How to retire in Thailand

Medicare is US specific. There are lot's of other countries without that system in place. -
How to retire in Thailand
msbkk replied to CharlieH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I personally doubt that the average retiree has around 1,781 USD income per month. The real figure is much lower than that. And you have to take health insurance or other medical expenses or self insurance into account. -
Citibank Transfer of Accounts to UOB
msbkk replied to Etaoin Shrdlu's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
My previous Citibank account showed up in the UOB app today. I had accounts at both banks. Transfer was done automatically today in my case. The UOB app is named UOB TMRW Thailand. -
On top of Phu Taboeg mountain in Petchabun should be cooler. It is the highest point in that region. I went up there many times and always found it to be pleasant.

Taking agility to a whole other level !

Malinois are great dogs used in military and police. However absolutely not recommended for private households. They are extremely energetic, fearless and not easy to handle. -
A 62-year-old man from Germany has, against medical advice, been vaccinated 217 times against Covid, doctors report. The bizarre case is documented in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal. The shots were bought and given privately within the space of 29 months. The man appears to have suffered no ill effects, researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg say.

New airport planned for Kalasin to boost tourism and exports
msbkk replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
The interesting thing is that while those airports do exist some of them do not have flights, at least not for passengers. -
Bands like bodylastics are great. Be careful however about the cheap copies at Lazada. They do not last long and can hurt you when breaking. The sets at Lazada often cost the same as a single good band from a reputable company. Good and expensive bands can last years. Just to mention.

TikTok posters - Shockingly bad information about Thailand
msbkk replied to Sluglord's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The app itself does not suck but as everybody can post videos there this results in a lot of rubbish. And I agree about the comments about the mentioned new experts showing off. But the app is great and useful once you figure out how to correctly use it and let the algorithm show you what you really like. There is something for everyone to find, for example cooking recipes, athletes and actors, science, history, entertainment, basically everything. You should register once and mark your fields of interest. Once you start to give likes and follows the algorithm will bring you lot of similar videos and you will be mostly shown only items you like. And important, if a video sucks, do not watch it through, otherwise the algorithm noted your interest. I even started to date a pretty girl who found my attention (no, I will not give you the link to her videos 😄). -
This is not correct. The 50 Baht AIS card can connect to the Internet if mobile data is enabled. And to do it cheaper you have to buy a data package from AIS for the existing card.

If you have a smartphone you do not need a new Sim card. All Sim cards can be used to access the Internet. What kind of Sim card are you using?

You seem to live in another Bangkok than me. 😁 -
Online 90-day Rejected
msbkk replied to Thailaces's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can file it online again without problem. But try to find out if something was missing. It happened to me before and there was a very minor error on my side. -
These better options do not exist on domestic routes to most destinations except maybe major tourist areas. But yes, you get what you pay for, I do not really have any other complaints.

I had a similar problem last year. When booking a flight the app was frozen during payment. The flight was not to be found in my bookings, so I repeated the same process again. The result was that there were 2 booked seats with my name on the same flights. It was not possible to contact Air Asia except via useless chat bot. On my flight date I went to Don Mueang to the Air Asia office. The charming staff members were very helpful and cancelled the double booked flight and explained that I will be refunded within 2 weeks or so. The refund was just a small part of what I paid, my guess is that I was charged an administrative fee for the cancellation. Otherwise I use the airline often and do not have any complaints. To contact a human being is however quite impossible except you drive all the way to an airport.

Absolutely agree with that. I use it often without any problems. -
Why Learn Passa Thai? Your Justifications for Doing So?
msbkk replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Thai Language
Ok, I will rephrase. You seem to fit very well in a foreign country of your choice where most of the population does not speak proper English and you seem to not be willing to learn their language. -

Why Learn Passa Thai? Your Justifications for Doing So?

But only if you sit beside her 24 hours nonstop. It is much easier to use your ears for that. -

Do you really want to sit with Google Translate beside her to check every single word?
