I'm going to be driving to and from Khao Yai from Bangkok in a few days.  Are there any decent restaurants roughly half way between the two for lunch?  (Please, no McDonald's, Starbucks or KFC.)

They're a cultivar that originated in Thailand, but are now found across SE Asia.  In the West they are usually referred to as "nam wah" bananas - nam wah being a direct transcription of the Thai name.

In my experience, having opened accounts with IBRK, Internaxx (now SwissQuote) and Saxo, they're fine with no TIN.  Just tell them you have no taxable income arising in Thailand, so no number allocated.

She is now, the title she won was MasterChef 

Nope.  That programme debases the title "chef" in the same way as this topic title does.

A chef is a professional cook.  She is not a chef, and winning that program doesn't make her one.  Of course, there's nothing wrong with being a good cook.

"Thai Chef Wins Top UK Cooking Show"

Nonsense.  She's not a chef.  Her day job is a coffee roaster.  She's a talented home cook.  That is all.

The will can be registered with the local khet office (they're not called amphur in Bangkok).

Thanks for the replies.  I've since discovered that Chrome does an excellent job.  Far better than the dedicated editors I've tried, and the online edit services.

I need to fill in a large number of PDF forms.  Document View struggles to find the input fields.  Okular doesn't format the results of equations correctly, and apparently doesn't total columns.  Anyone know of a good, free PDF form editor?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.  I guess I don't need to pack a few boxes of masks then.

I go back to the UK tomorrow after several years away.  I was wondering what the situation is with wearing masks against Covid.  Is everyone still wearing them?

My online application for Chaeng Wattana has also been pending for a week.  Certainly taking longer than usual.

Why single out Parmesan? Lots of cheeses are made with rennet.

Can't get "copy" to work.  However

(1) I don't believe the 1000 mg version is available in Thailand.

(2) And I think 750 mg should have been 850 mg.

(3) Glucophage is going to be a lot more expensive than local and generic brands.

Wonder if the Muslim leaders also agreed with his massage palour business? 

Of course they do, provided it's not Muslim women providing the service.  They would be classed as "what your right hands possess" - a phrase that appears 15 times in the Koran - meaning, amongst other things, that it's acceptable to rape them.

Are these the same Muslims (primarily men) that spend much of their lives stoned from chewing qat?

enshrined in the constitution

Very odd wording.  A shrine is a place for religious worship, made holy by some object or connection to a person.  The constitution is simply a man written document; there is nothing holy about it, and it should be open to being questioned and changed.

They give 6 different payment options and the price changes depending on which you choose, the individual charge is identified in each case.  Hardly "zero information". 

You only get that information after you've put in all the booking details.  It would be helpful to know upfront what their scale of charges is for different payment methods before going through all that.

Nok Air's website has pretty much zero information about the additional charges they make for payment by different methods (and every method I've tried involves extra costs).  Anyone know what the cheapest way to pay for one of their domestic flights is?

Thanks.

I assist folk in opening accounts in Bangkok and it's basically impossible without certificate of residence or letter from embassy. 

Maybe folk would be better off without your assistance if the banks are requiring such documentation when you're involved.  I've opened accounts in Bangkok with Krung Sri, Bangkok Bank, Krung Thai and TMB (as was) with just a passport.

And one with 3 tier pricing; clearly they were classifying this person in the first tier (tourist) price category.

Didn't the government mandate about a year or so ago that all hospitals publish their prices on their websites? Did that ever happen? Or are we still kept in the dark about double (or triple) pricing?

Thai Paiboon is second to none. Costs a bit but worth every Satang.

I guess you're not familiar with how Thai is actually spoken.  It consistently gets the tone of unstressed syllables wrong.  Not worth even a single satang.

Be more precise.  What exactly is the company name?

This company apparently has branches neither in Udon nor Pattaya.

This would have been better posted in the Thai Language subforum.

Anyway, there I identified a number of alternatives to thai2english:

The official spelling (Royal Institute Dictionary) is ฤษี.  Spelling #2 is a nonsense.

Pronunciation, /rʉ́ˑsǐi/.
