Yes, you have to verify your address. Easily done with yellow book. But nothing from the US Embassy as stated in the OP. Even a Yank in the USA has to verify their address to open an account in USA, though a license works. If no yellow book, then OP will need to get CoR from Thai Immigrations.

Present BkkBank acct, probably less than 3 yrs ago.

Never heard of that requirement or been asked to provide. I (a Yank) have had numerous accounts with numerous banks in TH. Have BkkBank account now, simply for Soc Sec deposits, and the wife has a bunch of multiple accounts

Not much detail on them, since someone posted an advert about a month ago. Finally noted they are 2 yrs old. No mention if show room cars, test drive cars or staff company cars. Only about 150k off a new one, when on sale, (829k - 869k), so not sure I'd bother.

Was a Datsun/Nissan fan back in USA. Datsun 310, Nissan pick up (only new vehicle ever bought in US), and Nissan Maxima, a very fun car to drive. Thought about buying one of the 300Zs many times. Wouldn't touch a Nissan now, or the past 25 years.

Geez, I'm not that old. My mother lived 5 years longer than my age now, and she was a stone alky & chain smoker. I never smoked cigs, and rarely drink alcohol, the past 10 ish years. Already passed my father age, by a few months, and he had the same lifestyle as mom. Might have another 10 years in my, as my one brother is 7 yrs older and still going strong. My cousin, mother's side, is 15 yrs older than me. Got a lot more Soc Sec to collect, and continue to be a blight on US economy. Though if the didn't steal those funds, it would be self generating & flush. Love how people comment and members they know nothing about

Never let the facts get in the way of a good spin: 39.2 % + 58% = 48.5% of dems voted for it (source)

Plenty of good Thai food, most everywhere. Though I never seem to remember the name. But know where and why, which items I usually order. Had a nice Crispy Pork GraPao the other day. Have couple spots that put out nice Kaeng Khiao Wan (green curry). Panang & Massaman are favorites also, the latter hard to find, especially beef. Yum Woon Sen is another. If none available, always fall back on a Sweet & Sour or Ginger Chicken/pork/shrimp

Same ones that told them, she wasn't fit for the job in2020 Didn't even make the first cut to get in the 2020 primaries

Yep ... the dems have nobody else. No name recognition, no other progressive label to sell. The MSM savior, and they will be pumping her up, telling all, she has the backing of everyone, and the best thing since JFK Think selling WMD, covid, locdowns, the vaccine ... all for our own and the world's safety ... ... 2024 GO HARRIS 2024 ...

I eat some kind of meat/protein, almost everyday. Bacon today, pork loin yesterday. Salmon is always in the freezer & available. Same with eggs, and usually 2 scrambled most days as 1st meal. Do stay clear of fast food, none really here anyway, just KFC, and rare that I bother, as something I get when O&A, though haven't in some time now. Sweets, something everyday, maybe blueberries, or dark chocolate, as always in the house. Usually some kind of pastry a couple times a week. Evening snack seems to be a bowl of corn flakes & blueberries of late. Then a 12-15 hr intermittent fast till first meal around noon. Morning cup of black coffee is about it till then, while catching up on the world and trollin" AN. No alcohol, or very rare. Don't even have any in the house. Agree, cook & eat in mostly. Simply because we enjoy cooking, and dining out is very limited here especially if wanting AC. Not sure I'd go with OP's diet in the OP. Think it lacks some of the basics, as meats provide a lot of nutrition.

tic toc ... hope it was your first & last shot I'd point you to a peer reviewed study posted in the peer reviewed 'The Lancet', but it would be deleted.

MG (SAIC) setting the stage for happy sales & customers. Now if they'd include the ZS/EP/ES in with that warranty, that would be nice Not that I expect that we'll ever need it, as doubt the rest of the car will last longer than the battery & motors. Would be nice piece of mind though. If the Maxus 9 would have been released earlier, I think I would have been tempted to get that. Minor conversion and I'd never need a hotel again If not for the wife, the dog & myself would be happy living in that, playing the nomadic tourist. Still crosses my mind, and if a wee bit younger

So anything anti biden or harris is T cult ... <removed > lives MAGA ... a nice thought, but a pipe dream. Preserve what little is left is about all that is hoped, until digital money is forced upon all. That will be the final nail in the coffin. Why I'm happy not to be there. 3rd World countries rock The only thing the USA / UK / EU provide to the world, is comic relief to expats living elsewhere

Not in the T cult, but when it comes to which of the 2 is more qualified to lead ... ... harris is a joke, always has been, and always will be. Her qualifications for being picked as VP were and now as P nominee come down to 2 ... female ... mixed race A blind person can see that

While producing bz3/4x with CATL batteries and some production in China. That Chinese threat ... maybe should be the threat, of not building or supplying the parts that make their EVs possible to exist.

Brother & sis coming in Feb 2025 (advised against), and thankfully we'll meet up with them at end of the 'tour' of TH, in Bangkok, for last few days. Thinks we're going to just chill pool side, oops, water probably too cold. Only thing I can think of, is ICONSIAM, and just knocking around town, which depending which day, might not be easy. Nighttime is out, as I won't deal with the congestion, all aspects. Plus we can't leave the dog too long in the hotel by herself. They're the most worldly travelers I know, and got a feeling they are really going to be disappointed with TH, especially in February. They listened to their "OMG, you have to go to TH" friends. Except the Amazing Thailand they talking about, you're not going to see pass the smog. Did Nam & Cambo a couple months ago, and don't think they were impressed I suggested late May or late Oct/Nov, but nobody listens to me

As I stated, before biden even dropped out, a good choice, and well played by the dems, to wait as long as possible. They'll play the sex & race card, as the distraction right up to the election, and hopefully, people will buy it ... Hook Line & Sinker If 2020 is any hint of 2024, Harris is definitely the EC's choice to keep things just the way they are. Really no surprises here:

Bangkok & Thailand is a hard sell as a world class tourist destination ... IMHO 1. Art ... NO 2. Knocking around town ... YES 3. See #2, and not Q'ing up for overpriced food, that's silly 4. Maybe if the bar has a view, but alcohol is not tourist attraction 5. A day at the spa ... nothing special and don't need to travel for that ... Cannabis Sativa Body Massage ...

They finally got one thing right ...

You're playing the sex & race card already ...

Just finished last night. Slow start, but yea, hope S2 is out soon.

Some might judge a boss, candidate, company, by the people that stand behind them, and want to be a part of their, it's legacy. 92 ish % ... nuff said. Seem the OVP isn't exactly an open book on info either. Hmm, maybe because the allotted budget is a we bit over spending, which leaves a pretty big question, where did the rest go ? Some highlights ... full article here VP Kamala Harris Had 92-Percent Staff Turnover During Her First Three Years ... “People really, really do not want to work for Kamala Harris,” wrote former staffer Dan McLaughlin, January 2022. ... “Working for Harris is a nightmare, not just because she rides her staff hard, but also because she does so without the competence, decisiveness, and effectiveness that inspires people in politics to suffer under demanding bosses,” Dan McLaughlin wrote in a January 2022 National Review article titled, “People Really, Really Do Not Want to Work for Kamala Harris.” ... We calculated that for VP Harris’s 28 staff listed in the Senate report, the 2021 salaries added up to $2,334, 223. But President Joseph Biden’s congressional budget submission shows the OVP got $5 million for 23 full time staff in 2021 and requested over $6 million for 27 full time staff in 2022. Not like people didn't get an incentive to stay, with these salaries. You really must not want to be associated with someone to pass up those salaries.
