Not if you make use of 'Airflow' for your routine dentist visits.

I can't believe no one is mentioning the best tea bags in Thailand: Marks & Spencers' "Extra Strong tea bags".

I have been named as a beneficiary in my friends will.
Gaccha replied to tucker4444's topic in General Topics
In Thai Law it does seem that if at time of death if you are living then you are a "legatee" and your inheritors will receive the entitled amount at time of distribution. But was your friend's Will written under English Law? If so, that typically has a survivorship clause where you must outlive him by a certain amount (around a month) to inherit the funds from the estate. This also raises the question of if it will be recognised by the Thai courts. There's not much you can do now but sit and wait. -
AOT confirms facial recognition for international flights
Gaccha replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
As an aside, AirAsia's self check-in machines at Don Muang do not work for anyone with middle names. You can easily imagine that government-created machines will have more problems than machines created by commercial organisations. Let's wait and see... -
Bangkok Bank App Problem.
Gaccha replied to Mason45's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
It might be that the app is locking you out for security reasons. Please do the following: Go to "settings"--> "accessibility"--> "installed apps", and make sure all the listed apps are turned off. -
The call was made early Thursday afternoon. He made it from the airport. The man was still in the airport when he was arrested Friday evening. If I was in his position, and had over 24 hours before they arrested me, I can think of a plan using a means of transport to get me out of their jurisdiction before they catch me...

Thailand Elite Bronze status?
Gaccha replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The "easy access" old Elite visa valid for 5 years was 500,000. I suppose taking into account inflation, and the need to save face, I think you've hit the bullseye. I always felt that even that old price was a rip off. The only vaguely reasonable was 20 years at 1 million. But obviously this all depends on our situations and feelings. I'm intrigued to see if a 20 year "new" visa makes an appearance in the next year. -

Their sales must be an absolute freefall. Either it will slowly die or they'll dramatically discount the rates. They made two errors. They projected forwards the unusual post-Covid demand, and they assumed the Chinese money vein could be tapped for ever. This government's new ultra -liberal visa policy was the final straw. -
UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
Gaccha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It still seems to be active. Going through the standing committee stage of the House of Lords. Very close to becoming an Act. -
This psychologizing the other side is so tiresome. I'm sure it makes you feel good but it's a dead-end. Just take the L. I describe it as a religious fervour because that's how it expressed itself. The senate leaders going to their knees over BLM, Whites chaining themselves up and begging forgiveness for their sins. It was all moral theatre. It self-described as a religious awakening: Woke. Denying what I can see before my eyes is foolish. When you're in a cult it doesn't feel like it. But you are. Your DNA emerged from the extreme puritanism of the Mayflower refugees. All of us non-Americans can see it. And because you're in a cult, everything American is dialled up to 11. Your fever has broken, just spend this time to recuperate before the next religious upheaval in 25 years.

You really sense a remarkable demoralisation of the Left this time round. The religious fervour has evaporated away. The idea that the future always bends to the Left shtick has been wrecked. Even a majority of Latino men voted Trump. He won a majority vote. Where can the left turn? They really are scrapping the barrel with the latest form of their religious awakening in the shape of men in girls' bathrooms. It's difficult to recall just how intense the Woke fever peaked at. Whites were more pro-immigrant than immigrants. Whites expressed remarkable levels of oikophobia in survey after survey. Trump is a giant shock to the Left. The fever has broken. A pivot to economic issues could be next.

Definitely do this. Open and shut case if there's CCTV. They'll pressure him to pay up.

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert

You Sweet Summer Child. This is how they know everything about your Australian money and investments. -
Expats and Retirees Excluded in Thailand's Citizenship Grants
Gaccha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How can you be this illiterate? My point is to express exasperation at the commentators who obsess over just the merest possibility of the West performing mass deportations. My point and only point was they are completely oblivious to Thailand's everyday use of the function. Of course I grasp the difference between stateless and immigrants. I feel Thailand has an overwhelming duty to provide citizenship to the stateless born on Thai soil. -
Expats and Retirees Excluded in Thailand's Citizenship Grants
Gaccha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Quiet reminder: Thailand had by August this year mass deported 145,000 Burmese migrants. You didn't know about this because only Western States are not allowed to do it. (Here's a source.) -
You have to be joking. You think they would add something, in order to deter people from taking too much of another substance in the tablet? But this deterrent effect would only work if the person reads the ingredients label... and is fairly literate on drug types... and also knows this particular fairly common drug can be very dangerous... And then and only then if all those conditions apply might it deter a potential addict...

From the scientific method which overcame personal prejudice and relied on investigation under controlled conditions. These marvellous organisations, for our benefit, do this for us, and the links I provided, that you are so reluctant to read, are from their thousands of hours of toil. This is especially important in this area where addicts are prone to lying. And where people can have considerably different experiences. And the reason I know these latter two points is again because of the scientific method.

One reason is that the ingredients are often covered by a protective layer (enteric layer) which ensures the ingredients are not destroyed in the stomach before it can be absorbed into the body.

It's one of the four standard methods as outlined in the link that I provided. Had you actually read it you would have known this before your dismissive response. "According to the Australian “National Guidelines for Medication-Assisted Treatment of Opioid Dependence” by Linda Gowing et al., published in April 2014, there are 4 primary interventions for managing opioid withdrawal... a third method entails gradually reducing doses of methadone." And you are wrong that people cannot die from going cold turkey with opioids. I understand you will not read the link but the title of the link is perfectly adequate: "Yes, people can die from opiate withdrawal"

Are the pills coated or slow release pills? You might be able to cut the pills up so you could taper more gradually. One entire pill cut is a big leap. Do you have a pill cutter device? You can buy at a big pharmacist or at Lazada for little more than 30 baht. You then could make 1/4 pill cuts over a period of 2 or 3 months. You'd probably not even notice a withdrawal.

Urgent Request for Information re Death of British Citizen in Thailand
Gaccha replied to Tippaporn's topic in General Topics
Firstly, are you sure you are aware of all his assets? He could have stocks, crypto or money, other funds in foreign banks and so on. Did you obtain access to any notes or books or items on his computer which reveal this? Have you gained full access to all his furniture and objects etc? Did you access his room which he lived? Did the hospital pass you all the property he had on his death? Did his "friend" assist with this? With regard to the 50,000 baht. Do you know where it went? Do you know who got it? Have you asked for its return yet? Have you reported it to the police? -
Bearing in mind your username and this comment I wonder if I can ask you if there have been any changes to the licencing regulations for satellite communication phones or rescue devices in the last two or three years.

I think it's unlikey you'll manage just to stop. You are facing an opioid addiction. You might need methadone, therapy and considerable support. And this is putting aside the physical danger from suddenly stopping. This link gives the info you need. Good luck King. You've got this.

Thailand to Implement 300-Baht Tourism Tax Starting with Air Travel
Gaccha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Siam Legal writes "The details are yet to be finalized by Thailand’s tourism authority, but it is likely that anyone arriving with a new Thai Tourist Visa, or entering under the visa-exemption or visa on arrival scheme will be required to pay the fee. Residents and those with long-term Thai visas will not be required to pay." As soon as it is announced in the Royal Gazette I'll take this seriously and I'll read the announcement.
