I recently got duped on Lazada. Totally my fault.I thought I was buying a Philips air fryer.Imagine my surprise when I unboxed this gem.I gave them a 1 star rating for fooling an old man. I tried it 3-4 times and works okay so far. 555 Laughing at myself on this one.

Most of my contracts in O&G industry provided bus class air.The ones that didn't I instructed to upgrade me and take the difference from my salary. No more economy flights for me except domestic. I somehow managed to get upgraded to 1st a couple times.Snobbish but nice.

I loath airports now.My last 7 years working forced me to fly each month on a rota basis...bah

Yup, Mars TS1000 Led Grow Light Full Spectrum...just checked...been a while

BMT I agree with you.I had a similar tent set up in an unused bathroom shower. The 1000 watt LED light produced way too much heat even with with plenty of fans.I had to resort to ac to stop the plants from burning.(autoflowers) I did get get some decent results but even at 200b / gram it's better for me to just buy it these days.As you say outside growing was hopeless.

I grew my own in an unused bathroom before it went legal.Problem was the LED light put out too much heat and I had to run ac to cool the room down. After it went legal it was cheaper for me to just but it retail.Anyone want a free LED/Tent set up..555

In 1990/91 Samui we met a lady in Lamai who said we should get our Thai dl as she knew someone at DLT. She took a couple of us to the rather remote office left of the Lamai/Nathon road. We were given a 2-3 page booklet with sets of multiple choice questions. I soon realized that the correct answers were whited out. When done I put a few hundred baht along with the answer sheet into the booklet and handed it all in .Half our later we left with 1 year paper drivers license. I eventually did have to take the new electronic test though for some reason. Passed by 1 point.

I switched from agent 800k to monthly deposits of 65k last March. I showed my Kbank and Wise statements. The IO had to have a chat with a colleague for a minute then approved me okay. You made a comment at the time that I was lucky they accepted it.(Jomtien) I intend to do the same again next year and am quite sure I'll have no issues from now on.

I think it's one of the side effects of unvetted wide open immigration.aka "diversity"

100% correct...now they're throwing in an avian flu to confuse the issue to the masses. Crock of BS IMHO

Imagine the nerve of those paid off doctors to sign bogus medical documents...now Its all falling apart. Not looking too good for Yingy either these days.

This article is full of good information IMHO.When I came here to retire in 2004 @ 54 I wish I knew more on this topic.I had no health insurance except for when I took some contract jobs in O&G. At 59 I had quad bypass surgery at BPH Hospital. Fortunately I was on contract at the time and Buhpa Blue Cross covered the entire bill. (north if 1 million b) After I recovered I asked for a health policy but I could only get bare minimum coverage with tons of exemptions.I basically have to self insure now. If I had a solid non Thai policy I would have been ok. I can't stress enough for everyone to get a good policy before coming here before something major occurs. Pre existing conditions are your worst nightmare when trying to get insurance.

In hindsight I suppose you are correct.I probably didn't need to show my gov't income tax file. Only the Kbank book deposits and the Wise monthly deposit slips. Thats all they ask for is proof of 65k deposits monthly.

As a Canuck I only used the embassy confirmation of income once.It cost me 50$ in fees plus car fare Pattaya to Bkk. Last time I only showed immigration my downloaded Income tax file and Wise transfer receipts.Very well accepted. I saved money by not having the "affidavit" paper. Didn't need the embassy paper.As someone else said it will only affect the bogus declarations.

Doctors in LOS are held in "god like" high esteem . I had the audacity to disagree with a Dr here in front of my wife on a symptom I had at the time.during an office visit. After we left the office she wouldn't speak to me for an hour(win) because of my perceived insubordination.555 I just made a joke of it but she's proven her stance a few times over the years. If he told her leap out of his window to cure a cold she would probably open the window herself and thank him. Brainwashed since childhood like many locals. Similar to the SHAMAN at the local temple chasing away any ghosts (for a small fee)
