  1. Update from last month https://sherrings.com/automatic-exchange-of-information-tax-evasion-law-thailand.html And formerly, in July https://www.taxathand.com/article/26702/OECD/2022/Thailand-signs-CRS-MCAA
  2. How would they do this if i have my foreign passport translated into Thai? (Amphoe requests this to get yellow house book)
  3. Actually, my experience is the opposite. If I don't care too much about pitches even Google won't understand me. Then I have to repeat what I said and consciously stress the pitches. Then Google understands. I was wondering if this is the reason that Thais sometimes don't understand me: in the wild, I do flatten the pitches (people complain about this). And maybe I flatten them a lot more than when dictating to Google.
  4. Thais often don't understand my Thai. Simple things, like ordering a coffee at 7/11. Google understands almost everything I say in Thai and will write it correctly in Thai (I can read it, but if I write it myself I need 2 minutes per word). I chat with Thais by dictating my text (in Thai) to Google, Google understands and writes everything, and then the Thais think I am Thai :). Why is it that Google understands my Thai better than Thais do?
  5. 1. Drink a lot on the flight. A lot means: you have to pee every 2 hours. Urine has the color of white wine (not the color of beer). Almost everybody on a plane doesn't drink enough and is dehydrated. A lot really means a lot. 2. Keep the leg elevated, i.e. fly business class. 3. Wear graduated (explained by another poster) compression stockings. Not the cheap stockings the airlines sell. 4. Walk a lot during the flight. Every 20 minutes, as Lacessit said. Flight attendants won't like it. Ignore them. It's your health, not theirs. 5. At check-in, take one of your Eliquis. OR take a prefilled injection of Clexane 40mg as described by others (only once, shortly before the flight, not every 3 hours). Not both. No Xarelto ( you said you still have Eliquis), no Warfarin.
  6. It's both
  7. Exactly. Test for rabies of the animal can only be done after it died. It involves slicing up the brain. Expensive, too. You don't want to wait that long with the vaccination (I know of one guy who didn't get vaccinated but then the dog died. He really had its brain examined. No rabies. The guy didn't sleep very well until he got this result)
  8. OP thinks 120 is expensive. Maybe he is used to Ukrainian prices? The mentioned creams are mostly antibiotics and shouldn't really be put on wounds (exception Fucidine). Thais use Betadine, it's cheaper and better. Is also available as cream but too expensive for OP (i think 130). Best is medical honey, not avalable in Thailand and really expensive (about 400).
  9. It means "do you understand?" pa is short for reu pao (literally "or not"), question particle. This is colloquial speech.
  10. Normal price here. In Germany, 6500 THB. Under fluoroscopy, of cause. No, this is not a government-subsidized price. This is the price if you pay out of pocket. Subsidized price is 0 THB.
  11. Sukhumvit Hospital is not cheap. They try to market themselves as a first class hospital ( which they aren't ) and hope for medical tourists and the new inhabitants of gentrified Phrakhanong (such as you, probably). Kluainamthai is cheap, prices and service are directed at the people who used to live in that area (it used to be a working class area).
  12. Probably no stock. (It costs like 1000 US) But not really necessary either.
  13. That one, you take it 3 times a day. Or just buy amoxicillin 500mg, available everywhere (not only in pharmacies), and add one of those to the tablets you bought. Then you get 1000 amox + 125 clav, and you take this twice a day.
  14. This is all very well, but describes a dying lifestyle. Go to the Mall Thapa, hardly any farang there. Walk around the condo towers there, all Thais. (Not nice and not exotic) Or try airport link Huamark, and Seacorn. (same) Unfortunately, this is the future of Bangkok's city Thais lifestyle. They admire Singapore. Soulless and boring. Thais like it.
  15. I wouldn't say any of this. Is just plain bad. This can get you killed. Same for the continent, be careful. Don't use dam to describe people. Implies they are not white, that's the worst you can say about a Thai. It's not the same if a Thai says this about Thais, or if a foreigner says this. Just avoid the topic. And if you see a girl always tell her how beautifully white she has become during the last weeks or months. She will invariably say how dam she is.
  16. Same here, but never felt good about it. That's why I read this thread. I will try AIS next time.
  17. It's the number 4 cause of death in the US. If you call this unlikely...
  18. Check your intraocular pressure. Discuss with an eye doctor whether you really want to continue it - the benefits are, according to many studies, not real - the risk for the eyes is small but real. Maybe change to Chondroitin
  19. Ex moved back from Samui to Bangkok. The traffic jams in Samui were no better than in Bangkok. But the locals were threatening to kill her (over relatively minor disputes), and Thais (and farang who follow the news) know that people on Samui actually do this. In Bangkok, she had never been threatened.
  20. In Western European countries, there are now typically more than 100 - almost 200 - covid deaths per day per 100m population. In a country like Spain, that adds up to tens of thousands per year. It's about 10 times more than road fatalities. In Germany, it's about 50,000 deaths per year (road fatalities about 4000). In the US, 100,000 (covid is the number 4 cause of death in the US, and this is not going to change, as American society has accepted this). Tell those dying from covid that it's "definitely over as life-threatening virus". As another poster said: lets hide the statistics of road deaths, so driving can be safe again!

    Don't they sell (mostly) food? That would explain it.
  22. Sure, it does. Sounds better than Nazi, Hitler, Tyson... ????
  23. My question was, what's your dog's name?
  24. And that's exactly wrong. Owners don't bite kids. Dogs bite kids.
