Thanks. So a very high headline making interest rate for 16 days, a decent return for 38 days and an average return for 104 days - giving a return of 3.50% for a year. Still, 3.5% for a year is OK, but I'd much prefer the 17%!

The bank has a press release on its website that mentions a 16.99% interest rate but when you look through the accounts they offer, there is nothing like that for interest rates. https://www.gsb.or.th/news/gsbpr19-66/

Are you sure it is not 1.7% instead of 17%? Edit: They are offering 1.75% for a fixed deposit account of 36 months. https://www.gsb.or.th/personals/เงินฝากประจำ-36-เดือน-2/ .

Can you choose to get notifications by email instead? That's what I get and I don't get charged anything by the bank. If you have access to your email on your mobile phone, an email is as good as an SMS.

Thanks for your detailed post, CrunchWrapSupreme. The last time I did it, I went to the Labour Office in the morning and waited there (in the office where they could see me) until they had finished. I then went to Immigration in the afternoon.

"The besieged eastern city is a crumpled, skeletal wreck. But Ukraine knows losing it could be costly" In manpower terms, I'm sure the battle for Bakhmut will be costly for both sides.

But immigration don't open until 7.30am or 8am.

Does Ukraine have any aircraft left? .

Where on your phone can you check to see how full the wifi logs are?

I don't think Huawei does. Google banned them from including it 3 years ago due to US sanctions on the company.

Slava American taxpayers!

No, but not drinking enough of it might. It appears the son drank only one glass of it after buying it. .

Seeing the OP article say that "the temperature index soared to 53 degrees Celsius" I had to look up "temperature index" because a temperature of 53C would have smashed the recent Thai record of 43.5C. Apparently the temperature index is what the temperature feels like to the human body rather than the actual temperature. I suppose that's what weather apps mean when they say it's 35C but feels like 42C.

I can't find anything that says those solar farms were not profitable, and it would seem the solar farms are still operating and generating income. It seems to me that poor decision making by the solar farms' owner has been the problems leading to the company going into administration. That and poor due diligence by Thurrock council has led to the council's problem. https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2022-07-15/his-companies-made-a-deal-for-138m-of-taxpayers-money.-where-has-it-gone

RIP Joe.

How common is a one night stand? How handsome are you? .

Which part of the story? You met a guy who was learning Thai? You met a guy who made notes to try to improve his Thai? Or the part where the guy made a mistake in his Thai and you you tried to correct him but told him something that was also wrong? Or the part where you tell us what it should have been but get that wrong too? Well, I've read more interesting stories but also more boring stories. The best bit for me was when you wrote the Thai word for build and not order. If only you had read the Thai consonants and vowels you had written. If you had read them out loud, you would have known they were two completely different words because of the different tones and different vowel lengths (assuming you can tell the difference in tones - some people can't). Anyway, Stevey, carry on. It's easy to criticize but I always try to look for the positives. ????

The Move Forward party are closing rapidly on the Pheu Thai party in the polls. PT seem to be shooting themselves in the foot and Move Forward are picking up more and more supporters. If it continues like this for another week, you won't have to worry about Thaksin, his family or the PT party winning the election. Just look out for the Move Forward party leader then being accused of doing something sometime somewhere and his party being dissolved.

อาหารตามสร้าง is not correct, Stevey. Your last word is wrong. It should be สั่ง (order) not สร้าง (build). Different spelling, different vowel lengths, different tones, different meanings. So, อาหารตามสั่ง - food-according to-order. Yours says something like: food according to build. FYI: ตาม can also mean follow/following.

No. You can drink as much as you like. You just can't buy it or sell it. Stock up beforehand if you need to.

???? How did she stop you?

The woman in black said the basement is to be used as a storage space. It's not a living space. For sure there's plenty of space for storage. Personally I'd have made the basement taller, but as the woman in blue kept repeating in the video about various things in the house... "It's what the customer wanted", so presumably the customer made the decision on the basement too.

A black collared starling maybe?

I just checked my lottery ticket. ^ It wasn't me!
