  1. Probably the fingerprint biometric scan didn't match the ID.
  2. When THD the Thai Etf came up on my screen for being up 14% in one month I knew there is concern. Wise did say they are lowering their fees to Thailand. Not that it will help much.
  3. 130 lbs 2 suitcases no wonder it was found. Seen some of the YouTube videos they usually tell the people either very little or that it's okay, they paid off the people at the airport.
  4. Ask for Lipostat or Xarator which are Atorvastatin also. 30 tablets I think is around 350 baht depending on if 10mg, 20 mg, etc.
  5. You forgot showing respect and living in Harmony are highly regarded. Also try Not to raise your voice and get angry, stay calm and work through the issue, you will get a lot farther with a Thai
  6. Stop by 7-11 and pick up a refrigerated container of brown rice for 15 or 20 baht. They will microwave it for you if you want. Like you have discoved the majority of locals eat white jasmine rice.
  7. So as others have said harsher penalties and lack of enforcement are pretty useless. Better to do the basic education like if you consume X alcoholic drinks in X amount of time you need to stop drinking X time before getting behind the wheel.
  8. Wait didn't they say about 3 weeks ago the water reservoir did not have much water. Does Pattaya receive enough rain to support sustainable farming?
  9. This could be any place that is crowded (Mall, Airplane, BTS/Metro, Bus, any office) It is just how these spread. Wearing a properly fitting, high quality mask in these environments helps. I always put a couple in the car/motorbike, jacket so I do not need to worry about forgetting a mask.
  10. My limited understanding is the Thai Soldier can attempt to take legal action. The foreigner committed zero crimes. He did not even meet this lady. The foreigner would have had to convince the married lady to cheat on her husband and then for her to separate from her husband before any potential crime would have been committed. I believe the foreigner would need to have some knowledge of the lady being married. Tip, you can take your lady to the Amphur and check if they are still married, it is done before they are remarried. The foreigner would only be responsible for some amount of money she would have earned for a certain amount of time. So if lady earned 20,000 a month and judge says you owe for 3 years. The guy may have to pay 20,000 X 36 = 720,000. It costs almost nothing to check at the Amphur and if she is resistant to going to check you probably know why.
  11. Very Sad Story: In US I experienced the major decline of how health care is administered, premiums, yearly deductibles, and co-pays being excessive and causing a financial hardship and burden. Some General Practitioner appointments are booked 1 month or more in advance. Doctor's office tells you if you need immediate medical care go to the Really Expensive Emergency Department at the Hospital. Insurance has influenced Doctor's to game the system by having follow up appointments that take literally 1 or 2 minutes but Doctor receives same office visit payment as a longer consultation. Lack of ability to build a history with 1 Doctor due to appointment availability time. Lack of knowledge and understanding of your medical or family medical history. Additionally Doctor's and Hospitals in US make money off prescription drugs not healthy diets, exercise, or alternative treatment. Most Doctor's will downplay or dismiss the benefits.
  12. 7:30 pm on Monday Night Prime Time to deter crime?
  13. How well is the One Way working on Jomtien Soi 5 the road with the Immigration Office? Marked 1 way but cars, motorbikes still travel both ways. What is going to happen when Soi Buakhao is 1 way with people who have been drinking? Yes 2 way traffic and you will still have to be on high alert walking down the side of the road.
  14. Another Day Another arrest by the fine Law Enforcement here in Thailand. I feel safer everyday reading another story about someone who has Not received the message that Thailand is Closed for Crime, especially by foreigners. Always a good read when someone thinks they are smarter or better than a country with enough resources to eliminate about any size organization
  15. I would agree. Some Military, Police, Drug Dog trainees Fail to meet the requirements after months of training. The question still is Why did they choose a breed they have limited knowledge or experience with that has a High Risk for attacks, sometimes fatal on humans. There are other dog breed available at equal prices that will provide a similar result and have similar benefits
  16. American Bull Terrier falls under the SPCA umbrella term of Pit Bull. Not my words, talk to SPCA were I quoted the info.
  17. There is NO One Size Fits all Diet for any of us. We will All have somethings that will work and are sustainable and some that will Not. Agree with satisfying your cravings sometimes and finding a sustainable diet. What you Eat is Proven many, many studies to be important for long term health and diets. Not saying do not ever eat burger, pizza, cheese, or bacon. Find your balance, it will show in a CBC with cholesterol Test Result. Costs 260 baht for the test at clinic near me. Some things we eat taste very good but can only be eaten in moderation, Cake, Cookies, Ice Cream, Chocolate, Brownies, etc. Recent experience with High Cholesterol that gives you No, Zero Warning before you have Serious problems. Take care of yourself but enjoy those cravings sometimes.
  18. Found this on Internet I'm no expert so have to defer to the SPCA https://ycspca.org/news-events/blog.html/article/2024/01/24/breaking-down-pit-bull-type-dogs#:~:text=A common mistake we hear,and American Pit Bull Terrier. "A common mistake we hear people make is referring to a specific dog’s breed as “Pit Bull.” What many do not realize is that “Pit Bull” is an umbrella term which refers to three registered breeds of dogs: Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and American Pit Bull Terrier."
  19. Sorry Brother, maybe let the dogs attack you in a locked room. 1st, research dog breeds to see if it's a good breed for your family and condo, or house. 2nd, go visit someone selling the dog and spend time with it. Also spend time with another breed you like. 3rd, Save and make sure you understand the cost of ownership (vet bills, training?, proper food (not just Rice), your time to spend playing with and caring for the dog (bathing) About Pitbulls, in South Florida some owners want the Image of being Tough, and projecting fear, or intimidating others. Miami has banned Pitbulls from the City. The Breed has been Proven to be a breed that Requires a knowledgeable, experienced, capable and Reasonable person who will ask first Is there another Breed that will fulfill my needs that is less Risky? Why did the Brother buy 3 three Pitbulls, why not 3 Siberian Huskies, 3 baby Soi Dogs, 3 of Any other Breed that is a lower risk of permanent, possibly fatal injury to people.?
  20. I talked to AAinsure after submitting my first claim recently. They said after 1st claim insurance with PC they will ask at hospital you submit bill from, any hospital you fill in that you have visited recently. If you say none insurance will check with 2 random, additional surrounding hospital and inquire if you have Any medical history with those hospitals. Additionally insurance with cherry pick information and manipulate it to attempt Not to pay. Consult with the doctor before answering follow up questions from insurance. My insurance asked questions about some info that has never been tested or verified. Hospital had somehow written info from another patient on my record.
  21. Communicating effectively with someone from the East (Thai) can be challenging at times. We use different words, different word order sometimes. Additionally Thai Style, they build, and do jobs, logic, think differently sometimes. Having a partner who is Thai helps a lot. Sometimes Thai people either do Not know and want to "Save Face" or they will only tell you part of the answer or solution leaving you to figure out the rest. Do Not Get Angry, Saving Face, respect and living in Harmony are highly valued in Thailand
  22. What is the name or product of this Vendor who gave excellent advice to the gun man. I want to thank and buy something from them. Vendor's words may have de-escalated the situation from becoming severe.
  23. Like other have mentioned The requirements for renting motorbikes over X or 160cc Should be different. At least a Valid Motorbike License, some demonstration of ability to drive a lower CC Scooter/Motorbike. Also minimum insurance requirements for injury, property damage.
  24. This is my impression/opinion of what I have read from credible sources. USA Tourist Visa in Thailand application they Require Strong evidence that you have Strong Ties to Thailand and will most likely return. Most of your Close family living in Thailand, A Job or Business, a verified Bank account statement like we get for immigration might help, A travel history of recent (past couple years) Passport Stamps showing Entry/Exit in short duration and returning to Thailand. Maybe a Spouse or Boyfriend who is and has a history of being a Resident of Thailand. Lastly the ability to Answer Interview Questions in Person convincingly, without delay, and with detailed information if requested.
  25. Concerned? If there is ANY concern people would pressure officials to test if water is Safe to Swim. Unknown is, "How many people have to seek medical attention after swimming at Pattaya, Jomtien Beach?" 10 or 20 Baht for use of a shower, try Not to drink or get much in your mouth. Many Years and I almost Never read about someone sick from swimming at Pattaya, Jomtien beaches.
