Imagine how many additional idiots would be here if above would be true.

It seems some shops want to sell finance and collect commissions for that. Maybe they charge extra if someone wants to just buy a bike without finance and without them earning commission on that.

It seems to me many of these preachers get paid to do whatever they do. And they have quotas how many sign up. Personally, I wouldn't mind if I had an office near that soi. Nice for a lunch break or afternoon tea time.

Imagine, there are even condominiums with 30 or 40 floors and even more...

Ok, I am sure you have your experience. And it is also well known that kids, and not only kids, want attention. If they don't get as much as they want then they will find ways to get more attention. In this case it seems now he has the attention. Obviously, I don't know any details of this case and it is certainly not always just the usual. But in general, I think we can agree that kids with parents who take care of them are less likely to do attention seeking things.

One day it will certainly stop. On both eyes, and everywhere else. 😉

You must the very old to call these things laptop. I remember that name from when I was young. I always recommend ThinkPad. They are simply the best. https://www.lenovo.com/th/en/d/deals/express/

No, in condominiums we all get deliveries all the time. Food, furniture, toilet paper, everything. And of course, we all work at home. We never go out of the buildings. Didn't you know that?

As far as I see you can get all the basic electrical MCBs and RCBOs, etc. here. But if you want to buy the good things, then buy RCBOs Type A in the UK. I tried to get them in Thailand, but it seems in Thailand nobody knows they even exists. I think in the UK they are now mandatory for new installations over there.

Our condominium had a couple of people working in the management. All hired directly. We had problem. The committee suggested we hire a management company, and that management company hires people and controls them. Now the situation is much better. There are still things to fix which they old management caused, but we have progress.

Who took care of him in the last couple of years? It seems his parents were in America. Maybe he behaves the way he does because he thinks his parents don't care. So now it seems he has the attention of his parents. I suggest first thing contact a psychologist and find out what went wrong. And then it seems your son needs his parents...

What does he say? I only hear beep, beep, beep.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. The ACs are new, and likely I will be able to use the same cables again even with new ACs. But in principle I like when things are service friendly. And isolation wool is certainly easier to remove compared to stiff foam.

In theory it's possible that someone can do that. But I am not brave enough to do that at about 100m height.

I don't think they are allowed to cut off your water of electricity. But the way you describe them that is no reason for them not to do it. It seems you and probably other co-owners have a big problem to solve, remove that management? Did you talk with the other owners? Did you talk with the committee? If something happened like the total overcharging, I would bring this up at the general meeting with everybody watching. This is what they charged, and this is what it cost (print it out). And then look what happens. We had a bad management in our condominium. This was only possible because some owners broke the rules, and the management was quiet. "Good" owners would agree with you to get rid of a corrupt management.

I have this hole in the wall to outside with cables for the ACs. This is in a high floor condominium. We don't have rats or any other such animals outside on the high floors. I want to close it for better isolation. What is the best way to do this? Should I use PU foam spray? Any other ideas?

a) I am not from the UK b) Do you really want to argue that if one country has a bad politicians you also want one in your country?

Thanks for your info. That obviously makes sense.

About an hour ago I ordered some food. According to Google Maps the distance from my home is 2.4km. I know the way. There is sure traffic, but with a motorcycle it is manageable. After waiting for some time, I checked the FoodPanda tracking of my order, and I discovered that the rider took a route which just doesn't make any sense. Maybe two or three time longer than necessary and also in traffic. I wonder if the rider had no clue how to get to Sukhumvit, or he is instructed to ride according to their navigation system, which suggest a crazy route, or what. Do you know how this works? Could the rider take a different, shorter route, if he knows one?

All the time!

You are not alone. It's great that we have experienced people who share their knowledge with us. 😉

I think this forum often show how to do and how not to do it. Ask a reasonable question and you will get answers. Some good, some not so good, but mostly there is good advice in there. And then there are the new posts like: Let me show you how to do this or that. Or Mr X in Thailand or something like that. Mostly useless.

I guess it might be interesting for someone who is new in town. It seems to me that some people love their role to tell everybody else how much they know and how things work and all that. Lots of YouTubers are like that and I am sure there will be people like that in local clubs. I try to avoid them, because often they think they know a lot more than they actually do. Personally, if I want advice, I ask people who I know already and who I know are not just people who talk a lot without knowing what they talk about. Many of us know many people who know many people. Personal advice from someone recommended is always the best.

Does it matter who pays the commission? At the end of the day the buyer, or the person who rents a place, pays for it. If I want to but a place and it is sold for i.e. 3m or 4m then the seller pays 3% from that amount. Where does the money come from? Obviously from the buyer. And any agent wants as much commission as possible, higher prices = higher commission.

As we all know, he is a very sick man. Make sure he has a comfortable bed in a quiet room at home so that he can rest in peace. Old sick men don't travel.
