  1. Sadly, no she doesn't. If we had lived in the UK and she had pais contributions she would have had one in her own right. My pension is in my name only and as such it dies with me.
  2. Can I suggest that you buy a 1TB external HDD which will probably be not that much more expensive an all plenty of room for expansion in the future if you should require it. I have an ACER AIO with a 1TB internal HDD partitioned around 50/50 as C and D drives plus a 1TB external HDD as a spare plus a 4TB in use HDD as my backup drive. https://www.crucial.com/articles/about-ssd/ssd-vs-hdd https://www.pcmag.com/news/ssd-vs-hdd-whats-the-difference;
  3. https://vapoholic.co.uk/2022/02/11/where-is-vaping-banned-countries-with-strictest-e-cig-laws/ These are the countries where vaping is banned: Antigua and Barbuda Argentina Australia (unless you have a prescription) Bhutan Brazil Brunei Cambodia Colombia Ethiopia Gambia India Iran Japan (vaping non-nicotine e-liquid is legal) N. Korea Kuwait Laos Lebanon Mauritius Mexico Nepal Nicaragua Oman Palestine Panama Qatar Seychelles Singapore Sri Lanka Suriname Syria Thailand Timor-Leste Turkmenistan Uganda Uruguay Vatican City Venezuela Although the rules on vaping will differ from country to country, bans are in place in all these countries so if any of these destinations are on your itinerary then just play it safe and leave your vape products at home. ** This list of countries was correct at the time of writing, although rules changes can occur at any time. Always check the rules of your chosen destination before you travel.
  4. Out here in rural Kamphaeng Phet a 90 day report takes about 10 minutes maximum. Cost free. Marriage extension, assuming that you have 2 copies of everything needed takes about 1 1/2 hours. Cost 1,900 baht. Copy of the marriage from the amphur takes about 30 minutes. Cost 20 baht. COR costs the price of the photos. Time about 30 minutes. Immigration costs. Free. I can't comment about the vehicle as I have never done it. I can't comment about the Land Office as I have never done it. It all depends on where you live.
  5. The only time I called the Tourist police for help was at a gas station. I had a flat tyre but couldn't get one wheel nut off. They turned up about 15 minutes later along with a recovery truck who got the wheel nut off and put the spare on for me. They charged about 300 baht and the TP would not accept any money at all. We gave the TP some Som O that we had and they were happy with that.
  6. I am perfectly happy living in rural Thailand with my Thai wife and son.
  7. Costa Rica I can easily believe, But Singapore is not so easy to believe though I haven't been there for a few years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Singapore Corruption in Singapore is generally perceived as one of the lowest in the world. Cases are mostly handled by the Singapore Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), a government agency in Singapore that investigates and prosecutes corruption in the public and private sectors.[1] According to a Transparency International survey, an overwhelming majority of people in Singapore do not hear cases of corruption by public officials or institutions through media in their lifetime. In 2020, Singapore's public sector was ranked as the fourth least corrupt in the world and the most transparent in Asia. https://www.indexmundi.com/surveys/results/1 Thailand is rated at #24 Costa Rica is rated at #68 Singapore is rated at #97 The higher the rating number, the less corrupt the country is.
  8. If you are a tourist, the answer is yes. If you are Thai or an expat registered at the hospital, the vaccination is free. I had a Pfizer booster jab on 18th January 2023 and it was free to me.
  9. To me it seems to be advocating common sense, It does not say offer anything, simply be prepared just in case.
  10. There were over 13,xxx DC 3 built and around 300 still flying today, The first models came off the production line in 1935, 88 years ago. The 747 is still a baby in age. https://www.airlineratings.com/news/fabulous-video-mass-take-off-35-dc-3s/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-3
  11. And some of them are still doing it on other similar threads to this, even though the RTP have admitted that what happened is true.
  12. I did understand completely which I think was far more than you did. Go to the Bangkok Post website and s l o w l y read what the Thai police have said about it.
  13. Read about it in the Bangkok Post today. The police have now publicly admitted that they did shakedown the Taiwanese lady, that the police helmet cam recordings were erased and that the Huai Khwang police chief was sent to an inactive post. You may not accept that, or believe that, but it was from the MPB police themselves.
  14. Who claimed that she was allegedly drunk and obstreperous. Please don't tell me that it was the RTP.
  15. Unless you were there and an actual eyewitness, you have no idea if it is the truth from either side or not. If you were there at the time of the incident, have you come forward as a material witness? If you were not there and did not see what happened, then your post is meaningless. It may be your opinion, but unless you are in possession of all the facts and are the judge in this case, your words mean nothing. Still at this point it is still she said/the RTP said. The lady has posted her version on the social media and people can either believe or not. According to some posters it has changed or not. The RTP claim that they have a cctv of the incident which contradicts the lady's story but will not release it. Their story has changed a few times also. The only eyewitnesses were the other people in the taxi who do not appear to have commented, and the taxi driver whose story was given by the police.
  16. Out here in rural Kamphaeng Phet we line at 9 Moo 8 and get our mail, also that for 9/1 and 9/2, (nobody seems to know where they are) plus 9/3 and 9/5 who are out neighbours. The postman has to go past them to get to us and also for my wife's old shop 9/4 which is 2 km further down the road.
  17. And you believe the current lot are better than Thaksin, who in 2 free elections was voted into power, and then current lot couldn't even win one election without frigging the results.
  18. By a kangaroo court run by the people who made the illegal military coup against him. Hardly unbiased justice.
  19. I think that Zelensky, the entire NATO intelligence organisations plus the Russian intelligence organisation know where and where Putin is and where he goes as does Putin himself. That must be more scary to Putin than his own side.
  20. I use it every day. What do you use? Me neither.
  21. So we have to accept the word of the police? That still makes it one sided and biased,
