Mevius went from b98 to 125. 7/11 @ Morchit bus station charged 131. Back to L&M.

Looking to buy the basic "kindle" but with e-ink feature. Thought maybe someone wants to sell his in order to upgrade. I've checked all the options for ordering from Amazon but decided not to. Have kindle software on my laptop but it's so bulky/uncomfortable. I'm in Buriram but will be in Pattaya end of month.

Thanks baht! I am really sorry for the family, and their daughter, but I can only make suggestions. Got a good one from here, actually. thx again!

I'm not gonna explain to you what steps have already been taken to get to this point. I'm trying to help a Thai family (as an outsider really, from their point of view). Things that you might think are normal and obvious seldom apply when dealing with a Thai family out here, believe me. So, I'm taking steps to maybe find a new approach to help out. Sure did not expect to get flamed for it in "expat issues".

Thanks halfaboy!

Wow, Nus & Dc, you must be perfect people, and know everything. Thanks for your help!

Yeah, sad stuff. Lotta evil out there. Thx Gents!

Sister-in-law (beautiful but no brains) got suckered by an offer of "big money for sex in Malaysia". Had not heard from her for two years, until recently, a phone call from her was a plea for help, that she escaped her controllers (or whatever I should call them) with her NEW BABY. wtf. She feared for her life for attempting the escape. Well, that was four months ago, and no more phone calls. I really fear for her - might even be dead. Anyway, anybody know any government agency or private investigators who work on cases like hers? Phone calls to Consulate resulted in a need for more info about her, like her location- DUH! While I find it hard to sympathize with her after her stupid decisions, I can't help thinking about how she must be suffering. She also has a Thai kid out here in Buriram with his grandparents (standard). Thanks!

Sounds good. My girlfriend & I have a house in Buriram and need a change of scenery badly, probably for the month of October. What Soi is the condo on please? Thanks!

I am not happy with TOT satellite. Amazingly inconsistent. TOT says we have to keep(pay) for one year's service before we can cancel service. I think "Blue Tooth" might be the best thing going out here in Buriram.

I heard last month that Korat Immigration was shutting down. I heard today that they are not. Hope "closing" was a rumor. I'm living one hour from Korat so I would have a BIG travel difference if I have to go BKK or PTY. Thanks for any info you might have.

So life in a communist country goes on. (Hopefully) Wish I could offer advice for you. I dread to think what the "official" will require for my next retirement visa renewal. Now that the baht has been artificially inflated, I might be borderline financially. Bad luck would be to be processed by the boss-bitch at Korat who told my wife that she is "tired of falang". Good luck wiould be the guy who only wanted to see the embassy affidavit which validates my retirement income. If it wasn't for the woman I love, I'd be outta here and never think about "LOS" again. Never used to be so negative. Good Luck to ya!

"The Korat immigration office has announced that it may close' Oh God, another, possibly-big inconvenience for me out here in Buriram. But, I won't miss that bitch-boss in Korat, who, while processing my check-in, told my wife that she is "tired of falangs". Maybe she's tired of her fucking paycheck too.

Retirement auto deposit into Fifth Third Bank. Automatic, monthly-repeating wire transfers from 5/3 to my Thai account with Bangkok Bank. I had no problem opening an account with BB. I have a retirement visa.

Trying to find a satellite tv company which can provide American news and sports like CNN/Fox/ESPN out here in Nongki. I found Dynasat, a company which steals signals (they say legally for a home), up to 600 channels, BUT they say the signal can be lost anytime if the tv channel scrambles there signal and it could take a long time for the company to modify their software to get the signal back. Thanks!
