For that, you might consider getting her into a yoga class. A fave with the ladies and classes have only ladies 99% of the time. Most of them are overweight and out of shape. Beginners always welcome. So your wife needn't feel anyone is looking at her negatively. She may also meet some friends there. Google around for yoga in Jomtien.

OK. Does your condo have a room potentially usable for fitness? You can buy and put a few pieces of equipment in there yourself, and that'll be good enough. Let other residents use it as well. Win win. Plan B: buy a suspension trainer. Can be hooked up at a door or elsewhere (new condo fitness room!). Versatile and serious, if you use it correctly. For some years I used only my TRX knockoff, treadmill, and a couple of dumbbells to stay fit. Then I returned to a gym. During COVID, I added in resistance bands, a furniture strap (isometrics), and my bed (for (in addition, ha ha) back hyperextensions and reverse). Getting back into the gym after COVID was an easy transition. Working out at home (I still do, to a limited extent) is so convenient. You can listen to music or watch a movie to make it far less boring. AND you control the aircon yourself! https://www.lazada.co.th/tag/suspension-trainer/?q=suspension trainer&catalog_redirect_tag=true Beginner TRX: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=beginner+trx+training These can become quite advanced and difficult.

Was, I agree. He degenerated into unfunny anti-conservative political digs, Colbert Lite. He did well to leave. Now he's coming back in to cash in on Trump. Bill Maher, to his credit, finally couldn't stand it any longer and started to become a bit more objective.

Pink Id card for foreigners
BigStar replied to Enquiry123's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No, you just want to waste time here arguing it isn't applicable to YOU. But you shouldn't need any spoon feeding at this point in your life. You can go look through the thread and if none of the many examples is applicable to YOU, then buzz off. LOL. Stop trolling. You don't know that, and in fact posters have contradicted you. Enough with spreading misinformation. Complex question fallacy. How serious must an asset be before one can regard it as worth having? Depends, now don't it. Numerous posters here feel that it sufficiently serious for them. Why is that a problem for you? It could well be worth having for others, if they can get through the noise here. Sadly, nobody cares if it is for you. Why should anyone feel obligated to waste time convincing you? You have enough info already to decide that for yourself, big boy. -

That no one owes you. As noted, examples are already given throughout the thread. You've turned into our latest troll. -

I doubt it. @DrJack54 lacks credibility. Some of his thinking has been quite muddled. -

Not at all. You've carefully and very consciously ignored the major point about possible convenience, as numerous posters have attested. The process of obtaining a yellow book/pink card has been explored. Finally, misinformation, such some you've attempted to promulgate, and lies have been corrected. And a lot of trolls have been laughed at. Amusing illogic. Depends. The thread has many testimonials from members who've found the YF/PC of sufficient use to own. Does that bother you? Why would you care? -

I did mine in Chonburi, used yellow book, no problem. Happy to avoid having to waste time and money in Jomtien getting a COR. -

No one's obligated to give you an example of anything. Why don't you stick to the topic? You can look thru the thread and see if YOU THINK any examples apply to you. If you think they don't, go away. Thread's no more relevant to you than an inquiry for a med in the Health forum that you don't need. Do you jump in all the med threads and demand posters convince you why you need that medicine? No. Nobody said pink ID cards are necessary for anything, and nobody cares what you use for anything. -

Be great then if you'd all just stay out of the pink card threads that have nothing to do with you. You don't just yawn; you lie, spread misinformation, and troll. Nobody cares what you use for anything. -

You'll need to read through the thread for testimonials of the usefulness and convenience of the pink card. Some members seem to use it fairly often. I used mine to check into a hotel last month, and for a hsp visit this month, as I have Thai SS. Other members have nothing not absolutely necessary, as they simply eat, sleep, and defecate. For the last, they use no toilet paper, as a bum gun and air dry suffice. If that's you, you'll definitely not want a pink card. Further, the process of getting one is also so hellish that the thought of it forces many members to tremble and soil their knickers, or diapers. So they troll every pink card thread to whinge and sour grapes and boast and falsely claim people are somehow daring criminally suggest they themselves need pink cards--even though such threads have nothing to do with them. -

Did anyone say they don't? Did anyone deny you can use them for transfers? What other neat things can you do that nobody said you couldn't do? Let's talk about all of them. Gratuitous womanly self-revelation is very popular here, as evinced by other posters as well. -

No one asked you what you need in your wallet, and no one cares in the slightest. YOU aren't the topic of the thread. Simple, isn't it? -

But the thread was hijacked, as all pink card threads are, by posters ranting and raving, like yourself, about why pink cards aren't necessary. Yet no one ever says they are necessary, and in fact everyone denies they are necessary. The OP is an exception and no one has agreed with him. People do, in response to the silly anti-pink card rants and raves, note that they themselves find them convenient. And that is just SO infuriating, for some reason. Perhaps you can explain. In the course of the anti-pink card ranting and raving, a lot of misinformation is of course thrown out by the ignorant. But you don't like it if that misinformation is corrected. Why is that? What do you care? In short, you've advanced the usual straw man argument. Nobody cares in the slightest whether you find a pink card convenient, have a pink card, like or dislike pink cards. And you have no information to offer or to correct, just want to talk about yourself. No one else to talk to? So what are you doing here? -

Please quote your imagined law that says banks can't accept a pink ID with a bank book for, say, over the counter withdrawals? Mine does. Oh, different bank workers including the manager herself. DLT, in my experience. Yellow book, that is. Maybe you were blathering on about "legal ID" and migrant workers etc. etc. and screwed yourself. -

It depends on the purpose of the stop. If merely for ID check, you're in compliance with Thai law. In theory, as Immigration, they can then check your visa status by computer. Obviously, if they want to see original stamps, or you're under suspicion for criminality, then only your physical passport will do, and you have 24 hours to produce or have it produced if you're detained. It would help if you stop obfuscating about migrant workers. It's totally irrelevant. In fact, you always love to jump into these pink ID card threads to spread misinformation, irrelevancy, speculation, and confusion, having nothing of any usefulness to contribute. Why is that? The law doesn't specify each and every type of acceptable identification you may carry to be in compliance. It also doesn't say that a photocopy or a phone photo is "legal identification." YAWN. Has nothing to do with foreign income. I find my card useful. What's YOUR problem? -

It is what it is, pal. You may have noticed, ah, inflexibility in other areas of life in Thailand, often decried on our beloved forum for cathartic purposes. Obviously not, esp. considering they have no computer for such tracking. Where do you think you are? Quite the opposite, as you indulge in @Neeranam -inspired sparring for the sport of it. Let's focus on the immediate context of a reply and apply reasonable powers of inference rather than jumping to favored broad sociological meanings for achieving more disagreement[,] shall we??? -

If I pay the day rate, of course. :) No, they ain't stupid. The pink card lacks my signature and, crucially, my gym membership expiration date. Moreover, it has no hole in it so that it can be hung on the board on a numbered hook in place of the key they gave me. You're beginning to sound like @Neeranam now. He's had a baleful influence, obviously. #2 in the line of responding posters "countering your claim that you 'need to have your gym membership card in your wallet too.'" Focus. -

No, that ain't the system. You give them the card, they give you a locker key in return. Give back the key, get back your card. Don't make extra work for staff, man. Adapt. Thrive. Here you are, #2. The phrase, Et tu, Brute? comes to mind.
