I use Magic jack for free calls to the US and Canada. Bank text won't work on that though. Regular texts do though. LINE has been great here also.

They'll treat the virus better than the tourists. Thats very nice of the big tourist operations owners that'll be safe somewhere else.

Today scattering of infections in our village. Never had any before yesterday. Not really any panic yet. People are tire it. But here in Sakon Nakhon its not prepared for much. Hospitals are always packed even before COVID-19. We'll see how well Anutin and Thailand's reliance on Sinovac works out.

Lots of good info. I'll screen shot this.

Great to know. I've got Skype, the free version. I assume you're using the subscription? I've got $29.00 credit, I wonder if that'll work for a few messages a month?

Are you sure it works for US bank verification? US banks use short code SMS. This doesn't work like regular SMS or TEXTs.

Banks use short code and it usually doesn't work for VoIP.

......scrap metal. Probably got 40 baht. YaBa is cheap with all the strife in Myanmar. Despite all this, all he probably thinks about is getting his next hit of YaBa, terribly addictive and life destroying drug. Totally rampant in Thailand.

Same here. 3 months, Moderna booster. (Bangkok) I haven't heard much about pfeizer boosters for expats lately leading me to believe there once again in short supply.

We ended up building a house far from others on a big plot of land. It was my wifes idea. I wanted to build closer on the main road close to the night market on another plot of land we have. I'm so glad we did build farther away. I hear the faint noise of the parties, 3 day funerals, night markets blaring music,etc. I also wonder about the other families who never complain. In any case its good to have a buffer zone if possible. Hopefully the party is ending soon and you can catch up on your rest.

Just get an Android Box and pay for good WiFi. You'll be able to watch anything, anytime,all the time. Live TV, HBO,First run movies,etc. Troypoint.com has great guides and advice to get started once you get your android box. Stop paying for True or any other tv box! https://troypoint.com/ I gaurantee you'll love it!

Hopefully. He thinks very highly of himself.

Ominous.

And charged for it making a profit. Also added VAT. Infuriating!

Thanks. Enjoy your week. Looks like we'll need a heater. The high on Monday is supposed to be 15 Celsius on Monday in Upper Sakon Nakhon. Brrrrr.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) "Thailand ranked 3rd to last worldwide on Covid-19 handling" https://thethaiger.com/coronavirus/thailand-ranked-3rd-to-last-worldwide-on-covid-19-handling We're still waiting for (Sakon Nakhon) for the Pfeizer 5-11 year old vaccinations. The government should have left it to the private sector to aquire the vaccines. To much red tape and corruption when the Government is involved.

Where can you get those and what do the "officially" call them? Air-conditioning is usually hard wired. Where would you attach the "metering device"? I'd like to get a few.

Awful as it is. It's possible.

It's also important to be able to blow things up. It's not all about negotiations these days. If all else fails just blow it up.

Are they buying their pipes from Thai Watsadu or Global House? Sounds like very bad quality.

Similar to the little children's nursery rhyme: "Round and round she goes, where she stops nobody knows...." Same dinasors, different party names all scrambling to do the same thing they've being doing. Ripping off the Thai people.

Asia is getting nailed right now. South Korea reported 90,000 cases today and Hong Kong is reeling. "S.Korea's daily COVID-19 count tops 90,000, basketball league halted" https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/skorea-reports-record-90443-covid-cases-daily-count-doubles-week-2022-02-16/ "Covid: Hong Kong's hospitals overwhelmed amid spike in cases" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-60339746

"PM Urges Continuous Push For Export Growth" I wish they would push for the import of a descent steak.

As long as your buying.

Get quotes from 3 places if you've got the time. Bring your Thai wife along to get the details and bridge the language gap. Check out Maxx and Cockpit's website and Facebooks pages for promotions and discounts. All in price seems reasonable with labor.
