  1. You've obviously never emailed an embassy/ consulate
  2. I lined him Read each message
  3. Vietnamese will out work Thais 2:1. I used to say Vietnam would catch Thailand in 15 years. Given the Thai economy in death throes it may be ten. They're smart af as well. While there's always be tension with Cambodia it's wide open for Vietnamese growth and investment. Thailand... nope It's just not the twenty year recession it's that there's no real plan to crank up the economy and the elite so flush with cash are indifferent, so they're not driving anything. Something to consider. We are at the precipice of some serious stagnation. That is with tourism representing 10-13% GDP as cited. What happens when that easily shrinks 5-7% and it could happen... overnight. Weak economies, change, instability can also certainly play into disposable incomes for trips abroad...a luxury
  4. @recom273 I messaged a few times Nothing. Translated to Thai. Nothing. No big deal. It's old. Thanks
  5. Actually, you are very correct. The only active forums are visas, weed and the political <deleted> posting forum. It's probably the latter that actually holds up the forum these days financially.
  6. Because I may not want to do it. Perfect example: I just learned that I need to open up a new account and that probably is not worth the hassle for me making a special trip to inquire. Next time I'm in I might gauge the hassle factor. I don't visit the large branch often perhaps quarterly at best. I just do monthly pull
  7. It's the spending... No idea what's in store for USA, but running to Euro lol... Euro/pe is finished
  8. This moron He's finally correct on gold. Only took 30 years
  9. Hey My seven year old phone took a dump and lost all my bookmarks What is the type/name (BBL) of fixed deposit I can absolutely use for my marriage extension please? I have plenty of time to move the money to re-season if need be Is it linked to my passbook? Essentially a note, stamp, entry ...? Many thanks 🙏
  10. No idea what this means. Maybe too much french wine or bogan david perhaps
  11. Good. Probably the most disagreeable people of all Western nations. The wine is a poor value and the food highly overrated. The country appears to know be overrun with miscreants to which I state - som num na US cannot buy French products...boo hoo
  12. I'm too tired to comment properly. Suffice to say Thailand can do nothing to turn this around. The issue is now quite complicated. Thailand and it's industry should imo prepare for 50% collapse on its highest numbers. Thai Examiner has an article worth looking at stating Jan numbers off by nearly 20%. One can only imagine what August numbers will be like. Forgotten in this mix is the loyal expat often with spouse and possibly kids, older tourists that would rather not relocate their second homes to other warm climes. We've been treated pretty poorly these last decades and dare I say ignored and neglected. Certainly taken for granted. The baht has been absurdly high for 20 years. Thailand's roads are unsafe. Thai immigration is arbitrary setting clear rules for tourism would help. Easing retiree and marriage extension, banking hassles would go far to rebuild a broken relationship
  13. Good. Everyone should buy their home country first choice if it fits. Quality, cost, value. Oz wines are not especially high end, but great value. Can easily avoid US wines. Canada...at the precipice and continuing to damage the relationship daily. Carney is a carny
  14. Thanks I just messaged him Looking at repair videos before I recall the ribbon being very tricky part of the RnR
  15. Putting aside the explosion in OF adult material whuch is 1000% the womans individual choice lol ...I guess you missed the part that they are the stars and centerpieces of the entire industry and often direct as well. The JAV industry is 4-5x larger than even the US Personally, I don't think it's healthy for viewing and I'm certain the short lived lifestyle of a porn queen equally problematic But you posting such moralizing things on this forum in particular is, well ... quite funny.
  16. Central Bangkok Thanks for that. I don't have anything related to repairing electronics. At 65 my sight not great nor my patience. I know I'd screw it up. Would the businesses you mentioned have websites?
  17. https://www.amazon.com/Tello-Mobile-Bring-Your-Phone/dp/B08H5SM9M9?crid=3UDI7QD4Q8K4N&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.axGhfAltbWYYtket8Mlr6r5mUdzYN7M6OV0LuZvCDP4uVZ7mAFHdIdss0Y8RermglDK9PziWc_EHlSETHQjUZxP8ZkGwP75Wd3ZmVI0NvIQGpJiBYQ91tW9k4v3H9xEqVOyiay0LaD6kj5JOi8uLWAXbxxGz5DsgHKrrgtldrtxtJDgO1bAEU9G7nKTf6ZHzVa9kcYV_YUNuQxn_-OW-WA.JmCdx5XS8_sCIOSfdZGpx3NFGi6oL0exyyEz9K-RaIY&dib_tag=se&keywords=tello+sim+card&qid=1768817546&sprefix=tello+%2Caps%2C666&sr=8-1 I'm going to buy this when I'm back. Run it off my old phone
  18. Well, I googled it for you or used AI. Actually this is correct the right side is the better side although it is recommended that both sides may used I'm incorrect. Using left side certainly isn't damaging or wholly incorrect but it appears that the right side is the more correct side
  19. I've also had nurses in hospital place the cuff on my right arm.
  20. Depends on what your blood pressure is when you wake up ( resting), after exercise, generally in the day. Don't disregard if it's consistently high or borderline. Lower is always better. It's amazing what exercise and other minor changes can do for 50+ blood pressure
  21. Well, 5 up or down could be significant. I honestly completely ignore the blood pressure reading in the hospital. On the rare occasion I need to go to hospital or clinic to get lab tests I always take my BP before. 1 I've been in transit to the hospital for an hour and probably walked a minimum of a kilometer often in heat 2 they often don't let me rest for 10 minutes at least they just jump right at the reading 3 I have a bit of high blood pressure well controlled by simple medication. Sometimes the reading is high but nevertheless they always tell me it's "normal". Therefore I understand they don't know what normal actually is lol. My BP is considerably better and more consistent as I've taken up regular exercise in the last year... Not that I was unfit prior
  22. First, sorry and thank you. I can't say I've looked in quite a while but when I did I couldn't for the life of me find out how to change the password. I've got the crazy password that is absolutely uncrackable issue to me by immigration initially. I'd like to change it to something more sane. I don't need a point by point. Not looking waste your time but if you could tell me whereabouts I could find it that would be stellar.
  23. Interested. I'd seen the company pop up when researching this. Perhaps I bypassed looking more closely at it because it was maybe $30 a month? Is it entirely prepaid as you've stated? Of course there's a nominal setup thing I'm certain I was just checking ultramobile. 3$ month.
  24. I welcome changing password, but the notion of doing this improves security debunked long ago. May lower individual security and also lead to people forgetting passwords. Stupid.
  25. Did mine late November 90 days on marriage extension
