  1. Drivers Education the scare films, I think it was called "Highway of Death". There was this head on crash where they picked up a victim and her brains fell out of her head. This didn't faze my friend Craig, there was this accident he went around the accident at high speed on his motorcycle, the tow truck cable decapitated him.
  2. Arrived from Manila Monday 4:20PM all Immigration Booths queued up with one person waiting, and it took 5 minutes to get through immigration.
  3. I understand compounding and appreciate your point. But we were talking the 3.2 percent SS cola raise, so anybody getting that raise is at least 62 years old now and most will be long gone in 30 years and the ones around won't be able to spend it. I make well over 100k a year in retirement income and make nowhere near 4k a month in SS. As FBY said, the SS COLA is just beer money.
  4. Thanks! Just came back from Manila, now in Pattaya.
  5. Second that one! When calculating the 3.2% Dollar amount, do you revert to your first SS Gross total or your current gross SS payment? For me about a $25 difference.
  6. Not bad, about the same time on Soi Post Office I got 36.09 Baht.
  7. Dynamic pricing a shrewd business owner. Fortunately, I usually exchange during the day. I did do one exchange there last year at 10 PM.
  8. For me that's not a problem, when in BKK I go to Vasu (which has better rates than the SupeRich Nana). Additionally, Damini is open 24 hours 7 days.
  9. Sunday TT posting US 35.40 went to Damini Exchange on Soi Post Office got 35.48. I found Damini consistently higher than anyone else last year and this year in Pattaya.
  10. Additional note: I also had Apple AirTags in my two carryon bags and their locations were always reported as correct. I suspect I was self-reporting via my iPhone. The AirTag reporting network is dependent on random contact with an Apple product "ping range" to tap into network location reporting feature.
  11. Location reporting inaccuracies?? Or one piece was routed to wrong plane, discovered, and rectified without coming in contact/updated within Apple Product ping range to update location. Because after 10-hour flight location status was the same as take-off status location displaying one piece on wrong plane.
  12. Because testimonials like this and Singapore airlines lost one of my suitcases for 5 days. I picked up Apple airtags for $22 each for this trip. I watched my luggage flow through the airport and onto my plane except for one piece. The app located it on another plane across the tarmac from my plane. So, I inquired at the transit airport about the location of my luggage, the airline assured me both pieces were aboard my flight (they were aboard). I had a late flight and paid for FastTrack service to expedite the airport exit and did not want to be delayed for hours.
