If you have an iPhone or other phone capable of Wi-Fi calling, then you just need to get a prepaid sim when you arrive in the USA and then you’ll be able to make and receive calls on your Thai sim via Wi-Fi calling on the US sim cellular network and on Wi-Fi. Method works anywhere in the world

It’s your choice to walk out in the street. I don’t think anyone is forcing you. If you choose the risk and get slammed then it’s on you. Mind over matter isn’t a monk thing, it’s an aspect of human nature survival that has been diminished by recent changes of civilization, it’s cultivated in certain sectors of military and marshal arts. Everyone has it, just cultivate

I don’t use Facebook, but if I did and read counter productive comments then I’d say the same thing to whoever. Though perhaps what you “pretty sure” you read may not b from locals, probably most likely business owners from Bangkok, other provinces or countries. Most of the locals are wizzing by on their motorcycles, and/or most likely avoiding the area completely. These are the options: Adapt and be tolerant. Complain and be frustrated. Go somewhere else and be happy. What else is there?

Sounds only like complaining. Mind over matter is adapting, not bothered nothing to say and no complaints. Countless times even more often when Sukontha was open, we keep an apartment in the area and stay there for about a week every month when we come to town. Wife would insist on Sukontha and I insist we walk. But certainly not every day. There are much nicer places to go for a walk on the outer edge of the city.

All seems normal to me. Seen worse in other countries. Adapt or since it’s enough to complain about find another gym or just move to another area

Retirement visa renewal at immigration without using an agent
novacova replied to stargazer9999's topic in Chiang Mai
Agents are a waste of time and money, unless of course one is mentally disabled, disabled fingers and hands or illiterate or just brain dead lazy. Never used one and never will. If going in prepared and organized you’ll be out in no time, probably less time than fussing with an agent. -
Fang is in Chiangmai, Fang district. Anyway, there may be an issue with the registration with the person you bought it from.

Thank you for everything Joe, it’s been an honor. Pleasant journey. -
Someone just murdered a family friend in Chiang Mai
novacova replied to connda's topic in Chiang Mai
Normally I would agree in the US, but especially being in a SE Asian country, trying to be a white knight could mean prison or even worse if things go sideways. -
Someone just murdered a family friend in Chiang Mai
novacova replied to connda's topic in Chiang Mai
Is this limited only to uneducated Thai males? Women are abused and murdered by all sorts of men all over the planet. I’d venture to say that this man is probably not uneducated and most likely a psychopath that has an undisclosed number of victims in his wake. I’d be surprised if he’s even from the area, probably came from the south where most of the criminals in the area come from. -

A bit of a narrow statement considering this happens all over the world, including the country you’re from. -
meals-on-wheels or go-shopping-for-you-services for housebound
novacova replied to orang37's topic in Chiang Mai
You can get a Grab food delivery person to do your shopping for you. Order something on the app and when he/she arrives ask if they will go shopping for you. Make a list of what and where to shop, if everything works out then get their number and let them know when you need something. -
I’ve never been able to find any clothing that fits me at any clothing store in Asia. The shoulders of the shirts are always too small and the pants/shorts are not comfortable and funky. The closet is full of clothes that the wife imposed on me that are never worn. Just stock up during trips to the US.

Really Wish I Hadn't Invited My Friend To Visit
novacova replied to Brewster67's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Over wordy individuals such as this, are desperate to save themselves and very insecure. Probably why is why they’re avoided and no one wants the interaction, because the body language is so obvious. But it appears there’s an issue with older people with this one. I suggest getting out more and being normal. -
Sensationalism at its finest and the art of conflating the facts to appear as truth. This is an ethical issue, not a legal issue. But as usual the crazy dems scream hop and holler in hysterics over minor things of the right and do nothing say nothing report nothing about their own filthy corruption.

27 Omicron XBB.1.16 cases detected in Thailand by April 17th
novacova replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Is this an attempt to conflate and propagate more hysterics? It’s been downgraded as the same level as the flu and we have here a story posted that seems to have an ulterior motive, something I’ve been noticing quite a around here lately. -
Really Wish I Hadn't Invited My Friend To Visit
novacova replied to Brewster67's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Nothing to do with being shy. I just don’t like it when men look at me like I’m an anomaly or some sort of visual stimuli, yes that is very scary and creepy. Not my thing. But for you guys that are looking for attention from other men, well then have at it, hope you find what you’re Looking For.???? -
It happens more frequently in cm because a lot of the customers are from the south. Never noticed people wasting food at the Phayao Fahsai, and certainly not much at the one in Lamphun
-
Since Sukontha is now closed for good, personally I’d go to Fahsai. But be aware, the Fahsai in cm will charge you extra if you don’t finish eating everything you brought to the table. Unlike the Fahsai locations in Phayao and lamphun, thay won’t change extra.
