  1. It's a little late for you but maybe someone else would benefit. You should have visited the veterinarian for a vasectomy before coming (pun intended) to Thailand. No unplanned pregnancies in that case, and only a few thousand Euros to get artificial insemination done if decided by all parties involved.
  2. Beware. Certain things can get into your nasal passages that can cause extreme damage. If tap water can do this what do you think poorly treated pool water can do? Person in Florida dies after brain-eating amoeba infection, possibly due to sinus rinse with tap water. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/02/health/brain-eating-amoeba-florida-wellness/index.html CNN — A person in Charlotte County, Florida, has died after being infected with the rare brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri. The infection possibly resulted from “sinus rinse practices utilizing tap water,” according to a news release from the Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County. The release was issued in February to alert the public about the infection. Infection with Naegleria fowleri “can only happen when water contaminated with amoebae enters the body through the nose,” according to the department’s news release.
  3. Yes, it's sad that they are so stupid that they believe the self admitted lies from Fox Fiction. But it's also funny that they are so stupid that they believe the self admitted lies from Fox Fiction.
  4. I do like to view the Fox Fiction Network regularly. Always entertaining to consider that so many believe the nonsense uttered there.
  5. I have an omron that I keep in Canada. I travel with a Cigii unit that cost about 500bt that is much smaller. The numbers they give are equivalent. If I had to buy one now it would not be an omron at 5 or 6 times the cost. The cigii unit also has additional features the omron doesn't like abnormal heart rhythm detection.
  6. Smoking marijuana doesn't make you smarter. Smoking marijuana makes you think you're smarter.
  7. It's got to do with how you grew up. If you were around a lot of people in your formative years(2-8) you will want to be around many when older. If not, then you won't mind being alone. This also explains why Thais (and Filipinos and Khmer) need to be around others, as most of them had a lot of people around in that period.
  8. Unforgotten season 5 has dropped.
  9. Russians beware!
  10. Let me guess. You got those “facts“ from fox news.
  11. I am about to be an ex customer of Bangkok Bank. I have removed all the money from the other accounts and only the 800K(for retirement visa) term deposit which matures in a few weeks is left. I last got my NR-O extended for a year in mid January. So the question is, when can I move the 800K? Obviously I will wait for the term deposit to mature. What are the immigration requirements for the funds to remain there? Also is there an electronic way to transfer the money to Kasikorn? I really don't want to carry 800k in cash. Thanks
  12. Lately I've been reading them on my TV. Fbreader loaded onto my android TV box. Much easier than holding a tablet. One button on the remote to turn the page. Can sync what you're reading too so pick up a tablet or phone and it knows where you stopped reading on the TV.
  13. I too recently changed from bbk bank to k-bank. First wise xfer from a USA bank took less than a minute. Under 100k baht.
  14. I thought the next Bond was a woman.
  15. Here's an unexpected surprise. Theaters in a couple of weeks and Netflix on March 12. https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3984246041/?playlistId=tt3155298&ref_=tt_ov_vi Luther, the movie.
  16. The branch I have been doing counter withdrawals at for years is the one that is now refusing. Same tellers and manager. As I stated, they actually ran my card through the same machine that has always worked in the past and it was rejected. Now they may have punched some buttons that caused it to fail, but I'm not familiar enough to determine that.
  17. I'd definitely get into these elephant pants.
  18. Good explanation. Let me add a bit. I used to use Bangkok Bank counter withdrawals exclusively to get cash. They recently stopped, saying their machines would no longer accept debit withdrawals, and they attempted to do one and it failed. I searched other banks and only Krungsri(sp?), the yellow one, would do the counter withdrawal, but limited to 15k per day. The old line used by the banks was that your card needed to be embossed or they couldn't accept it. Now it's cannot do with debit card. All silly games to make you use the ATM and pay the exorbitant associated fees. I've opened an account at K-Bank, the green one, with much less hassle than opening the bkk bank ones. I'll be using wise for foreign money and moving the money currently in bkk bank there also.
  19. You need to go to a different eye clinic. Who knows what snake oil is in the bottle they gave you. Maybe something that they concocted themselves.
  20. Marketing BS. The food stalls and the fixed wall stores have been open during the week for a long time. The portable shops will not be open during the week.
  21. Was the shooter from the United States?
  22. Lucky for you that you don't live next door to me...
  23. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/988054 Drinking one or two cocktails a day may protect against dementia, while having three or more could increase risk, new research suggests. Investigators assessed dementia risk using changes in alcohol consumption over a 2-year period in nearly four million people in Korea. After about 7 years, dementia was 21% less likely in mild drinkers and 17% less likely in moderate drinkers. Heavy drinking was linked to an 8% increased risk.
