You would not believe it but I have contemplated this idea before ! Instead of paying for the pizza I would then go for an expensive wine

I would like to buy the least sexy underpants - Obelix Style. I hate to pull up the pants all the time. And those are indeed very difficult to find. I have asked my tailor to make me some custome size, but he rejected. Maybe I can find any flexible tailor that would do it ? Suggestions ?

It makes alsways sense to define the item under discussion until a consensus is reached. In this case a pizza. For me that means a Neapolitan Pizza which calls for imported ingrediants, like real Mozarella, Olive Oil, Carciofi etc. I find that under these conditions, a pizza is surprizingly cheap here. I would rather like to pay the double prize, if they were not so stingy with the size of toppings, which they must be given the exuberant import taxes. This is as well true for any other dish in a restaurant. The real ingredience is the biggest cost driver.

Works with Chrome. I am using Firefox with DuckDuckGo plus a number of Security Add-ons. I will see if I can get Chrome configured to my liking and use it only then for accessing "View New Content". But this is a workaround and should not be necessary. Before it worked perfectly incl. Add-Ons and Firefox and DuckDuckGo.

This is the end of the list I see. The button "Load more activity" at the end of the list does not work. If I disable "NoScript" it shows at least the same short list again. These effects were all not present before your maintenance. I get as well a pop-up for a newsletter request, which I filled up.. But I get no newslettter, either. Many things do not work anymore the way they usedd to.

Why is the mentioned list suddenly so very short. Goes back some minutes and that's it.

1. How come you know about the extra section ? 2. To what mailing list will they then send the information or request for filing ? 3. Just in case: Has anybody have the adress of a Top-consultant who could hold my hand if it would come to more complicated discussions with the Tax authorities (which I do not really expect, but the new people hired per tax district (what is a tax district ? Amphoe ?) have obviously not much experience since they just started

Mona Fashion. Not in Jomtien but conveniently located at the crossing 2nd road Central Road. He made all kinds of items for me from full suit until special belt. They are both Indian so if you want a favourable price mention the cost factor at the very beginning.

I think this is the most serious open issue. Is it so dificult to see that the current font is not really well usable. How much more comfort could be achieved with only some small changes (Size, Color). This is something worth escalating. Now lets see some more 2 weeks when the "maintenance" is really finished. If it is not better then we slould find the one who decides these things and talk to him directly. I doubt that this is the forum support. Must be some more steps higher.

I do not know who invented the "sad" and "confused" emojis, they are really meaningless. But a "Thank you", "helpful" "not helpful" alone would do - as it is is done at YouTube for example. #of total posts would as well not be so bad.

Maybe its fashionable. Many things are fashionable but totally useless. Yes, this is a very good idea, make the letters black !!

Exactly ! Why the small font ? During maintenance they just got it right for 2-3 days and then again the fallback in the old times. Many here are retirees, some text is really difficult to read for them. It is not only the font size but the thickness of the letters as well. Please rethink the design - maybe consult some more aged persons. Thanks.

I suggest you did. Many times, but you obviously do not remember.

Since YEARS I am after tasty oranges here in Thailand. Without success. Actually I am after the juice because I need it occasionally for cooking. The ready made juice - even the most expensive direct pressed important ones for a fortune - do not really satisfy. In Switzerland you walk into your casual supermarket and get the finest of both. Most seem to be from Spain. The best ready made juice is actually from France (see picture). If yo have any idea whrere I could get this stuff I would be delighted. Thanks

No fear at all - well, depends HOW it is happening only. Got a good chance of sudden heart failure with my severe Cardiomyophatie.

That is as well my view. However, the Mahayana doctrine (in comparison of the Theravada Teachings prevailing in Thailand) lays emphasis on the ending of suffering of all conscious beings - not only for oneself.

I would never have thought that I would ever say that. But I want my Uncle back. At least until some really good alternative would be available and overwhelmingly supported. I suddenly even doubt that it would have been what should have been obvious after the last elections.

I do not think thats a hypothetical one and the topic better than many other really meaningless and stupid topics that I remember reading here. And I find it quite interesting - especially because it is NOT hypothetical.

Ranks and Badges have not been matching with the posts already for a long time. Now you performed again a bigger maintenance yesterday. So 10000 post members are again newbies. Not that this would be crucial but it still leaves a bit of a taste of disappointment. I suspect this will never be corrected or will you make an effort again to get it really right ?

No. Never anywhere in the world - even not in the slums of Manila. But they stole 2 times money from me. In both cases it was my fault. But this was more than 20 years ago - and even the standard procedures that I have learned now: In Bangkok at the notorious spot at Asoke while back from Cowboy to my hotel ("the ladyboy embrace attack") and once on a market in Pattaya (wallet in the side pocket of the pants). Typical newbie mistakes at the time. But now I know how they do it. Wont happen again. I reported the Ladyboy embrace even at a policestation and the friendly officer in charge wrote a lengthy report (about one full DIN A4 in handwriting) which I translated. My househod insurance which included theft outside of the house did pay back the full amount. This were other times.

Relax.. This is not too bad. The complicated part is how I get this all done unhurt and without heart attack. And it is not really a problem if I need to pay tax on what I need.

Better not to be too quick with your wrong assumptions. I am - for example - not stateless but the country from where I get my passport does not pay me any money. I get the money from another country. Both countries have DTAs with Thailand but I do not pay any tax in neither of them because I do not have any homeadress in either of them. Not sure if any DTA would be applicable to me and if yes, then it might be the one from where I get the dosh and not the one from where I have a passport. Maybe.

If you are on the Tang Duan system over BKK and take a wrong turn, you may safely add one hour. Happened to us. Sometime the highways find again together like a miracle - if you are lucky. But a top notch GPS is needed for BKK. On a small scale our car build in GPS is excellent for Bangkok and we us Google Maps in parallel which is better on a large scale. But they may constructing a new highway and relocate the traffic. This plus an accident and then dont forget your comfort device.

How true, and not only this one. There are many beers that are phantastic. @spidermike007 claim that beer is a boring drink is simply not true. There is Weihenstephan Vitus for example, producted by a brewery with nearly 1000 years experience. Or Kirin or Asahi from Japan. Of course everybody has his own taste. I do not like Lao Khao, either. But it must not only be wine. Sake is phantastic, too - a whole universe to discover - like for beer. I am a German national, what do you expect ? That I drink luke warm Guiness ?

I guess every retiree with pension would like to know. But I have neard rumours that thousands of pensioneers did never file a tax return even if over the threshold, partly to the practice of the RD not to care about. So it seems that all these people would have to file because the practice has changed starting 2024 besides some specialities which nobody knows yet. Do the retirees then have to file for every pension amount received as well in the past ? I suppose that would be as well a nightmare for the RD. And then how to proceed in this case ? There seems two be two fractions that believe that asking the RD itself is the best way and some that this should be avoided because of unforeseen circumstances - if not to call that even a stupid behaviour arousing more trouble than necessary and avoidable. Now that you will always be well prepared concerning the latest info on the matter - but what is your proposed way of action ? I could imagine the best would be to hire a really good accountant / lawyer who has long experience with the RD. But where to find such a person in Pattaya ? I think this last question is crucial.
