  1. Mexico baby #2. Very good story about Cabo San Lucas; https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/did-you-say-youd-leave-the-country-if-trump-were-elected-pro-tip-its-not-easy-090022948.html
  2. I went to VT5C to see a friend yesterday and noticed some ads on lobby bulletin board for short time rentals. VT5 C is still very good! Super clean and people I saw were middle/upper class types, not rowdy party animals.
  3. She can swipe funds out...
  4. No problem at all. I take 100 Russians to 1 Indian...
  5. I was going to recommend POD account but Thailand doesn't seem to have them? Maybe you check at your bank? I have all US accounts like that. "Thai Bank Accounts - P.O.D.? While at the bank this morning, I asked the manager about changing the payable on death name on my account. He said they don’t have P.O.D. in Thailand. Admittedly, it has been many years since I opened those accounts so I may not be remembering correctly. The bank manager says it all has to go through the court system in Thailand for someone to collect the funds when someone passes away. Egads."
  6. I've same problems. I speak 3 languages and understand well one more but can't speak much. I used to have 2 more so I understand how difficult it's for Thais who don't have international contacts, except in Pattaya and Bangkok, and even Universities are a big joke. Also, some have terrible translation programs! I don't use any to speed up their learning and it has helped. But I am patient and never critical. I help and brush off when it's impossible to understand. I hope to find better and faster way to help them. It IS frustrating many times but would I swap to Euro or US gals? No way. To Spanish? Maybe...
  7. Mexico baby! Close to US. Did you know this? I've used it for last 14 yrs. "Our taxes are also much less, in part thanks to the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, which states that as long as you don't spend more than 35 days in the US, you don't need to pay income tax on the first roughly $120,000 you earn while working in Mexico." Happy gays in Mexico; https://www.yahoo.com/news/husband-felt-didnt-save-enough-122102893.html
  8. Is there any Jomtien type beach cities in Cambodia? Clean and safe? I read Kep is popular for weekend but how about for 3-4 months?
  9. Move. Even if you win this one they will come after you later..... Who wants to live like that?
  10. He did same idiotic mistake last time! Car industries lost billions. Dumb Trump didn't understand Mexico and Canada build US cars and parts more than they do in the States! Let him run them down, they are quiet thanks to other favorable deals. China don't need US market, they're all over the world.
  11. They need same as all others. It's a Federal thing; Proof of Residency • Deed/Deed of Trust • Mortgage statement (no more than 60 days old) • Real Estate Property Tax bill or Tax Assessment (current year) • Valid residential rental/lease agreement • Utility bill showing the same mailing and service address (no more than 60 days old) o Acceptable utility bill - water, electric, gas, cable and landline phone bill • Change of Address Card with a valid State issued Driver’s License or Identification card issued by the same agency Log-in same too.
  12. Same in the US. Luckily I've a great friendship w my ex. I'm on her utility bills, on her car and so on. Bank required all that.
  13. Thai 2x for me- One "Silk Class" dude got hopping mad - couldn't get in. PS. Forgot: 2x in Phu Quoc too. ThaiVietJet
  14. Please, you don't want to know what goes in there....
  15. Populat English pub close to Rompho Market.
  16. Rent and make a deal; 100% of the rent will be deducted if you buy it later. There are new projects which offer this already.
  17. I don't drink alcohol. Do they have 00,00% beer? Like Heineken? Or can I get something else, like juice, for free?
  18. Exactly! Also, Dr's advice to step aside and buy a ticket will not work in many cases because they check just at the plane's door when 100 are lined up. No way leave the line. Or, if you can, they see and know what you're doing. Very risky.
  19. Much better just visit neighboring country and walk back in. No special scrutiny who you are and what you do.
  20. Maybe this is his reason to take SSRI meds to please Melania; "Ninety-six hours ordeal of priapism induced by paroxetine"
  21. Not worse than 90% American fast food garbage.
  22. I was carefully avoiding "English food" and "best" wording... 😉 But "Best Bangers" is fine. And that's what I want to eat. Trip to memory lane.
  23. I'm with you! You never know.... in Thailand! That's why I still have 5 yr old TM6 on my passport too.
  24. I'm nor sure about that... maybe now but not in '80s. The paper got soggy in minutes... Only food I eat in London was Fish & Chips and Bangers & Smash at local pub. Both were cheap and life savers for poor student on Zero budget. Very tasty too. Healthy? Didn't come in mind. That's the reason to try again! I also eat too much chocolate ice cream but who cares? Makes me feel good.
