Please wake me up when someone has their retirement extension refused because they do not have a Thai tax number. Until then, it's all ifs, buts and maybes.

Check your apps, and disable the data function. Use WiFi only. I had the same situation in Oz. Quite a few game apps quietly nibble in the background.

My Thai GF would think your post is deranged.

Trump supporters never had a mind to lose. Sheeple.

How ripe do the tanktops have to get before you change?

I proved the brand I bought works, by leaving it outside the house in a dark place which I knew had mosquitoes. I scored a dozen before the rechargeable battery ran flat, which takes about 4-5 hours. Presumably the device is intended for indoor use, while one is sleeping. In a house with insect screens, that is only the odd mosquito. The instructions do say it works much better with no other light sources. Your comment simply demonstrates you have a closed mind.

Apparently UV light only works if it is on a very specific wavelength which attracts mosquitos, UV generated across a wider spectrum will not. I recently bought one, brand Zappify. It works. There are probably a lot of brands that don't.

Trump makes bond when the court says so. He doesn't when you assert a lie as a fact.

I am the fact police, and you posted a lie. Trump has not made bond. Like the fact Trump was involved in over 4000 legal cases BEFORE 2016. Probably another one coming from Truth Social Suckers shareholders. Don't kid yourself you deserve my attention. You're more like a mosquito I turn the bug zapper on for, in the evening.

Possibly we are moving in different social circles, not that I am a party animal. The women I am in contact with mostly staff small shops, restaurants etc. I am obviously lucky, my GF has worked in the rice fields. Most men meeting her for the first time think she is mid-thirties. She is 57 yo. I'd agree Thai rural society appears to be matrilineal, land seems to be passed down by inheritance on the distaff side. I'd disagree on the banter observation, I've had some very direct overtures from Thai women, they were not kidding. I attribute that to finances, not good looks. As for medical and dental, government hospitals are 30 baht for a Thai. The dental profession seems to be mainly about straightening teeth. IMO Thais don't get many cavities. They drink a lot of tea ( cha ) which is rich in fluorides.

He has posted bond from a California company whose NTA is less than the bond amount, and his lawyers are arguing NY laws don't apply to an out-of-state company. I expect Engoron will toss it out soon, if not him, an appeals court judge.

Kennedy picked Johnson as his VP, even though he distrusted him. Because Johnson was without peer as an influencer and arm-twister.

Trump's tactics are delay, delay, delay. While the prosecutors, judge, and defendant's lawyers argue over whether the bond is genuine, it buys him more time. IMO the cash is not there, or subject to some obscure clause in the fine print . If/when Trump loses the appeal the cash won't be there to be seized in satisfaction of the awarded damages.

While I agree with some of your post, IMO it is not at all difficult to find women here in their middle 30's and onwards. I don't disagree they are all looking for financial security. There seems to be a considerable cohort of Thai men who regard women in their thirties as having reached their use-by date, judging by the comments I have had by Thai women. Divorce or desertion in that age bracket is apparently very common. Thai women do tend to age well, I have encountered quite a few in their forties who IMO are still stunners.

Do you prefer melons from the top shelf, or bottom shelf?

I don't flirt. I am old, but not desperate. I don't know why, but there's been quite a few Thai women who have flirted with me.

I stock up on all kinds of good stuff to eat. I only go out in the car. Unlike alcoholics, who always seem to have no booze when it is an alcohol ban day, and whinge about the cruel world on ASEAN.

Calls to Australia with Thai service providers such as TrueMove are quite cheap, I rarely spend more than 100 baht making appointments etc. For calls to friends, there are plenty of choices with a WiFi connection or data plan. I only use WiFi. There is WhatsApp, LINE, MEET and ZOOM. MEET and Zoom are probably best in terms of video quality.

I can remember a portable BP monitor at a Chiang Mai dental clinic which gave the usual white coat reading, which had the staff in a flap. They calmed down when I pointed out the date on the calibration sticker on the back, which was more than 5 years old.

My body won't have to move, the village has a crematorium. She also has a Thai lawyer to do the probate. We have enough in a joint account for her to live on for more than a year. I don't know what dealing with the Oz embassy entails, and don't particularly care either. Tell me what it is they do which is essential.

I use a wrist monitor, it reads close to a doctor's instrument. I have severe white coat syndrome. I took a week's worth of readings to my local GP. Average 125/65. I am not on any blood pressure medication. In his presence, the wrist monitor read 184/ 95. His reading was 191/99. That does have me wondering how many doctors are prescribing BP medication unnecessarily.

IMO my GF will not be fazed at all by the task, she has proved to me multiple times she can negotiate the intricacies of Thai officialdom. As for Australian bureaucracy, they can kiss my hairy butt.

How much does AsiaOne charge for this service?

Do not give up your day job.

Why? I thought you had embraced celibacy.
