How does a dumb lawyer, get to be DA of Alamada County then San Francisco, then Attorney General of California and then Senator from California? Yes she must be really stupid to be able to do all that. Please, respectfully you are only exposing your ignorance.

She'll win. Trump in no way can compare to her accomplishments in public service. She has climbed the ladder of public service in California like a rock star. She was Attorney General of California under Jerry Brown and then went on to be senator after Barbara Boxer. She was a DA for Alamada county and then San Francisco. Those are both very difficult jobs Trump could never do. He is not a lawyer. He's a failed businessman. The guy ran a casino into the ground. You have to be a real nimbus to do something like that. She is an extremely intelligent woman. Trump can't hold a candle to her track record, intelligence, experience and education. She's my home girl and she's gonna win like a rock star. Get over it.

At your age: Do you still take life seriously?
StandardIssue replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I really like the part where he carefully removes the upper scalp of Ray Liotta cuts out, frys and makes him eat his own brains. That part of the film was pretty damn crazy. I really related to that because at times in my old age it feels like someone took part of my brain out, fryed it with some onions and wine and fed to to me. The brains that are left are the remains of the day. -
At your age: Do you still take life seriously?
StandardIssue replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
LOL, this has got to be one of the weirdest posts I've ever seen. Did someone dare the OP to pack as many unrelated Dylan quotes and pictures from the 60's and growing old in one post as possible? ( along with a completely unrelated flow chart ) ... If not there is a Thai guy in Pattaya that drives around a cart with about a thousand signs and pictures on it.. you guys should team up to amuse the general population and continue to prove that reality is stranger than fiction. BTW, you forgot to mention that man didn't land on the moon, the earth is flat and climate change is a conspiracy by the Illuminati to alter our precious bodily fluids. -
Two Foreign Tourists Arrested for Selling Ecstasy on Koh Phangan
StandardIssue replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Drop some X before a haircut appointment, they had an interesting idea, they might have gotten some business from Rave goers. But alas, if you are tourist in Thailand you can't just open up a lemonade stand and expect to do business without some consequences. -
I'm confused, USA is now a communist country?
StandardIssue replied to bubblegum's topic in Political Soapbox
Ah, just delete this post please. Yes you are confused. Perhaps to a little more research than browsing random Facebook posts when trying to make your grand conclusions. -
What is the world coming to when you can't take a stroll down Soi 6 without getting a beat down? What happened to the smell of fresh espresso and croissants. Where has it gone, the sweet sound of jovial conversation and pleasant music? The smiles and lite conversation of the locals. In all seriousness though,there are way to many numbskull foreigners jetting into Thailand and acting like complete ass hats. Sorry he got hurt but in a way I think he may have deserved a beat down for being an entitled drunkard foreigner trying to pound his ego filled chest in probably the most stanky armpit of a s#!t hole whore house strip of street in the world. If anyone is surprised this happened than they need a major reality check.

No, just a about 45% of the American people around 8 years back. I think the majority of the rest of the world probably think the intelligence of the average American has slowly crept downward since the Nixon administration.

Pattaya rebranding as family-friendly destination to boost tourism
StandardIssue replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Great for a family vacation, the cultural attractions and events are so numerous I'm surprised this has not happened years ago LOL!! There is a water park AND Ripleys believe it or not... that ought to do it! -
Another reason not to live anywhere near Pattaya. That's all I need is to run into a bunch of drunk Kuwaitis speeding around on motorbikes whilst I'm trying to get home from buying some groceries at the local Tesco or Big C. What a S#!t hole. I enjoy some fun now and again and to imagine these idiots have been anywhere in or around a possible fun girl makes me want to puke. I've had the displeasure of speaking with a couple of these types before. Entitled lunk heads. I understand they are "potentially" deporting the offenders. Rather than potentially why not actually deport them. Baffling, but you know what they say. TIT

No branding necessary. This has been a pretty damn good way to describe Trump for quite a long while now. Example: At the Bitcoin conference in Nashville (which is attended by not only crypto enthusiasts but intelligent developers and intellectuals) He was claiming that Kamala Harris would be trying to push for a form of abortion that included execution of the baby AFTER it's born. How he could think any rational person would believe this crazy nut job weird BS is beyond me. Statements like that are beyond weird. To make such blatant lies is pure evil. Only someone intellectually challenged or mentally impaired would go along with such outrageous nonsense. He and Vance are WEIRD!!!

ATM withdrawl limits?
StandardIssue replied to StandardIssue's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
That has been my experience but I refrain from using my US credit or debit cards because the fees are very high. 220THB on the Thai side. $13.50 USD on the USA side. My friend has no choice as a tourist so... that is why I made the OP. He wants to use a USA debit card. He doesn't really want to use credit cards because his credit sucks. Looking for the max he can get on the Thai side if he is able to set his US bank to allow a $1000 daily limit which looks to be the case. He can set the limit up by contacting his bank and telling them he is traveling and wants cash. -
ATM withdrawl limits?
StandardIssue replied to StandardIssue's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Details please? Using what card? Out of country debit or credit? What country? OP is about using an out of country debit or credit card. I guess I should not be surprised that many of the "members' here don't really read carefully. Sorry my friend but why did you even post? There is no detail. -
ATM withdrawl limits?
StandardIssue replied to StandardIssue's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Which bank? Do you have an account with said bank? did you fill out any paper work? You did not mention typing your PIN. Posting some details would be helpful.. otherwise it sounds like boasting in my humble opinion. How you dress is the least of my friends worries as he's not your average sloppy tourist in shorts, sunglasses and floppies. -
ATM withdrawl limits?
StandardIssue replied to StandardIssue's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Thanks, but my OP is basically a question for a tourist with no bank account. Although it could also apply to an expat who is not interested in having a lot of eyes on the money he is bringing into country if you know what I mean. So certainly NOT depositing funds into a Thai bank account would be prudent in the last case. -
Why are there so many farang lefties in Thailand
StandardIssue replied to susanlea's topic in Political Soapbox
Thailand politics has nothing to do with my choice about living here. Respectfully your OP is widely general and, in my opinion warrants no reply as, again Thalands politics, which you say is right wing, has no bearing on expats political leanings. I'm not out there talking politics with Thai people for a couple reasons. 1) I speak Thai but not well enough to have a meaningful political discussion. 2) A huge portion of the population is working class and do not have much insight into the actual politics going on in their country. Respectfully people who make posts using such basic and general terms as "lefties" and "righties" are people who favor politicians of the same general mind set or .. again respectfully lack of an insightful mindset. DT being a politician with a very limited intelligence or good general education. A clear distinction is to look at the education and intelligence of Barack Obamaha. He was a CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER who was the editor of the Harvard Law Review. Meanwhile Trump was just a TV personality and failed businessman. -

ATM withdrawl limits?
StandardIssue replied to StandardIssue's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I saw the 25 note limit awhile ago on one particular bank machine. So to get 25000 from that ATM it would have to have enough 1000 notes to cover the withdraw. Thanks. But doesn't make sense to get charged 220THB + home bank international ATM withdraw charges for say a 5000 THB ATM withdraw .. of course. I wonder how many expats are starting to make ATM withdraws instead of Swift or Wise transfers these days with the new Thai tax BS. -
ATM withdrawl limits?
StandardIssue replied to StandardIssue's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Thanks, yea I had seen the dispensing bill limit when I had tried a large withdraw. Some machines more than others. I'll look into seeing what his home bank limit is. -
Anybody with some cash, a couple good cell phones and $100 worth of lighting equipment bought on Lazada could start making their own. But be sure and not get caught making porn here in country. Thailand strictly forbids production of porn, although a lot of guys do it some get busted and go off the the Bangkok Hilton. As far as career moves goes. I think it is probably night an ideal choice 🤪 🤪... most porn producers don't do well these days. There are boat loads of amateur producers and tons of webcam recording footage out there. Who actually makes any real money making porn these days. it's a fools enterprise IMHO.

Anybody have any experience with daily ATM withdrawl THB limits? A USA buddy of mine plans to visit soon and he wants to avoid fees and withdraw the max amount of THB he can for each visit to the ATM to avoid the per transaction fees. Looks like the flat fees are the same no matter the amount for each withdraw. Also, which Thai bank ATM allows the most THB daily withdraw? Which Thai Bank ATM has the lowest fees? Any experienced replies very appreciated.
