Wife's CC (ttb or BBL (?) has no fees, yearly, monthly or interest, if paid during grace period. Only uses at vendors that off 3% rebate, or rare occasion when COD isn't available. My USA plastic I use for ATM has no fees, and reimburses the silly Thai bank ATM fee. No reason to have fees on your plastic, just chose financial institution a bit more wisely.

Definitely. At USA, I used to have 2 kegs in my front room bar, for easy access to the large front porch/bbq area Can't remember last time I drank a beer in TH, and maybe 12 in the last 3 years.

Yea, go figure ... ... a couple dudes fighting on the beach. Shocking, and so rare

1 hour or 50 kms from DMK

Well done ... his only mistake was turning himself in IF ... he was certain that he did shoot his dog.

No ... Jan 21st ... ฿34 / $1 Now ... ฿33.5 / $1 Feb, Mar, Apr DD @ BBL I might get concerned IF it goes below ฿30 / $1 ... ... or not, since it's done that numerous times in the past 20 years.

Say what ... I drove myself, literally and figuratively to drink, and the wife drove me home. Well, almost 20 yrs ago and beyond. TH is a location. Blame your stupidity of a country, if it makes you feel better

2022 MG ZS BEV ... Now @ 40k kms, 29+ months of owning. First 20k kms put on in first year. Took quite a bit longer for second 20k kms. No issues, still 'Lovin' it'. Local driving energized with solar, so enjoying the performance & savings vs ICE version. ~฿50+k per 20k kms, potential savings if all local driving, charged with solar. ~฿40+k if using PEA/MEA @ 5 / kWh vs ICE version of ZS Unscientific battery degradation ~3.7% over that time/kms. New ... 403 NEDC range Now ... 388 NEDC range, or so the ZS is telling me. Well within what ever the 8 yr warranty is, 70 or 80% capacity. 8 X 12 = 96 months 96 ÷ 29 = 3.31 3.7% X 3.31 = 12.25% 100% - 12.25% = 87.75% My understanding is, fastest degradation is when newer. So don't expect any surprises in the future. This will be my last vehicle, I think, and probably the wife's, as kms will be added much slower after I crap out. I'm the driving force for O&As. Our mandatory local driving is less than 10 kms a week, and that's a stretch. All could be done with the E-MB, so owning a car at all is a frivolous, convenience expense. HAPPY MOTORING 😎

Popped into Sam Roi Yot Beach, on the way back from Hua Hin. Just a day outing, as dog needed some new sniffs, and I needed a different view of the Gulf. Nice area, though I wouldn't fly around the world to see it, especially this time of year, if you want to actually 'see' it. Nice camper van, to the left, with expanding solar panel array atop, with at least 3 panels. As we heading north from PKK to HH, the southbound traffic was backed up, very far at the major intersections (3 traffic lights), so we opted for the scenic route, returning home. Rather move slower with a view, than wait at traffic lights. Surprisingly heavy, for a Thursday.

You'd think they'd give him more than a couple months before assessing his performance. The Dow or even the S&P is not an indicator of anything, unless you are invested in, which most people are not. If their pensions are, then that's long term, and probably up since they started employment, and or will be when they retire. If the company or union they belong to doesn't screw them over before hand. Comical, that most haters, aren't even Yanks, and probably close to or already retired, and anything he or the USA does, won't affect them at all. I'm a yank, and not worried about anything they do over there, as minimal effect. THB / USD exchange rate might fluctuate 10-15%, or COLA will be -0- instead of 2-3-4 or ever 5%. Oh my ... PANIC If you can't take a 0-20% hit in your finances, you've already screwed up, all by yourself.

Sh!t happens ... ... IF, you don't break the law, enter countries illegally, sh!t usually doesn't happen. Next time, when released, maybe he'll go elsewhere. As will anyone else that reads or hears about his story. One can only hope. Needs a lot more press coverage. Let the world know, criminals are not welcome in the USA.

If he followed the law, then he wouldn't have a problem. I get wanting asylum and leaving El Salvador. He escaped El Salvador, when (assuming) he entered Guatemala. Or he could have went to Honduras, or Belize, or Nicaragua. NO, instead, after escaping El Salvador, into Guatemala, he traveled about 2500 kms to the USA border, and illegally entered the USA. Could have legally asked for asylum in 2 countries along the way, and or, at the border of the USA, like all the other legally entering asylum seekers. But he chose to be a criminal ... ... oh well, live with our choices. I didn't illegally enter TH, and if I did, I would expect to be deported

A criminal got deported. I'm not seeing an problem ... "in 2011, Abrego Garcia, at the age of 16, fled El Salvador and then illegally entered the United States" ... - wiki

I actually hope it does Opinions are fine, but all the hate, stay home with that. If here, please leave

I know one couple

With that paranoia, guess they never eat at restaurants either

A favorite of ours, if on Hwy #4, only 5 mins / 4.5 kms away. If taking scenic route, from Sam Roi Yot Beach to PKK, then you pass it on the way.

Even Yoda couldn't do that ... ... and why would anyone want that Phæng māk māk

Pork tenderloin ...

After I broke a couple glass 'presses' had to go SS.

Watch the 'Lord of War' ... best movie, mockumentary out there. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399295/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_lord%20of%20war

Stop supplying the toys to kill each other. But where's the profit in that 5 permanent members of the "UN inSecurity Council" are some of the top weapon exporters. Making the world a better, safer place But they, the UN is always here to help ...

Damn Hi So folks ...
