significant meaning for us.

If I had b50 for every bad, stupid and or ugly tattoo that I see daily I'd be set for life.

The ghastly tribal tattoo? Mickey mouse? Some clever and misspelled witticism? The name of your gf-wife-ex ?? How about Chang beer tattoo ????????

Some tatts so heavy inked just looks like solid black ink top to bottom. Always feel sorry for women especially attractive ones that ruin their bodies with this trendy rubbish.

Nothing cool about a thing if everyone doing the thing.

Media celebs not smart.. they will get and do the same stupid, inane tatts as the rest of the lemmings

Controversy over Lisa’s tattoos shows misogynistic, outdated mindset

misogynistic, outdated mindset - gee, biased article perhaps? Where are the truth police?

Lol, oh please stop my sides are killing me... ????????????????????????????‍????????

It's an ok beach. Certainly not one of Thailand's best. 400b to enter and no idea per night (used to be camping). I wouldn't travel all the way from BKK for this beach certain.

Maya Bay is unique due to geography, it's not just another beach. I've never been tbh much too crowded, scammy.

... what wasn't immediately known was that all those 117 boxes of documents/cases against Thai cops and corruption... all destroyed in fire ????????????????

Ooops, now how did that happen

These days it's Krungsri. Few lines, fairly quick. Polite service. Small but we'll managed bank

Isn't the WISE card a debit card ?

 

This makes a big difference at least in US.

Credit vs debit

Many more safeguards with credit card

You've just advocated for an arguably unelected representative to remove an elected one??

You cant use future SSI as income.

 

You can use last years tax return or use fixed assets such as houses or cars to meet the requirement.

 

I'm trying to recall but something tells me I needed to provide 3 years of back tax transcripts

Yes, thanks three years back.

which taxing government are you asking about ?
 

For US income taxes, last time i checked , SS benefit is not income until SS is sending you money. 

US.

Not for purposes of taxation but count as income on 864.

Anyway, I thought about this a bit deeper and it's impossible because USCIS would not be able to verify the amount even if it were allowed.

Sorry to have troubled you.

Just toying with an idea here.

Social security income would count as income but must you actually be drawing it or can you state it as income when over 62+??

Would like to apply for her IR1 few years before I'd draw is the idea.

I have enough for the visa but some funds in question years down the line.

The situation with cash here is similar to in the West where maximum limits exists, that also applies to cumulative smaller amounts which when combined, exceed the limit. 

So, you're saying if I change 10 at SCB and 10 at superrich that forex is interconnected throughout country?

Anything over USD20k has to be declared to Customs when entering the country. If you didn't do that, there may be questions.

Lol

Only if you change all 20k at a bank ...maybe

Just change 10 2x

This wasn't the question

Having been an English teacher is totally irrelevant and adds nothing to the story. Typical for this site.

Works in water industry. Nebulous info. Probably drives a truck, delivers bottles of water.

Irony about the water.. the bottle, the hassles, his job USA

You have an interesting scale for not long ago or be a real Pattaya pioneer.

In the mid 2000s (have a picture from my hotel in Soi Lengkee from 2006) the area was fully developed.

So if let's say if before 2004 is not long ago then maybe.

My proof does not reach further back.

 

 

Cows on soi bukhao lol.

Sorry, no. Not in 35 years or more. Just a story

Air Canada gets my vote.  Just go to Trip advisor and read the reviews. And they are

in the business of  losing luggage, cancelling flights with no refunds and blessed by the Canadian

government.  And you can't even sue them as the government has changed the laws to protect

the airlines.  You can see the other Canadian airlines on the list. You have been warned.

Like airline, like nation.

Canada and hapless, woke cancel culture
