You prefer he golf like [Trump]? President Donald Trump has spent 307 days, almost a full year, golfing during his presidency. The total is likely to be the most golf outings of any president in history.

I did 24 years in the US military and when I was in a senior position in my sections around the world, towards the end of every fiscal year we'd have excess money in our budget and were told to spend it all, even if we didn't need to. Office furniture/work equipment still good? Who cares, spend/buy newer stuff even though it wasn't needed. Still have 10's of thousands of dollars in the budget? Find something to spend it on or next year's budget would be smaller and the higher ups didn't want that. A shameful waste of taxpayer money.

Do recreational riders really need toe clips?

Trying to rely on an app to book ground travel in Thailand is opening the door for confusion, just go to the bus/train station before you want to travel and ask them when you can buy a ticket. As for taxis, find a friendly trustworthy taxi before intending to travel and arrange the date/time. Too many stories of farangs trying to book online only to find out the company didn't check their e-mail/booking system or something was lost in translation.

Obviously not, but if someone was driving & looking forward, having a red warning flag would make a huge difference as opposed to looking at a post without one, yes ????

Correct, I guess my wife just rounded up when I asked her the payout. - สลากกินแบ่งรัฐบาล ผู้ขอรับเงินรางวัล ต้องชำระค่าอากรแสตมป์ในอัตรา 1 บาท ของเงินรางวัลทุก 200 บาท หรือเศษของ Government Lottery : A prize recipient is required to pay 1 baht for every 200 baht of his/her prize money as stamp duty. Charity Lottery : A prize recipient is required to pay 1% withholding tax of the prize amount. https://www.glo.or.th/mission/reward-payment/pay-reward-process

No mention of a red warning flag/towel on the end of the hanging posts?

Anyone know how much the street vendors pay for their batch of tickets? Are they paying 80b per tickets or are they getting them at a wholesale price?

Have you tried sourdough? 555.

Half correct, if it's a small amount you can redeem your winnings at the small lottery shops, if you have a substantial win (over 10,000b?) you'll need to find a government run lottery office. In the past I've won 4,000b, gave the ticket to my wife, she went to a local lottery shop and received all 4k, no vendor "cut" given.

Doesn't keeping 2 windows open make the AC work harder? Sometimes, I'll run the ac a few hours (manual or timer) with the windows & doors closed before sleep time, then keep the windows/doors closed and run the fan all night. Other times I'll run the ac all night but the wife says it dries her out (no pun intended, 555).

So then if there's no Aro whole wheat bread in Makro per the staff, why not find another brand/store, Makro isn't the only supplier of wheat bread in all of Pattaya, right? No need to make a mountain out of a molehill. There's many groceries goods not available to us farangs, we learn to deal with it.

Then you're blocked. Move on.

I'll occasionally play the Thai lottery, anyone here know the official online site and how it works, buying tickets, can farangs buy online tickets? TIA.

I know the Makro on Pattaya's Sukhumvit has a small office/bakery staff next to the bread section, how hard is it to ask them? Maybe Aro wheat comes in later in the day.

Agree not real monks, just old men looking to get free food & a free place to stay pretending to be monks. Zero respect.

In the states we can buy lottery tickets at local 7/11s, convenience stores, supermarkets, etc. There isn't an army of people walking/sitting around just selling tickets. Time for the vendors to find a new line of work.

I know you can hire trucks, but I'm pretty sure they come with their own driver. Take a look at the utility poles in your area and look for the Thai signs like in the attached photo, they're 4-6-10 tire trucks for hire.

Make sure you use a primer;

What's your Thai bank?

Former Trump Attorney General William Barr, for instance, told the committee that his former boss had "become detached from reality" on the subject of his election loss, adding that Trump had no "interest in what the actual facts were.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/the-growing-list-of-people-donald-trump-hired-who-eventually-soured-on-him-171720536.html tRump, a true threat to American democracy.

So he allegedly kills someone 3 weeks prior and doesn't flee the country? Either they got the wrong guy or he's incredibly stupid.

Is this guy republican enough for you? “I would have laid my body across the road before I would have let the vice president overturn the 2020 election,” said J. Michael Luttig in testimony to the select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters. Luttig served as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit for 15 years, and prior to that worked as a lawyer for Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. During his time on the federal bench, Luttig mentored numerous clerks who went on to positions of prominence in conservative legal circles and in Republican politics. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-jan-6-hearing-clear-present-danger-democracy-212115229.html

ARO brand (as mentioned in the OP); tasteless low quality budget brand.

Just another man abandoning his child, are you Thai?
