  1. I believe you speak out your anal orifice.
  2. The 800k is easily transferred with a Thai will. Just doing a will for the 800K is 5k baht and 5% or 10% xfer fee by the court when you pass.
  3. People who can think critically will ask questions the ruling class would rather not answer. Compliant citizens is their goal.
  4. Whatever screen you're looking at this text on, the guy who discovered this technology was a family friend. He had severe muscular dystrophy, and when he tried to find reasonable live-in care in Texas, was dismayed at the ridiculous cost. I tried to find someone from Thailand who would be thrilled at the opportunity to care for this guy. THAT was a no-go. For starters, a person needs to have a Bachelors degree just to apply for a visa to enter the US. All he needed was someone to do the washing, cooking, cleaning, and help him get around. There are no common sense laws in place. No wonder people are coming to Thailand for reasonably priced care.
  5. Teaching critical thinking is frowned upon at every school system I've worked in.
  6. I was taking care of a sick relative in California who needed 24 hour care. When I looked into finding a daytime nurse to spell me (and anyone who has gone through such caretaking KNOWS what a toll it can take on you!), the cheapest medical assistance I could find was $30 PER HOUR with a MINIMUM of eight hour shifts x five days a week. Needless to say, I sought other options.
  7. Well! Imagine my surprise - my Youtube is back on WITH adblocking on Chrome. Greedy turds.
  8. I have two air pistols and ALWAYS bring one whenever I ride my pushbike to deter feral beasts aka soi dogs. I DO carry it in a basket in the front and always place a rag on top for the very reason OP is asking. Try as I might, I could never find a definitive answer to whether or not they are legal. Thai laws - clear as mud.
  9. These START at 15k for a studio. OP stated 8k.
  10. I use raw Brave, NO tweaking, no adblocker. I believe Brave does adblocking automatically out of the box.
  11. I have trouble believing they're actually going to sit down and talk policies. A quick photo op is more likely.
  12. Brave browser has no blocking problems AND no ads.
  13. Check out hipflat.com: https://www.hipflat.co.th/en/market/condo-jomtien-fpsfko These prices are often flexible.
  14. I understand we're not to make comments on "another slow news day," so I won't do that.
  15. Buy a new mouse. If that doesn't fix it, then it's something else.
  16. Two mistakes: 1. Riding an elephant. 2. Riding an elephant when you are over the age of 20. Sum num na.
  17. But it has NO effing place in this topic. Stupid arguments searching for a venue.
  18. I lived in Chanthaburi for about a year while maintaining a condo in Jomtien where I had the TM30 registered. It was a royal pain in the butt. Chanthaburi immigration refused any and all services except one re-entry stamp. I closed out the Jomtien place and moved all my stuff to Chanthaburi and registered as such, but can't wait until I'm done with this place. Complain all you want about Jomtien IO, they're many times better than Chanthaburi.
  19. Fercryingoutloud, can we please leave the politics out of at least ONE article? The BS is at a much more local level.
  20. I've told this story before, and here is one more time - I got sick of Thailand, moved to Mexico, and was back in six weeks. As far as going back "home," I visit family & friends in the US once or twice a year and am reminded why I don't live there any more. Bored I can tolerate, US BS I can't.
  21. Did you ask the folks I pointed you towards what they would charge just to double check your passport package? I'm sure they wouldn't charge the whole figure I quoted you if you explain you just want someone to help get you through the goal posts of success here.
  22. This is the latest I could find: https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/instructions-for-ds-82-passport-card-application/
  23. Be careful about option 5. I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE I SAW IT, but I thought one of the requirements was to obtain a money order to cover the cost of them returning the passport through the mail because they were no longer accepting self-addressed postage paid envelopes. Double and triple check that last bit.
  24. When my son was 4, he behaved this way. Then he grew up.
  25. You DO know people laugh AT you and not WITH you?
