Good luck, you're going to need it looking for a condo in January, middle of high season. Plus, I recently was searching in that are for a condo for 5 months. Even though it was October, there were few available compared to earlier years at the same time. I blame it on the Russians avoiding conscription, etc. Strangely enough, even though all the condos are rented, the bike rental shops are overflowing as few are renting.

UK pensioners flock to luxury retirement resorts in Thailand
gargamon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well, they can't (or at least not as easily as before) go to Spain anymore since they voted themselves out of the EU. You really can't expect them to stay in the UK, can you? -

Good luck finding a good one, especially when you get old/sick and she tires of all the work. If you can afford it, the care home is a much superior answer. -
Getting used to live in a wheel chair
gargamon replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Hook him up with one of the assisted living places where he can be self reliant until he can't and then some of the living duties can be handed off to the facility. Some of them are very nice, from having private villa with private pool down to shared rooms for the less fortunate financially. They are all over, with LaLisa in Chiang Mai being the most famous. Here's a suite from one in Pattaya. -
Cheated by Savings-bank...

Well it seems to me that the banking apps in Thailand are highly secure. Please provide an example or two of scams on mobile apps, especially banking apps if you have some. Thanks -
House elects Mike Johnson as Speaker, ending GOP chaos
gargamon replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I thought this thread was about Mike Johnson. Let's try and get back on topic. How about this: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/01/politics/mike-johnson-kfile-invs/index.html Before he became a politician, House Speaker Mike Johnson partnered with an anti-gay conversion therapy group. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson closely collaborated with a group in the mid-to-late 2000s that promoted “conversion therapy,” a discredited practice that asserted it could change the sexual orientation of gay and lesbian individuals. Prior to launching his political career, Johnson, a lawyer, gave legal advice to an organization called Exodus International and partnered with the group to put on an annual anti-gay event aimed at teens, according to a CNN KFile review of more than a dozen of Johnson’s media appearances from that timespan. -

Transferring Visa to new passport
gargamon replied to Westen's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I'm needing to get a new Canadian passport soon. Did you get the new one in Thailand or Canada? Did you courier or carry the old in when submitting your application? I assume you checked the box to get your old one back. I think if it was the Canadian embassy in Thailand that screwed up, the only safe way would be to submit in person when you get to take your old passport (with holes in it to make it invalid) with you after submitting the application. -

Keeping sim cards alive frequent visitor
gargamon replied to surreybloke's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I had a sim years back, true if I recall correctly that allowed you to purchase extended validity. A simple google search (not research) showed this: https://help.mobiletopup.com/knowledge-base/how-do-i-extend-the-expiry-date-validity-of-my-sim/ -
Foreign Tourist Attacked by Hostile Youngsters in Pattaya
gargamon replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Clearly they attacked him because he had too much body hair. -
See if you can find some tincture. Liquid drops, just put some under your tongue and 30 minutes later...

Sorry, that's long out of date. No fasting required now in most countries, US and Canada for sure.

BKK airport waiting times
gargamon replied to mpdk78's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Dunno. There was no lineup in regular immigration so I just went there. -
Diet and exercise can drop your cholesterol by 5%. Taking a statin reduces it up to 50%. When my Dr recommend I change my diet and do more exercise I laughed at him as I was in the gym 3 or 4 times a week and eating well at the time. I insisted he give me a statin. 25 years later hdl, ldl, etc all well withing recommended levels. Also a stress test in 2016 showed 0% blockage on either side of the heart.

Those priority tagged business class bags were from the next flight to use that carousel, not the flight you were on. -

BKK airport waiting times
gargamon replied to mpdk78's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Please advise what airline did that? Do you use them all the time? EVA would never do that, and if they did I would need to find a new one. BTW, my flight consisted of three segments, and even after that my luggage was still front of the queue in BKK. Did your airline advise you of the fast track immigration for business class? -
Evidence of DNA Contamination in Pfizer Vaccine
gargamon replied to Red Phoenix's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
I'm too lazy to read all this nonsense, so sorry if this has been posted already: https://news.yahoo.com/false-claims-recirculate-harmful-dna-184043727.html Scientists have repeatedly refuted the claim that Covid-19 vaccines can alter a person's genome, but social media posts suggest DNA contamination in the injections could lead to harmful effects such as cancer. This is false; there is no evidence of significant amounts of genetic material in the shots -- and even if there were, experts say they could not alter cells. The claims circulated after University of South Carolina biologist Phillip Buckhaults appeared before a state panel September 13, 2023 to discuss his research on messenger RNA (mRNA) Covid-19 vaccines.
