  1. The look on her face! 🤣🤣🤣 splat.mp4
  2. My sister's apartment in San Diego had two dumpsters: one for recyclables, and one for non-recyclable trash. I watched the garbage truck empty both of the dumpsters into the same compartment on the back of the truck. Recycling, indeed.
  3. Thanks for that generous offer, but I'm already committed to a Thai paralegal to represent me at the Land Office and then to forward the money to me.
  4. Thanks. I get the clear feeling that I wouldn't be able to get (all of) the money out of Thailand while I remain overseas, which means Plan C (the paralegal) seems the way to go. The paralegal was recommended by the real estate agency, and I've done a purchase and a sale from them and I do have confidence in the agency. The paralegal said: "... if you want us to transfer money for you then for the final payment of this condominium unit, the buyer has to buy a cashier’s cheque and payable to our name in order that we can transfer on your behalf." I'm going to email the owner of the agency and get his reassurances that this is a safe and reliable procedure and that he has confidence with this paralegal. He is well regarded in the Pattaya area.
  5. I'm expecting to close a condo sale in Pattaya next month and have given a Thai paralegal Power of Attorney to represent me at the Land Office. The proceeds will go into my Bangkok Bank savings account, but I live permanently in Mexico. Can I then transfer the money out of Thailand from either the Bangkok Bank web site or their smart phone app? I have a DeeMoney account that I've had a long time and never used, and they have a maximum of B800k per transfer, but I guess that could work as a Plan B? Anybody see any reason why I couldn't keep making B800k transfers until it's all overseas by using their smart phone app from overseas? (I would need to make four transfers, and I would be transferring to a USA bank.) As Plan C, the paralegal says she can do it for another THB10,000 fee, but of course, if I don't need to pay that, I won't.
  6. Good job trying to get it into the bottle. I had a family of golden tree snakes in a house and they always escaped to things with holes in them, like the back of a TV cabinet with holes for wires, into the open ends of the square iron support beams in the roof, etc. Maybe if it hadn't been a clear bottle, it might have worked. Clearly the guy knew it wasn't a harmful snake.
