  1. Yep, simple explanation, but a foreigner's going to get locked up and deported.
  2. an acquaintance did it at a public hospital in BKK last October without an overnight hospital stay
  3. Worked at a school where one of the teachers was often retrieving sacks from the bushes close to the school during break.
  4. They wanted me to change from my default ACH to debit/credit card last month, so I used Moneygram instead. Yes, the Moneygram transfer was deposited directly into my bank account, and I don't think I lost much because the fee was very low, and the deposited amount was more than what I'd have received had I used the funding method requested by Wise.
  5. Took everything available in Thailand for more than 10 years and started ordering Excedrin. However, one day, I went to Makro on Kanchanaphisek Rd not far from Rama 2 Rd because my excedrin shipment was late and I'd had a very bad tension migraine for days, and the pharmacist on duty asked me to read about preventing migraine instead of damaging my liver from taking those drugs. She wrote a drug for migraine prevention on a piece of paper which she asked me to look for. I did a lot of reading online and found out that various supplements could help because I was unable to find the particular drug she'd recommended. After only a couple of months, the migraine became less frequent and subsequently stopped. I have been free from migraines for almost 10 years now. That Makro pharmacist was a lifesaver. She told me what none of the numerous doctors I visited in over 10 years, not even doctors in those expensive hospitals in the Silom Rd area, told me. I went back after about 3 months to thank her, but she walked away as soon as she saw me approaching.
  6. The Bangkhunthian office refused to put a condo in my 16-year-old daughter's name last year, so as much as I hate it, it was registered in her uncle's name.
  7. I'm very sure we can still come up with news reports of thaksin visiting his grandparents home/hometown in China while he was prime minister.
  8. there's just going to be another round of protests, and possibly another military coup to sort out the mess
  9. Was there on my last visit, which was about 4 months ago. The food and service were okay. And if you're going to drive, there's a parking garage on the opposite side. You pay B100 for the parking, hand the receipt over at the restaurant, and you get a refund.
  10. There was a guy from the Netherlands doing that there in 2021/2002. We bought him snacks and beverages, but he insisted on money. Don't really remember if we obliged him, but we were aware that was his source of income at the time.
  11. Let's just hope he didn't try to extort Pita and his party as well.
  12. About 15 years ago, we booked a hotel in Rayong that advertised FREE beach chairs, both on its website and booking.com, which turned out to be a lie as we were approached 5 minutes after sitting down for 30 baht per head. I would have paid for my ex and myself after the man explained that the chairs weren't owned by the hotel, but he also demanded payment for my 2-year-old who was playing in the sand. We simply got off and left. The said hotel was located in a secluded area, and the entire beach, just across from the hotel, was always deserted. However, somehow, the man arrived on a moped to demand payment after we picked up and dusted the chairs which were scattered all over from the previous night's storm, and sat.
