Report Tragedy Strikes: UK Man Passes in Thailand, Baby Born Days Later
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You got to tell the wife & family something, or they wouldn't let you come and have fun in the sun. My coworkers used to tell their wives, they go the TH for the tailor made suits, and come back with one. Funny they needed a new suit every 3 to 6 months Yet at work, the rarely talked about the suit, when rehashing their holiday 🙄 -
Wrong. Not a scam, and perfectly legal and very common. Enlighten yourself to how things actually work, instead of spewing BS about Ministerial Order aka Ministerial Regulation in TH. ... 'Issued by a specific ministry or department, under the authority of an existing law (Act).' ... ... 'Ministerial orders are secondary legislation. They cannot contradict the law from which they derive their power or other higher-ranking laws. Their authority is limited to the specific subject matter and scope defined in the enabling law.' ... Only takes a minute with Ms Google to not sound silly on forums.

Report Tragedy Strikes: UK Man Passes in Thailand, Baby Born Days Later
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yea, I thought about adding 'except expats in TH' to that post. Or expats worldwide even. So, you warming up to the Neta ? 2 BEVs now, who would have thought What next, a DECO to round out the 'Holy Trio' You can get a new one, cheaper than your ebike (<30k), that's mind boggling in itself. -

So there really are racially mixed couples in the world. I thought they were only in commercials or on TV. -
ATM fee now 250bt
KhunLA replied to mrmicbkktxl's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
TBH, I misunderstood the reply I quoted, as thought you were implying, besides ATM being expensive (it's free for me), you would get taxed also. Although now reading this reply, I'm more confused, apparently not uncommon with me. So you do use the transfer to bank method, to show incoming funds for visa extension, or are you asking about tax burden if doing. If asking, I can't answer as different for everyone. Me, I'm tax exempt, per DTA, for retirement visa funds, transferred monthly to Thai bank. -

KhunLA replied to mrmicbkktxl's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I doubt that, as how does the ATM tell if you're a tax resident or a tourist One easy way for expats to skirt the tax, unless you need documentation of incoming funds. I bring my pension in that way, as simply easier, not attempted to hide the funds, as minimal amount with in 1 year. -
Health Rabies Deaths Triple in Thailand: Urgent Alerts Issued
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Unless you attract dogs, are scared of (they sense that and have fun with you), and run, which is worst thing you can do, but rare to get bit. I'm out a lot with the dog, and been approached more than a few times by the local pack, and they well know what the walking stick is for. A lone dog is the one I'd be worried about, if aggressive, and not in front of it's house. If one did bite me, especially ignoring my dog, then easy to assume it's infected. All the local dogs, pack or alone are familiar with us. Will bark at us, come close, maybe sniff her marking a spot, but know not to get too close. Walking alone, other cities, I've never had an issue with soi dogs, as I seem to give off a 'F'off' aura. Only once did I need to crack one over it's snout, and a local pack. Broke my damn stick in half, and I think I dislocated it's jaw, as didn't look right as it yiped away. 2 companions followed the Alpha away, quickly losing interest in myself & dog. Next time they spotted us, they didn't bother engaging Carry my teak walking stick now, and would at least knock a dog out, if no kill it. You get bit by a dog, or especially a 'soi' cat, and don't get the shots, you're an idiot. Dogs are not aggressive to the point of biting people, usually. Just don't step on their tail as they suck up the AC in front of the 7-11 door. If you do seem to attract their attention quite often, just carry a small baggie of dried dog food in your pocket. Problem solved. -
Status of Cannabis Shops in Pattaya
KhunLA replied to Knight Rider's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
Easy answer, if you're in need to restock, guess you'll find out. Do report back for others, so they don't waste their time, popping in without a med cert. As usual, with any 'order', some shops may observe, some not, and location dependent. There's a cash cow. I think if I was a doc, I'd set up an 'office' in a weed shop and sell 'certs' for 1000 baht a pop -
which one ? for other, unless extremely important, or they only accept original certified letter, post a couple copies regular snail mail, as it might take a day or 3 more to get there. Do separate the mailing by about a week, so they don't both end up in the same tray and get lost. EMS probably cheapest and works fine, though you may not get a receipt of arrival. The other acronym vendors are silly priced, and may use the same aircrafts the ThaiPost does, so reality, no special service.

If you're in a high security job, especially if with govt, that could definitely be a problem. From experience, don't believe any privacy laws that state they can't, don't or won't pass your info to another entity.

Yea, she's pretty responsible. Drives herself to the vet, on E-MB of course, wearing a helmet, and pays by scanning the QR code with her iPhone 😎 -

That's a pretty stupid F'g question. NO, I'd definitely roll the dice with a 100% fatal disease -

KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Typical, a very important public service thread, turns into a sh!t show. Mind boggling. And on the first reply I think I'll stay below those provinces. And as stated in the OP, keep your pets current with their shots. Keep them inside and leashed when outside. Mine is never out of my sight, or runs free. Actually more concerned about snakes, but a yearly heads up about rabes is a good thing, not that I worry about, but. I may be an anti vax'er, but thankfully my dog isn't. -
Agree with above, and the Wave definitely wouldn't be my choice, or anything smaller than the 350cc recommended. @chawbdurian

Not a F & C guy, but the rest looks good. Along with Beer Lao to wash anything down. Like the Ari neighborhood, and some good munchies there. Though haven't been back since the scamdemic.

What sort of personality traits do you need to marry a bargirl?
KhunLA replied to MalcolmB's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I'd say I'm gay, and still looking for a good lady to show me the light, and hopefully have clothes and pumps (US size 12 & EEE) that fit me -
No, not at all. Don't know how you read my post above as admitting I was mistaken, and quite the opposite. A little reading comprehension ... again. What is with y'all. Still haven't seen a news-blip or announcement after 4 July, when according to the Royal Gazette, it became the new rules & effective immediately. Along with being acted on, and enforced on Phuket. Sort of verifies it was not being delayed. Happy to agree with y'all if you could point something out dated 4 July or later.

What are you having for Dinner tonight?
KhunLA replied to bob smith's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Fine dining @ KFC ... Zinger & couple scoops from Swensen's -
So you are including all vehicles, when I specifically stated cars, to make the % look smaller. Only one BEV truck available in TH, so kind of irrelevant to compare truck sales. Many of those are used for long haul driving, where 'time IS money'. That is going to be a very slow transition. Although, when there are more BEV options, those for personal use, would be upgrading for sure.
