It's not comprehensive, but pretty thorough. Of the few that still exist, even fewer are still in their original state. The names of others live on, after they were torn down, or gutted, and rebuilt - the Grace, Manhattan, Park and Fortuna being a few. I wish the prices were still the same.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:29:22 +0000That's not even minimum wage in Thailand.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:28:51 +0000Off topic post removed.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:28:45 +0000Nobody has said that freedom doesn't come without painFri, 03 Jul 2026 02:28:31 +0000Disappointed that it ended or with how it ended?Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:27:53 +0000I have used Amazon several times. Often the total charge for customs and taxes are almost as much as the total cost of the items purchased. Therefore, I use Amazon for items I can't get elsewhere or there is a large savings from a price differential. For example, I needed a new foam cushion part for my ResMed CPAP full face mask. The price on Lazada was 1,750 baht each. On Amazon, I purchased "F20 Replacement Cushion Large - 3 Packs Mask Cushions" for a total of $39.95. After adding shipping and customs duties, I paid around $65 for 3 replacement cushions. Buying 3 cushions here the cost would have been around $160. Thus a great savings.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:27:07 +0000Evidently you have no idea. He has my sympathyFri, 03 Jul 2026 02:25:11 +0000The way I read it, it's been like that since World War II.... I'm still waiting to read about an outcome of the auto pen from Joe Biden TenureFri, 03 Jul 2026 02:24:56 +0000Evidently you have no idea.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:24:35 +0000I transfer about THB 80k each month from my account in the USA. My bank there requires me to classify the transfer. I categorize it as Family Support for a Long-Term Stay in Thailand. I don't know if my Thai bank, Ayudyha (Krungsri) reports that to the Thai Tax Office or not, but this has not been a problem for the past 20+ years.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:24:02 +0000Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:23:56 +0000Under Trump, USA has fallen to 26th in Global Corruption Index. 2 years more of his corruption and he will overtake Ferdinand Marcos as the most corrupt leader in world history. Add to his mediocrity as the worst President in US history. Maga should be proud of that.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:23:55 +0000If it is shown that she murdered him then yes she will.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:23:49 +0000She doesn't remember what happened but she knows she didn't kill him?Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:22:49 +0000The Facebook algorithm just introduced me to these folks. They are in Oregon ( no state sales tax) and signficantly cheaper than the service I'm currently using. I'll give them a try next.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:22:27 +0000As are most jobs!Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:22:03 +0000Maybe Rupert Lowe will do a report. 🫢Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:20:43 +0000If that header is the gist of the story then all I can say is that I hope he is not successful... if he is successful it's just one more mockery of the English systemFri, 03 Jul 2026 02:20:22 +0000I think said bank would not care in the least if retirees needing income statements left. Sucks but it is what it is.... Interesting that it is even an issue though because I'm not aware of agencies that "take care" of income requirements and printing statements is easy. Another sign that we aren't special anymore :)Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:19:50 +0000Great expectations. Hope this applies to all human beings accused of murder on this planet. Or any reason for exceptions?Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:19:45 +0000Went to 3 separate banks, cant remember which ones but all in Robinsons mall, each one refusing me a bank account. Even had a residence certificate. i will be trying again this year so just wondered if others had come across this problem in the isaan outback. No longer on extension due to covid but will redo when necessary.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:18:32 +0000Yes, I popped in to confirm. Rather sparse decor, but maybe that's going to change, but a wide-ranging Indian/Thai menu. Just wish they had paper menus to take home and use for home ordering, or a website! Will be trying it on Saturday night...Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:18:30 +0000Good restaurant, too.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:18:28 +0000Ronnie I have had Physical Therapy at BNH and presently at a private clinic J Clinic. Both are good, but I have to say after 40 years of messed-up back to laminectomies and therapy, J Clinic has done more than any therapists in Thailand or Canada. I would suggest seeing the surgeons at BNH. I have been seeing them for 16 years, both for surgeries and any issue with my back. They are the best. For therapy, I would recommend J Clinic. I go to the one across from EMsphere in Phrom Pong. They will also want to see the DVD I got the injections in Canada and had to travel 2 hours by bus to get it, then 2 hours back home. By the time I got back home the effect had worn off.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:17:57 +0000
