Millions forced to skip meals as UK cost of living crisis deepens
Boomer6969 replied to Scott's topic in World News
But.. what did they fee the chicken with? But I agree, a lot safer than one of those English breakfasts.. -
I am busy right now, but I'll keep this in mind and come up with my "blame the victim" post shortly after lunch. A bit difficult, as I remember the pre-Covid Thong Lor, pee tests and body searches...

Internet banking change.
Boomer6969 replied to owl sees all's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
This is an annoying trend, and not only banks are involved, Lazada for instance forced me to install their app to transfer from my wallet to my bank. I guess that now everybody has access to a smart phone while only a fraction of the population has a computer at home, so they are pragmatic. I have to look into IOS emulators, but I am not too hopeful. -

How to get a stray cat out of our house.
Boomer6969 replied to khaepmu's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Just let it where it is, it will die eventually and smell bad for a few weeks. Just get one of those "Dead cat" deodorants from Makro. -

Like most of today's financial markets. They worry me just as much as crypto as my pension depends on them. But indeed we live in strange times where wealth has become a tradable product instead of being a reward for production. -

OMG, with all these Russians Phuket must be now the second most unpleasant place in the world, just after Moscow. -
Beware, Thai police checkpoint on-the-spot fines jumped to 1000 baht

It is indeed, in that it is the idiot (cheap) tourists who are getting fleece by the Patong police, and that for decades. -
Zero-dollar tourism not a concern for tourism sector in Phuket
Boomer6969 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Backpackers go to guesthouse at 400 THB a night, Chinese go to hotel at 2000 to 6000 a night. Can this subtle hint get your modest brain into gear? And I won't speculate about the often brainless shopping by Chinese tourist... -
Zero-dollar tourism not a concern for tourism sector in Phuket
Boomer6969 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
It is "zero Dollar" only for the small players: street food, motorbike rental, small hotels and guesthouses, motorbike taxis, etc. But any "zero Dollar" tourist will have a larger contribution to the Thai GDP than a backpacker, or budget westerner. -

You are not the only one in this situation. All my UN former colleagues have managed to get their ASHI coverage approved, I quote our association's focal point: "The only proof of my Cigna insurance was the very same you attached. I had applied end of September, perhaps by then, and as a reaction to your “groundwork” earlier that month, they had decided to accept the “open-ending-date” version. I am certain, for your next attempt it will be sufficient.". The next attempt is 5 years down the road, but never mind the alternative didn't required any juggling, so I went down the path of least resistance.
