Lazada has just about anything you could ask for. I recently ordered several different widths, all self-adhesive, and they have the shipping down now to a science. Sometimes I receive overnight shipping!

Are Thai girls more feminine than Western girls?
HappyExpat57 replied to Hummin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I used to work in Puerto Rico - a truly hideous rock with equally hideous occupants. I would frequently fly to the Dominican Republic to get my freak on. There is NOTHING sexier than witnessing an angry Dominican girl having at someone. I couldn't understand anything they'd say, but talk about making the little soldier stand at attention!!! -

Mixed Reactions to Thailand's Proposed Casino Complexes
HappyExpat57 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No, you assumed wrong. He works in in one of the NON-tribal card rooms. And if you've ever been to the tribal lands in Washington, they're dirt poor ghettos. The dealers make barely liveable wages and Washing State has come down on ALL dealers about reporting their tips. That USED to be how it was a relatively decent living (reporting a small percentage of actual cash you took home nightly), but that loophole is closed. The casino owners sure drive nice cars and have beautiful, expensive homes though, so I guess it all evens out. -
The first two words of the topic are just setting up for a political fight - no debate, just angry arguments. NOT taking this bait.

Mixed Reactions to Thailand's Proposed Casino Complexes
HappyExpat57 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My son works for the gaming industry in Washington State. The casinos have promised for YEARS that some of the proceeds would go to schools and roads. Even more, the legal weed businesses have promised the same. Washington State is in the top ten for worst roads in the US. Their schools are an embarrassment. In a country rife with corruption, I see no up side to legalizing casinos other than lining pockets of those who control the industry. -
Thailand will go further than legalising same-sex marriage – PM
HappyExpat57 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You are locked into a mindset. You are wrong. You are too old and stubborn to admit you are wrong. We will just leave it at that. -
If you don't like it then don't patronize the businesses. For what it's worth, gay bashing is passé and the world will be better off when such hurtful dinosaurs that think this way join their ancestors in the ground.

Not another Wise question
HappyExpat57 replied to anchadian's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I don’t wish to be rude but why don’t you actually ask Wise? I've personally contacted Wise support and they will bend over backwards to help. Just give them a call, or they respond to Facebook queries VERY quickly. -
Queer Planet documentary ruffles homophobe's feathers

When you start writing laws that hurt the LGBTQ+ community - you are the hostile far right. -
I flew economy all my life, then China Air gave me a free business class upgrade. Like the drug pushers say, "The first one is free." I haven't gone back to economy since.

Since you quit drinking (wink) you will soon be able to afford premium economy or business seats. Problem solved, you're welcome.

A good friend of mine works for a major airline. He was telling me how, globally, corporate greed is starting to suffocate airlines just as it is doing to everything else. Pay and benefits have been cut drastically and they're having trouble finding pilots who will work under such conditions. I can only imagine the Thai airlines are following suit and soon perhaps the guy selling chicken nuggets on the street may be offered a job flying planes.

Trump found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records

Us, the financial addicts.
HappyExpat57 replied to swissie's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
The BEST thing that came from my divorce was a bankruptcy. I couldn't even get a gas credit card for five years. This taught me to live within my means, which then taught me to save/invest, and the rest is history. Enough money that I will never again have to worry about it, an exceptional credit rating, and a life I never would have thought in a million years I'd be living. It breaks my heart to see the people here, one of the wealthiest nations on the planet, drowning in household debt. Poverty is a man made construct and it is sickening to see. -

With dyed-in-the-wool idiots, it's best not to argue with them, just let them be wrong. -
Best tasting cow's milk in Thailand?

Same as asking what's the best tasting beer. Everyone has their own opinion, their own likes/dislikes. -
Do we actually need to Retire?
HappyExpat57 replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I had the good furtune to be offered an early retirement at age 46 due to a Navy base closure which I jumped on. What this afforded me was to think about what adventures I'd like to try. I worked a contract for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines which I'd probably still be doing except you had to work 7 days a week. We all need a weekly day off. After that, I decided after over a decade of being a scuba Divemaster that I'd get my Instructor certification. Thailand reportedly had one of the three best courses, so I came to try that. Nice for a few years but working so hard for NO money (not even tips) didn't set well. OK, I want to stay in Thailand, what am I qualified to do? Teaching English was a logical choice. And I'm STILL doing that now, though I fell into a sweet gig - part time, and I am my own master at this school. Works well for them, works well for me, and I plan on staying at this school as long as my body will allow it. Bottom line - I've had periods of complete retirement and found myself bored to tears. I really believe having a reason to look forward to weekends instead of EVERY day being a Saturday is the way to go. -
Krungsri now want passport ID
HappyExpat57 replied to proton's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I pretty much plan on carrying my passport any time I'm doing any transaction more than buying milk at 7/11. Better safe than sorry. -

For the most part, I'm staying out of this nonsense thread any more. Cultists keep throwing Faux Noise as their source and this is a waste of time. The latest bs - three Faux reps are talking to Don the con shortly after his conviction. During this spew of crap, the convict says "I never said 'Lock her up.'" AND NONE OF THE REPS CHECKED HIM ON THAT! They just looked on, dumb and stupid. They are knowingly ignoring his lies. Liars supporting liars. All of them guilty. -

Nope, not taking that bait any more, wasting my time showing you proof. You'd either ignore it, or trot your fanny over to those lying liars Fox Not News and dig up some more lies. THAT'S how I know you don't care. Judge you by your past. -

They're either trolling or too far gone into the cult to be saved. The good news is they are a dying breed. They know, too, and are doing everything they can in desparation to fix it so they stay in control. It's like trying to keep your sand castle from getting destroyed by the incoming tide. Vote for Biden, it's really all we can do here. Anything else is a waste of time and electrons. -

Cultists are outside convict's apartment building calling for death to the jurors. But you don't care.
