AuBon Pain has some decent bagels. I like their Jalapeño Cheese ones very much. Not all locations have all of the choices however. The Onion bagel is good too.

OP says: “I looked at the Corolla Cross and it might do the trick but the reviews I read weren't very favourable. Our experiences do not match what reviews that you’ve read. My wife drives a 2022 Cross and we have found it to be reliable, well built, fuel efficient and fun to drive. Highly recommended.

My experience at Cha-am IM office, and in conversation with Hua Hin IM office, is that only 800K in bank is accepted. I renewed my extension of stay-retirement last month and only the 800K was allowed. I deposit, via Wise, more than the 65K/month that should be accepted but is not. This has been my experience for 3 years.

Toyota Corolla Cross sport(Benzin model not hybrid)
TucsonDavid replied to mrmicbkktxl's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
My wife drives a Toyota Cross Hybrid and we both are very happy with it. Great fuel economy, excellent driving comfort and yes with plenty of power to pass a car or truck on the motorway. Hers is an original model and has had no problems. Highly recommended. -

Injury around elbow from 10 pin bowling
TucsonDavid replied to homeseeker's topic in Health and Medicine
I’m a tennis player and have been for several decades. As others have said your injury sounds just like tennis elbow, which I’ve had. Besides the ice and ibuprofen, as others have also recommended, I use an elbow strap. Put on so that the pad is just below the elbow on the side of your arm facing away from your body and tighten just enough to provide support. Will help the tendon heal and prevent further injury. Good luck. -
Current Entry Requirements
TucsonDavid replied to samisaurus's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The published entry requirements and what the Immigration Officer does at the airport are two different things. A medical doctor friend of mine returned last week from 3 months in Sweden and had a difficult experience at the Suvarnabhumi airport Immigration counter. He was never asked for his vaccination record but the officer demanded that he have insurance and a recent PCR test. The front line officer and the supervisor both said the same thing, unfortunately never of them had any English speaking skills. Fortunately my friend has a Thai wife whom he called and after a 40 minute conversation he was allowed to enter Thailand. So be prepared for either a smooth entry or a difficult entry. -

SURVEY: What are your biggest issues in Thailand?
TucsonDavid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Things that concern me here in Thailand: 1) The requirements for the yearly renewal for my Extension of Stay-Retirement that can change in the blink of an eye. 2) The 90 Reporting requirement that asks me to verify the same address that I've had for 6+ years. 3) The rising cost of living while my pension income increases at a much lower rate. -
I agree with Kenny202’s comment. I’m from Arizona and evaporative coolers work great when the humidity if 30% or less. Since that rarely happens here, good fans will move the damp air and help folks feel cooler, and should save you some money when purchasing compared to an evaporative cooler.

Here in Hua Hin you would take a copy of your Vaccination Certificate and Passport Picture page to Hua Hin Hospital. Go to the Cashier window and pay 50 Baht, then take your copies and cashier receipt to the Information desk. These papers will be taken, you give the nurse your phone number, you will be given a receipt and they will call you when the booklet is ready to be picked up. It took 2 weeks for me.

I am in Hua Hin and will get my Vaccination book thru Hua Hin Hospital this Friday. 50 Baht, information desk lady took copies of paper and vaccine certified letter. Except for the lines to pay the 50 Baht, an easy process.

I’ve been using TransferWise (Wise) for the past 15 months to transfer money from the US to my BKK Bank account here in Thailand with zero problems. Most transfers are completed within 3 hours, with many being completed in less than 20 minutes. When setting up the transfer, choosing the ACH method works best and is the fastest method.
