  1. Fixed what? In my post I stated "correctly" answer, which in this case means in an approved manner.
  2. A more pressing issue might be the problem of accessing public transport. Or have these ministers never gone anywhere without a personal motorcade? Have they ever tried walking down a public sidewalk? Perilous for even the most athletic.
  3. They're just teenagers getting an education. To function in society as adults, they need to know their limits and how to correctly respond to given topics.
  4. Unless you're buying a building only, in a private gated compound with the underlying land held by a Thai-owned association, you won't be getting a chanote in your name. Your daughter will need to purchase the villa in her name, and have you listed as usufructee on the back of the chanote.
  5. Baseless allegation give their western backers cover to cut aid. No aid, no food; the cattle die faster.
  6. We made two trips to the land office. First time to get a usufruct on an adjoining piece of property wife already had the chanote to. Second time for a usufruct on the main plot and house just purchased. Both have the same wording. Fee each time total of 75 baht; 55 baht for the usufruct, 20 baht for a witness. No lawyer involved. The nice folks at the land office simply typed the standard information onto the back of the chanote, filling in names and date. They took the Thai script for my name from my pink ID card. If not in possession of one, you may need a certified, translated copy of your passport. The chanote is in wife's name only. Her will leaves the property to me.
  7. You already have the hole, right? 5-6 feet wide? Find a local contractor that makes screens and windows. A custom built sliding glass door installed won't cost any more than buying a pre-made unit at Global. They'll take measurements, cut the pieces at the shop, bring them to your place in a pickup. Installation should take half a day.
  8. Wait, what? Thailand wants Asia's top (or sometimes ranked next behind Singapore) trade and investment center to use Thailand as their trade and investment center? Because soft fruit empowerment? That don't make any sense.
  9. If there's a 2-meter opening already, then it's not load bearing there. Doesn't matter, you don't need to knock down any more wall. Just get a 1-meter door and have your workers build a 1-meter pocket in the opening for it to slide into. Looks easy, plenty of YouTube videos for ideas.
  10. You say that like it's a bad thing.
  11. Depends on what you want. Balcony style glass & aluminum sliding door? Wood sliding pocket door?
  12. Slightly above your price range, around 600 baht. Well-maintained, all the stuff works, AC and mini-fridge, very clean and surprisingly quiet, small swimming pool and fitness room. About 5 minute walk to Huamak Stations (Airport Link line and BTS and railway), next to strip mall with 24-hour grocery store. Bus 145 to Chatuchak Station. https://www.agoda.com/p-park-residence-suvarnabhumi/hotel/bangkok-th.html
  13. Whose name will the villa be in upon purchase? How old is your daughter?
  14. That is highly recommended by the state department. Technically, one is permitted to relinquish citizenship and become stateless. I'm not aware of anyone that's done it recently, as in the past century. It's not permitted within the USA or territories, and would probably be disallowed overseas, as that would likely put the newly stateless person in violation of immigration law in whichever country they are currently located.
  15. We just picked up a supply of Bestatin brand Simvistatin at our local pharmacy. Blisterpack of 10 x 20mg 40 baht. Box of 10 blisterpacks 360 bath.
  16. My understanding, having this high cholesterol thing for 30 years, is that it's mostly genetic, accounting for 75% of the high numbers. Changes in diet and exercise can result in minor changes, but to get numbers down to the recommended ranges requires medication. Jogging 70 miles per week, running marathons, cycling over the Alps, trying any number of dietary changes, had little effect. 20mg/daily Simvistatin worked for me. That's been my experience, and I too, am not a doctor.
  17. Wait, now I'm confused. Are you saying it's NOT different this time? That all the wailing and teeth-gnashing will turn out to be one great vegan nothingburger? That despite all the promises to leave, few ever will? They'll wake up after (s)election day and realize nothing much has changed? I suppose you're right.
  18. This time is different. How do I know? Well, I took my own survey of like-minded individuals, and my particular favorite echo-chamber resonates decisively along the lines of my own thoughts. Prove me worng!
  19. I believe that provision was only in effect for a few years and died in 2008.
  20. That seems to be the branch manager telling you something, anything, to get you out of the office. I normally use the website, but logged onto the app just now to check. All my accounts at Bangkok Bank are visible on the app, two at different branches in Bangkok, three at one branch in Korat, and my mutual fund account. I added the three new accounts online, not using the app. Maybe give that a shot.
  21. The googles is a thing, just takes a second to check.... The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) insures credit unions, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures banks. The NCUA, much like the FDIC, is an independent federal agency. It’s charged with chartering and regulating federal credit unions in addition to insuring deposits at federal credit unions and administering the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.
  22. Would you support the Iranians assassinating MEK operatives in London?
  23. These stormtroopers were illegally invading Syria. They should be turned over to the Syrian government for prosecution. Rules-based interna.............oh, right.
