That's the one.

I recall seeing a sign like this somewhere in the vicinity of Soi Diana, Pattaya some years ago ...

Good for you - no sarcasm. I'm sure that many retirees would be willing/eager to pay double that price to join the Thai Universal Coverage or Social Security schemes, if they were available.

He built a cabinet for his daughter.

Sounds like something a condo receptionist or security guard could be trusted to do, for a small fee.

What time of day did this orb rise from the sea - dawn?

Those guys are fast as lightning.

Maybe you could unblock this poster, temporarily, and start reporting his misleading posts, or ask other members to report those posts. I guess the mods will dish out some posting holidays.

Lesson learned. Next time strap a few logs to the front of the truck, for balance.

What are you doing for showers, toilets, etc?

The project achieved its only objective. 95MB of public money was shared proportionately according to rank and position.

My daughter (12) was there on a school "camping" trip a short while ago. She was in a girl's dorm with about 50 others. They had a great time. BTW - I'm not recommending this for Georgie.

Seems it can be pronounced Max, Mex, Mux. Not confusing at all.

Your local Wat probably has some more substantial gazebos for their events. Ours rents them out too. Maybe you could ask where they got them.

Poor cow. She must be Friesian.

If you mean this sort of thing ... Try searching for canopy or gazebo, instead of tent.

Some people might pay extra for that "golden service".

Although I opened my Wise account with a Thailand address, Wise is registered in the UK, so there is no Swift transfer involved. I believe the transfer from my pension providers to Wise is by Faster Payment Service (FPS). My pensions are paid directly into my Wise account. There are no fees. Credit union transfers require me to send a request for funds then wait for their next banking session. No fees. My credit union will also send money directly to my Bangkok Bank account, using Swift, but that is even slower and more expensive than Wise. I am hoping Wise will provide a debit card for Thailand. At the moment, if I want to pay for air fares etc., I need to transfer money into Thailand then pay with my Thai bank cards. Losing money in fees and exchange rates.

My UK bank (Barclays) closed my accounts because I am not a UK resident. I use Wise to receive my pensions. I can also send money to Wise from my Credit Union savings account, but that takes a few days (due to the credit union banking arrangements). I use the monthly income method for my annual extensions, and it takes 1-4 days for the money to get from Wise to my Bangkok Bank account - this is because I asked wise to tag my account to ensure the transfer is always shown as International. However, if I want to send money quickly, I send it to my wife's Wise account and she does the transfer - which is always instant. When I use Wise to pay for goods/services that is always instant too. AFAIK, it is not possible to send THB to Wise.

My wife and I have Wise accounts which we opened whilst living here with Thailand addresses. You are correct that the Wise card is not available to us.

That seems an unusually short sentence. He'll be out in 20 months, or even less.

That is exactly what the MFP were proposing - and look what happened to them.
