  1. My truck is due a new set of tyres and I've heard good reports about Maxxis. I don't go offroad so I don't want anything too 'chunky', just a good 'all round' road tyre 255 60 18 Can anyone reccommend a Maxxis? Or any other brand. My budget is 20,000 baht. Thanks.
  2. Quick update. I tried the 7 x 9 teabag. There's more room for the leaves to brew, resulting in a stronger flavour.
  3. Empty teabags, with a drawstring. Put 2 tsp of loose tea inside the bag and pull the drawstring = 1 teabag. I found them on Lazada, 19 baht for 100. Better than Tetley or Typhoo? About the same colour, with a slightly different taste. I've found it very drinkable
  4. I ordered some Tata Gold on Lemonjelly's reccommendation. It was around 170 baht for 500gms on lazada. I also got some (Empty) tea bags. No need for a teapot. The tea's delicious.
  5. But it would give him time to brush-up on his spelling 555.
  6. Watch the video...........100% BS
  7. What a POS. Beats up a man 45yrs older than him, and half his size. His family must be so proud.
  8. Thanks digbeth. At 67, I've missed that boat too 😁
  9. Hi Sheryl. Thanks for your reply. Around 12 years ago I started working for a large well known teaching agency in Bangkok. I had a work permit and paid tax on my salary. Unknown to me, the agency didn't register me for Thai SS. I knew nothing about the Thai SS scheme at the time. I was 59 by the time I found out about it. My wife made enquiries at the government office (Cheang Wattana). They said, at 59, I was to old to enter the SS scheme. Now 67, I'm still working. I now work for a very large private company. Still paying tax on my salary. I have heard that I could still be eligible for the Universal Coverage Scheme. As I understand it, I don't need to be part of the SS scheme to get these health benefits (No matter how small), I would just have a small amount of money deducted from my salary every month.
  10. Hi. I've lived and worked in Thailand for the past 20 years. I have a WP, pay tax, have a yellow TB and pink ID card. I also have health insurance provided by my employer. I don't (Because of my age) have Thai Social Security. I've recently heard that as a foreigner, I can pay a small sum every year, enabling me to get some kind of basic Thai healthcare. Is this true? If so, where should I apply?
  11. You can put lipstick on a pig..........But it's still a pig.
  12. I'd love to know who the 'Concerned Citizen' was. What was she 'Concerned' about? It's okay. I think I can guess.
  13. Yes....Drive through with care . Anticipating anyone who might want to cross the road.
  14. Best line of the series: Roman guard outside amphitheatre; Oi!!!! You can't leave your horse there.
  15. No, nothing to do with online reporting. I needed to show a TM30 to get my Non IMM 'O' visa extension.
  16. Yeah....I was surprised too. It says on the info board at counter 'B' that it's a 2000baht fine. I'm not sure how they calculated 800baht
  17. This appears to be the problem. I live with my wife, in Bangkok. I do my 90 day reports and yearly extension in Bangkok. However, I work in Pathum Thani and my work permit is issued in Pathum Thani. They don't want me to use my salary as proof of finance.
  18. Any recommendations in Bangkok?
