WISE
My wife (Thai) and I each have a WISE account. Apart from the initial setting up of our accounts, neither of us has had to verify anything. I (mainly) use my account to satisfy the "long term stay in Thailand" rules (at least 65,000 THB each month) and my transfer to Bangkok Bank always arrives at 2.00pm the next working day. My wife transfers money, using the "tuition fees" option, the money arrives within seconds. We are both transferring monies from UK pension payments which have been deposited directly into our WISE accounts. Our joint and individual bank accounts have been closed by Barclay's, because we don't have a UK address, so WISE has been a godsend for us.

Chemical tank explosion causes panic in Bangkok district
From the linked report we know it was "yellow" and "toxic-looking". Brilliant investigative journalism.

Opinion: Dear Pheu Thai, please stop your pantomime
They don't give a damn about the public. But, yes plenty are naive. My wife is very happy that they are all forgiving each other so they can work together for the good of the country. I'm tired of trying to explain the truth to her.

No beers today - Very boring day
That makes the price of a 4L box around 3,400baht - Yikes!

1L Bells whisky just over 500baht, with schweppes ginger ale. 1L Kulov vodka just over 400baht, with orange juice or cranberry. Yes, I know, not exactly top quality spirits, but they do the job for me.

Old age and dying
I'd be a lot happier in the remaining years of my life if voluntary euthanasia or assisted suicide was available here. The prospect of losing my marbles and being a drain on my family terrifies me, and DIY suicide can go horribly wrong. Dying with some dignity would be my choice.

Recently my girlfriend asked me if I was having sex behind her back. I replied, ‘Yes, who did you think it was?'

Proof that AN members will argue over anything.
1 Cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces in US Standard Volume. 1 metric cup is 250 milliliters (which is about 8.5 fluid ounces). A US cup is about 237-240 mL. Americans will go to any extreme to avoid using metric measurements.

Rice prices spike threatens farmers in Thailand
I am also puzzled about the "threat" to farmers. Surely higher prices are good for them.
