  1. I paid the initial fine at the hut in 2016 or so..as a condo owner not reporting myself..have a yellowbook. But having to go in on a Friday after a 25hour plus flight just sucked.
  2. They are dishonest about both wool and cotton content. I buy short sleeve dress shirts in tall size from ll Bean..I wait for the 20% off a d pay 32 USD..free shipping in US. Often made in Malaysia, with cotton from the US or Peru. I bought a few on Sukhumvit in 1998..the fit was good, but they didn't last. Bangkok is a polyester world. Oh, and LL bean wrinkle free is truly no iron, and it dries fast. All those Sukhumvit shirts require ironing. The bottom line is Thailand doesn't play fair on imports and has a serious counterfeiting problem.
  3. Tom Brady was a big player in Sam Bankman's crypto fraud. So he is like the former CEC President times a million. There's about 5000 better looking chicks up at CMU than his supermodel eurotrash wife, too. Denver banned pitbulls, you can look up the wording. About one in a hundred thais are responsible pet owners., and that would give benefit of the doubt to those with large dogs and almost zero land.
  4. I just bought a 63 month CD at 5.5%, interest paid monthly. It is callable, but I have never been burned on that. Funny how the best rates are often for oddball terms. Must be the anti competitive spirit in them. I still have a crush on Kwan at CIMB. Hey, just to piss off the feminazis, let's do a thread on best looking bank tellers. Overall, and individual branches, along with special mention for superstar.
  5. My 90 year old dad is up 14.23% and hasn't made a single trade. Spiders, Diamonds, and of course Contra...
  6. Quit going there when the monkeys realized farang was using Aeon ATM in the basement without fee, and pulled the plug.
  7. Do you think that indicates expectations of Thb strengthening?
  8. The problem for the roof, or the problem with drinking in it all day and trying to stay awake till 2am?
  9. https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/2981673655952341088?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=266966629&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-91keOeCGXCmHADp7EOtgKmkXlYYTBaG9eeKz1J47a7c7SNDSUsr843AElEjWYKtPjorb87yFfydHT42_udude4OgHIkA&utm_content=266966629&utm_source=hs_email Will be 1am BKK time..Friday. it appears these products have been gaining acceptance and are benefitting from advances in compounds/adhesives.
  10. Glad I could assist. You might be surprised how quickly the offerings can change. And another thing the bank mob does is to not allow you to tell them what to do upon maturity...and this goes for LOS, too. You have to go in on the day of maturity, or during a small window around maturity to prevent a roll over that may be crap...very common in the Thai system..you get a 7 month promo, and it auto rolls to a one year paying half or less. They are gambling on you not staying on top of it. Oh, and about a third of the IOs frown at FD..typical resentment of foreigner gaming their system to make a few $$.
  11. JPM. But, the key is to buy them through your brokerage account. Brokered CDs are a thorn in the side of the banking mob. If you asked at a branch, they might tell you less....often much less. Brokered CD gives you the same protection as retail, and the money automatically comes out of your cash reserve account, and is automatically put back in...there are zero lost interest days, and no need for new signature cards, etc....btw, FDRXX is currently yielding 4.77%, but buying CD locks you in, provided they aren't callable. Bank of China-US is offering 5.1 fir 30 days.. they have come down slightly in the past few weeks.
  12. Just bought some 12 month CD at 5.45% in the US. Guess I would rather bank with Jews than monkeys.
  13. Marc from MM Bar in LK passed. A good host. RIP.
  14. I may bite the bullet and pay 100 usd for 28g of this... Oh and about 25% taxes for those without medical card. Dosi D'oh. Around 25% thc.
  15. fyi, gentlemen...www.polyglass.com An Italian company...looks like they are in Singapore or near. Some interesting videos, training, etc.. Also, anyone seen what SCG has nowadays?

  17. Typically, it would be on OSB, which you don't see in LOS. I was looking about a year ago, but have since sold the house. There are some new products out there that are peek and stick, that were traditionally applied with a "hot mop ". I'll find some links and add them I saw them doing a roof in Colombia last week .they were pulling the 20 ft long 4 feet wide sheets directly out of a Maersk shipping container in a flatbed. Likely from china.

  20. The attic needs ventilation.. The ceiling decking needs insulation. If you can simply keep the attic near the outside temp., you are doing well. An attic could be 170f if unvented. Use reflective elastomeric coatings for near flat roofs..
  21. This was life in a Mormon dominated part of Trump Country. 54 THB for 355ml can of SNIPA.....
  22. Saw them at the Arizona State Fair in 1998..5 bucks per ticket..good show, but not as good as Moody Blues years prior...Mex it was..about 3 per gram in the capital. A possession charge could set you back 1500 in fines.
