  1. Ah, the neverending road/sidewalk construction story.
  2. According to eyewitness Mr. Keng Muangpan, 43, the sidecar motorcycle rider, was traveling in the left lane when it attempted to make a U-turn by crossing into the right lane.
  3. She needs to stay home, some kind of low IQ homeless vlogger.
  4. I transfer over 100k every month using Wise to my BBL account, no problems.
  5. I use BBL because they are easier to do international money transfers using Wise. As for the 5-7 business days, I know this extra step and plan accordingly.
  6. Stop by and ask the Triage desk at Banglamung Government Hospital, probably a few hundred baht.
  7. I guess he could do what he did in the New York trial, take the stand and plead the 5th over 400 times eh?
  8. I'm sure that bar's CCTV isn't the only camera in the area. The farang should have known better that to get in a argument with the Thais over a parking spot (was it a car or motorbike?). They say it's was a gogo bar, so I'll assume it's on Soi LK Metro, whenever I park my motorbike in front of a bar in that area, I make sure I go in their bar first, never had a problem over the years.
  9. If by speaking English do you mean as in American taxes? https://www.integrity-legal.com/other-services/expat-tax-law.html
  10. Many of these news stories use stock photos, the one shown in the OP shows zero signs of rain.
  11. Let's not pretend there are some farangs that use agents to use the "less than legal" route.
  12. Why do they have to be tailored? How about buying a pair off Lazada and then taking them to a local seamstress to get the right fit? Much cheaper for a one time use item.
  13. What's the classification of these motorized vehicles? Do they need to be insured?
  14. I knew about it and went last year with my buddies from the Darkside, it's not too far from us. This year we skipped it as there was rain on Saturday and there were other parties we had to attend. I like the night concerts best, last year they had about 50 motorcycles just driving around in a big circle with folks dressed up in various outfits, ok to watch for a few minutes but they went on for a long while.
  15. I was walking along Jomtien's beach promenade several weeks back and some farang went zipping around me on one of those things and it was playing music. He was just zipping around people left and right, an accident waiting to happen. Those things are not meant for sidewalks or to be in traffic, basically they're a skateboard on steroids, keep them on bike paths/lanes.
  16. With my luk kreung son, I speak English with him and him mom speaks Thai, he attends a Thai school where he's tops in English, but in Thai he scores average grades. We stopped his Chinese course and his Thai grades improved. Lot's of teachers offer classes after school hours to help boost the children's grades for small monthly fees. Ask around.
  17. I did my visa extension a few weeks ago and when I went to my bank they gave me an on-the-spot 3 month letter, at Jomtien IO they said I needed 12 months and gave me this sample letter to show the bank. I went back to the bank and they said that type of letter will take 5-7 business days. Cost me 100b with Bangkok Bank and it arrived 5 business days later. This was for me using the international monthly transfer. Here's the sample letter IO gave me to show the bank.
  18. "Hey I have an idea, let's kayak without any life vests in a foreign country". Darwin Award nominee.
  19. OP didn't you ask about a bad bum gun? Now a broken microwave? How much is the rent at this place where things are breaking down on a weekly basis?
  20. Have you thought of checking the big home improvement shops? Home Pro, Thaiwasadu, Global House, Do Home, Mega Home?
  21. There were 4 notebooks/laptops in the room? How many do they need to take on a holiday?
  22. So true, any bad news story in Pattaya, and the posts mentioning "family friendly" are done ad nauseam.
  23. Let's face it, there's no educational requirement to be a taxi driver. Messing with some taxi drivers is like getting between a dog & it's meal.
