I reckon Phuket must be one of Russia's most populated islands by now.

286 or 386?

Maybe you should ask the dealer you're buying from what his preference is for receiving the balance.

OP - get the meter checked for accuracy. My condo with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, three adults and four a/c units cumulatively runs about 35 hours of a/c per day at 27 degrees. PEA bill is 3k to 3.5k baht per month depending on season. I won't be getting my meter checked for accuracy.

I believe the underground lottery is way bigger than the government lottery, probably 4x or 5x. And the payout is much higher. Match the last two numbers exactly: pays 1,000 baht per 12 baht wagered. Match the last three numbers exactly: pays 500 baht per 1 baht wagered

My understanding is that Class 1 is the only class that covers you for no third party collision. i.e you drive over a cliff, they will repair or replace. Class 2 and you're on your own.

World Nomads will issue a policy whilst overseas. Great coverage and great service. I claimed for a motorcycle accident and they reimbursed me surgeon's fees of 300K baht in about 5 days.

Slight nod and a Kap at the 7/11 or restaurant. Slight Nod, a casual wat-dee-Kap, and a one-handed wai at chest height to friends of my missus. Although the really attractive ones might get two hands. A sa-wat-dee-khrup (with the R) and a one-handed wai at chest height to the the missus' older relatives, a look of indignant scorn to the younger relations. A sa-wat-dee-khrup tee-rak and a two-handed wai below the chin to my Mia. A sa-wat-dee-khrup and a two-handed wai at forehead height to the boss of my regular bar - she allows me to rack up a weekly bin and gives me a frequent flyer discount.

Have times really changed that much?

Thai drivers don't park their vehicles. They simply cease driving.

The signage which originally said the changes were from Feb 15 have now been overwritten and the effective date is now March 1st. It's logical and expedient that if the sign is being ignored, change the sign.

Google window sill flashing - the principle idea is the same.

Because water in Thailand is able to defy gravity. Seriously, capillary action of water defies gravity. That's how plants and trees absorb water from the soil and transport it to their uppermost leaves and branches. Hold a sheet of tissue paper vertically and gently touch the surface of a glass of water and see what happens - that's capillary action, and your concrete is the tissue paper. Your paint problem is a combination of poor paint preparation, and poor building design that allows water to wick from the outer wall when it rains. Repaint everything correctly, and install a wicking barrier to prevent it happening again.

The kid probably has more square footage in relation to body size than many expat's studio condos.

I would say the paint job is very old, and guaranteed to have been done incorrectly. The paint lifting and bubbling is indicative of poor surface preparation. The "professional" painter probably didn't even clean the surface, let alone seal or prime anything. The rainwater is wicking inwards from the balcony above. The capillary action of the water has got under the paint and into the concrete, and is wicking much further inwards than any rainwater would actually reach. Only solution is a full strip down, allow any residual moisture to dry out, correctly seal and paint. You might want to seal the gap of that outer border area with silicone, and attach an aluminium strip that will prevent further wicking.

I would imagine the (presumably)Israeli pilot's response to a dubious instruction to deviate his flightpath over Yemen or Syria would have been something like "far cough, Noddy".

Now I feel culturally inappropriated.🥸

It's all a devious plan to fill the Thai women's volleyball team with tall, large breasted ladyboys.

Humanity is up in arms over the decline in the polar bear population (which is a false narrative - they're doing just fine, despite the anti-human post-modernist Marxist narrative), but we celebrate the decline of our own population. Huxley's Brave New World is just around the corner, or perhaps we're already there? Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons - what say you?

Split the difference and print in grayscale.

He forgot to reserve the parking spot with his towel earlier in the day - or did he?

Just a suggestion.

Biden to withdraw from the nomination race in Aril/May, and the DNC will select Michelle Obama as the nominee with Newsom as her (his?) running mate.

I once tried sex on the beach, but much prefer a long slow comfortable screw up against a wall with a slippery nipple chaser.

I hope I'm not an unsuspecting background extra in any Walking Street scenes.
