Data collection is happening all around you on every device now 24/7. Where you go Where you've been. What you've been messaging about is even open to the platform owners data collection and censorship. All those TOS that you agree to to use the phone and app you agree to let it happen. There is no newsbreaking story to write about when it's in TOS you agree to. All this info is bought and sold in the open market daily. Hardly a conspiracy or secret. Sorry to disappoint you.

UPDATE: My vet recommended /menitons WAT Nong Yai in Pattaya. Said she had another customer have their pet cremated for 500 baht. we called them, and they hung up before we could get any questions answered. Had the vet call them back and she said they said to just show up and tell them what you want and they'll take care of it. We got there and they were all a little confused. However, they were completely willing to throw her into a dumpster furnace and burn her up. Obviously this is not what we were expecting or wanting. So I bit the bullet and we took the long taxi to to Thai Pet Care as we knew exactly what we could expect upon showing up. They were very nice, gave us time to say goodbye, said a little prayer. We also had the option of adding a monk to say a prayer for an additional 1000 to 1500. (price we paid was 2300 for what we did). They are delivering the ashes to us in an urn for a small fee of 200 baht extra today so we don't have to make 2 trips. They will also pick up your pet from your home or vet if you do not want to participate in any of the cremation. Was it the Sistine Chapel? no. But it was nice enough as a nice goodbye to a beloved family member instead of just dropping her off in a box at the vet.

Most services accept a voip number. Sign up for google voice and get a number. I use it for 95% of everything for these types of two steps. Occassionally you get a bank that will ONLY allow a "real" number. Those are a PITA because typically you don't want to give up your real number tied to say apple, but you also aren't using it or can't while here. In that case I park my main number at numberbarn and get my texts to it there. but getting a free voip number from google is gonna be your best and easiest choice. Then it gets sent to your phone and computer and where ever else you want it. I actually use it as my way to call people in the usa still from thailand, if they are older and do not have any of the 50 messenger apps out there like my father.

these are only annoying when they require a 'real' number and will not accept a VOIP. these are done for your protection, not annoyance. However Google is a complete invansive company where teh cEO says you do not deserve privacy and need their overwatch on you. As does FB, Twitter, TikTok, IG, Amazon, and more. Your cell phone now is an actual spy device against you with the microphone on at all time recording you (yes, this is real). We actually pay for and install the government and tech to spy on us for our little convenniences in life.

After reading this and all the online lawyers here who are also grand-standng on their countries' holier than thou (supposed laws) and righteousness against Thai culture, I was curious what the legal ages are in the USA right now as a comparison. No, it's not 18 as a standard. Close to half of the States in US allow for fully consenting age to be 16. No loopholes needed. Then, as you menition, add in marriage, and many states go down to the age of 13 as allowable, and 3-5 actually go down to 10 years old!!! That shocked me. I can't believe that some of these laws haven't been updated to more modern sensibilities yet. Yet, to my dissappointment, you now have the woke culture sitting there and propping up movies like "cuties" on netflix that is glorifying the sexualization of girls 10 and 11 years old under the guise of "empowerment". This world has really gotten twisted since the pandemic.

You just repeated my opening statement. Thank you for agreeing with me that it's 100% wrong and immoral today. However, comparing the propogation of a species for survival due to the necessity of their biological expiration and the wholly unneccesarriness of canabolism and slavery which were choices to hurt other humans are not in the same galaxy, let alone ball park. Like trying to compare the creation of life to the stoning of someone to death as the same thing.

I'm not in any way arguing that this is moral for someone to do, It is NOT. but this is an argument against what somoene else said is not human nature. It was only 120 years ago that humans in the most civilized societies had a life exptectancy to age 40. It was normal and quite natural for females to be married at 12 and be birthing at age 13 or 14. If we did not do that as a species for 1000's of years we wouldn't have survived. Especially since the younger you are the more easily you bounce back, and the more you children you can have (to beat the odds of many kinds of early death). It's only since distribution of food and medicine have we been able to extend our lives and view those ages as strictly children in the microscope of today's exptected life expectancy of near 80. Taking out 10'000's of years of human nature takes a little time. Even in the 50's it was ok to marry a girl in her mid teens. Remember, this in the terms of the macro sense has been but a blink of an eye. Biological food for thought

It breaks my heart that I wasn't there when her heart attack happened. I'm always home and she was always next to me. Maybe if I was there I could have gotten her help soon enough as she wasn't old. Or at least she been comforted having me near at the end instead of alone. Odd how we push human qualities to our pets isn't it?
-
ok. that might put the back in the running. On their site they say we have to come back personally to pick up the remains. 1 hour each way (with no traffic) and the resulting gouging taxi fairs make it less attractive than if I can find something in central area (or the Na Klua WAt if they offer small service).
-
That's what we are looking for. What WAT did you attend? Na Klua seems to be the only one mentioned here or by Vet

aw. I thought that might be a local link when I clicked it.

Yes, the gf would like something more like this. It's a little more soothing than dropping off a box at the hospital and leaving. She was a loved family member and will be treated as so in death as in life. is there a way to find a LINE id or phone number or something where I can get information on how to arrange? (or maybe you even have more precise location) or how do I research WATS local to me?

No. I am a renter in a condo complex. Yes. It would be nice to have a permanant grave like that to visit when it strikes me. Luckily we live in the digital age and have 100's of pictures and videos of her. She should have had another good 8-12 years easy. So sad. And we have 4 cats. 3 are "cats" but this one was a family member who was a shadow. Not to say I wouldn't be saddened if one of the others passed away. But this one was one of those rare one's that seemed to have cognizant intelligence and gave actual love back.

Awaiting queue for license. And no longer simple 500 baht fine. looked again, and it was 20 kilometers. And hey, thanks for the sympathy.

Hi. Our furry family member had a totally unexpected heart attack and passed away last night. She should have had another good 12-15 years to live so this has been devastating to the family. Had no signs of illness. Anyways, what are my options in town here in Pattaya. Close to Central/ Pratamnuk preferred. So far I've found Thai Pet Center. Which seems nice, but is over 15 kilometers away and we'll have to visit twice. Really that's the only negative I see with them. Also the most expensive, but wouldn't care if they were only 5 kilometers away Other option is the hospital, which seems a little cold. I'm also told the temple in Jomtien does this. But have no info on what that would be like or what we'd do for that if anyone can share information on that here in the forum. Thank you for your help in advance.

Only place I ever seen that, even in the United States, was an old warehouse building that was converted into apartments/condos. Ceilings and floors were cement and thick and walls brick. Once you closed your door, you could hear nothing, and people right outside your door could not hear you even if you were throwing a full blown concert.

10 per bus you have to get on.
