I always had a car back home. And I never had a car in Thailand. I don't need one and IMHO it is more headache then useful - at least for me. I live in the middle of Bangkok. Mostly I use my own motorcycle. Sometimes I use motorcycle taxis and seldom I use taxi cars. If I have to transport anything I prefer taxis. Just pick one and go. And at the destination go out, done. No parking problems, ever. And it is easy to take a motorcycle one way and a taxi, with something to transport, the other way. A friend visited golf courses all over the place and he bought a car to conveniently get there and back. That sounded reasonable.

Ex-Red-Shirt Leader Jatuporn Jailed for Security Breach
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
That reminds me of the criminal fugitive, who was then a couple of months in VIP hospital in Thailand. Did he receive any confidential information from Thai politicians while he was a convicted criminal on the run? And the criminal then he use and share that information for his own advantage? Will now all the politicians who gave the criminal such information prosected and jailed? And will the criminal finally go to jail for a few years? Or will nothing happen because he is well connected and protected? TiT -
Do you have small pipes? And/or maybe clogged pipes? I am no expert, but what you describe above sounds to me like a situation where the flow is restricted by too small pipes. If this is the case, then more pressure won't solve this problem. I am living in a condominium. First, I was in a unit with the original pipes. The water pressure/flow was ok but not great. And then we had a problem with the main power for two days. After that, lots of rusty water came into the pipes and the flow was a lot worse. In one toilet there was almost no flow at all. In my new renovated unit in the same building (in a higher floor) I have all new pipes, and the water pressure and flow are great. The main pipes in the building were replaces with new plastic pipes (the green version) a couple of years ago.

I like some YouTubers who do a job which they like and make videos at the same time. They would do anyhow what they do, even without YouTube. And then there are those guys with a mission to tell everybody how smart they are. Like I am a YouTuber, you should be impressed. No, most of the time, we are not impressed. In other words: Why don't you try to find a proper job?

I would consider how much you will possibly need the help of "your" agent. If there are no communication problem with your tenant and all looks fine, then probably there is no need for an agent. If you are a farang and rent to a Thai and the Thai person does not speak English, then I would consider if it is good to have someone who can help you if necessary.

Maybe his gf or wife at home told him that is what he has to do... -
British Man, 27, Vanishes in Thailand Before Flight Home
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
And those volunteers have lots of reasons to check all the bars to find the "victim" and do intensive research with the girls. Someone has to do it. -
British Man, 27, Vanishes in Thailand Before Flight Home
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Maybe she convinced him to stay a little longer. And he didn't want to explain this to his friends and family back home. He wouldn't be the first one. I am surprised that after 2 weeks the British police is involved already. He is an adult; he does not have to report home every couple of days.- 113 replies

Another victim of Pattaya Soi 6 'security' thugs
OneMoreFarang replied to NanLaew's topic in Pattaya
Option a) Don't visit any places which have/need bouncers. Option b) Behave, pay your bills, don't physically or verbally upset the locals. Problem solved. -
Homeless man makes himself comfy in Bangkok cop’s condo

Maybe James thought the police officer is unusually rich - even if that is not really so unusually. -
Thai woman loses 50,000 baht to boyfriend after 2 days of dating
OneMoreFarang replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Imagine the story would be: A guy invites a girl and leaves 90,000 THB in an envelope and she disappears with the money. Everybody would say: What an idiot, he deserved it. But with a not so innocent 18-year-old girl that is obviously a different story. -
Thai woman loses 50,000 baht to boyfriend after 2 days of dating
OneMoreFarang replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
It obviously must be described as her boyfriend. Because it would be illegal if he was her customer. It's hard these days for 18-year-old girls. 😉 -
Import to Thailand with Thai Post very slow?
OneMoreFarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in General Topics
Thanks for your comments. I know little about the shipping. This is a parcel from a Kickstarter project from a YouTuber. As far as I remember, I selected the cheapest shipping option, because I don't need this urgently. But until now, when I received anything from anywhere with the Thai Post, I don't remember that it was ever more than a week before I saw any shipping updates once it was on its way. I guess I will wait another week and if I don't see any updates then I will look what I can do about that. Here is what I see today: -
What's the best way to dispose of old computers (Bangkok)
OneMoreFarang replied to Bubbha's topic in IT and Computers
Do you have a maids or other Thai service people where you live? Normally I give things like that to them. They are happy to receive them, maybe they use them, maybe they sell them and make a little money. Just make sure you delete all personal data before you give them to anybody. -

My Citi card expires in 2026. I guess I will use it until then. I use the UOB app. First it was difficult to get it running. Then it was difficult to find statements. Now I got used to the app, or to the very few functions which I use. All in all, I keep it because I want a 2nd credit card in case I can't use my main card. Otherwise, I don't like it much.

I am waiting for a parcel which was sent from Poland. According to the tracking it left Poland on the 24th July and that is the last tracking entry, almost 2 weeks ago. Is that normal now? As far as I know now every parcel, independent from the size and value, should be taxed in Thailand. Is that maybe a reason for this delay? The good news is I don't need this urgently. But obviously it would be good to know what is happening. Does anybody else here have similar experience?

Foreign fortune-teller harasses Thai women for money
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
It's sad to see how many people listen to any fortune tellers at all. And not just poor and uneducated people. It seems there are lots of Thai politicians who believe in this. Sad.
