Just keep asking the same question, till someone agrees with you. You'll be fine, and incognito is if you never traveled.

There's inexpensive/don't expect much, then the thrift/value for money, hit & miss mostly, then excellent/pricey, worth it for the discerning diner, or even not....then there is silly/marketed & overly priced. ฿1000 / kg for ground beef, falls into silly land. Doesn't even state what cut of beef it's from. At least be maybe some kind of short rib, rib eye or sirloin combo.

Tasty stuff

Same with ZS.

.... or not

At this rate, who ever buys our house, is in big trouble .... . . . . ... 7000 years from now ????

As I stated, it takes some getting use to. I keep my toe near the accelerator and if see something that will be entering the 'sensor zone' just give the pedal a push a + 1 or 2 kph. Comes in handle when a few in the right hand lane, may block me from passing a slower vehicle a ways in front of me, before the 'safe space' kicks in. With the instant torque, so easy to blend in between them when needed. All makes for a much smother ride.

Literally impossible to sign up / register on the SS online site from overseas ... I've tried numerous times.

Tomato sauce vs ketchup: "According to Heinz, the key difference between ketchup and tomato sauce lies in the quantity of tomatoes used. Ketchup supposedly contains more tomato, in some instances it also contains tomato paste, so it is thicker and richer than its tomato sauce counterpart" If I need tomato sauce, depending on recipe, I just drain from my canned tomatoes. Need more, never so far, just puree the whole can. I only buy this brand, excellent & ingredients; Tomatoes 65% Tomato Juice 34.9% Additives 0.1%

Not a Thai, could care less ... ... as long as they keep the discounted VAT @ 7% ... leave RE Taxes to almost non existent ,,, don't change Imm rules, or better, enforce them more ... no FTA with USA or EU/UK works also ... and keep them friendly trade agreement w/CH Then I'm happy as can be ... LOVING IT

I was chit chatting with an IRS rep, and brought the issue up, and she said the Wilkes Barre facility is aware of the problem, and trying to resolve it. Actually gave me a few ph# to call if not resolved. I didn't bother retaining them, as calling IRS or SS from TH has always ended the same way, put on hold for 20 mins, then disconx. ????

LKA is useless here, as road painting is so inconsistent. I disabled it. Cruise control, that took some getting use to, and I love it now. Loving the one foot driving also, w/max KERS setting (#3). ZS has advised me of an update, the past few weeks, and I've put it off. Let them work the kinks out before I install. If the LKA needs to be reset with every start, if updated, I'll give that update a pass. Need to research and see what exactly the update includes. ZS in cruise control with LKA on is almost self driving, but doubt if I'd ever trust a car to do that. Any car, anywhere. One annoyance of the ZS ICE, as the radio came on almost every start and had to turn off, or volume down. Finally fixed w/update. Not a fan of electronic options, as stated, they seem to get most of the complaints, with every manufacturer, For us, less is better, since we don't use what's available now.

For those prices, it better be ... ฿1000 / kg for ground beef ???? + del charge unless spending 3k

& Cuba ????

Scratch that idea ... have to be on Med. A&B (drug plan) to qualify for 'Advantage', so ~$200 a month for coverage, and they may require up to $8300 in copayment annually if and when using. https://www.ncoa.org/article/what-are-the-costs-of-medicare-advantage-part-c Unless something major, I can't get that sick here at a govt hospital. If major med oops, as I found out, I'm 1.5 hrs away from a trauma center, so I'm toast anyway, or veggie if salvageable .... ???? No thanks .... DNR I'll keep paying less than 2 months premium, for my full med check ups here, to catch anything early & treatable vs 12 premiums, with the usual, "may or may not cover" all your expenses insurance company. @Jingthing Thanks for the info anyway ????

But does Medicare care, as that would be the only advantage to changing back to US address. IF, Medicare Advantage isn't silly price vs my next med oops ???? And if Medicare Advantage is deducted from my SS DD, that will affect my monthly retirement qualification for visa.

Technically, if they wanted to, could check you PP, and see if you reside in TH contiguously for 180+ days. I think that is the benchmark for resident, though stand to be corrected. I'm curious if the DD to TH bank would nullify US residence with Medicare.

Really, thanks for that. May have to change it back. Wonder if they/Medicare, cares if US address with TH bank deposit of SS benefit.

Locally at our Makro, been hit & miss, to the point, I don't bother any more. When at Hua Hin, Gourmet Markets, if they have 2 for 1 ribeyes that looks good, I'll pick some up, and actually have 'You Hunt, We Cook' prepare for me, and makes a nice lunch/dinner while there. Only place I've bought beef steak in quite some time. And not cheap if not 2/1.

To the title 'positive' ... ... they didn't poll anyone I know .. ????

Apparently not so many, which actually doesn't surprise me. No fear of consequence on an anonymous poll.

Yank's Soc Sec isn't frozen if living overseas, so address is irrelevant for us.

= Workshop on Web Site ? If that's the case, do you actually need to be at Krung Thep metro area at all, as the air pollution half the year is horrendous, along with sporadic flooding during rainy season, if self driving. I was up at Future Park last rainy season and had to kill an hour or so, before leaving the area, waiting for the flooding to subside, as not wanting to drive my car in it. It was floor board high and unavoidable. Hard to believe people were driving in it.

NOAA date shows Global Warming has slowed since 2015 also.
