Daryl purchased and gifted the van to the Foundation as a pure act of kindness in the memory of his deceased wife. A decent man just doing something nice for others.

I like NyQuil which is an over the counter cold and flu medicine with some sleep aid medicine while DayQuil does not contain the sleep element. I take the liquid version at home but it will be too large for security at airports so the capsules would be better. As a decongestant it clears sinuses which can help if you have issues with equalising ear pressure on flights. While it helps you go to sleep it is not so strong that you would sleep through emergencies. On a long flight you might take twice as it has six hour intervals between medications.

Biggest risk is being stopped at a checkpoint and not having registration/tax up to date. Fine and possible confiscation until fines paid. I like to stay legal in all things here as when caught violating a rule/law you are at the mercy of the police at that time. Not the same as for Thais. As noted by others go to one of the inspection shops (Yellow gear shapped image) and they will do inspection as over five years old and handle paperwork with DLT. Just need Green Book. I had registration expire while gone for covid and when I returned I took bike to have inspected and registration paid. They charged for the duration of the expired term and it went to the usual expiry date, not a year from the date I did the renewal. Luckily I noticed one day and then had to do another renewal. If your official expiry date is slightly in the future it may be worth waiting until near that date to have all extended for another year so as not to do again in a short period of time.

As stated by others you must go through probabe to appoint an executor of the estate who has the legal right to dispose of assets of the decedant. If there is a will this should be followed by the executor. Applies to physical assets, bank accounts, personal items, etc. In the absence of a will I am not sure how the executor identifies beneficiaries.

This brand makes a variety of coffee styles and I drink the Espresso and the Caramel Macchiato ones. It takes two packets for a larger style mug. While this brand is available most stores, the Caramel Macchiato is not available in many stores although Big C usually has it available.

I ate there many times as a nice store with many seats comapred to the small shop on Pattaya Tai by Tukcom. Never seemed crowded but lots of Grab drivers picking up orders. They also had a drive thru window. I preferred Texas Chicken to KFC as not nearly as greasy and they offered a lot of combos along with rice bowls and wraps. Sorry to see them leaving Thailand.

No reason to wait until 20 days before the visa exempt entry expires. Just go shortly after arrival and start the process to ensure there is plenty of time in case there is an issue with anything. Also when you get the Non-O they can do the extension based on retirement immediately after. This is the typical process at Jomtien immigration. Note the retirement extension is timed to start at the end of the Non-O 90 day expiration even though all done as part of the same filing process. It is beneficial to have the all these visas approved as it supports the Residency Certificate which is necessary for drivers licenses, buying car or motorbike, etc. Again, no need to wait as the earlier the better in processing the visa changes.

I use Kasikorn and this is the same as my account. Of course you can take whatever you want inside the bank in person. If someone is using a foreign ATM card at a local bank the rules will probably be different. Also local use with Kasikorn is free but when traveling around in Thailand there are fees when using branches outside your main location.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 216 seconds  

As noted by others new passport details need to be informed to bank and phone provider and also on your car/motorbike licenses.

Office romances are not necessarily an issue but romance relationships between a boss and subordinate is a very slippery slope. The MeToo movement was built on such things although usually with the boss being male rather than female but both situations occur. Using taxpayer funds to hire a romantic interest adds another dimension to the situation. It was a poor decision under the circumstances and could have easily been avoided.

Given the time and effort to visit immigration for documents I would suggest getting two to be safe rather than being told you need two later and having to repeat the process all over again. I recall the certificate of residency is only good for a certain period of time (maybe 30 days) so do't get too far ahead of your planned transaction. My issue may have been related to getting a drivers license and the time elapsed between my first visit there and then returning on the day of the appointment.

Worth checking a few stores as someone usually has a sale on. Makro on Sukhumvit in Jomtien also tends to be competitive whenever I looked for electrical goods.

I may have been described more as cloudy or a film but although not really noticeable to me it was cleared or cleaned with a laser. No issue whatsoever. Glad they have an easy solution if necessary as it only takes a few minutes in their office environment. Not sure why it may happen but so far only one eye needed the procedure.

My surgery was done under anethesia but a little presence of mind as I had to respond to some instructions during surgery. One eye followed by the other at a later date. I had an eye patch until the next morning to avoid any scratching during the night while sleeping. Also a follow up visit the next day to inspect the surgery and status. How painful can it be? No pain whatsoever. What are the best practices in choosing an intra ocular lens? I had distance vision. Readers are widely available and only use for computer and closer. Can read most things six feet away and further. Still have eye exams with good results. Is this a once in a lifetime operation (under normal conditions)? You can have lens yellowing or discolorization. They did a lens "cleaning" in their office by laser with no anethesia which took about 15 minutes. No issues and was walk in and out. Recovery time (under normal conditions)? Essentially immediate. I recall there were some restrictions about bending over with head below waist, no lifting heavy things, etc. for a little while. Nothing really that restrictive. After full recovery, what precautions are necessary - eg is swimming OK Pool or sea? None. Any other... They gave me antibiotic eye drops to use for 30 days and another one to use for a week. Worth adhering to the prescription as not worth any risk when it comes to your eyes. Glad I had the surgery. The first thing you notice is how bright everything is compared to the old eyesight. You should feel comfortable with the person doing the surgery and their professionalism.
