  1. Don't think it works that way, but worth asking the experts for a confirmation.
  2. I assume funds remitted from my overseas account to my Thai gf's Kasikorn account are included in the total declarable remittance amount? Ot just funds I send from overseas to my own Thai account?
  3. Strrrrrriiiike! Where there are bananas, the jungle will be full of monkeys. -Confucious
  4. Russia will get what it wants and everything returns to business as usual. German chancellor will be the AFD's Alice Weidel and her party will becomes the ruling party by end of the year. The rest of the good parts of Europe will continue to wake up. My Phuket "luxury" condo will continue to depreciate. My lifetime body count will surpass 2000. New cars here will cost a bit less.

    Boring AF, avoid. Or drive to Buriram city for the closest fun.
  6. Easy. Just open your bank app's credit/debit card section and show it to the hotel check-in staff.
  7. Win-win incident! A piece of trash is taken out of circulation by a bunch of dirty pigs, and the pigs are permanently taken out of law enforcement circulation.
  8. Take one letter out of the Boeing and you're let with a more suitable "BOING!"
  9. Live among bananas, expect monkeys.
  10. Same aircraft, a day or two before. Creepy but unlikely a factor.
  11. Yikes. You can actually see some passenger bodies being violently ejected upwards/sideways out of the fuselage in the cloud of debris in the first 2 seconds after impacts.
  12. Watching a presser now. Tower sent a bird warning, 1 minute later pilot sends mayday, 1 min later they're down.
  13. Depends on the weight of the bird(s) and velocity. If it ingests a coupla big ass Canada geese, it won't fare too well.
  14. It was this way long before Asiana 214. Numerous incidents attributed directly to seniority culture. An extreme example was the KAL 747 that went into Nimitz Hill in Guam (hundreds dead). Has it improved in the meantime? Sure. But as someone who knows a little bit about this culture (as well as the industry), I'm not convinced that the old ways/habits have gone away as much as they need to, and neither are quite a few friends of mine who have worked as sim trainers for the 2 big K carriers in ICN. Having said that, it's way too early to speculate. But it sure as heck to me is looking like a situation that didn't need to end this badly. But what do I know, I'm just a AN monkey.
  15. Korean carriers have had many many incidents/accidents and historically have a REALLY bad CRM and crew hierarchy culture. We'll see if this played a part once again, or what factors came together to cause this. Perfect weather, adequate runway.
  16. If every tourist stopped using jet skis, there'd be no scams. If every tourist stopped paying 100 baht for 40 bt motorbike taxi rides, there wouldn't be any overcharging. If every tourist stopped paying 2000-5000+ for kitty, it would cost 500-800 like it does Thai men. See where I'm going with this?
  17. When I can't wipe my own ass anymore or start losing my marbles, I hope I have the balls to take 2mg of fentanyl and go sleepy bye. 50 now, would be nice to make it to 70 or a bit more in good health/mind.
  18. Wrong incident. That was the Azerbaijan Air one.
  19. Nasty. No gear, full speed into the barrier. Latest update is only 3 survivors pulled out of the wreckage so far. Out of 181 total souls on board (incl 2 Thai nationals).
  20. Where there's bananas, there's gonna be monkeys.
  21. Only your passive aggressive azz seems to care one iota about your ability, or rather, pathetic Downy level inability to use the internet. NOGAS
  22. Reason #28365533 to never buy a condo here (I'm a 2-time idiot in that respect). The condo management can put up all the "Rentals under 30 days are illegal" signs they want, nothing is ever (or very rarely) enforced when push comes to shove, or it is dealt with super late.
  23. Just jump off the ledge.
