  1. Getting a yellow book an OK thing to do if you already have the certified translations. I have a yellow book and in the 17 years of living in Thailand I've used it about 5 times (open a bank account x2, renew driver's license x2, get internet hooked up to my home). In Central Festival you can get translated paperwork officially stamped by the Thai government on the 4th floor, next to the passport office (2 day service). Maybe have your passport translated by any Pattaya translation office (Soi Post office has them), then go to Central Festival.
  2. My guess is when customers pay with a card, the drivers have to wait a few days to get paid, plus less chance of a tip or "keep the change".
  3. Would aluminum slats that have a wood pattern work? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/4-x-34-tdr-i4380654882-s17448612496.html?
  4. Simple fix, aim a fan at the AC to divert the stream to the left/right.
  5. Many years back when I 1st applied for my Thai driver's license, I showed them my yellow book and was told I need the letter from immigration. WTF is my yellow book for then? When I renewed my license 2 years later, my yellow book was ok, 555, what a country.
  6. "You honor, we object to the fact others are charging customers a lower price than us, make them stop."
  7. It sounds like you think your sense of balance will somehow improve walking on a movable machine, 555. By your own admission it sounds like a stationary platform is what you need. There's plenty of parks with jogging/walking paths if you know how to find them.
  8. Stay away from the Chinese made 2 stroke strimmers, always hard to start and break down fast.
  9. She could make her way to Trang airport, then fly to Don Muang/BKK, then fly DMK to UTP. then bus/van/taxi to Pattaya. IMO seems like a lot of transfers.
  10. Hey, hey, hey, that description of Thais doesn't fit the narrative of Thai bashing here on AN...555.
  11. So in your opinion the average 20 y/o is an idiot and most on here don't know the basics of math & science. Sheezz, talk about an over-inflated ego, no wonder you're a trump supporter.

    Very hot fridge.

    In addition to giving your fridge enough wall space and the occasional cleaning, don't forget about the drip tray, empty the water tray every now & again.
  13. I don't know if posting other websites is allowed here, (MODs please delete it's not allowed), try this website; https://www.bahtsold.com/
  14. I would guess one simple way to determine a fake ED visa based on language schools is for the immigration officer to see how long the applicant has been attending the language school, then speak at that level in Thai to them. If the applicant has the "deer in the headlights" look about him, it's rejected. If he can speak Thai reasonably well, he's approved. Of course that doesn't apply to a 1st time applicant.
  15. Tell the person on the back to not lean left/right.
  16. Over the years I've tried various bottle sauces (Thai, Korean, Indian, Japanese, etc,) IMO they are too bland for me, Theses days, I watch some youtube videos, give them a try, take notes and adjust for the next time; better tasting, fresher ingredients, less money. For some of my meals, my Mrs says I cook like a Thai chef....555.
  17. What was the diagnosis? Abrasions? Broken bones? Punctured lung? Intercranial bleed? 30k is either cheap or expensive depending on what the diagnosis was.
  18. One step at a time, no one is suggesting plan for 2100, but making small advances today means a better future, right?
  19. So in your mind having oil today (or the next several decades) means no need to plan for the future?
  20. So in 50 years when the world runs out of oil, should we only then start making electronic cars and charging stations? Or here's a right-wing brain buster....plan for the future?
  21. Even if what you posted was halfway true, EV, solar power is the wave of the future. Sure it's not perfect these days, but neither was the gasoline powered car, cellphone, computers, airplanes, etc. when they 1st came out.
  22. Just like there's countless stories of farangs coming to Thailand, being told they are a "handsome man", falling in love with a bar girl only to end up with a lighter bank account and a broken heart.
  23. Yet the GOP has been losing big time in the past several elections...555. If those polls are accurate, how sad is it the GOP can't win against "the worst ever for a sitting pres"? The GOP needs to step up is gerrymandering, fake electors, double voting, intimation techniques, insurrection attempts, coup attempts, etc,
  24. Good luck with that, the GOP is on a downhill slide thanks to tRump, mtg, bobert, jordan, santos, cruz, trump's many convicted felons cronies, ghoulani, that pillow guy, flynn, stone, desantis, etc. The GOP is a sinking ship.
  25. Often times the one that sold them the drugs will give the police a tip, that way the dealer is in good grace with the police if/when they get caught.
