  1. I remember years back at the Chonburi immigration I showed them my monthly retirement income from my annual retirement statement from the “Office of personnel management retirement division” from the U.S. government and they accepted it. But! That was before the pandemic.
  2. แล้วแต่คุณ
  3. I’m born and raised in Hawaii. Hawaiian pizza was created by a Greek chef in Canada. It has nothing to do with Hawaii
  4. By her spelling maybe she’s uneducated in the Thai written language or maybe she’s not Thai. Be careful!
  5. I had diverticulitis and had to go to Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. After I stabilized I decided to fly to Hawaii to consult with my doctor. It was about three months prior before I would renew my retirement visa so I knew I wouldn’t make it back in time. Immigration at Jomtien said they do it for 19,000 baht. That was before the pandemic so I don’t know if the policy is the same for emergency situations.
  6. While in Hawaii Bangkok bank New York wouldn’t let me do a domestic transfer to an account number which is linked to my Bangkok Bank Pattaya. I’m back in Pattaya and have Wise.com take from my American Savings Bank in Hawaii right to my Bangkok Bank in Pattaya showing an international transfer every time. I have no problems. Make sure when they ask for the reason you scroll down to where it says for long term stay in Thailand.
  7. I downloaded the Iherb app and order all my coffee from them (I believe they are U.S.). When you order a certain amount it’s free shipping but it takes 10 to 14 days. I had no problem so far!
  8. Mont Fleur and Aura seems to be the two top rated mineral waters. That’s the two brands I buy.
  9. I’m from Hawaii and we’re called the “Aloha State”. On following up on that I learned that most countries are given their nick names by the tourist industry to draw tourists in. The people from that area aren’t even asked what their nickname should be. I’m 72 born, raised and retired in Hawaii but now I’m living in Thailand. I have plenty of Aloha (which means Love)!
  10. I’m an American and made my will last week at Magna Carta in Pattaya. The main branch is in Bangkok. 7K baht for the last will and 5K baht for the Living will.
  11. When I send anything from Pattaya to anyplace and I forget to use EMS for tracking it doesn’t get there. They got your money you spent on sending it and they must throw it away. But, when I sent it by EMS for tracking it always gets there because they don’t want to lose face that they are responsible and have to compensate you!
  12. Bangkok Pattaya Hospital just got Maderna and they will give the shots for free but you need an appointment.
  13. I’m with Kaiser in Hawaii. Even if you have HMSA you can’t use it out here. When I had a hernia operation I had to pay in full. Then when I went back to Hawaii I had to show the bill to Kaiser and they reimbursed me most of it. I have Pacific Cross in Thailand but if I have any type of medical procedure I have to pay in full then give it to Pacific Cross and they’ll reimburse on what they see fit.
  14. I bought mine from the clothing section at Lotus. I also seen them in the clothing section of Big C extra.
  15. I went to Pattaya Memorial Hospital and had a hernia surgery. I know a British guy that had one a week earlier. Both of us had our hernias come back. I went to Hawaii and got another surgery. My surgeon in Hawaii said the first surgery they used hardly any mesh. Don’t go to Pattaya Memorial Hospital!
