Because

Most of the tiny bit of video I've seen online couldn't hold my attention for even a few minutes. Some old geezers prattling on about girls, bars or visas. Nevertheless, I'm wondering if you know of anyone that has made this work (high views, money)? Seems even videos that have been up years have low views. Blogs... sadly, no one reads Podcasts... even stateside podcasts can bore to tears. I've never heard an expat podcast that held my attention more than a few mins. I think they need editing and polished presentation as videos I recall Mark Weins (sp?) has a fairly successful good channel. How do you monetize it? From home country? Curious.

That's what the amphor asked of me. This is kinda common ask if you think about it... Need a medical certificate at 40yo for a drs license and simply to hold a job. The way I understood was it's basically a medical certificate I need to hunt down a psychologist in Thailand. The cost is nominal and your amphor may vary, but I'd recommend bc why not?

I couldn't edit in time, sorry Will must also include some doctor certification you are of sound mind. I think the amphor wanted this to accept - I'd also include it within the will itself in the envelope

In the US a wife may claim a fraction of her husband's social security if she herself has lived in USA for no less than five years plus some additional hoops.

At my amphor in central Bangkok they will accept a will from a foreigner and store it. The will must be in Thai although could have English translation. It needs to be signed by two witnesses and sealed. As I understood it they were simply holding the will and not providing any sort of verification, certification, notarization. As I recall they informed me it should be put in an envelope with the name of the person that would retrieve it (executor, wife) as well as simple instructions that might be necessary before the will was opened. I think I'll create two. One for the wife and drop another at the registrar Anyone know where to get sealing wax in Thailand?

It's been 15 years, but yes. As I recall they have small shops about or are just lurking for customers. I had mine done there.

Not laughing with you laughing at you. Thin skin...that wouldn't be me. I'm simply pointing out your endless irritating BS. I react as I do because I'm absolutely lost on the facts... You continually post here yet you do not live in Thailand You continue to post here despite no one the least bit interested in your US centric, leftist, propaganda and rubbish. You post so frequently that you often hit record weekly numbers. You continue to post on this forum - absolutely no current or valuable information for members. Your posts are almost now exclusively limited to this political sub forum. It's just your tired, stupid opinions. When enough people point out to you that you don't live in Thailand and haven't for years you toss out that you'd lived on Koh Samui (ugh) for whatever.. year or two Those past stupid politically correct posts about in bizzarro, upside down world -people effectively had a similar standard of living measured differently ... Say 1500s?? Native American Indians vs. even a broke, working class person living in a clean, modern city with a decent job, transport, medicine, clean food and water, technology and education. You've posted some real tripe on this form but that is probably the stupidest shlt I've read in a long time. You are a very, bored man that apparently gets some form of fulfillment by posting here. You are chronically wrong, against the clear eyed, sober US and world political mainstream. Seriously, fu*k off with yourself and your childish opinions. Knowing his swayed and no one is interested Don't go away mad - just go away.

You're an absolute laff. Penicillin and sanitation alone... Misty eyed post colonist mental masturbation Technology definitely your curse. You're on of the top board nanny's, top leftist finger wagger, dripping with sanctimonious nonsense. You post on a board centered around a country you're thousands of miles from. You have a hugely mistaken belief anyone cares anything about your opinions. White man trope ffs. This board is nothing but white men, yet here you are day in and day out ... A new low even for you

Oh please... I'd love to see you even camp rough for ten days. Going back four hundred years would bring me to tears 😂😂😂 White man's trope...ok white man 🤣 🖕

Are you stating that every immigrant the Biden administration/ Myorkas let in had been individually vetted? Your opinion is irrelevant. You're minority party and abused the good will of the American people. Excluding Trump 1, 2 the past decades have always been about loose immigration to game the census and House of Representatives. It's that cynical I don't think anyone really cares about your opinion Spidermite

These people are damaging the nation, being placed in extremely powerful positions and becoming multi millionaires in the process. The empire needs to die so the nation may live

Please don't tell me about my nation's politics of which you know absolutely nothing about Probably...so, is it a *blatant lie*? You don't know There is not an American alive that voted for Trump now kicking themself they didn't vote for Harris. That is absolutely asinine and demonstrates how clearly you know nothing about the American body politic

No one is regretting anything no matter the disappoinment. The alternative was Kamala Harris ffs

Marco Rubio is a neocon and a sewer rat. If you love endless war he'd appreciate your support for president in 28. He's sure as F running.

All the while the pile of 100s of Biden's autopenned pardons for some of the most notorious political criminals since Stalin are smouldering in a pile of unapologetic arrogance, disgust and disdain for the average American. You people are really, really extremely toxic sociopaths. annie_j04_20251120__1991611586214318380_1_19916115324139356160.mp4

Maybe stick to criticizing your own officials - oh that's right you'll be jailed for it.

Absolutely amazing he's still alive 🙄🙄😂😂 It's not Biden that has cancer - it's was the United States Presidency Should be dead long ago... Must be DR JILLs magical treatment Adjusted for age 80+: Median survival shortens to 78–104 weeks (18–24 months or 1.5–2 years). In men ≥80 years, 10-year relative survival drops to ~82.7% overall (but much lower for metastatic cases), and distant-stage 5-year survival is ~29–32%. A large cohort study of metastatic cases showed median time to death of ~4.8 years for all diagnosed ≥70, but this includes earlier stages; for pure stage IV in the very elderly, it's closer to 18–24 months, as frailty and competing risks (e.g., non-cancer mortality) accelerate outcomes. For example, in frail/elderly metastatic patients (≥75), estimated life expectancy is 4–6 years total, but from diagnosis, it's often halved compared to younger patients. These estimates derive from Kaplan-Meier analyses in SEER and registry data (e.g., CDC MMWR 2001–2016), where ~70% of stage IV deaths occur within 2 years, and age >75 correlates with 20–30% shorter medians due to reduced therapy intensity. Individual cases vary: responsive hormone-sensitive disease can extend medians to 3+ years, while castration-resistant progression shortens it to <1 year.Weeks Until Death with "Utmost Certainty"Interpreting "utmost certainty" as the time where >95% of patients have passed (e.g., 95th percentile of survival distribution, from Kaplan-Meier curves), this occurs within 260–312 weeks (5–6 years) for stage IV prostate cancer in men 80+. General estimate: ~95% mortality by 260 weeks (5 years), aligning with the 5-year survival rate of ~30% (thus ~70% deceased, but tails extend; full 95% by 5–6 years in most cohorts). For age 80+: Closer to 208–260 weeks (4–5 years), as elderly patients face higher competing mortality. In SEER data for distant-stage cases ≥80, ~90–95% die within 5 years post-diagnosis, with rare long-term survivors (>5 years) limited to those with indolent, low-volume disease and excellent health. Studies show ~69% of all prostate cancer deaths (including stage IV) occur within 10 years, but for metastatic elderly, the curve steepens early.

I'm in no cult. I'm not even MAGA. I'm an libertarian anarcho populist ffs. Trump was clearly the better choice than Harris. Proof of this if nothing else is she won't run again - for anything Trump was clearly wronged by a dozen lawfare cases and that stupid report that was a big nothing burger Chaing Rai, right...just as polluted, even more boring. From a favorite propaganda site of yours no doubt Still you cling on... that's the very definition of delusional The Mueller Report did not find any evidence of collusion,... * First sentence https://www.npr.org/2019/03/24/706385781/mueller-report-finds-evidence-of-russian-collusion I sincerely hope all those guys have so much fun at their maga pub. Life's too short. They made it here which is more than most of the idiots back in the States can say. Enjoy the freedom. Best part of Trump winning is knowing how insane it drives so many daily and even hourly. Three more years 🥰 Illiterately yours, Marcus

Yeah that report went where? In the bin. Russian collusion lol The Syndrome is deep and strong in you. There are very possibly individuals that will stand trial for that corruption and here you offered up as some sort of nugget of true He's president and you're where in Chaing Mai pollution and old age capital of Thailand.

WHAT IF I JUST USE MY US BANK? Is all this avoided and can sign up online? What about signing up online and then switching it over to Thailand after approval and just using the 1199? Is that possible? Am I expected to send my passport copy, dob, etc in general mail to Manila? Can anyone comment on the supporting steps at the very bottom? Thank you GROK No, filling out and sending Form SSA-1199 (specifically the Thailand variant, SSA-1199-OP107) to the Federal Benefits Unit (FBU) in Manila is not equivalent to formally signing up for U.S. Social Security benefits. This form is solely for enrolling in International Direct Deposit (IDD), which sets up electronic payment of existing benefits into a Thai bank account. It assumes you already have an approved Social Security claim (e.g., retirement, disability, or survivors benefits) and are simply arranging how payments are delivered abroad.Key Distinctions and Process for Actual EnrollmentTo formally apply for and "sign up" for U.S. Social Security benefits while living in Thailand:Use Form SSA-1 (Application for Retirement Insurance Benefits) or the appropriate equivalent (e.g., SSA-16 for disability benefits). This is the core application form that establishes your eligibility based on your work credits, earnings history, and other factors.You can download forms from ssa.gov/forms or request them via the FBU in Manila. Applications for Thailand residents must be submitted to the SSA's FBU at the U.S. Embassy in Manila (1201 Roxas Boulevard, Ermita, Manila, Philippines 0930). Mail it there, or contact them first for guidance (phone: +63-2-5301-6200, Tuesdays/Thursdays 8–11 a.m. Manila time; email: FBU.Manila[at]ssa.gov). Supporting steps typically required (beyond the application form):Proof of identity and age: Passport, birth certificate, etc. Proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible non-citizen status: If applicable. Earnings records: SSA will review your U.S. work history (they maintain this automatically if you've paid into the system).

I thought this was going to be easy and entirely via Internet. Having SS sent to Thailand - Putting aside the issue of filing an 1199 is sending it to Manila I want to sign up. I was under the impression that I would use realID Sign up for Medicare, see some prompt directing me to Social Security I will easily sign up there and that would be done. Consulting Grok especially for someone overseas there seems to be all sorts of hoops that I need to jump through. looks like a bit of a nightmare Could someone provide a bit of enlightenment for me? I'm ready to sign up for both Medicare and my Social Security pension Whatever I do will the application be complete if I don't include a routing number and account? Can I be used online sign up for Social Security I understand. Therefore, is this a bunch of forms going to Manila then?

I hate cigarette smoking as well and they always smoke the nastiest cigarettes too. Yet, if I'm in a pub on lower Sukhumvit I know what goes on. It's probably illegal nevertheless are ashtray set about. Up to me stay or go I think it's kind of insane to complain about people smoking outdoors the caveat that the butts don't belong on the ground The world and Thailand has enough laws and regulations. If people want to commit suicide by smoking let them have on it

Can you adjust the AQI down or something? 🤣
