Correct, and SSA can use the highest 35 years of earnings. Not just the last annual salary.

Why Do Thai Girls Love Getting Tattoos?
NedR69 replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I see many Thai women with butterflies, birds and feathers....most, if not all, are working in the entertainment business. Nothing wrong with tats if you can cover them with biz casual attire. But if you get that crap on your neck, hands, and chest...you are marked for life and everyone sees it. If your work is such that clients, work environment, etc may find this unprofessional, it's smart to not make that kind of life decision. Tourists and maybe some expats, that might possibly be destined to become an older beg-packer or cheap charlie from some crap hole country like ________________ (fill in the blank with your fav country to bash). Full sleeves, entire head (usually shaved bald, larger size gourd, bad teeth), well you are special, or especially...._____________ (fill in blank with your favorite derogatory word). Crap, how did I digress to talking about someone with a big gourd. 55 -

Thai Navy's Submarine Plans Stalled Pending Feasibility Study
NedR69 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This article leaves out a lot of details, like why the German engine won't be going in a Chinese sub...LOL. Instead, some China crap engine that has never been tested in submarines, not even China subs, and has known issues that will need resolving, like diesel exhaust venting in crew areas. Thai thought the Geman engine would come through, but that fell out, then Thai navy brass said ok anyway, just give us the sub with a China engine, we just want our submarine. -
White House Retreats from Public Eye After Trump Victory

I think you're in a tight spot, and at this point a departure probably won't get your deposits back and staying with the owner only may have issues with your immigration papers. Hope you can get it resolved.

Boats in Thailand - ferries, long tail, large, small, whatever type that carries passengers/customers are in the same league as motorbike taxis. If you board one, you are putting your life at the mercy of the boat operator and the tour operator. If that is the only mode of transport to a location, I won't be visiting it. In more developed countries, the first thing that would happen to the person in charge of the boat and all crew members - a urine test for alcohol and drugs...and not the BS roadside quickie test but the kind that go to a lab for testing.

Immigration System Overhaul Underway at Suvarnabhumi Airport
NedR69 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I've never seen long immigration lines in Suvarnabhumi, either arriving or stamping out, except during early quarantine days. IME, it's always the check-in with the airline that is slow. But that experience was when I flew Qatar flying west. Going in the other direction, Korean has a lot fewer bottom feeders, and the check-in and inflight experience is better. -
Mother Finds 16 Year-Old Daughter Allegedly Working at Bar in Pattaya
NedR69 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Similar experience with my wife and I living in Bang Saray. We only go to that part of Pattaya to go to Immigration, Tukcom, T21, BK Hospital, and once or twice Central Festival. I always say the same thing every time I go through that area, 'how can someone enjoy living in this area?'. I find it greasy and most filthy, just like the people there. The only bar we've ever been in was during mandatory quarantine, and walking street was dark, as in no lights and everything closed. -
Mother Finds 16 Year-Old Daughter Allegedly Working at Bar in Pattaya
NedR69 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
That's what I see as the biggest contributing factor for girls that go to the bars. There is no real parenting teaching them. My wife did not have children, but her brother and his wife have a 4 year old that lives with his grandmother. She speaks only Issan, and does not speak, read, write or understand Thai. He goes to school one or two days every few weeks with no consequences or disciplining. He'll turn out to be a fine example of a Thai man. Sad. -
Thailand Considers Law Revisions to Attract Foreign Real Estate Investment

Yes, it's called insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. -
