do not use but would check that limit has not changed (an update perhaps causing a new limit?). I did note son had to wait excessive time for simple bank balance using BBL app yesterday so they may be having communications issues.
  4. Note there does seem to be current construction (mostly hidden from road view) that seems to indicate money is being spent on facilities. Website remains just about useless for any information on doctors (or much of anything) however.
  5. The one rated 2.1 from over 500 reviews on Google Maps?
  6. He has had marriage extensions so no need for a new visa - just change reason for extension. In my case CW required wife attend to make sure she knew my status was changing (and perhaps my choice of wife?).
  7. And they are located in Thailand? Top line Thailand is plastic. Never said land line phones were not available - just not common anymore. ????
  8. They went out with land line phones - spin mop/light weight plastic is today.???? This is today's version if you really want old wringer mop. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/genuine-joe-gjo60466-splash-guard-mop-bucketwringer-yellow-i1362798769-s3444008847.html
  9. Actually the screwdrivers required to open HDD are available at most computer/hardware shops and once pull discs easy to scratch them beyond use.
  10. You are having treatment for heart disease? Has your heart doctor recommended this? Hospitals have uncoated pills but as said most in pharmacy have coating. And never make the mistake of asking for baby aspirin (as many of us used to call them).
  11. If asking about Thailand do not believe they are available anywhere, nor are there any firm plans to make them available yet.
  12. As said the spin mop is very good and if you have the cash high quality units are available from Scotch Brite (but a lot more expensive). https://www.lazada.co.th/tag/3m-scotch-brite-mop/
  13. To answer OP - yes they are easily available here. There are dedicated online suppliers such as above and one I often use https://bangkokdrugstore.com/ These sources often have items not listed online if you ask and will likely be more reliable for fresh/properly stored stock than many soi drug stores. I often buy Tylenol from Lazada and Shopee with no issues.
  14. Suspect payment is due until equipment has been returned and accepted (you already stated you used it in December). The equipment itself may draw charges of misuse/damage (is there is a scratch anywhere). As much as it hurts it is often best (for family) to bow out and let the wife take care of it (it is her contract).
  15. You did notice that was posted 3.5 months ago?
  16. Several factors - but yes Wise does become less attractive for larger transfers as fee based on amount sent. To send using Bangkok Bank New York the ACH transfer must be in international format (most US banks will not do but believe Schwab does. There will be a fee at BBL NY (which Bangkok Bank website lists - based on amount sent) plus receiving fee in Thailand (.25% in range 200-500 baht). You will want to send USD for conversion in Thailand.
  17. Actually it can be more than daunting. My new Samsung fell on floor in first week to become trash (just not hand friendly for pickup from desk). Another brand spammed me in Chinese (after setting up in English). Both needed to fed (charged) more than a child. As it is open knowledge some brands phone home with all info recorded not sure they can be called safe. Apps are only as safe as the maker makes them. Then they change (upgrade) every few months to make you learn everything again and keep the app makers busy. Not to even get into them trying to be smarter than the average bear and never twice operating the same. Unless needed (and know many need) prefer to remain non internet Nokia phone person.
  18. The issue is they do not know until a biopsy is actually done and often they will be negative (most of us consider that a good thing). Today they can often test/find/remove cancers that in the past would not be found until too late for successful actions based on early testing/treatment. Yes it does mean we have/pay for more tests but in most cases this is a doctors decision based on medical issues rather than a hospital call.
  19. What does Wise have to do with smartphones? You can run Wise on computer and for US banks Wise can draw funds directly once set up. But indeed there are charges.
  20. Indeed - and the screens are so large on "smart" phones as to make them more energy hungry than a laptop, too large to hold, and a deadly weapon needing a briefcase to carry (perhaps that why younger men run around with a tote bag these days)? There should be room for cash/cards for many years. And tested/secure computer programs for banking rather that the rat's nest of 'trust us' apps.
  21. Perhaps we are happy not to know - and be here rather than there.
  22. Have not used pen ink in more than a decade - computer copy is fine. But believe they want blue ink if using that method.
