I used to be able to use the Bangkok Bank app on both my iPad and iPhone but a changed policy limits you to just one of these devices (your choice). With QR pay I think most would pick their phone. This change was confirmed to me when I got a new bank book a few weeks ago.

Why I the old government making unnecessary decisions at this point ?

I am here on Non O retirement visa and I have a 7 month rental agreement because I spend 5 months a year in USA. When I did my first extension I saw her go to her boss who looked at me and said OK and I sense the issue was the 7 month rental agreement. This was at CW- life was so much easier with OA visa and avoiding CW altogether. 

Just tell your “appointed” senators to respect the will of the people and elect Pita as PM

I highly recommend Dr. Wicharn at BNH Hospital. He operated on my back and I walked home 40 hours after the surgery.

According to THAI's own website, their fleet currently consists of 43 aircraft plus another 20 for Thai Smile, taking the total fleet size to 63. Prior to the pandemic, the airline had been operating six Airbus A380s as well as nine Boeing 747-400s. All of these large aircraft were sent into storage over the course of 2020 and it looks like they will be permanently retired. In addition, pre-pandemic, the airline also had a fleet of 15 A330-300s with an average age of 11 years with some of these being very young aircraft. Not sure what's going to happen to these aircraft but I don't think think they are operation, nor do they form of THAI's fleet on the website. So it looks like THAI's pre-pandemic fleet has decreased by a total of 30 aircraft.

On their website they would list only the active fleet. I know all of the 747’s were sold already but I think they still have a few A-340’s which are hard to sell because they have 4 engines. I think they planned to return some A-380’s to the lessor. 

What is a 12 year old doing out at 3 AM ?

I hope this expansion includes a third runway which should have been built years ago.

I spend half of the year in USA and other half in Thailand. I asked Netflix how to handle this and they told me I need to cancel service in USA and get new service when I come to Thailand. I believe I can still keep preferences and history. As expected service in Thailand is less expensive.

Looking ahead to when this conflict ends I think that the major donors to pay for rebuilding should be other Western  countries (unless there is a way to get Russia to pay) since the USA has already financed most of the Ukrainian defense with borrowed money contributing to huge deficit at home.

Biden is a feeble old man, getting worse by the day. He will be lucky to be able to finish his first term. He is a puppet controlled by others who have some radical policies. Shame on his wife for even letting him run the first time. There is a very good reason he never has press conferences. Also I think the Hunter Biden laptop scandal could bring him down as the Congressional committee has so far found that 12 Bidens have received overseas money and you can be sure a good amount went to Old Joe. 

It was really stupid not to designate Silom Rd as a water throwing area. 

It was announced that they are not closing Silom Rd for water throwing this year. It was suggested that people use sidewalks and side streets instead which is totally inadequate- some smaller sois are even closed for water. I predict that there will be so many people they will just spill over into the main road anyway. 

The Jomtien bus service to the airport is so convenient and very cheap. You should really check it out.

At BNH I highly recommend Dr. Wicharn who operated on my back. I also recommend a chiropractor “Spine Balance” on Ratchadamri Road…a 10 min walk from BTS

Will be interesting to see how many of these Russians go on overstay although the government will probably not say too much. 

I was riding through South Pattaya on Second Road the other night and I counted 9 Indian restaurants within a fairly small area. Surely these places are not run and staffed by Thai people.

I have a Filipino teacher friend in Rayong. His school was slow putting documents together so he had to make a border run to Savanakhet a few weeks ago to get visa exempt entry. Now the documents are complete but he is hoping there is a way to get his Non B visa in Thailand to avoid another long van trip to Savannaket with overnight stay. Is this possible ? 

They had better buy 2 subs at the same time so they will have a rescue sub available when the other one gets into trouble down below.

Have used Dr. Smile in Silom since 2008. Excellent dentist, very gentle and good price. I see Dr. Suchart there.
