In principle I agree with that. But I don't know if it works that way. Another option might be to ask the condominium manager to join you - and you pay him/her a fixed fee but no commission. That manager likely knows all the details.

And I thought if I act like him, I will win, and get the girl, sure. ????

Fighting with a knife and all that...

And let's not forget all those pretty young women who marry millionaires. But then, as far as I know they are officially not called prostitutes. They obviously marry for love. ????

Really? I think there is a HUGE difference if someone (any age) has sex with a 17 year old teenager or a pre puberty child of maybe 12 years or younger. To name a foreign example of Berlusconi with his darling Ruby. She was under 18 at that time. But I think we must forgive him that he didn't see that right away. But look at any pre puberty child and it is very obvious that nobody should touch such a child. And there is no: Sorry, I though the 10 year old looked like she is 18...

Thanks, I just saved that video to my PC. With all that woke s#%# I guess it won't be long before this won't be available anymore.

If I have to explain it to you ... ???? Which of the words don't you understand?

And do you think if you would have visited a qualified doctor you would have received worse advice (and treatment)? Obviously, it's possible to receive qualified advice in a forum, but is it smart to follow any advice because somehow it sounds good? Another example is advice in the computer forum. I am a computer professional since forever and sometimes I give advice here and sometimes I read advice from others. And sometimes it's good advice and sometimes bad advice. And it happens regularly that I visit people with computer problems, and they often have stories like: I had this little problem and I looked at the internet and I followed that advice. And then they have a bigger problem... At least for me that is a reason not to follow advice from people who I don't know if it is important.

child trafficking It seems most of them were teenagers and not children - especially no pre puberty children. This is obviously still not right. But I think there is a HUGE difference between teenagers over 15, who likely have anyhow sex, and "children".

There was a time when people with medical issues visited a doctor or at least a pharmacy. Is that not in fashion anymore? Is it now a question for an online guess game?

I didn't pay any bribe. The guy who walked with me worked previously in that immigration office and he knew everybody. "My guy" is now up country enjoying his retirement, but I am pretty sure similar people still exist. I know the rules have changed and I guess there is also a good part of flexibility for each officer. My point was and is: Look for an expert and sort it out. Such experts exist and IMHO it's a lot better to find the right person than risk being detained.

I would look for a visa agent who you can trust. A long time ago I had two years overstay. I was introduced to a guy who previously worked in immigration. I walked with him into that "pay fine" room in immigration, 5 minutes later we were in front of the officer, I paid 20k and all was done. I didn't have to leave the country. In another case I know a guy had a few days overstay. He walked alone into immigration to sort things out before his flight in a couple of days. He had his flight ticket with him. The immigration detained him there and then and delivered him to the airport on the day of his departure. I think it's as usual in Thailand: Talk to the right people and all will be sorted. To be fair my experience with my overstay was maybe 20 years ago. But I am sure the principle is still the same. Go there with well connected people.

Great, and maybe you are strong and fit and know how to fight. On the other hand, if you are not as strong and fit then maybe you end up in a hospital - if you are lucky enough that someone calls an ambulance.

Thanks for the thread, I still have to watch most of them. This was one of my favorites when I was a little younger. I guess most of you know it.

And would you use it? To do what? Let's say maybe a drug addict would randomly attack me and let's assume I would carry a knife with me. Let's say the attacker kicks me. Would I then take the knife out? Would I hope the attacker sees that knife and runs away? And what if he doesn't run? So next time that guy tries to kick me again I try to stab him. Do I want to injure him or do I want to kill him? If I injure him, would that stop the fight? Let's not forget we have a crazy drug user in front of us who needs his shot? Will he just back down? Or will he continue with the fight? And then? Let's say I handle that knife perfectly and stab him in the heart. He is lying on the floor bleeding. And then? Explain that to the police in Thailand? My point is that escalation is more likely to make the situation worse - in many ways. If someone would attack me I would probably (try to) give him my money. Here, take it. That's not the hero move. But likely I will live another day and I don't have to go to the hospital. And I prefer to pay 10,000 B and stay healthy.

Thanks. He is ok now - except that he is back in the UK. ???? I am sure he walked the same route roughly the same time many times. Normally no problem...

Probably about 2am. On the way from Soi 23 to Soi 22. The attacker was on the Sukhumvit entrance what used to be Crown Hotel near Soi 29.

I like to buy a couple of meters of thick electrical wire. Up to 4 sqmm or maybe 6 sqmm is available in the usual stores. But thicker wire, and maybe in color, is maybe available at Lazada, but not easy to find. I just tried to find 10 sqmm like this (or with fewer strands), but I can't find it. Some suppliers show what looks like copper cable but in the description it's aluminium. Other supplier offer also fashion, etc. I would like to get a link to a shop (their own website or i.e. a shop in Lazada) which offers a variety of wires, different colors, maybe just a few meters or a roll, etc. Any suggestions? A real-life shop anywhere in Bangkok would also be fine. Thanks The last picture is from an online shop in China. I don't think it should be necessary to import wires from there and wait 10 days.

What kind of anchors are best for perforated bricks? (I don't know if that is the correct term for these bricks.) If I use "normal" anchors like below (from HomePro) this works in part. But maybe half the anchor is in the hole of the brick. Not good. Are there special anchors for these bricks? How are they called? Do you have a link from a shop in Thailand? Thanks The bricks for which I need anchors: I used these. They are just about good enough to hang a picture or something similar. But definitely not good for heavy load. This is a general question. I might want to hang a picture on the wall or maybe something heavy. Thanks

I like to use cable trays under the ceiling in my new condominium to make cabling and cable maintenance easy. It seems most of the time this is only used in industry and maybe offices. What do you think about this? Here is some more information: I am renovating my condominium from scratch. All the old wiring is already removed. I plan to install lots of LED lights, sensors, home automation, etc. Most of this I will do myself with HomeAssistant, NSPanels, etc. Some will be installed right away but likely I will add things later on. A long time ago when I was young I worked a couple of months for an electrical installation company. I helped them with electrical installations in houses and industry. I think the way things are done in industry (including offices) if a lot better to work on and maintain than the typical house wiring. This is why I want to use cable trays instead of the usual pipes along the ceiling. I plan to use cable trays separated for high voltage (220V) and low voltage (24V for LEDs, LAN, PoE (48V), etc.) I plan to install the cable trays between the concrete ceiling and ceiling tiles. That will make it very easy to access it. This is an example of such cable tray. The picture does not show ceiling panels (like I plan to use). I plan to use maybe something like this, not sure yet: https://th.rs-online.com/web/p/cable-trays/7707058 For the record: A qualified Thai electrical engineer will make sure that all is according to the regulations.
