  1. While checking my stateside bank account this morning there were 2 unauthorized charges that I am now disputing. Therefore the bank wants to cancel my debit card and issue a new one. As of right now I told them no until I figure out what the quickest way to get a new card delivered to my address here in Thailand. I've been told FEDEX is one way, what else is there that will get me my new card in the fastest most efficient way?

  2. I went by there on my way to Beach Road last night. The fire was already contained and by then the bigger hazard was all the lookey loos (gawkers), which I estimated to be about 5000 and the 200 plus police and police volunteers trying to keep traffic flowing. What a mess, I'm surprised that there weren't any reports of serious traffic accidents in that area.

  3. I am confused about the METV that goes into affect Nov 13. How does that affect a normal tourist visa that is obtained when going through passport control at the airport? Is it true that the tourist visa has been extended to 60 days on arrival for US citizens?

     

    Any clarification of my confusion would be greatly appreciated............Thanks in advance.

  4. I love to read, but even in retirement don't put enough time aside to do it as much as I like. Right now I am reading "Ride the Thunder: A Vietnam War Story of Honor and Triumph". It is an intriguing look into the war from a USMC perspective. It took me back to the year I spent in that war torn country and some pleasant and not so pleasant memories.

  5. Just finished my second cup of 3 in 1 coffee. Getting ready to shower and go to my favorite cafe and have breakfast, then grocery shopping. I've been looking for a job (UGH) to supplement my coffers for my moving to Thailand this fall. If something doesn't pop up soon, I'm going to pack it in, sell everything and make the move. Tired of cold weather, rain and yes even some snow now and then. The weather is getting better, so might get out to do some fishing. Just keep thinking about living in Thailand full time and the great time I had during the 5 weeks I was there in Feb/Mar. I'm very tired of the bullshit here in the good old USA. Every day is getting me closer to "Living the Dream"!!!!!

  6. On my trip to LOS back in mid February, I flew Delta and used the last of my FF miles, consequently I'll be looking for one of the better non USA carriers when I return to retire there this fall. In all actuality Delta was quite good in taking care in the food and drink regimen during all the legs of my flight. However, I always sit in an aisle seat and am always getting my arm/elbow bumped when the stewies go up and down the aisles. Makes it hard to sleep, watch a movie or read. Most of them are old(er) and they can be quite grumpy especially on the last leg to BKK or on the return trip to the west coast USA. I'll really do some extensive searches before I make my next flight to LOS.

    Best thai Dictionary ive ever had... its not a translator exactly, but it is the most handy tool I have when talking to Thai's. Translators are only about 20% accurate when translating from english to Thai... but if you look the words up one at a time, that accuracy approaches 100%, and this app, while not free, is very cheap and very accurate. Gives different examples of each word with intended meaning along with thai translations, and has a real voice (not computerized) to teach you how to speak the Thai equivalent.

     

    It also has a thai script lookup for the reverse for when she wants to tell you something :)

     

    That's the one I have on my phone and hopefully someday I will get to LOS to give it a try.............LOL

  8. Good idea

     

    Why people complain about not getting the bill is beyond me - they got the service and they should cough up. End of as far as I am concerned..............

    You know there global*******************************************, you are nothing but a troll. Are you following MM around the forum and posting something derogatory after all his posts. That's what it looks like to me. Just keep it up and MM will be banning you as he has other inane idiots that have done the same as you are doing right now. I see you've been a member here for less than a month and have managed to make yourself less than popular and you should proof read your posts before posting them.

     

    "End of as far as I am concerned.............." just what the hell sense does this statement make?????????????? You're nothing but a trolling numb nut, get over yourself and move on.

  9. Ok, I haven't been on here for quite some time, at least a week (my choice to see what would happen) and that is a while for me as I used to come on every day for my daily fix of all things Pattaya. It seems that no matter what I have as my default "By Time Period" that I have checked, I get only one topic to read and that is "Movie Quiz Part 8", a topic I have absolutely have no interest in. My bitch or complaint is why? I guess I'll just have to re-register under a different handle so I can see what I want to as for some reason I'm not able to figure out why it isn't working as it was about a month or so ago.

    Any help would be appreciated.
