It's good to see the pendulum swing back from the Far-Left toward the center again
Even worse if I suggested COVID vaccine didn't work, masks didn't work, and lockins at home didn't work. I'm not suggesting that of course, because I fear the reaction. -

Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
Not a victim because there is nothig I can do about. Expressing anytype of anger or displeasrure in the Land of Smiles is a faux pas. After years of this I expect it but still sucks. I try and commit faux pas while I roam in the Land of Smiles. -

Mae Sot - Myawaddy border...is it open for US citizens?
Hello friends, Is this border crossing currently open for an exit Thailand/Re-enter Thailand with new stamp scenario? This would be two Yanks. One with retirement visa the other has some kind of a tourist entry. This would be toward the latter part of next month, December. Info online was, per usual, extremely scattered/old/impossible to interpret. Many thank! Bamboozled. -

What are the downsides of a Wise card
Downsides? You may have to maintain a postal mailing address outside of Thailand to obtain and keep your Wise card (at least it used to be that way). I've been living in Thailand since 2019 and just prior to COVID in early 2020 my Wise card expired. Wise would not send a replacement to Thailand. Instead they sent such to a German address I maintain (an address of a friend) who passed the card to another friend and hand delivered the replacement card to me in Feb 2020. I've had to work around this (not deliver card to Thailand) one other time. Wise transfer times can vary, dependent on the currencies involved and the amount being transferred. Further for transfering large very sums of money I find Wise can be more expensive than a bank's swift transfer and currency exchange. Also Wise can be used to transfer money into Thailand, but it can not be used to transfer money out of Thailand. Also, one does not get 'frequent flyer' or other 'points' for using a Wise card. Having typed all the above, I find the Wise card very useful for traveling in different countries in South East Asia, Europe, and in Canada. I believe the amount I save using the Wise card (with its superior exchange rate) is better than trying to build up flyer points on a different card with horrible exchange rates. -

I'd like to tell you, but then I'd be saying it, which is a worse offence than thinking it. -
