Why did he take 3 back but only choose 1? Size contest?

Building a teepee?

The only thing I want to hear from China is when I am getting my COVID reparations.  

I will eventually.  He's number 5 on the list I'm waiting for evidence for behind unicorns, leaprachauns, Santa Claus and a Thai woman who isn't a liar. 

There's a 7-11 not far from me.  I have walked there many times.  I decided to test the delivery service for fun and ordered two identical items.  They called me two hours after the order and told me they didn't have what I wanted but offered a replacement that I accepted.  They arrived 4 hours after the original order with only one item.  The test results were exactly what I expected. 

Find out what the biggest trophy is then go have one made double the size.  When no one Is looking pull it out and run around holding it high above your head shouting "FARANGS ARE THE BEST!"

No problem whatsoever. I have been eating raw beef here for over 20 years. Such as all from the Thai style raw beef they dip in spicy sauce, and tartare to carpaccio.

Try that raw pork in blood covered in flies like they serve in Isaan.  Let us know how it works out.

You didn't say what you want them for or for what country if any other than Thailand. I use James Martin <james AT mericanasiatax.com>

for US taxes

I avoid them like the plague.  I have no desire to answer the identical questions over and over again.  If I sat down in a bar where I came from and was inundated with "where are you from, what do you do, how long have you been here, where do you live and who are you with?" the interviewer would leave with less teeth than he arrived with.  After ten years it gets extremely tiresome.  

I can't see if they are shaved from these photos 

First Potus to avoid war since Jimmy Carter.  If he's a "maniac" he's sure doing a poor job of it. Why don't you provide a list of all the maniacal things you believe he did in your mind?  Full context references and actual convictions only please. Obama killed 3 US Citizens with a drone strike without due process.  Joe Biden killed ten civilians in Kabul seven of whom where children with a drone strike.  Make sure your list has juicy maniac stuff like that.  Mean tweets doesn't count.

You sound like a Biden voter trying to justify your vote for him. If it makes no difference whether you have a mentally competent or incompetent President why even have a President? Clearly there should be no place in the White House for a patient with senile dementia. And Biden seems to have early Alzheimer's or a variant now and what the hell will he one like in 5 years time when his term finishes? There is no justification for Biden being in the race other than his incumbency and his possible ability to beat Trump at the ballot box. But where's the fun in an election where one candidate Biden, cannot be allowed by his handlers, to even debate Trump.....because we both know he would be totally annihilated. 

The term "early Alzheimer's" is reserved for.people 65 or less.  Joe's Alzheimer's is called "right in time Alzheimer's".

Sounds like a ladyboy from khao san road. They always give people BJ's in the side streets for 500 baht too, not knowing the real goal is to steal their wallet and phones in the process. Used to happen daily multiple times.

Multiple times?! Why didn't you learn your lesson after the first time?

Definitely a Koel.  Thais call it Nok GaWOW because that's the horrible noise it makes. Brood parasites and when the young hatch despite being able to fly a get their own food they work their adoptive mother to the bone screaming at her to bring them food all day.  I found one with one eye once and took care of him for two years.  He hated me the whole time but he did love playing with my dogs.  I was in the pool the other day and one of them finally made me go inside with his constant screaming.   Annoying AF.

Hold your breath for an hour.  You will solve your problem and ours.

Don't call me Shirley 

Thanks for the reminder to stock up on everything I need to stay home for three weeks.  

People eventually tire of other people constantly claiming they are victims on slim or antiquated evidence.

I renewed my passport by mail using the services provided by the US Embassy. Easy and efficient.

That cost to me was about 1,900 THB if I remember correctly.

The important point is that when the embassy returned my new passport, it came with a letter on embassy letterhead with a signature. The letter informed Thai immigration of the issuance of the new passport and requested any relevant stamps be transferred to the new passport.

Without this letter, immigration at Chaeng Watthana in Bangkok would not proceed with the transfer.

Since this method of renewal is the only method available (I believe), I think your agent did that and received the letter I refer to.

Thus, they have you on the hook for doing the transfer, unless they are willing to hand over that letter (or Pattaya immigration does not require it).

This is outdated information as of April 2023.  The letter is no longer provided.  There is only a form provided by the US Embassy that you can hand to Thai Immigration explaining this.  This is the form.

The problem with that funnyness is that the thai's are so over-sensitive about criticism that no matter how you word it, it can be construed by a court as defamation. That's why most people just say nothing without constructive dialog.

They can't read between lines.  It doesn't matter how harshly you criticize them as long as you do it with a smile on your face and end it with a hearty sarcastic "THANK YOU VERY MUCH", that's all they hear and always say "Welcome" in return thinking you just complimented them.  Their fragile little egos are only overshadowed by the dimwittedness.  

Thais have no idea what sarcasm is. My review would have said " These tenants were number 1 for giving our cleaning staff the greatest challenge of their careers.  We want to thank them for putting their skills to the ultimate test.  The filthy bathrooms and kitchen were a welcomed but nearly insurmountable challenge.  They get the trophy for being the BEST of the WORST! CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉 and THANK YOU for reminding us that people like you are out there!". He would have sent you a thank you note.

Yes they are. However, their notarization may not be accepted overseas. If the entity requesting the notarization is aware that Thailand is not a signatory to the international apostille convention, they may not accept it. I was advised as such from a Thai lawyer who was a legalised Thai Notary. He was happy to provide notarization but warned me that it may not be accepted. Fortunately, the UK bank requesting it did accept it.

Notarized and apostilled docs are two different things.  You are conflating them.

Get a home tester and if you want more meds get them online. Always cheaper than local.
