  1. I think it is just to fill the line on the form meant for Thai national. Father Tarsan, Mother Jane. They have no idea who your parents are.
  2. It may not be his fault. I had a friend get hired to work in a foreign country. He worked there for over a year before he was hauled in. The company forgot to get him a work permit. The company did bail him out though.
  3. They seem to be getting known the world around https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/young-male-british-tourists-amsterdam-intl-scli/index.html
  4. Interesting, Singha is the only one my wife doesn't like either. I don't notice much difference in the others, so I guess when I buy, I buy the cheapest, unsually 7/11. The best tasting I have found, very expensive here in Thailand, Fuji
  5. Stored rain water
  6. I forgot I went there. Same year I was at Little America with its 55 gas pumps and Emperor the Penguin. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/8448
  7. Reminds me of an old Doonsbury comic. A guy makes a pass at a younger girl at a bus stop, she turns to him and says " You must be over 50! Why don't you hit on someone your own age". He thinks on it a bit and sees this older woman. He walks over to hit on her, she turns and says "You must make under 50!"
  8. One local has been separated, but still legally married, from his wife for years. She is even village married to another man. Once a year he comes and get photos of himself at her house and she goes to immigration with him to get his extension. He dreads they ever do a house visit because neither the village head, nor any of the neighbors would lie and say he lives there.
  9. The only other one I can see, though rarely used, is you can get a work permit.
  10. They have never asked for money, but wife will give them about a 100 each when they are leaving. The same we do will anyone that comes to work at the house. I'm sure they don't need it, and they sure as hell are not getting rich from it. Its a 3 hour drive out here and back.
  11. Funny, They printed out a Google map and told me to make copies of it to use next time????
  12. They really want to be able to read the numbers. No need for bed sitting photos anymore. I believe last time at Korat, only four, two to a page, one outside with house number, 3 inside. I didn't even have one inside the bedroom. Kitchen, living room, and my wife's sewing corner. They let me by but was told to leave more room under the photos for sigature next time.
  13. I was told once by a AC guy that if anything it is better to be a little undersized. He said that being over sized, the room will get cooler to quick for the dehumidifier to do its job and the air will feel clammy.
  14. There is also the chance she won't want it after the crash.
  15. I won't say that I don't find it annoying to get behind a slow driver in the right lane, but I don't blow a gasket every time it happens. In a 100 mile trip, how many would that be? Maybe 20. This is Thailand. I'm not going to a fire, my wife is not giving birth, and I emptied my bladder at the last service station. I can wait for a chance to get around them. I have had one road rage against me. Coming out of Gobel House with a load in an older pickup. I pulled out into the slow lane, and turned on my signal to change lanes to get to the raised U-turn. A car, back about a 100 meters or more in that lane, driving fast, started flashing his lights. My choice, stay in my lane and miss the U-turn, or move over. I moved over. He came right up on my tail and started revving up his engine. When we got to the curve at the top of the ramp, he must have popped the clutch at the height of his rev, He spun out, did a 180. As I watched in the rear view, he straighten himself out and came roaring down the ramp. I thought to myself "here we go!". But when he got to the bottom, he pulled over to the side and stopped.
  16. And what if they are the same?
  17. I wish I could give you a better answer. I found it several years ago while wandering around waiting for my flight and it was still there last time I was there and I saw it mentioned in a write up about SeaTac. You can't see it from the walkway, its around a bulkhead, no sign, just a table, coffee pump pot, Half/half pump, paper cups and stirrers. It has been a year and a half since I was there last. I live in Oregon and my last flights have been routed though SF.
  18. I can't say what they do in Thailand but in the States, the coffee is throw out after 30 minutes. There is even a red light that comes on the container that can be seen by the customers. In the Seattle airport Starbucks put up a table in the outbound waiting room where they put the coffee for another 30 minutes that you could have for free.
  19. I haven't been to too many SB in Thailand. I find they are a bit expensive here. In the States I have a Gold card. In my town in Oregon they are the least expensive coffee shop, and with the Gold card, you get a free refill that makes it super cheap. But I have to admit they have gone down hill. They used to have two coffee choices, their Pikes Place and a revolving choice (Kenyan, Honduran, etc.). Now just Pikes Place. They did away with the French press a year or so ago. Here I go to Amazon, their special Coffee Amazon will take the paint off you car.
  20. First of all, who said she was going to say anything? Trump just throwing his money around to try and cover his a$$.
  21. From the US, I have been always asked!
  22. I believe they are required to use the meter. I make a point of taking a photo of the taxi and the drivers ID. I also make a point of them seeing me do it. The long way around is common trick to tourist. A friend of mine was pretty sure it happened to him as he crossed the river two times to get to the Khaosan rd area from the airport.
  23. Depends a lot on how many bags you have. If just one than the train will save you some money. Although, I have never had a problem, be sure they turn on the meters. You pay 50 baht more than the meter at your destination. I know two people that had problems with taxis from the airport this year.
  24. I'm kind with the "Man bit by dog attacked by local hospital". I had my hand nearly removed by a dog a couple of years back. I don't think I put out much more than a 1000 baht. That included the shots and the returns to have it cleaned and redressed.
  25. Yes it could have been planned/done better, but it isn't that bad. We only have one picture. Would really need to see it at different angles. The back plate can be easily changed to something different. It is too small for the large letters.
