  1. Google time? Oh, ok..... "Peace Officers engage in off-duty employment as independent contractors."
  2. Sure they do. Make up story time, I guess.
  3. Honestly I don't see what the big deal is. Are some here seriously trying to say that this is somehow below your highest standards and you just can't look the other way? Because, you know... you came to this 3rd world (pardon me.... developing) country strictly because you can pay for dirty cheapo sex and exploit the women. You can 100% legally hire police protection in most places in your highly developed farangland.
  4. I was stopped at Canada customs for sexy Thai VCD. They looked curiously at Nong Natt and other sexy star, but they let me have it in the end.
  5. Exactly. And if one of the insured banks would fail that would mean the baht would nosedive. The 1 million baht insurance would be meaningless. Thailand is not like USA where there are million little banks, so the deposit guaranteed by the government actually carries some weight. Thailand banking system is more like Canada. Imagine TD or Royal Bank collapsing. That 100,000 Canadian insurance would be meaningless.
  6. I always pay the penalty. It is so much easier than reporting every 90 days. Also this is the way I stick it to Elite Visa owners. 2000 baht per year for the convenience of not reporting. It is really a good deal.
  7. You can start with a movie The 40 Year Old Virgin
  8. Seriously, just go back to where you came from.... and I don't mean Huay Kwang which is a major flooding area of Bangkok. Your fault for moving there. It's like calling the cops on homeless in Skid Row.
  9. Did anyone find a way to shop from other international Lazada sites? Like is there a mail forwarding company that would ship from Malaysia to Thailand?
  10. I believe all the naysayers live in Isaan or some other buffalo friendly rural armpit of Thailand. Bangkok is absolutely full of tourists. I am trying to find a new rental for my wife to be closer to work and everything is up 30% since 2 weeks ago.
  11. This looks like a lot of research. Much less research is done by Farang when buying a condo in Thailand.
  12. Oh dear, it's been a while since someone complained about the price of Thailand's best wine - Mont Clair
  13. Please accept my sincere apology for missing our scheduled meeting in Chiang Mai. I was unavoidably detained by some urgent business at Nana Plaza as my schedule was unexpectedly hectic. I was unable to reach you mid flight and advise you of my change of plans. Hope to see you next year.
  14. If it goes to 29.54 will that upset you?
  15. Just for general information and not endorsing this at all. I never go there. But for some small amount....I think 1000b or so, you can get a Bangkok Hospital membership and get 10% off.
  16. A few years I dunno. A few years back I fell on my head at night. Was out of it. Had CT scan, maybe 10-12 stitches. Antibiotics. Total cost 15k. Ramkhamheang private hospital
  17. Rents literally went up 25% since Chinese were allowed to come in. Wife has a condo, but is renting it out to a struggling young professional couple and did not raise the rent. Our rent where we live is going up 25%. Personally I think it is a ripoff and I insisted on walking out. Then I checked the comparables in the area and there is nothing for the price we are paying even after the hike. If I see something a bit cheaper the agent either does not reply or the price went up 25%. I am gonna have to swallow my pride I guess. This is just a lesson for the stubborn. Even with a massive oversupply of condos as long as there is demand the prices will go up. Kicking myself for not buying another condo during covid.
  18. I think it's a great idea
  19. At least you didn't lose your passport. Literally the worst thing to lose in Thailand.
  20. You can not link a PayPal account opened outside Thailand to a Thai bank account. Try Payoneer.
  21. after marriage.
  22. Thai Laws are very clear about asset division. They will override any prenup that your lawyer may imagine.
