Do you shower before going in to swimmingpool?

I just a rinse off...I save the soapy stuff for Bkk -
So the owner has 5k baht to clean up the mess…if no damage just collecting trash and cleaning the rental….that cost is way less than half the deposit so the owner actually made a few baht should have collected the extension monies in advance forcing the renters to clean the place if they wanted their deposit back (which is always at the iffy/mercy of the owner)

cardinalblue replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
The point is the poster is correct...You invite theft though obviously the thieves have had no idea bike values... Where i come from which is the bike capital of America, only 10% of bikes are recovered...Very sophisticated pro bike thieves at work...Not stupid enough to do what happened here -

not smart to lock such an expensive bike outside and at night... Not smart to list on FB asap -
I am not going to quibble. Living in Thailand is 1/5 of the cost of living in the USA. The US does adjust for COLA regardless of overseas living so we are lucky. I do understand why countries don't give adjustments. We are talking big money savings to those countries given it is so much cheaper to live overseas...

Pretty sure the child can’t leave thailand on an expired thai passport but can come back if the passport expired when the child was gone… I just got my 14 year old child her new thai passport and they wanted to see my passport and my wife’s thai ID/passport and we both had to sign a screen document what I don’t know is what you have to do if one or both parents are not present with necessary documents… must be a way given that parents divorce die or out of province/country good news is they delivered it by post within one week to home address at least in Chiang Mai

Hopeful the midterm elections swing both houses but that will be too late….Vance has no chance in 2028….won’t even be on the ticket….recession will slow growth to a trickle….the number to watch will be the unemployment rate…. best strategy for US trading partners is to boycott US products and sell to China and Asia
