Former CDC Director Predicts Imminent Bird Flu Pandemic
bunnydrops replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The fear of the bird flu infecting humans has been going on for some time. I don't normally get flu shots, mostly out of just not being bothered to do so, but I remember my last one in 2006. I had planned to come to Thailand that year and the US advised those who did to get flu shots. They were concerned that if you got the flu while in Thailand and you also got exposed to the bird flu virus, the virus could interact with each other and produce a new strain -

Engaging with Russians during wartime in Thailand?
bunnydrops replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
So far I have spoken to only one. Young guy. I was sitting at that corner place down from Buddy's on Khao San having a beer while waiting for my flight out. Nice guy, tattooed, Mohawk. I, being an older American, I don't think either of us wanted to bring up the subject of the war. -
Out where I live in Thailand the police don't bother you, no matter what you use. But I thought that legally if it had a motor, it had to be licensed unless it was pedal assist. I am in the States at the moment and the variety of pedal-assist bikes is mind-blowing and most come from China. https://www.amazon.com/Viribus-Electric-Tricycle-Battery-Bicycle/dp/B0C2GZ1ZJX?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=AYIABTGNRAN3E&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Adult+Electric+Bicycles&i=sports-and-fitness&rh=n%3A3405141%2Cp_36%3A17784044011&page=3&c=ts&qid=1718814825&rnid=17784038011&ts_id=3405141&ref=sr_pg_3

I've fallen into Grab (food) "customer service" hell!

I don't know how you updated the app, but I had a similar problem with another app that updating didn't work. What did work was deleting the stored data. You will have to reenter your username and password. -

I must have one of the most secure cc in the world. They send me a notification within 10 min of any use of the card and the amount. They give a different virtual cc number for each online store and utility bill collector that can't be used by any of the others. Of course, it doesn't stop getting skimmed in a crowded place, there are special wallets for that, or if you wear an aluminum hat, you could put it in there😉. Also on top of that, I black out the security number so it can't be read by eye or photocopied. You still have to look out for the skimmers that look like rain coverers they put on the ATMs.

Passport renewal question
bunnydrops replied to bunnydrops's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I was hoping that would be the case. Its a lot easier for me to get it here. They can do it at the local PO -
I lived in a tent on the college grounds while going to school for a couple of quarters. They did catch me finally and the dean of the school said he would let me stay, but that the board of directors got wind of it and had to move back into my Volkswagon bus. I rode the rails for short hops in the NW. I knew of one person that died on a long haul. The guy he was traveling with thinks he got up to take a piss and fell off. When his friend woke in the morning he was gone. They didn't find his body for two months.

I am now Stateside with a passport with a reentry stamp. My passport needs to be renewed about 2 months after I return, but I would like to renew it before I return to Thailand. Will immigration accept the stamp in a canceled passport if you also have the renewed passport with you?

Baht’s the password? Thai gran’s costly slip leads to 105k bank loss
bunnydrops replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Same story local. House was broken into, found CCs with the password written on the backs----money gone. I think in the States every transaction is filmed and recorded by transaction so they would have a photo of the person that does it. Doubt they do that here. EDIT I missed they had photo -

30,000 Baht Lost Due to Incomplete ATM Deposit in Bangkok
bunnydrops replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I am not sure how this machine works, but It should return the money before he gets his card back and if there is money still in the machine, it should have locked access to it until the original card is reinserted. If the machine returned his money before he got his card back, how did he miss it. -

Gone totally deaf in my ‘good’ ear…….?

Hang in there! As they say "Getting old isn't for the timid!". Good luck with the tests. -
Reminds me of when my wife and I went shopping for a bed side lamp at one of the big box stores. We found one we liked and call over a staff member who told us " That one is not for sale, it is only for show."

Crime In Thailand Versus Crime In Your Home Country
bunnydrops replied to Brewster67's topic in General Topics
12 years here, nothing except a neighbor stealing limes. In the US (NW) nothing since around 1970. I spend 6 months a year in both the US and Thailand. In the US, I don't lock my house ever. Don't know where the key is. In Thailand, my wife and her family think there is a thief around every corner and everything is locked up. -
Wise problems

I wouldn't be surprised at all if all this had something to do with the new tax law. More bookkeeping on the Thai side
