I'd just use a credit card to purchase an airline ticket.

50K is a self-limiting number. I don't make transactions in excess of that amount other than deposits made by US SSA. So personally, I think I'll just leave it as it is. It's an extra layer of security.

Every year there are attacks on the efficient and efficacy of the Thai Health System, which in my humble opinion is one of the best public healthcare systems on the planet. What is really being said is that there are vested interests who want the entire system privatized. Then it will go to Hell in a hand-basket. Look at the NHS. I've seen our local Amphur hospital care for 200 people in a day, and 125+ in the first 4 hours. It ain't broken. But there are people who want to break it and then suck the life out of it.

Try installing Libre Office for Windows. Try opening the Thai .docx file. If it works, re-save it as .docx format with a different name and then try Word again.

After Many Decades Living in Thailand (or Asia), ... Do You Sometimes Dream of your First Wife....Left Back in the "Old Country"? Do you dream VIVID Dreams about her, too? No. In fact I seldom think of that cheating *****, except your OP stirred my memory. I don't dream about her at all.

I bought mine from Lazada. No problems.

I ordered on last night

Just print out Forms 29 and 30 and take them with you. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=3202

He can leave his cardboard cutouts that the Thai citizens know and love.

And you are asking to get hooked on short-half-life benzodiazapines. Trust me as someone who helped a significant other wean off of doctor prescribed Xanax - don't go there. "But my doctor prescribed it!" I don't understand people's stupid trust in "experts." The vast majority of those capable of prescribing a highly addictive drug to you have absolutely no idea how to taper you off of those drugs. Nor would they want to - You're an addict now - Legal ฿฿฿Cha-Ching฿฿฿

I tried expensive CBD Oil. Didn't works worth a hill of beans. Two hits of local hashish and then tune it a US talk show. Well - I probably don't need the hashish. As far a OTC drugs go. Antihistamines do work from me. Specifically Hydroxyzine, sold under the brand names Atarax in Thailand. You'll dose between 25 to 100 mg. Start low and work up.

But I want to know what knock-off he bought so I can buy it too.

According to whom? The East or the West?

If it sounds good. Link up where you bought it. I may want one too.

Obviously - and the link to the study showing that 'inadequate milk intake by Thai children conclusively decreases their statue?" "A recent study carried out by the DoH, Unicef Thailand and Suan Dusit Rajabhat University involving children aged 6-19 found that the majority of Thai children drink an average of one glass of milk a day, he added." So - Link to studies that conclusively conclude that Thai children drink too little milk and that if they drank more milk they would be taller??? Otherwise it is not attributed as well as being heresay. And is being "taller" so sort of a new benchmark? If you're short you are somehow less adequate then 'taller' Thais perhaps. As well - are there any 'conflicts of interest' between the milk industry and certain "pro-milk" doctors? Just wondering out loud. If there isn't then no problem. If there are conflicts of interest, then they should be highlighted.

Let's get to reality. Westerners. "My (Mom/Dad) **** her/his pants. ORDERLY. NURSE! Clean that up!!!" How about - Your dying Mum/Dad just **** her/his pants. They cleaned your pants for how many years during your infancy. Now they need YOUR HELP. Step The Hell Up!

Think of it this way. In First World countries, you can pay someone to "do everything, feed, give drinks, tell the doctor whats wrong, change colostomy bags & nappies etc" - and therefore completely sanitize the dying process and make it someone other than the "Family's" problem. The "Family" can just stay drunk and gossip about the dying's life while someone lower on the social spectrum takes care of the dirty-work. Unless they can't. And to be really, really honest? Here in Thailand, most middle class people can afford to hire someone (for 10K a month) to do all of that. To be a caregiver. And you could probably find a good caregiver too as an expat Instead? Complain. "Thailand Medical Bad." Thailand isn't First World. Nope. It is not. Culturally until recently, family would take care of all of that "messy and dirty" work of caring for dying family members until the last moment. And even then? Many die at home. Imho the biggest issue here in Thailand is the lack of Palliative Care for Joe Sixpack and Sonchai TaMaDa. There is a real lack of compassion when it come to alleviating pain in terminal patients. Well - unless you have ฿฿฿฿Cha-Ching฿฿฿฿ If pain can be addressed, then dying is just a matter of marking time.

This thoroughly sucks. First - this contention: "In this regard, you can use banking services to make financial trnasactions via the SCB Easy (modile banking) application, which is more advanced and secure." Android is the quintessential data harvesting application. And trust me -- SCB_Easy over Desktop Linux is a ****-ton more secure than any application running over Android. I have a handful of transfers that I need to make each year so I need to do some soul-searching as to whether or not I need to exchange "convenience" for security. I prefer not to run my banking application on a so-called 'smart-phone.' Yeah, it's smart - smart enough to expose your private information (metadata especially) to all takers. And what's this "facial recognition" bruhaha. "You can continue using services and making financial transactions seamlessly via the SCB EASY app, including facial recognition"......blahblahblahblahblah... Yeah - put Joe Average and Somchai TaMaDa under the microscope while "Big Banks" are fined again and again and again for facilitating 'money laundering' - and no bank executives ever go to jail. But those of us with Jack-Scat? You gotta watch the commoners with you're phones camera as well as track a transfer of every satang. Ok - perhaps SCB EASY Android is secure - but I don't trust Android. I guess Google can sue me then, 'eh?

You're a good person to think so highly for your cat's care. I can identify. I take care of a lot of animals: some mine, some under my care (temple cats and dogs in two temples), and the odd ball feral dogs and cats as well a village dogs and cats who don't seem to get care wherever they happen to live. CKD just sucks, especially to watch it happen to two of your pets while the rest are just fine - and you wonder - why? Best of luck.

Can anyone make recommendations for cheap brick weed. I don't smoke it but I use brick weed to make tea. I decarboxylatize it using a pressure cooker and then use the tincture.

Most people use the term "Fascist" as a highly charged pejorative, but don't actually have a clue as to what Fascism actually is. "DeSantis Is A Fascist," really breaks down to the phrase, "I Don't Like DeSantis So I Call Him Names." For those who use "Fascist" as a term to label people they don't like, try reading Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolina's writings regarding Fascism. At least get the term right and apply it to actual Fascists.

I met a woman years back who insisted she was a marijuana addict. I know enough about human physiology to know that THC is not physically addicting such as opioids. But I can see any drug that pleasantly alters your perception as having the potential to develop dependency - which is not addiction. However, to the women I knew, that would be splitting hairs. Her perception of being "an addict" made her "an addict."

Exactly - so why's he foreshadowing his own return, and what preparations where made to pave the path with rose pedals and paper-hearts, and possibly even a red carpet.

I wonder what plans "Tony" made and with whom in order to grease the skids for his imminent 'home-coming.' It will be a wonder to watch the justice system back in action when it comes to dealing with another billionaire Thai national.

I spent most of my time after March 2020 trying to understand why I was one of only a handful of people not freaking out and displaying clinical symptoms of anxiety disorder. The majority thought they were going to die for sure. I never felt that the entire dog and pony show was going to be anything but an exercise in social control. And I've no anxiety about future "population killing global pandemics" or the apocalyptic end of the world due to global warming. All I need to do is look at the billionaire class: they don't mask, they don't social distance, they own scads of beach-front properties, they fly private jets everywhere while Joe Sixpack is told to stay in a 15 minute city and ride a bike. Taking my cue from them, there is nothing to worry about other then media induced irrational fear of (insert what the MSM is telling you to fear today), and billionaire class' insistence on the implementation of a totalitarian dystopia for the rest of us. "You'll own nothing, obey your overlords, and be happy - or else. And enjoy the crickets. Yum yum." My suggestion? Well, go see a psychiatrist and ask for some anxiety meds - or - develop a new world-view. It's difficult to be anxious and cynical at the same time.
