I agree with a few posters saying that Coors is piss beer..... but so are most of the major USA beers until you start talking about some of the awesome USA microbrews..... I recall back in the 70s when Coors wasn't sold anywhere east of the Mississippi I went with my father and a few of his friends on a deer hunting trip to Colorado. I recall dad and his friends bought as much Coors as they could fit in the van before we headed back home to Ohio...... Needless to say dad and his friends made a killing selling the beer for 3 to 5 times what they paid for it..... Folks bought it all up quickly and was asking for more...... It was nothing but a 'fad' (in my opinion). Now if I wanted a nostalgic beer from my past I would have to request some Little Kings Cream Ale.

Elderly woman killed at zebra crossing in Pathum Thani
dingdongrb replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Zebra crossings are a joke.... I slow down when I see them and I stop when I see people waiting at them to cross. They seem shocked to see that I have stopped. I'm sacred that some day I'll get rear-ended being stopped at one. I have had many cases where I stop and the people start to cross when traffic in the opposite direction of me doesn't stop or even acknowledge folks are in the crosswalk. I flash my lights, honk my horn, and at times, roll down my window yelling out 'zebra crossing'. Never think you are safe as a pedestrian walking in a zebra crossing. I have had to avoid vehicles many times while walking in a zebra crossing. These days I enter the zebra crossing while waving my arms and yelling out 'zebra'..... -
To all you Thai speakers out there!

.....so are many others throughout the world, nothing specific to Thais. Speaking of nasty, I was at immigration the other day to renew my extension. There was only 8 of us in the office and three officers behind the counter. I turned in my prepared paperwork and was told to have a seat. My Thai friend and I took a seat in the seating area where there was already 6 others seated, four Thais and 2 foreign men in there late 20s (or early 30s). All 6 were wearing jackets or shirts that identified the school they were employed with. Now for the nasty....... just prior to taking a seat my Thai friend looked at me with a crunched up nose. At nearly the same exact time I got a very nasty whiff of some pungent body odor. I was about to gag when one of the foreign men was called up to the counter. As soon as he left the seating area the smell subsided so he was obviously the culprit. Luckily he completed his process and he informed his colleagues which they all got up and left. I'm not sure but he sounded like he had a French or perhaps German accent. I've ridden on numerous baht buses and I've been in some tight confined areas full of Thais and I've never ever experienced a Thai having a fraction of the body odor that farang had. NOTE: Sadly I cannot say the same for some Thais' breath.... -

BBL bank photo copies of Visa page.
dingdongrb replied to arick's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I never understood why a passport is required for a withdrawal but not for a deposit. I've tried making a withdrawal at my home BBK branch using just my valid Thai DL and bank book.....no chance......need passport. -
Wow, you seem to have a lot of free time to provide such a long winded post. I know the exact limitations to the tracking process....been mailing too much chit over the years. Did you happen to read this part of my post: "What concerns me is there's no indication that they actually received and processed it." With my past mailing experiences and experiments here in LOS my biggest concern is ThaiPost actually getting it out of Thailand within a decent period of time, or at all, thus the reason I use the ThaiPost Tracking,,,,, Besides 330 THB won't take away a meal (or beer) from my mouth, I tip more than that in any given week. NOTE: I sent the letter from a pretty decent sized city in the Northern part of the country and according to the tracking info it took almost 1 week exactly just to get to, and leave Suvarnabhumi. My experience has taught me that sending mail out of Thailand at the ThaiPost in Suvarnabhumi is the best assurance it will get to the US destination.

They provided me a 'self addressed' envelope with the form and instructions sent. I returned it using ThaiPost and paid for it being tracked mail. It costs me 330THB. What concerns me is there's no indication that they actually received and processed it. I think I'll be contacting Manilla FBU or call the SSA in the USA to confirm all is kosher..... I'd hate to have my pension stop occurring.

I received my 7162 just yesterday (June 18th) in my Thai post. The letter is dated June 6th. So that means it took almost 2 weeks to get here. I filled out the form, signed, and then sent today via tracked post. (Cost was 335 THB). The address listed on the addressed return envelope as well as the received instruction was: Social Security Administration P.O. Box 7162 Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania 18767-7162 USA

German Tourist's Fatal Fall at Pattaya Hotel Shocks Visitors

How about some helmet laws? Or no phones while driving? Or driving down the road in the correct direction while using lights at night time? Laws work very well in Thailand..... 🙂 -
