KK got it right, busy stall = fast turnover. Check out Mark Wiens on YT, pretty good.

KKong has it right, busy stall = high turnover. I have eaten primarily street food for a couple 7 month visits. Be careful of seafood but overall it's fine. I like those whole chickens rotisserie for 150/175 baht. Also shop house restaurants can be very good, a great one on soi 14 Naklua.

I read a great book by an older Farang in Thailand author, cannot remember right now the name. It was about a Farang travel writer (I think) who got to be friends with 2 gunmen in BKK. I'll try to find it.

It's possible too that you can bid your own price on priceline.com or hotwire.com. Not sure if they work outside the U.S. No harm in trying if they do. I think it works for flights in addition to rooms. Check out better*bidding.c0m also. Worth a try.

I have done two times, get the 30 day arrival extension, then go to Lao (Cambo does not do double any longer I've been told), get a double, enter back using 1st enter for 60 days, go to Jombtien or other immigration and extend 30 days for 1900 baht, then visa run to Cambo or Loa for 2nd entry giving 60 days, then extend again for 30 days for 1900 baht = 7 months total.

I probably should search this up but, how does one get a triple entry? My last two long term stays, I got a double in Cambo (when they still did it in 2010) and a double in Lao in 2012. Do you have to get it in your home country? Thanks all on TV.

For the platform itself, you can consider Apache Web Server running on Linux. Maybe you already knew that. As for the an actual e commerce application I'm not sure.

Darn, I'm in the States and my Moto G is still on 4.2.2. Great phone though, Google still gives Lenova (Owner of Motorola now) first updates.

I was on an elevator in Vegas and there was a younger couple. I saw them looking at the elevator regulation sign. I joked that it probably cost us $ 10,000 tax dollars a year. We laughed and I said heck I don't even know if you're American. They laughed and said no, we're British. I asked them how they like the Americans, and right away the gal said friendly!

If you have an account in TH, they will cash it. The catch is it likely will take about a month based on my experience.

I've met around 100 Thai girls, in person, in Thailand. I mean dated or whatever. The notion that I would spend time online to meet a TG is silly. It's hard enough to tell the forest from the trees when you meet them in person on your own. To all the guys out there, don't meet TG online! If you don't have enough time and/or money to spend a year or two in TH, then just take holidays and don't fall in love!!!

TG, you must download the credit card consent form, sign and scan it to them with a copy of the card and the some ID. We did this in March, they still did have some kind of hold up (probably lost it as mentioned by the courier guy) and we cleared it up over the phone, I think they just happened to find it while we were on the phone (the TG agent on my gf phone to me on my cell).

You got that right H90, it's the legal/correction system that won't let it go. Even in the States, founded by Puritans, we would probably not mind much. The tide is turning slowly but there is so much easy payoff money to the Pols it makes it hard. People would probably never believe what goes on if they could see what goes on, in my view.

I have BoA, been thinking of switching to Schwab which I've heard here is good. I did not know about USSA's deal, sounds good. With BoA I don't think there is any limit, I've sent over 2K to my Kasi account. With BoA, you want to send in USD, it cost an extra $ 10, $ 45 instead of $ 35 but BoA exchange rate is bad so better to send in USD and take the Kasi exchange rate which is better.

I am curious about this also. I have heard that the On Nut area has some in the 15-18K range, from reading here on TV. Phaya Thai is a upscale area it seems because of the proximity. I took a 2 hour walk from the Asia Hotel a few years ago, looks like any other neighborhood. Saphan Kwai I cannot remember where it is. Anyway I'll be watching this one to see what folks are saying.

Darn, can't see the video, only audio. I saw one recently I think it was in Sri Lanka. I'm certainly no angel but this gets to me. I hope they take some vigilante justice to these creeps.

I've stretched it to 7 months 2 times, 30 visa exemption, then to Lao (Cambo does not do doubles any more I'm told) for the double, 60 days later 1900 baht for a 30 day extension, then to Cambo, step across and back for 60 more,then another 1900 baht for the last 30 days. I did get a double in Cambo in 2010 but as I said last time on 2012 I had to go to Lao. Tip, take the night train out of BKK for I think about $ 40 for a decent sleeper. About 14 hours I think but you can actually get 6 - 8 hours sleep.

I know a good guy who had quite alot of stuff in TH, a couple houses I think, lots of bikes and things. He has gone back I think 2 times (around age 60) before his SS kicked in at 62. Second time was Walmart! Now he's back and comfortable. She stayed in TH the whole time.

I've been over there more than 10 times. Every time I had a great time and two of the trips were more than 6 months. Why bat down these guys all the time? It beats the heck out of most places and I've been to quite a few. Getting anything done is not easy any time and when any Govt. is involved it just makes it harder and far more prone to fail. I trust they're doing what they can.

I have a question. My GF is Thai of course. If I take a job in Germany, how likely is it that I can get her into Germany. I am American. I checked out some info on the Schengen visa before but I still don't know. I have not found anything too clear on an American in Germany. TV is the greatest, thanks - Sunn

One of my guys, Larry Edelson, says the floor should be around 1050 very lowest and maybe around 1150. He says hold off on the juniors until the rise commences. He has a pretty good record. It's darn confusing to me. You can look him up and get most of his opinions free. Saved me pretty big, I lost alot in the big drop a couple months ago but stayed out since then saving me quite a bit. I think yesterdays bump was a dead cat bounce. Any big drop below 1100 I'm gonna come back in.

It's nearly always Muslim combat age (11-39) men. Don't fall for the religious bent they proclaim. It's all about money in the end. Raping male children is just another thing they like to do. It's real, don't fall for the Ali Akbar baloney. Look at any city in Europe. I had coffee with a German in Frankfurt, he said the Germans would do anything to get them out of there.

Of course drink as much water as you can. For me, cola soda is bad. Fat foods and especially bad foods like hot dogs can trigger for me too. There is a rumored cure, never done it, something about taking olive oil and lemon. A lot about this on the Net.
