Receiving money with Wise
billd766 replied to STD Warehouse's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
You don't need to do anything other that provide your bank details. The sender should transfer the funds through THEIR Wise account in Thai baht to your nominated account. If this becomes a regular occurance, them you might think about opening a Wise account in your own name. But for a one off payment it is their problem. -
Whilst I agree with you, you have to look at who was running Brexit negotiators. It was Teresa May who was the PM at that time and she was pro EU and who had every reason to want Brexit to fail. The negotiators had to keep to the script prepared for them. IMHO she did the best she could to achieve that and was kicked out for her efforts. She may even have told Barnier that was her plan but I, like most people were not informed as to what was going on.

I am a little confused. Boardwalk City is a non-fiction book about Atlantic City in the 1920s written by Nelson C. Johnson (born 1948) who wasn't even born until 20 to 25 years after the events. It was then re-written as a TV series by a number of different writers as an American period crime drama television series some 80 or 90 years after the events. I finally found a reference to Joseph P Kennedy, played by Matt Letscher here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0979432/fullcredits along with all the writers, and there are a lot of them. It seems to be Genre Crime drama Period drama Serial drama And loosely based on real life happenings 90 years ago. As I have never even heard of the series until now and have never seen an episode I can't pass comment on what the character spoke about or was all about. However I will take it with a sack full of salt and say that if you believe it then good for you. Personally I don't without any proof.

And how do YOU know this particular nugget of information?

Worst Joke Ever 2025

I think that Tacobell may need some more and bigger wings. -
There were 2 sides involved in Brexit, the UK and the EU. It was/is obvious that the EU would make it as hard as possible for the UK to leave to deter other countries from doing the same.

Phuket residents to rally against interior permanent secretary
billd766 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Where I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet the nearest railway station is 130km away down in Nakhon Sawan. 3 bus rides away. The next nearest would be Pichet, about 160 km and then Phitsanulok 180 km away. The roads in general are pretty good There is NO local transport from my village, next to the Mae Wong national park to the big village 6km away. You can get a national bus to Bangkok 4 times a day, or take a baht bus 60 km to Kamphaeng Phet. Whilst most of the houses are now on a main water supply the farmland is mostly rainfed. Sewage disposal is a matter of calling for the honey truck every so often. We do get a garbage collection once a week from the big village but where they dispose it I have no idea. I found an interesting link here where you can compare provinces, population and income in Thailand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Thai_provinces_by_GPP @nigelforbes My apologies as I replied to @Old Croc before I saw your post. -
Ex-press secretary: Trump wanted to fire usher for helping Bidens move in
billd766 replied to Scott's topic in World News
Do you have anything that says different? -
It would depend on how much other traffic was around. If it was a 2 way street and someone wanted to overtake her with somebody coming the other way, she might not have had that one metre, especially if the baht bus was "edging out". She may well have been either looking in the mirror or behind her and the baht bus may just have pulled out too far. If there was another vehicle behind him, he may not have been able to back up. All this is just theory with no actual knowledge and no CCTV back up.

Could he be correct? After all, so many stories that I read about Phuket, is that it is a gimme gimme island that always wants more from the government, but never seems to pass any profits back. -
Prince Harry tells Anderson Cooper why he’s not stepping out of the limelight
billd766 replied to Scott's topic in World News
Kumar Mashid would have done a lot better to have actually found out who DID put that fuse box in and go on from there. -
Now why would you wonder that? Did you read the OP? quote " A 55 year old lady called Anongnak Pannon was sleeping soundly with her three year old granddaughter who she had cared for since birth. She was suddenly awoken at 4 am by her son Ronnachai Pannon, 27, who told her a water pipe had burst in the bathroom. She went to look and found that was not the case."

Prince Harry tells Anderson Cooper why he’s not stepping out of the limelight
billd766 replied to Scott's topic in World News
You don't like facts or links being posted? Or do you only like what you post. I answered your question. yet you don't like my response. -
quote from the OP "grandmother had told them (the police) that Ronnachai had been on a New Year binge and had not slept for days. She believed he might have been taking drugs as well as consuming booze." How did you make the jump from the OP comment into finding excuses for his behaviour? I certainly didn't read it that way, and I don't think many other people would either.

Have you ever considered doing a little research before you post rubbish like this. https://veteranlife.com/lifestyle/prince-harry-military/#:~:text=Harry served two tours in,joined the Blues and Royals. Did you ever volunteer to join the military and fight for your country? Have you ever done anything for your country and not for yourself? -

From Toronto To Chanthaburi: H M S Minstrel - H T M S Phosamton
billd766 replied to cycloneJ's topic in Eastern Thailand
I had not realised that the thread is nearly 10 years old I think that the only way now would be to build a cofferdam around the ship, pump it out and keep pumping 24/7. Then I suspect the hull would need to be rebuilt from the keel up. Far to expensive unless teh RTN is willing to throw tens of millions of baht at it. I am not sure if it was made of Canadian timber or steel. If it is steel it may well be hard to rebuild as there will be little structural steel left to weld to. -
quote from the OP "“His management style is good and modern,” Dr Stithorn Thananithichot, director for Innovation for Democracy at the King Prajadhipok’s Institute, said of the city governor." Just who is Dr Stithorn Thananithichot, and what does he actually do for a living? A director for Innovation for Democracy at the King Prajadhipok’s Institute, is his title but what does he actually do? Certainly nothing for the people of Bangkok, unlike Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt who actually goes out and meets the people, listens to them, and then does his best to fix their problems.
