If you're feeling adventurous and / or want to go directly to the source, many of the shops that do the actual sewing are in the alleys west of the Ratchathewi station. Definitely a sich you'll want...

I have two accounts with Vanguard and one with Fidelity. Currently talking with Mason but probably not going to do anything with them. Mostly just humoring a *really* rich old friend who put me in...

A tempting option LOL.

Thirty years ago it was advice. Yes it was useful. Today I'm retired (early! Still about 10 years away from SS) and the conversations are mostly about tax strategies. Pretty...

Well, none of them except Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, Mason, etc. (Honesty, I've never spoken with Schwab. Betcha they'd say the same as the others though.) I'm going to guess you've never spoken...

Well, yeah. That's why SuperRich is actually a pretty good answer. They aren't the absolute best rate in town, but they're always right up there near the top. Plus they're basically everywhere. No...

You stumbled upon Tung Sri Mueang. It only runs from Dec. 1 to about the 15th. (Duration varies for some mysterious Thai reason.) The regular weekend walking street is much smaller. In either case,...

Technically needs a prescription, but this is Thailand.

Some of the mom and pop shops will sell Ultracet (tramadol + paracetmol) without a prescription, but not the big chains I. E. Boots,...

Well, yes and no.

Not pointing fingers. Most of the guys here have been around the block enough times to indeed make the 3 day rule, as you say, silly.

But there are plenty of freshly divorced...

I'm renting a condo in a building I quite like just across the river (Thon Buri side), and was thinking of maybe buying a unit. Decided against it, as I'm done with Bangkok. But that's another story....

I know this is the Vietnam / HCM board, but while there's a discussion of where in the world is the best mongering going on: I'm two years living in Thailand now. Had a civilian Brazilian girlfriend...

I've taken the overnight from BKK to Udon and back a couple times recently. Always solo, so 2nd class. That is, not a private room just a curtained off bunk. Some cars are newer than others, no idea...

In non-app related reports:

Despite the legend of all the lookers in Thailand coming from the far reaches of Issan, the massage shops here in Ubon are full of regular Thai plumpers. They're game,...

I didn't want to leave the lump sitting in a Thai bank making 0%, so instead I have it sitting in an American bank at 0. 25% (or some other shit rate. I don't even know what it is, but it's shit.)...

FTT, FTF code? Can't remember exactly. I'm on the road at the moment, so no bankbook in hand but you're absolutely correct. This is the code that Immigration wants to see and the "Funds for long stay...

The only reason I'm down on SR at the moment is because it's so heavily tourist dependent, and the recent re-opening hasn't brought back the tourists yet. There's 20 touts waiting to pounce on every...

I'm really sorry to hear so many of you guys had a bad time in PP. I had a great time. I find the Khmer girls sweeter and better looking than the Thais. (I live in Thailand.) You don't get catered to...

Any of the massage shops within the first couple blocks of the river plaza. Say from St 118 to St 154 ish. The tell is older women women working. Massage shop staff tend to be all youngsters or all...

Went out again last night (Sunday), and feel like I need to revise my previous report of "alive and kicking," from Friday night. It's alive, but things were substantially more subdued. Maybe because...

PP is alive and kicking. Can't compare it to pre-covid as it's my first time here, but the bars in the river district are open. Plenty of cute young (legal!) girls but not so many customers. I asked...

If your priorities are Beaches and P4 P, in that order, then Kata and Karon are okay. The nightlife / girlie bar scene is much stronger in Patong, so if that's your top priority then that's where you...

I know this wasn't what was originally asked, but since Boater1788 brought it up;.

I ported my US cellphone number over to Google Voice for a one time fee of $20, no recurring monthly charges. I...

To the auto generated extra spaces and other auto formatting weirdness that happens on this site:

I met Jackson (founder of these forums, if you didn't know) way way back in the day when the WSG...

I came through the Sandbox in August. Clearly the rules have changed many times since then, and at this point they're changing day by day. That said, the hardest part of making entry is getting on...

OK, I misread your original post as you'd get the 30 day extension for 500 baht. Impossible at that price. That's what I was trying to get at. My misread, my bad.

The 60 day extension is a special...

I'm no visa agent, so take this with a grain of salt: Whatever residency paperwork you needed for your initial visa should already have been done as part of sandbox / COE / ASQ / T&G, however you...
