What exactly is a Thai pink ID card?
KhunLA replied to Equatorial's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Fairly obvious, simply a Thai ID most will accept, instead of passport. I use mine when ever asked for ID. One less person paging through my PP is a good thing. Really can't remember when it wasn't accepted. Used it the other day, to do my 3rd or 4th month withdrawal from BBL. She didn't even bother making a copy of it. The usual if presenting a PP. Simply ask for one at the Amphur office, if having a yellow book. Not sure if Cert. of Res. will work, as never asked. -
The Only Rule in Thailand Is: Sod Everyone Else Innit
KhunLA replied to Lewie London's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Same here, especially if they see me 'hobble on' 🙄 I always decline. Wife is surprised, sort of, though not so much any more, when I offer my seat to any elderly woman, lass that looks like she could use it, or a wee one. Just say, if my mother was here, and I didn't offer my seat, she'd smack me in the side of my head. Just the way I was raised. -
Trump booed at Alabama rally after telling supporters to get vaccinated
KhunLA replied to gargamon's topic in Covid/Vaccine
Guessing the OP was hoping, as I don't think most read links in OPs, and just going for the eye catching headliner. Doesn't say much for his opinion of his fellow lefties' intelligence, he was hoping to join in, for yet another Trump bashing. Endless desperation, and clear indication of derangement, and not having a life. Imagine nothing better to do with morning coffee than searching out old headlines & posting ... -
Transport SRT Sets Stage for KiHa Train Testing by End of June
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes, taken the train a few times (4 ?), BKK-HH-PKK, even as far as Bang Saphans, and why I don't use them any more. 4-5 hrs is more than enough for me on any public trans. If convenient and all one can afford, then guess it works for some. Interesting experience, but glad not a necessity for us. -
The truth would be, the USA, like most countries, are basically bankrupt, but nobody is allowed to say that out loud. Reality of, if debt ceiling raising and all the countries defaulting on their debt, would send central banking, and world economies into a tailspin. Actually, I think it would be a good thing. Every countries financial slate / budget, to start from scratch, no debt, and now only spend what they have. What a concept, living within one's means. Imagine having balanced budgets & no debt. Might even end wars, as nobody could afford bullets & war toys.

Better than what the have probably, but seriously need to upgrade there rolling stock of engines & carriages. Good for the RR nostalgia nerds -

KhunLA replied to gargamon's topic in Covid/Vaccine
Seriously, this is the best you can do. 'Delta variant' ... a opinion piece, almost 4 years old This, before everyone knew the vaccine was not tested, and based on lies ... IMHO Only info available, allowed (at the time) from the corrupt ... IMHO ... CDC, FDA, WHO & of course Fauci 🙄 -

Yes, BBQ should be no more than slow cooked meat (hopefully smoked), with a nicely seasoned rub. Any sauce, usually way too sweet, should be served on the side vs smothering the meat in it, to the point, you can't even taste the meat. If all I wanted was the taste of BBQ sauce, I could save a lot of money, and just dip an order of fries in sauce

Only quoted your post, as that was the only post I read, being the last reply. (price comparison & Roza comment) I don't waste my time ready whole threads any more. Come in on 'new content', and I see the title, and last reply. Usually ignore the rest and reply to the title or only reply I read, usually the last. It avoids a lot of drivel, sometimes a few pages of it, along with repetitive handbags at 10 paces Only add the links, to avoid some idiot asking me, and me having to reply, when they follow up with ... 'do you have a link for that'. Since most that ask, are too stupid to google themselves.

When I used to buy canned beans, I'd rinse the sauce off, as just wanted the cooked beans. Wife makes her own tomato sauce. Actually tastes like tomatoes. Now we start from scratch with dried beans if wanting 'baked' beans.

Since the ingredients are not the same (USA vs EU) along with any tariffs (?), one can't expect the price, taste or quality, to be the same. Whole food, home cooking is always best IMHO More than a few links & info here, if curious about my statement ... https://www.google.com/search?q=are+the+ingredients+of+heinz+baked+beans+the+same+in+usa+as+eu&rlz=1C1GCEU_enTH1161TH1161&oq=are+the+ingredients+of+heinz+baked+beans+the+same+in+usa+as+eu&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRiPAjIHCAIQIRiPAtIBCjIzMTAxajBqMTWoAgiwAgHxBcX2rC3x14mm&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Tomato sauce is usually a better choice than ketchup, if making your own... "Ketchup has more vitamin B2; however, tomato sauce has more iron and vitamin B5. Ketchup's daily need coverage for sodium is 39% more. Ketchup has 6 times more sugar than tomato sauce. Ketchup has 21.27g of sugar, while tomato sauce has 3.56g. Tomato sauce is lower in sodium." source: https://foodstruct.com/nutrition-comparison/ketchup-vs-tomato-sauce#:~:text=Ketchup has more vitamin B2,tomato sauce has 3.56g.

Does anyone actually think that credit rating means anything ? Any country that can barely pay the interest on it's debt, gets any rating is mind boggling. Any person or household with a debt to income ratio of most countries would be turned down for a loan or CC.

Report MRT Music Mayhem: Foreign Influencer Blasted by Fed-Up Commuters
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
You obviously don't use BTS/MRT too much if at all. Are you even in TH ? Pretty sure, everyone on the rail lines would rather be some place else, except me when playing tourist and getting a cheap sightseeing tour of different neighborhoods. Besides, most are staring at their phones anyway -
The embassy website gives all the details one needs. As far as delivery time, I got mine in less than 2 weeks. 11 days rings a bell, but definitely in about 2 weeks. That was 2 years ago, but they also had the same advisory, 'may take 5 to 6 weeks', which from prior years, knew was way off, and think time prior to last, only took a week, amazingly. Found my old post, and took < 2 weeks from mailed in to received, and advisory at the time ...

Or the UK, as Ms Google points out ... ... "Stabbing and other violent crimes, including those involving knives, are indeed a problem on UK public transport, and there are several contributing factors. While statistics on knife crime on public transport specifically are not always readily available, the rise in overall knife crime in areas with high public transport usage has led to concerns about safety on trains, buses, and other forms of transit" ... Along with the rest of Europe ... ... "Alarming Spike in Crime on Trains and Stations Across Europe" "Figures obtained by German media organisation NiUS make specifically note that about half of the 13,543 violent crimes at stations in the first half of this year—that’s almost 27% more than in the same period just two years ago—were committed by foreign nationals. Non-German suspects were particularly overrepresented in sexual crimes at train stations, 59% of which were committed by individuals without German passports. London officials, on the other hand, appear keen to suggest the statistical rise in Britain is largely superficial. British Transport Police have attributed the more than 50% increase in violent attacks against women and girls on the nation’s railways to a greater reporting of offences, according to The Times." https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/alarming-spike-in-crime-on-trains-and-stations-across-europe/

Do you guys feel good about this ,the reporter says to ICE agents as…
KhunLA replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
Enlighten yourself to where the illegal immigrants go, and immigrants doing the picking, isn't exactly cheap. Two tidbits paraphrased from linked article below ... ... “Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture. The top destination for illegal aliens is large cities like New York, Los Angeles and small industrial towns, of course, all across the heartland. None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work,” Miller says." ... ... “H-2A is very expensive to use. The minimum wage for H-2A is like $3 or $4 higher than our state. Minimum wage and our state minimum wage are $16. And the H-2A minimum wage is over 19. Think about that. The guest workers have to be paid more,” he adds With required housing and food, Del Bosque says it’s becoming too expensive to even utilize H-2A in the U.S. today." ... source: https://www.agweb.com/news/policy/politics/true-cost-what-farmers-argue-broken-immigration-system-u-s?fbclid=IwY2xjawKTtDFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFFM1lWaTh6Q3NHNUpBRzVXAR7x164B39fPwMkYybBAq_jxOt8Qppi7CvES6fD-8b3N8GTAWGWm1iqo8w_OXw_aem_gImZcePO3BahHHR0Ckqalw -
even better ... THANKS

THANKS ... so do my 'shopping' on laptop, then place order on phone 👍 Just have to save the item link, paste on phone, open via app, then place order. I find the phone listings void of important information. Besides using such a small device is simply annoying. THANKS

Assuming on your phone, simply disable the app, till you open to use. Which I never do anyway, as do all shopping from laptop. Only needed on phone to authorize wallet use or something. I think the only notifications I get, maybe 1 a day, is from DTAC. Strange as usually an add-on GB offer, which the system fails to notice, I don't need, as my promo is 10gb a month & 100 free calling minutes, and I rarely use my phone, unless O&A, and rare I'm ever below 5gb & 90mins free call still on the phone. I don't even read 'em, and just slide to trash.

Thank you judge, for letting a violent 'illegal immigrant', nutter back out on the streets ... 🤬 ... "Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, the 30-year-old Mexican national and undocumented immigrant, reportedly hit a person 30 times after being asked to turn down loud music. Then, he was brought to court to appear in a trial in Milwaukee County Circuit before the courtroom of Judge Hannah Dugan on April 18 for a pre-trial conference." ... https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/who-is-eduardo-flores-ruiz-mexican-immigrant-judge-hannah-dugan-is-accused-of-helping-101745605011312.html
