I use my motorcycle horn every single time I feel it will make me safer. And that is often in Bangkok. Usually just a short beep beep to make sure that the other driver (who I assume is a moron that I suspect is about to endanger me) knows I am there. If they continue in their lunacy they get several long beeps and if that doesn't work I lay on the horn til they stop. To heck with politeness Thai style when it's my body in danger. Never had a problem with anyone confronting me in 20 years of driving in Thailand.

But but but he is old! Never a discussion about policy because the only policies the Republicans have are deeply unpopular. Restrict and ban abortion. Lower taxes on the wealthy. Less environmental regulation. A for profit health care system with little government regulation. Etc. Etc. Etc.

That's what I ended up using as it also came with signature on delivery. I couldn't figure out my options on the Thai Post website and the clerk didn't really want to describe cheaper options. That is fine. It is already on the USPS tracking site showing acceptance at the Thai post office. No hurry for delivery as I already paid my taxes online and filed for an extension so there are no penalties for late submission.

Although I can't agree with your lack of capital letters, I agree with your sentiment. Let's face it though, no Republican candidate would be discussing policy.

Thanks. Exactly what I needed to know!

I have to mail in my tax return to the USA. The timing is not important so I don't want the expense of EMS but I would like tracking or confirmation that it arrived. Which Thailand Post product will work for that or is that only available with EMS? Thanks.

Out of stock at Gourmet Market at Paragon. I'm not actually looking for it. Tabasco is not my favorite. I just noted recently that it was out of stock everywhere I went. I cook a lot of Tex-Mex.

Hmmm. Not at Big C Rajadamri.

Tops, Villa, Central Market in Bangkok are all out.

Some Americans will understand: No Tabasco in stock. Crystal not available anymore. Franks Hot Sauce may be running low but is still on Tops online. Louisiana Hot Sauce may be running low but is still on Tops online. There are a few overpriced sellers on Lazada and Shopee. Reminds me of the Great Refried Beans Fiasco of 2009 when Villa arbitrarily decided that Casa Fiesta refried beans needed to triple in price overnight before coming to their senses a few months later.

Only a moron would not at least consider the possibility that what is being reported might not be the whole story or might have elements lacking in truth. Before you condemn them ask yourself the question: Am I a moron? That said, maybe they did act violently against the police. I don't know.

Actually, the point of my starting this thread was to find a toaster that toasts well, not one that lasts a long time. By toast well I mean fully browned evenly on both sides. I was unclear about that. However, it is also true that all my toasters have eventually malfunctioned, usually because one bank of the heating elements stops working. All of them have been Thai or Chinese brands costing around 300 baht.

I have an Electrolux toaster oven. The on/off knob is a twist timer to the right that is completely smooth. Impossible to turn with the slightest moisture on my hand and if you turn it off and go slightly too far to the left it is designed to stay on. I have done that accidentally a few times and only noticed the toaster oven blazing away a half hour later. There is no possible way Electrolux does not know about this design flaw. I'm guessing it has caused more than one kitchen fire. There are discussions of it online. So, it seems to me that something ain't like it used to be at Electrolux.

I don't think any land office is going to allow the holder of a usufruct to register a long term lease to a third party that extends beyond the death of the usufruct holder. That is just some foreign lawyer's idea of what the rights of the usufruct holder include and, as far as I know, it has never happened. However, I would be happy to be proven wrong. Foreign lawyers come up with these legal theories and parade them as fact.

I've probably had 5 cheap toasters over the years in Thailand and all were mediocre. Any suggestions for a truly good toaster in 1000-1500 baht range? All the recommended ones on consumer reports etc. are not available here. I like to toast an occasional bagel and whole wheat bread. Thanks!

At that price it is certainly fake, but if it works, it works.

Wow! That is great. Thanks for posting.

Everybody involved was struggling with how to confront an evolving public health emergency, so yes, there was confusion and lies and people looking to profit and conspiracy theorists etc. etc. etc. You want the truth, you can't handle the truth and the truth is that lots of decent people were doing there best and there was no massive conspiracy.

Well, it seems unlikely to me that you bought Stilnox OTC in Thailand. I guess it is possible that someone was selling smuggled Indian Stilnox. Just curious, how much did you pay and where was it? I have seen pharmacists in tourist areas sell people antihistamines for sleep when they ask for Xanax and tell them they are getting "same same" Xanax.

I've bought all my Kindles from Amazon USA and they have always been cheaper and come with Amazon warranty. Not sure about the 32 GB model though. International Version – Kindle Oasis – Now with adjustable warm light - 8 GB, Graphite 4.4 out of 5 stars 233 100+ bought in past month $269.99$269.99 Delivery Wed, Mar 13 to Thailand Order Summary Subtotal (1 item): $269.99 Shipping & handling: $10.44 Total before tax: $280.43 Estimated tax to be collected: $0.00 Import Fees Deposit: $27.16 Order total: $307.59

An appointment will make it somewhat less painful if you have to go in person: https://gov.immigration1.queueonline.net/appointment/login.html?v31 Mine was rejected 3 times this week and finally accepted on the 4th submission. Exactly the same. Go figure.

Happy ending to the story: I received this at 5:01 this evening after resubmitting this morning for the 4th time. I'll never know why. Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been approved. THIS IS NOT AN EXTENSION OF STAY PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR ADDRESS AGAIN ON : 2024-05-22 (UTC +7) Full Name : Passport No : Nationality : Approved Date : 2024-02-22 17:01:21 (UTC +7)

It is indeed inconvenient.

Thanks for your advice. Like we say in Texas, with a wink and a smile ... Bless your heart.
