Jan. 2014, moved here, from Bangkok, in Mar. 2014. Arrived in Bangkok, in Aug. 2014. After 2 months there, the landlady, my wife's cousin, realized that my wife was married to a farang and raised the rent from 10,000 a month to 40,000 a month. That plus the 24 hr. a day noise, traffic, people, and f...

Dr Supakit said that personal protection was still necessary, especially when in crowded areas. He referred to the use of face masks and booster shots of vaccine to stimulate antibody production. How many more than 6 shots do you need? I hope the pill proves to be effective and it's distributed worl...

Le Petomain. A Frenchman in the late 1800s, made his living at the Follies Berger by being able to fart melodies and imitate birds and orchestral instruments. His biography is still
available.

But hey, the PM said, "No big deal." So it must be ok.

All of the last two years sound like Revelation 16. (If I remember the number correctly)

I’m in the UK at the moment where the incidence of catching Covid is increasing quickly (up half a million in a week) - it’ll be interesting to see whether people go back to wearing masks again or carry on as normal? Here’s an article from the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-61995463 In the a...

British humor about pension letters is completely lost on me. I don't have a pension and don't need letters to renew my visa, and you didn't get my humor, was it completely lost on you, or are you just snobbing around?

1000 bht for what?

Yes, this is the inconsistency of Hua Hin Immigration. I was actually blocked from moving upstairs until I produced the evidence. However, as I've mentioned, it depends who you speak to on the day, and the staff seem to have changed recently, except for handdrummer who has kept his I/O locked in a ...

I don't usually add to this thread. However, I was meeting some friends from Korea this afternoon and my wife suggested this restaurant. Passed it many times but never given it a thought. Tumtad Soi 94. Just off 94 close to 'Pizza Garden'. They have a large menu and after today I can say the food q...

The agent route negates the need for a witness, worth a few baht to eliminate a lot of the hassles and unknowns too. I never like to pay someone to do something that I can do myself. At the moment, I have more time than money. There haven't been any unknowns. I follow the rules and my visa is renew...
