Why am I going CRAZY, these days? In this New Age?
Hokeus replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
GG: drunk, undersexed, frustrated, lonely, childish, and desperately looking for an outlet to spew his malignant, sociopathic rantings. -

His luck was not already bad enough, but then he ends up with a female Thai medic having to use a microscope and an angle grinder to saw the rings off. 😂 When asked afterwards how things went the female Thai medic responded with a smile and said: "Well, let's just say it was one of the smallest things I've ever had to deal with."

Not sure why. But there were dozen of shops on the connecting sois at the time that had silver jewelry stacked in clear plastic boxes and it was a place where travelers would go to buy it in bulk to then resell it for more money in other countries in the region.

KSR was fun in the early nineties. It was a place mainly for young people and it consisted of mostly budget travelers wearing singlets and fishermen pants comparing the length of their underarm braids. Most of them were in between journeys to the north or south of Thailand or other places in the region. Others were there buying up cheap silver to take to Japan to sell in order to replenish their funds so that they could continue traveling. It was considered the travelers hub where you could go to get cheap tickets to onward travel destinations and information about other interesting places to visit. This was of course the pre-internet era. We used to go down there to scroll through the used bookstores that were selling cheap second hand English language travel books and novels. Many places offering a khao pad and banana smoothie for around 60 Baht (US$2.50 at the time) and then you could sit there for hours and watch multiple Hollywood movies being played from VHS tapes on TV screens. The place was very relaxed and a good escape from the general Bangkok chaos. Most of the venues were open air restaurants that also served Kloster and Carlsberg beer and very few bars existed. Most of the people were there just to eat and relax and were not there looking for any nightlife. I never spent a night in any of the guesthouses there, but there was nothing annoying about the place in general from what I recall. At that time KSR was mainly that one main soi and it hadn't really spread out into many of the other adjoining sois yet. Geographically it's still good for budget tourists who will only be in Bangkok for a few days and who would like to be based in that area for easy access to the river and the palace. If it still was anything like what it was 30 years ago then it would be great. Places change. So best to accept that and just write it off for now, until perhaps one day it becomes something more interesting again.

Noisiest Trees in Thailand: Plop, Plop, Plop!
Hokeus replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Sounds like GG was sittin' with his arse cheeks wrapped around the porcelain god, after having consumed a lethal dose of Montezuma's Revenge, and, instead of accepting his fate, he took a solid hit off the bong and then started dreaming that he was under a fruit tree, as the barrage of plop-plop came jettisoning out of his bungholioooo! 🤦🏻♂️🤢🤮 -

Tinder for Old Guys: Any Old Guys here posted on Tinder?
Hokeus replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
OMG, frustration of the highest order. I have never seen someone project so much. Clearly GG went on Tinder trying to get a leg over, but he's old and his photos are unattractive and so it only resulted "in and out" for money proposals. Now he's drunk and pissed off and he's trying to bait others who might have had a similar experience to share their stories. Sorry, GG, looks like you're alone on this pathetic fishing expedition. Meanwhile, you aren't getting any younger, nor are your forearms, so you better open that little wallet of yours and let some true love come in. ❤️ 🤣😘- 28 replies

Welcome to SE Asia. Bear in mind these figures from the WHO are from 2011. So presumably, more than 10 years later, things are much worse now.

Wow, the colors and the formation of that fuzzy flower are very beautiful. Congratulations. For those of us who don’t grow our own it would also be interesting to see how the plant looks after it’s been dried and then maybe to see it again after all the buds have been snipped off and are ready to be consumed. Normally I only ever see a large quantity of buds in bags and jars from a supplier. But I never see the stages of how it gets from point A to point B. Seeing that flower dried and then separated into buds would be good fun. 👍🏼

High-Protein Meal Delivery Services In Bangkok
Hokeus replied to Hokeus's topic in Western Food in Thailand
I've compiled a list below (together with their Instagram links) of 26 other meal delivery services in Bangkok. So there are quite a few options for people who want to have fresh meals delivered for multiple days in advance and don't want to cook or go to restaurants. Many of them are offering mostly Asian and Thai food and some have a mix of Asian and Western. You can look through them to see what they offer. 1. @getfreshth - [instagram.com/getfreshth](https://www.instagram.com/getfreshth) 2. @eatcleananddiet - [instagram.com/eatcleananddiet](https://www.instagram.com/eatcleananddiet) 3. @lemon8_thailand - [instagram.com/lemon8_thailand](https://www.instagram.com/lemon8_thailand) 4. @goat.bangkok - [instagram.com/goat.bangkok](https://www.instagram.com/goat.bangkok) 5. @saladstop.th - [instagram.com/saladstop.th](https://www.instagram.com/saladstop.th) 6. @orgboxthailand - [instagram.com/orgboxthailand](https://www.instagram.com/orgboxthailand) 7. @paleorobbie - [instagram.com/paleorobbie](https://www.instagram.com/paleorobbie) 8. @homiecleanfood - [instagram.com/homiecleanfood](https://www.instagram.com/homiecleanfood) 9. @amhealthyfood - [instagram.com/amhealthyfood](https://www.instagram.com/amhealthyfood) 10. @healthy_deliciousss - [instagram.com/healthy_deliciousss](https://www.instagram.com/healthy_deliciousss) 11. @cleanfood_by_ps - [instagram.com/cleanfood_by_ps](https://www.instagram.com/cleanfood_by_ps) 12. @habitfoodsco - [instagram.com/habitfoodsco](https://www.instagram.com/habitfoodsco) 13. @brunchbowl - [instagram.com/brunchbowl](https://www.instagram.com/brunchbowl) 14. @goodrootsbkk - [instagram.com/goodrootsbkk](https://www.instagram.com/goodrootsbkk) 15. @cleanfitdelivery - [instagram.com/cleanfitdelivery](https://www.instagram.com/cleanfitdelivery) 16. @dailyset_cleanfood - [instagram.com/dailyset_cleanfood](https://www.instagram.com/dailyset_cleanfood) 17. @fit2go_th - [instagram.com/fit2go_th](https://www.instagram.com/fit2go_th) 18. @leanlicious.official - [instagram.com/leanlicious.official](https://www.instagram.com/leanlicious.official) 19. @absolutefitfood - [instagram.com/absolutefitfood](https://www.instagram.com/absolutefitfood) 20. @purelite_by_pureorganicfarm - [instagram.com/purelite_by_pureorganicfarm](https://www.instagram.com/purelite_by_pureorganicfarm) 21. @dailycleanfoodbkk - [instagram.com/dailycleanfoodbkk](https://www.instagram.com/dailycleanfoodbkk) 22. @mommy_clean_food - [instagram.com/mommy_clean_food](https://www.instagram.com/mommy_clean_food) 23. @calories_killer - [instagram.com/calories_killer](https://www.instagram.com/calories_killer) 24. @fitmealfoods - [instagram.com/fitmealfoods](https://www.instagram.com/fitmealfoods) 25. @salad.smith.th - [instagram.com/salad.smith.th](https://www.instagram.com/salad.smith.th) 26. @dmindcleanclean - [instagram.com/dmindcleanclean](https://www.instagram.com/dmindcleanclean) -
Since you mentioned that you are a giraffe, a donkey and an elephant, you should be perfectly fine in the heat without air-conditioning. By the way, have you met my friend GG?

High-Protein Meal Delivery Services In Bangkok
Hokeus replied to Hokeus's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Forgot to mention, on the above Canva link I provided there are 6 different photos showing their full weekly menu. Just click to the right side on each photo (or swipe left on your phone) to advance to the next menu page. Also, meals average between 100-130 Baht per chicken meal and more for the fish. I only order the chicken meals and the price is quite fair I think for what you get. The meals arrive chilled and can be kept fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days and then just reheat in the microwave in 2 minutes when you want to eat them. -
Bank printout must show every transaction?
Hokeus replied to chrischronic's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes, most Thai banks won't stamp, sign, or certify and document that was not printed by their own systems. I don't blame them in a way. Extra liability they don't need. -
Bank printout must show every transaction?
Hokeus replied to chrischronic's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I do the same at present, but with a passbook savings account. The account has no ATM card. Occasionally I login and check the balance using the mobile banking app to make sure the money is still there and in the app I have also disabled all withdrawals on the account. So no money can actually be withdrawn intentionally or accidentally and there is no ATM card which would render any charges to the account. So it's fine. I also keep 815K in the account just to be sure there are no accidents on the balance amount. It's probably a bit more than I need, but it's OK. -
Another good option and half the price of the same one I suggested on Shopee. The only difference is that one is from overseas, which means it could take 10 days or so to get it. I tend to buy from local suppliers on Shopee and Lazada and pay a bit more if I want to get it quickly.

Though ask and though shall receive: https://shp.ee/vrf1ahs Just go on Shoppe though and do a search for ashtray. Lots of other options with lids, water chambers, etc. This one looks good too: https://shp.ee/yph8qss

That is good information. I always wondered how you would be able to switch bank accounts if you ever wanted to and without falling below the threshold in the process. I guess the easiest thing to do, assuming you have all your money in one account at the moment, would be to withdraw everything except 805,000 Baht from the account and then start a second account to use for your daily purchases. This way the balance in the original account never falls below the 800K and you don't have to do any fancy financial moves to maintain the threshold. TBH, I never saw much value though in tying up the money in a FD account for the 800K Baht. I guess for some people who really want the interest it is OK, but it only pays around 2.25% interest and then minus the 15% withholding tax for foreigners and it doesn't leave you with that much, maybe around 15,000 Baht per year in interest after taxes. Meanwhile, a regular savings account will give you 1.5% interest, minus the 15% withholding tax which is a net of about 10,000 Baht after tax. So it is a difference of only around 5,000 Baht a year between a savings and a FD account. Maybe enough of a difference for some, but I rather not have it tied up in an FD for a difference of only 5,000 Baht.
