    Then you need the Father's house book and the Chanute as proof he owns the land the house occupies.

    You could also have the landlord speak to Immigration concerning the problem.

    I am with you on that one. If nothing else, Imm work have more than just your word about the problem and may be able to get a short extension to work out the problem.

  2. I don't know if they have it in other countries, but some banks in the US will give you a one-time virtual card, or a card that can only be used with one location. The virtual card number is linked to your physical card. The "one-time" card is useful for once-in-a-while purchases. I have a different card number to pay True and another to pay the electric bill. The bank knows where to look for the problem if the card number gets snatched. EDIT I just wanted to add that each virtual card has a different number, security code, and expiration date.

    I hope they have more than that...  Though I don't frequent bars, I've occasionally recommended dishes to customers at restaurants.

     

    I heard years ago that a guy got arrested for going behind the bar to change the CD at his wife's business. It was assumed that the business stepped on some competition's toes. Locally a guy ran a bar for years without a permit. The Police told him as long as he didn't serve Thais, they would let him do it. His place was a ways out of town. The police bought beer there:)

  4. I shot my first gun when I was 6. My father was in the Shore Patrol. He would of course hold my hands, as his Navy issue was a bit heavy. We would shoot at man targets in the basement. He showed me how to disassemble, blue, and reassemble. Had my first rifle when I was 10. At that time I could walk downtown and buy bullets for it myself (needed a note from my mother to buy cigarettes for her). I find guns as a tool. Too many people now seem to think it is some sign of manhood. I don't hunt anymore, and I don't have a fox trying to get in the hen house anymore so I no longer need one. I have a friend who sleeps with one under his pillow. I just can't go there with that kind of paranoia.

     

    Once while hitchhiking, this guy picks us up. There were three of us so I sat in the back. The handgun that he had hidden under his seat had slid back onto the floor in front of me. I never said anything and left it there. I always wonder what went through his head when he found it.

  5. To be clear. I keep the money on the Wise card in US dollars so I can get the 4.XX% interest. If I change some of the money to Baht, I lose the interest and I assume Wise at that point holds the Baht. Since I have never done it I don't know if the bank holding the dollars charges a fee when converting dollars on the card to Baht.

    Correct me if I am wrong here, but I have been told that when using a CC or debt from another country, if asked " do you want to pay in dollars or baht", always say dollars. You will get Visa/MC transfer rate. If you say baht, you will get the bank they are using's transfer rate which is usually a lot less.

    As well as the method you use to transfer the money to Wise.

     

    If you use the cheapest option, which is transfer from your bank account. it depends on your local bank.

     

    I know my local bank takes up to 48 hours, and longer during weekends, to execute a money transfer

    Maybe because I have money on the Wise card, but Wise has transferred money in seconds and my bank didn't show the transfer to Wise happening to Wise until the next day.

    Paichit, the suspect, was escorted to the crime scene, the garbage pit, to make a confession and perform a crime reenactment.


    However, the suspect reportedly denied the allegation that she murdered Benyapha. According to the investigative police report, based on evidence and testimony of the accused, it was found that the suspect gave an ambiguous statement that did not match the timeline.

    I don't think I understand what that means. She didn't say what the police told her to say?

    It’s is impossible to get hep B and Hep C from unhygienic practices. Hep C can only be transmitted from blood to blood. Hep B can be transmitted from blood to blood or sexual fluid. The only hepatitis that can be spread from unhygienic practices poo to mouth spread by not washing your after you defecate is Hepatitis A. 

    I know of a big box hardware outlet where the bathrooms are in a separate building. They have no paper or air machine to dry your hands, only a single cloth towel hanging on a hook for everyone to use. Been that way for 10 years.

  9. Locally, the guys get together every week for 4 or 5 bottles of beer each. Talk for hours about nothing and run a running joke. Meet them somewhere for a coffee, they have nothing at all to say.
