Correction. Turns out the dark side place that has mataba beef or chicken is still listed on Panda. But for me not like you get in Malaysia. Koree Roti Halal 23, Moo 5, Soi Noen Phlap Whan, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung

Maybe switch to taxact? I file there free. You can get a longer extension until October 15 if you want. I must say taxact has a screen that very much looks as if the number is required but then it isn't. Maybe turbo might be the same.

Its all about Putin. If he can sell a loss as a win there may be hope.

I don't know but I use taxact.com and they ask for that phone number near the end of the filing process but then allow you to proceed without it. Are you really sure that turbotax strictly requires it?

I found it at one place on a delivery app on the dark side but they're not listed anymore and it was a <deleted> poor version anyway compared to Malaysia. It's weird that a local business doesn't exploit this. Do it well in a good location, why wouldn't it work? Heck even a f-rang could start such a business by hiring a competent cook. Or even an Indian restaurant could do them as an sideline. This general issue has been a pet peeve of mine for years. There is such poor representation of other than Thailand ASEAN food here. It's a crying shame.

No way. The Russian people are not that motivated.

What was last month's special is now on their regular pizza menu. I guess people liked it? This month the special includes ground wagyu beef, pepperoni, and green pepper (380).

U.S. national treasure documentarian Ken Burns soon to release his latest on Benjamin Frankin starring Homeland star Mandy Patinkin. WOW!

Call Pattaya Memorial Hospital and ask. If they can, it'll be 1600 baht.

Happy to hear its a career diplomatic That political appointment from Mr Trump was vomitous.

Sure but the vast majority of local Thai restaurants don't have it because its a regional Northern Lanna dish.

It really is a higher quality version than usual. Restaurants are not cheating at all if customers see the price and agree to it especially if they like the food so much that they order again. Don't get me wrong. Of course many restaurants are rip offs serving low quality for high prices. Just don't go back!

I agree but that is the Food Panda price. I don't know the price in house. Can someone kindly report it? But regardless of the price it is quite a special version of Massaman. It features very large chunks of delicious beef with the squash pieces in a scrumptious curry sauce Served in a carved out squash which could be seen as a gimmick. Some roti pieces are included but you still need rice.

People have always been welcome to post information and reviews of street food here.

I agree. This Russian propaganda that Russian speakers in Ukraine deserve to have their land annexed is total bull. Russia without ALL of Ukraine is a massive country. Any Ukrainian Russian speakers that wish to be Russian could be invited to be Russian IN RUSSIA. Putin is acting like Hitler did in trying to rationalize invading the German speaking areas of Czechoslovakia. Hitler was wrong then, Putin in wrong now. Don't be fooled by any Russian propaganda. Putin is on record that ALL of Ukraine doesn't even exist as a separate nation.

Barbarians.

Just as last year the faux deadline is April 15 2022 but the real deadline is October 15, 2022. That is because there is an AUTOMATIC EXTENSION to October 15 that requires no request to get. This automatic extension applies to both US residents and expats. Happy filing. https://www.taxesforexpats.com/guides/us-expat-tax-guide-2022.html

I don't see any reason why this won't pass in the senate as well. For 401k's and IRA's. Current age is 72. Bill would raise that to 73 in 2023, 74 in 2030 and 75 in 2033. Penalties for not taking these mandatory withdrawals are severe. There is some talk of getting rid of the mandatory withdraws entirely, but not in this passed house bill. Bill extending 401(k) withdrawals and boosting auto-enrollment in retirement accounts passes House (yahoo.com)

This is a can of worms issue, but here goes. If trans women competitive athletes never won anything, this wouldn't be such a big issue, but it gets magnified when they do, as just happened in the NCAA. Lia Thomas becomes first trans woman to win NCAA swimming championship (usatoday.com) While the right wing is focused on mean spirited widely discriminatory laws to ban trans girls and women from ever competing at all, on the other side, the mainstream LGBT politics is for full inclusiveness within defined guidelines around things like hormone levels. Even if it was true that a trans women never had an unfair advantage based on birth gender, the damaging political optics of this issue are never going to go away, particularly when trans women win. After all, in competitive sports, tiny advantages make all the difference. My question here is whether blindly supporting inclusiveness without taking into account the constant and predictable backlash (that will never go away) is really worth it? This issue isn't about everything in the lives of trans women or all or most trans women. It's only about a small minority of them that wish to participate in formal athletic competition. For them not to be able to do that would be a loss for them of course. But the question here, is if this one aspect of such a small number of people within a minority really WORTH it? Considering the public sees LGBT as a monolith type thing, should support for this inclusiveness be moved from knee jerk always for to NEUTRAL. Not to join the bigots but to just back off even if it will be seen by some as throwing people under the bus? Keeping in mind the cliche pick your battles wisely, should this be a battle that LGBT politics should wisely choose to NOT pick? Doesn't support for this highly controversial niche issue DAMAGE the rest of the LGBT political movement's equality goals?

There is an item I want to buy but I can't find it on Lazada or Shopee but I did find it on Ali Express. Any information on shopping with them from Thailand? Possible? Accept Thai debit cards?

This is a new concept in restaurant review threads. I hope y'all enjoy it and participate. Pattaya I think is a better food city than many people know or think. Time to spread the word, in a short and sweet way. Suggested Guidelines: Make it short! (and sweet) Emphasis on reasonably priced restaurants! (most of us are not made of money) Emphasis on less than famous restaurants! (most of have heard of the Sizzler) Emphasis on new "discoveries" to you, not necessarily new restaurants! (if its new to you, it may be new to us too) Emphasis on places with at least some good dishes! (seeking pleasure here, not pain) Emphasis on places that offer something a little bit "different"! (green curry isn't different) Include a link if you like! (this is the internet after all) Try to indicate location! (location, location) So the idea here is a running thread with perhaps "twitter-like" quick HIT and RUN reviews on a variety of places you've experienced and would like to share. As opposed to threads about one restaurant, or threads on one food type like pizza. I will start with THREE of my own Hit and Run mentions to illustrate the concept. I think in general doing ONE at a time (one post, one mini "hit and run" review) is probably better but I wanted to get the ball rolling with three. *************** Ons Moeder Dutch Restaurant, Jomtien Menu is in Dutch. Daily three course meal -- 280 baht Many classic Dutch dishes. Try the super thick pea soup! Some say the best Dutch food in Thailand, I wouldn't be surprised! Dutch hangout, you might not feel that you fit in if not Dutch but its worth going for the food. Near the inner Jomtien beach police box area http://www.ons-moede...aya.nl/map.html http://www.tripadvis...i_Province.html **************** "The Place" Israeli Restaurant Menu in English and Hebrew and maybe Thai (I forget) Hard to find Israeli specialties: Shakshuka served with bread (this is very similar to Mexican Huevos Rancheros I kid you not!), Hummus with spicy meat, Hummus with organ meats, Baba ghanoush, Full platter dinner meals, Homemade soups such as chicken or lentil I think probably the best Israeli "place" in town and yes of course an Israeli tourist hangout Soi Boukaow, not too far from Pattaya Tai https://foursquare.c...a52fadb3461eb25 ****************** Umanchu Okinawa Food Also has Thai food. Okinawa food has different dishes than standard Japanese. Featured Okinawa dishes: Bitter gourd with pork and egg stir fry / Okinawa soba with pork belly style pork (both offered in small sets 200 baht) Prices moderate, portions on the small side. Good clean flavors. Only a few tables and they are outside! Across the street from the Montien Hotel, 2nd Road http://en.wikipedia....kinawan_cuisine http://www.foodpanda...anchu-(Pattaya) _________________ The idea NOW is for you to add YOUR own hit and run snippets about places YOU would like to mention and share. My "vision" for this thread is just a bunch of posts only with these mini hit and run restaurant mentions, but I understand people are probably going to want to COMMENT on the restaurants other people have mentioned. I guess we'll see how it goes (if it goes at all).
