What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
jaywalker2 replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
I thought it was wildly overpraised but still okay. It started off strong but then turned into a ridiculous zombie movie. -

Good choice, I watched the whole thing and regretted it. Just a millenial mess. -

Both criticisms are valid but compared to the rest of the junk available, it's at least watchable. -
800K Into bank account
jaywalker2 replied to flyinghigh's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I don't see any advantage in doing that, especially since there have been rumors of people having trouble getting retirement visas in country lately. Integrity Legal had a video on this. -

You can however put the 800,000 in now and use it for the 2027 extension. For next year you will have to use an agent again but that 800,000 will still be helpful as you will not need to use agent funds. -
US Passport Renewal Update Information
jaywalker2 replied to tkramer's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
I don't see why not. It the system functions as it's supposed to, it should be a lot easier and more efficient than the mail in process. -
US Passport Renewal Update Information
jaywalker2 replied to tkramer's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
The US has launched an online passport renewal system. It's currently in beta, so access is limited. Of course you have you have to be in the US but everything can be done online including uploading a photo from your smartphone. Payment can also be done by ach -
I thought it would get easier here at older age
jaywalker2 replied to Chinagmaiguy's topic in General Topics
Being overcharged for medical services isn't peculiar to foreigners. Thais get ripped off too. I knew a woman whose dog bit her at home, just nipped her really but enough to draw blood. At the hospital, they insisted she have the full treatment: full series of rabies shots, antibiotics, bandaging, etc. And the elderly in Thailand are the favorite target of scammers just as they are everywhere. I think your problem may be more with modern society rather than anything personal. -

What things bore and annoy you most?

You're deliberately opening yourself up to the reply, "Posts like this," aren't you? -
i had tetanus when I was a child. I stepped on a nail sticking out of a board on the school grounnds. I didn't tell anybody and by the afternoon I had a fever and was so pale the teacher sent me to the nurse's office. My mother took me to the hospital and the red line of death was already midway up my thigh at that point. Then my mother told me that her uncle died from tetanus. Cut his hand on a rusty can top and died while waiting to see a doctor in the emergency room of the hospital.

Yes, because you prefer fruitcakes to scientists -

This is Cuckoo Land. And the Earth is flat, no one landed on the moon, the planet is ruled by lizards from outer space, and cancer is caused by parasites that can be killed by collodial silver. -

Unbelievable. You won't believe anything that contradicts your biases. This is called the mass delusion of crowds. Congratulations, you're a participant. -

https://t.co/Aw0S36nD2a Here's a link summarising the results of studies on the effect of vaccination in pregnancy. I post it to show you how meticulously all aspects of this vaccine are being studied by legitimate researchers -

jaywalker2 replied to Red Phoenix's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Yeah, and in the 1980's and early 1990's a panic over alleged atanic rituals swept the US. Numerous cases were cited, victims went on talk shows to discuss how they had been molested, teachers at nursery schools and kindergartens were stigmatized, psychotherapists who interviewed the children declareds the validity of the claims. And it all turned out to be fake. No evidence ever turned up that Satanic cults were operating on a mass basis or that any of these incidents were true. -

A bunch of lies. All of the first generation of the vaccines have been tested against the CDC definition of a placebo. Bobby prefers to define placebo in his own way, as either water or salt water, but this generally isn't feasible especially when you already have an effective version of the vaccine available. Plus, remember the Salk trials? 400,000 people were injected with the Salk vaccine and another 200,000 received a saline placebo. They knew the vaccine was effective because 16 people died in the placebo group and 60 werre paralyzed while nobody died or was paralyzed in the vaccine group. Now what if you had been in the placebo group? In other words, if you have an effective vaccine you're risking death and severe illness by withholding it from people. Moreover, vaccine recipients are extensively followed after receiving a vaccine to see if any problems arise that weren't caught by the RCT's. This system is built to detect any suspicion of harm, not disguise it. -
The reason for this is that the BOJ decided that banks would be liable for scams that their customers fall prey to. As a result, banks instituted this rule in order to limit their own liability. It applies to both Thais and foreigners (although the system was set up with Thais in mind so figuring out how to include foreigners has evidently been a problem for some banks)

The answer is no. The 90 day report is just a formality that nobody cares about. Even if you have to deal with immigration later, all you need to do is file a new report and pay the fine. When you leave the country, they don't check. When you return, it resets. In fact, there's no need to do it at all. Even if you're applying for an extension, you only need to file the report and pay the fine before apply for the extension. Lots of people do that.

It is a great. A wonderful addition to modern civilization. I used the Japanese bidets in Japan and the water force wasn't sufficient nor the direction of the flow, which you couldn't adjust much, as they were made for Japanese butts. Plus, they had all these high tech additions that nobody needed. But with a Thai bum gun, you have simple efficient way cleaning your bum. These days I'm at a loss what to do if I encounter a toilet that only has toilet paper. It seems so crude and messy. I don't know why these aren't a standard bathroom item in Western countries. I guess you could argue that public bum guns are not very hygenic but that's true of public toilets in general.
