Lots of people don't like their jobs. And to be fair, I also wouldn't like many of those jobs which other people do.

To get an idea about material prices have a look at this site: OneStockHome is a platform for you to source building | OneStockHome As far as I remember they have many of these blocks in different sizes from different manufacturers. And about your builders, especially with double walls. Probably you assume walls should be straight and plum and have 90-degree angles. Yeah, good idea. Now try to explain that to Thai builders. Ask me why I know that. Somehow, I thought that is so basic that I don't have to mention it...

What will you do when you "retire"? Personally, I work with computers, and I play with computers and electronics. Work and hobby are almost the same. If I wouldn't get paid for it, I would still do it - at least in general. I don't have any retirement plans. But I only do projects which I like. So I enjoy my "work" and have no reason to stop it. What will you do with your time? I guess something you like. And playing with the girls is nice but not really something you can do 24/7. So, what will you do? And will you do it just for fun or also to make money? Recently I watched a lot of videos from a YouTube channel M539. The guy worked in IT and he liked cars. Then he learned how to repair cars. Then more of the same. Now he does engine rebuilds from M5 and other expensive and complicated cars. He does it on YouTube and he enjoys it. And lots of people watch and he makes enough money to do what he likes to do. So, what do you like to do?

Do you want to build a small house which will be usable for many years? Or do you want to build a cheap house and don't care about any other criteria? Looking first for the cheapest material and then for some builders is a recipe for disaster.

It's almost funny that those huge illegal business can exist, sometimes for years. It seems our authorities somehow don't see them. Maybe someone should offer eye examinations for them. Or is it requirement to be blind, at least from time to time, to join those officials?

"Thai Smile", "Smile Plus", "Silk Class",... I remember the times when they had economy, business and first class. But I guess that was too easy for the marketing department.

Even worse, I also have logical and sensible friends - at least some of them are like that. ;)

It wasn't my idea to have sober up areas...

I guess they will also ask convicted criminals - at least one of them.

It's really sad that now we can't bang the telephone receiver down anymore.

Does it matter? Even drunk I wouldn't have such stupid ideas.

And that changes with the legal situation. If the closing times are later then the places fill up later. Or the other way around.

And don't let anybody pass who fails the tests. Edit: And make sure people officially fail the test if they fail the test.

Let's pretend this is serious. What happens if a drunk guy walks out of the bar and they ask him where he goes. He tells them he will walk around the corner where he will look for a taxi or drive with a friend. But maybe his car is around the corner, and he will drive himself. Should the bar employees follow him to verify his story? Should they follow for a minute or 5 or 10?

I know there are beds in those rooms. But I don't know anybody who booked such a room for an hour to sleep. ;)

That might be true for some of them. Many of us know when we are too drunk to drive, and we don't drive. Any many of us know that if we go out and have some drinks that then we will not be legally able to drive. This is why we leave our vehicles at home.

By whom? Very few people want to stay out longer. Later closing times often only means business starts later and ends later.

We all know that many venues have regular visits from the police, to drink tea or something similar. Maybe the police should schedule these visits to closing time and then actually work a little. I know it would be unconventional for the BiB to actually do something, but maybe there are miracles one day. We can hope.

What a stupid idea! How long should they sober up until they can drive? Maybe until noon? And then I read the venues should call friends of the drunk people to bring them home in the early morning. Wait for that phone call at 4am. As usual, lots of action, not so much thinking. In other words: TiT.

I don't remember where I read it. But it seems Thailand has a relative high education budget and spending over decades. And it seems they always have politicians an officials which are unusually rich. I don't think it is too difficult to figure out how to do better education - if that is what they really want. Competent teachers would be a good start. But do they really want better educated people? I don't think so.

Maybe ask an accountant. Before I opened my company, I spoke with two lawyers and then an accountant. The accountant seemed to be more knowledgeable - and charged less.

Do you have a person or garage who takes regularly care of your car? Ask them.

"Options following a failed marriage." Where you go and what you do are obviously important questions, like you ask. But what about a relationship? Do you want to have a new girlfriend or maybe even marry? Or maybe? Or sure not? I think depending on your idea about that future that will influence the questions which you ask. Personally, I wouldn't recommend moving to the village of your possible new wife. But I guess if you are in a relationship then maybe it is also important if she wants to live on the beach or near a town and questions like that. Also think about medical facilities. Where can you go (quickly) if you need a good doctor?

Can't you rent one if you really need it? Obviously it depends on the country, but in some countries people who rent property have so many (annoying) rights that it can be a major headache to rent out your property. Repairs, misbehaving people in there, rent only partially paid. It can be difficult enough if you live nearby. But if you are far away it can be big headache.
