Tuesdays for us ???? ???? Swensen's ... 2 for 1 Scoops Tuesday (members) Sunrise Taco ... Ojo ... Taco Tuesday For some of you other folks, well, it's Happy Hour somewheres.

Yep, passed my expiration date last year, of 67.7 yrs. So now on borrowed time, thankfully all good. Simply enjoy living & dying ... it's nature. Thinking about it, just puts you in the latter earlier and a waste of time.

Not seeing that cheese thing selling very good, anywhere. Especially after the sale. Quite the bargain if buying and telling them you want it 'cold'. That's a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches at the house for 109 baht ???? I use 3 slices in mine, though much better American 'cheese'.

Makes sense, at his age, why be a lame duck MP for 2 more years.

No vendor forces anyone to buy anything. Offering triple bacon cheese burgers is no different. Or everything deep fried in palm oil. So bars have no respect for their customers, selling their poisonous alcohol that many can't seem to control. Or 7-11 w/cig sales. Car manufacturers selling death machines that do more than 90 kph, aside from their pollution .... blaming vendors & manufacturers is all a bit silly, don't you think. Personal health is your responsibility.

ZS is straight up 'performing' family car, though fun to drive, I wouldn't try any drifting in it ????

None, just replying to your ... no need to live in house comment. If assuming a 'safety' issue was implied. I can see where that could be a problem for some, in wife's village. With extra paperwork (POA), some things can be avoided, if needed. If usufruct doesn't provide the protect you need, in that scenario, then POA is your escape clause to a bad situation. Without loss of investment, many couldn't afford to lose. Just a little extra info, for those skeptical of buying in. You can protect yourself against most situations. Life's choices .... again.

Spot on. Nature has always been an attraction for me. Younger, playing in, now, looking at and simply appreciating. Younger and not so, concerts, plays, thrill seeking & theme parks. I bounced a lot better then. Not so long ago, a bit safer thrills, travel & museums. Now just taking it all in works. TH is fine for that, stress free & no worries. I could be white water rafting, or laying in a stream with a beer ... both work for me.

Agree with others, been here 20+, three different type long stay (1 yr) visas/extensions, and all very easy. Never needed any assist/agent, though see their convenience at some 'busy' provinces. Meet the financials and it's quite easy.

Don't think anyone has to be a nutritionist or a doc, to realize eating 20 slices on a cheese sandwich, isn't being a healthy alternative to most anything. Saying that, and if accurate, BK's cheese may be the real thing, and apparently not the most unhealthy version ... aside from 20 slices of it. BK Cheese ingredients

For those interested in MG BEV line-up, aside from styling, there really isn't much of a difference. Not sure about the electronics, little options, but drivetrain, fairly the same. ES is simply and updated EP. ZS is their SUV (short), and MG4 looking a bit sportier.

I lived there by choice, as liked the house, since built for me, per my specifications. New GF/future wife moved in, nobody cared, as most folks liked me. Never an issue, even when I sold it, with a POA that I had. Ex wasn't there or even needed at the sale.

If you live in your wife's family village, maybe. 1st house was there, and nobody bothered me after I threw her out. 2nd & 3rd house was / is nowhere near the wife's family, and she likes it that way. Live with your choices.

As stated, like all TH gov't offices, they don't seem to work off the same play book. Heard of some Amphur Land offices not doing, or wanting 'paperwork+'. My experiences with 9 lots of land, all having a usufruct in my name on them, is completely different, very easy, and inexpensive. Simply ask to have it added, owner & you, whether at transfer (if new purchase), or as add-on after the sale. Too simple and <100 baht I think. No lawyer needed. Takes all of 5-10mins, for clerk to add your name/info to the 'fill in the blanks' form on his/her/its computer, print out, and you sign. It's stays with the chanote, till you null & void it out. Get if for life, or 30 yrs or highest # yrs they'll allow. Get to 'use & modify'. Nobody can do anything to the land/property/structures, without your permission. On our build at PKK, wife put papers in for add-on, wash & storage room, that wasn't on original blueprint submitted. Wasn't approved till I signed off on it ???? it's a powerful document. This done at A. Muang L.O. @ Udon Thani (7 lots) & A. Muang L.O. Prachuap Khiri Khan (2 lots). When that is done, go to Amphur office, and get a yellow book. You should never need a Cert of Residence in the future, hopefully.

Love a grilled cheese, but that's gross.

I personally wouldn't buy a Mazuma product. And why 8000w, as overkill. Had 8k at the one house, and could easily brew tea/coffee with it. Bought it as it supplied whole house (3 facets), with 2 not exactly close to the unit. And still put out hot water, even on cool NE mornings. This brand, Stiebel Eltron, I think, and excellent unit. I believe still going strong, 12 yrs on.

Because I/we enjoy cooking, and do a much better job than any restaurant, usually. The savings, just a plus. More than enough time, and really helps to get me out of house, and doing something. I like knowing what I'm eating, and use the best of any ingredient. No palm oil in this house. Meats, fruits & veggies very fresh. Everything seasoned just right ???? Not too sweet, salty or spicy. Not a whole lot quality restaurants where we are, though can't say there are anywhere. We only go out to eat, for something we can't and won't bother doing at home, usually. A big reason why we enjoy coffee shops, as pastries are a time consuming effort.

Fever, with fatigue being the second most common symptom. Coughing, muscle pains, nausea, headaches and vomiting were also reported as symptoms of infection Sarcasm alert: It may now be considered one of the most dangerous viruses out there, to mankind's existence. To date (2018 - August 2022) ... wait for it ... ... 35 people have been infected in China ... NO DEATHS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langya_henipavirus I hate when people type faster than myself

Maybe he can room with Reade & Snowden in RU ????

@BKK24 Fidelity will allow you to change, and I don't think I needed anything to do that, and simply verified ID via SMS or email, forget. That was 1 time from TH. I did change it back though, as stating CC/Debit T&C changes, though I didn't notice any. I'm paperless, so don't need a USA address but I do use my brother's address & ph#. Matter fact, he just moved recently, and since using his ph#, asked him to do the address change, since SMS would be sent to him anyway. The less they know, the better AFAIC. Tax wise, irrelevant since I don't pay any. Soc Sec has my TH address & ph#, & DD to BBL My pension will only use a USA bank, hence why I still have the Fid accounts. Fid, if you don't know, need a 'Cash Management' Acct/CC/Debit card for Thai bank fee reimbursement for TH ATM use, for -0- fee ATM transactions. Also if on Soc Sec, and you change to a TH address, you'll need to file a 7162/pulse check every year. If USA address, not needed.

Thankfully, because the Japanese manufacturers really take the piss with pricing here. Made in TH entry level are ฿550k-800+k, that's nuts. Imports even sillier, ฿1M & up. And it's not all added taxes.
