  1. Massive street protest may happen when it's about something important. If an old corrupt man dies in hospital or at home isn't important. The last election showed us that having the last name Shinawatra is not good enough anymore to win an election. It seems slowly Thais learn that if they vote for corrupt individuals then they end up with a corrupt government. Having said all that, let's look what happens if Thaksin is in the wild again. Will he finally shut his mouth? Or will he continue with his revenge? If it gets too bad, then people can still protest.
  2. I wonder how many people think he is not there without having any evidence. If you have any evidence then please tell us. And you heard Nit telling Noi about it is not good enough.
  3. Or maybe I am well informed but I don't listen to the "experts" which you like. I am sure you will have your favorite influencer who tells you what you like to hear in your bubble.
  4. What would you do if you see that the air quality at your home is bad? Probably you would buy an air purifier. Air purifiers have an air quality meter build in. So maybe skip the step to buy a meter and buy an air purifier. I can recommend the MI brand air purifier for about 4000B.
  5. Thanks for your comment. Have you read the other comments. It seems there are often enough some incidents. What I do now: I bought a 3m water inlet hose and I connect the machine on a valve which is under the sink which I have easy access to. I can close it anytime I want. And I just ordered water sensors for my home automation. If there is a leak then I will be informed right away, also if I am not at home. So worst case I can call the building management to close the water valve outside of my condominium. Is this all necessary? No. But it's a little investment for the peace of mind. And that is a good investment. Aqara Water Immersing Sensor https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001145771136.html
  6. My gf is different. She won't do that. ;)
  7. Today I measured the water pressure in my condominium in the 3x floor. 3 bar. I have all new water supply pipes. I am not sure if that makes a difference.
  8. Thanks, I bought them both and received them already. Both are exactly the same and they look sturdy.
  9. There was a time when nobody would have voted for such a person. Times have changed in America, the land of the free and all that.
  10. A long time ago in a cold country far away I saw a movie. In it a guy was wearing moccasins without socks in cold weather. A girl in the movie fancied him and thought that looks very sexy. At that time, I thought, ok, let's try that. And I never wore socks again. In the hindsight I can't confirm that all girls were exited about this. ;)
  11. I know two owners who played with their girls and paid them well. And one manager who didn't pay well, if at all. Other owners and managers who have a wife or gf don't play around in their own bars because they know they can't keep it a secret forever.
  12. In the description is written "Support Mini Computer WOS Pro". I am pretty sure that is not the same as Windows 11 Pro. And that likely means that at least some applications, maybe many, won't work on that system. Maybe this is no problem for you, but you should be aware of that fact. I buy PC (parts) including Intel NUC here: เดสก์ท็อป / ออลอินวัน / มินิพีซี (DESKTOP / ALL IN ONE / MINI PC) (jib.co.th)
  13. The official, and maybe some unofficial, regulations are different between different embassies. I was several times in Phnom Phen. Years ago, they wrote they need 3 working days for the Non-B visa and that was the case at that time. Maybe half a year ago the Thai embassy in Phnom Phen had a sign outside that Non-B would take (I think) 5 working days. That means one week in real life. I was there on a Monday and applied for a visa. I had already booked the hotel for a week. When I applied, they told me to come back to pick up the visa on Thursday, and it was ready on that day. Another confusing part (for me) was that on the little piece of paper which they gave me to pick up the passport was written "1". I interpreted that as 1pm to pick up the passport and I arrived at that time. But the embassy was closed. I think it opened at 1:30 or 2pm. When I finally was in the embassy, I asked them about the "1" and they told me that means 1 passport and not 1pm. I wasn't the only person waiting outside at 1. All in all there is sometimes little or bad or confusing information, and that makes it a hassle if you have to schedule your flights. I guess in your situation I would apply in Australia where you will be before you will travel to Thailand. That should work just fine. Good luck.
  14. Do you have any link to a website with information about this in country Non-B procedure? Why does (almost) everybody go out of the country to do that? I don't know how many farangs I know with Non-B visa, but it might be 100. I don't think I ever heard anybody talking about getting that visa inside of Thailand. The exception might be BOI approved companies. I know there are lots of special regulations for them.
  15. Do you know under which condition you can do that? Maybe BOI company or something like that? I spoke with enough people who should know, and nobody ever suggested any possibility to do it in Thailand. And I know many people who traveled to neighboring countries to go to the Thai embassy in those countries to apply for Non-B visa. Those were people with legitimate new jobs and the correct documents. All went for a couple of days to neighboring countries to get that visa because they couldn't do it within Thailand.
  16. I guess that sign will do the job. Because I guess most women don't want to be in the press for this. And this sign is a very clear reminder for anybody that they should think twice what they do. Is it nice? Not really. But then, it is also not nice from tourist to disrespect Thai cultural heritage. Would they also sunbath in the Vatican?
  17. I guess the problem is that if you really need their help then you won't be up to do a lot of things. And if you would be able to perform then you don't need them and they won't ask. But you can still try to ask even if you don't need it. Maybe one of the nurses likes a little OT.
  18. I am not the only one who bought a nurse uniform for their girl to play with. But obviously I wouldn't publish any private pictures.
  19. People have to apply for a Non-B visa outside of Thailand. So anybody who lives inside Thailand must visit any country outside of Thailand to get that visa. This is why many of us apply in neighboring countries like Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. You can apply in any Thai embassy anywhere on this world for a Non-B visa. You certainly will be able to do that in Australia. But make sure you read all the details on the website of the embassy which you want to visit. Some want that you come in person without appointment, others want that you apply online first and after a while get an appointment, and many other differences. And in some embassies it is relative easy and in others it's headache because of all the little differences. But if you have an experienced company hiring you then hopefully they know what you need.
  20. Officially they will tell you they don't do that. But then, ...
  21. Maybe we live in the same building. We also have a guy like that in "my" building. Because of this actions lots of important work is delayed. In the case of the building where I live it seems at the end the building won court cases. But it takes forever and cost money.
  22. Netanyahu won't listen until the USA supports UN resolutions against Israel and stops weapon deliveries to Israel. And it seems that will never happen. So, he can do whatever he wants. A little talking from any politician anywhere in the world won't make any difference.
  23. That reminds me when I was in Crazy House with a guy who visited from the UK. That was a couple of years ago and the stage was full of sexy naked girls. What did he do? He tried to convince the old mamasan, maybe 50 and at least 70kg, to go with him. He told me she reminds him of a schoolteacher when he was young. She took 3000B from him and then she told him to f o. So sad.
  24. Do they really want that? Or do they want to be able to tell their voters: We wanted to give you all that money, but the others prevented us from doing this. It's their fault.
