I bought this one and I like it. I just start with these things and I don't have much experience. But I watched lots of videos about the subject. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002703400758.html

I wonder how many of those vendors are free to decide who to charge and how much. If a business person would see a regular customer then I guess they would see regular business and try to be nice to that person. Like sell him a juice with 100% profit everyday and not just one time. But maybe many of these vendors are hired by owners/mafia with very strict rules. Like: If anybody wants to use that chair then you charge him 100B. Otherwise tell him to go away. Or something like that. It's a long time that I was at a beach in Pattaya but it's like the jet-ski guys. There are maybe 5 different vendors but they are not really different. They have the same prices and the same rules. Organized cr... "business"...

Which one? What's the point of articles which basically tell us: Maybe it is a bad idea or maybe it is a good idea. Yeah, sure, thanks.

You seem to have a lot of experience in Thailand - or maybe not?

Do you want a happy gf? What are you willing to pay for her and your happiness? Just do it!

And I thought we can trust those experts on YouTube who are so nice to share all their wisdom. Or maybe not?

Doorways are easy. When they are big enough for tall and maybe big guys then any shorter person can also use them. With sinks and countertops this is a little more complicated.

Probably I will store the spaghetti in the upper shelves and she will store MAMA in the lower cabinets. ????

For some heights that is easy: Just look and buy what is available as standard. I.e. doors 200 x 80cm. For other heights like in the kitchen it depends on you. You can easily find lists on the internet which heights are optimal for specific body heights. And then it depends on you what you want and what compromises are necessary. I.e. my gf is more than 30cm shorter than me. There is no optimal height for both of us. And probably it is also a question of how much are you willing to pay. I.e. I asked IKEA and they offer their kitchen in exactly one height. Take it of leave it. Or get them custom made for probably a lot more money. IKEA is obviously only an example, there are also typical appliances dimensions etc.

Thanks Let me change your last sentence a little: If it works, and if you can expect that it will work for the next 20 years, then don’t fix it. Because I plan to stay in that place for a long time. And if it is foreseeable that it has to be fixed, maybe in a couple of years, then I think it is a lot better to fix it now then wait for it to leak and then fix it. I know that the pipes in my unit and the my waste water pipes under the ceiling in the unit below are my responsibility. If they leak then I have to pay for the repair including the repair of any water damage in the unit below me. All work will be done by professionals and only after confirmation with the building management.

Thanks for all your post. To answer my own question: This company in Thailand has many of the 86 type sockets: SAHN https://www.sahndesign.com/ this is exactly what I want and what I just ordered: https://www.sahndesign.com/product/18362-16639/2-pin-amp-universal-socket

I don't think so but please feel free to post a link. And maybe have a second look at the picture above. The 118 type 120 type (wide, mostly with two sockets) are easily available. Except the one from above I couldn't find the 86 type square format anywhere.

It seems there are two wall type sockets 86 type which is used in the EU 118 type or 120 type which is used in the US. Here is how they look. The drawings are the standards, the dark devices are samples of devices for these standards. And here is an article about the different types: https://www.ywstar-electrical.com/info/what-is-86-type-wall-switch-118-type-switch-s-38218622.html It seems in Thailand they have mostly the 118 or 120 type. I am looking for mains power sockets for Thai or multiple international plugs in 86 type. Where can I find and buy them? I found hundreds of 120 type and until now only one possible 86 type, and that is out of stock. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/art-dna-a63-switch-design-i385552201.html https://www.boonthavorn.com/art-dna-1162901 Any ideas?

I am getting too old for this s$#4!

My advice is: Look at a website like this for buildings which you like. https://www.fazwaz.com/ You should get a good idea about available unit sizes, prices, and many more details. And then go personally to those places and check them out. Go to the lobby and look for information what is for rent. Maybe ask at the reception, shops, hairdresser, etc. It is almost impossible to avoid an agent. Everybody, including the building management or hairdresser expects a commission. The good thing is if you rent then you are not the one who pays that commission (directly).

Lufthansa has a good App in English and German with all the details.

On my first day in Thailand ever, many years ago, I asked the taxi driver to bring me to such a place from the airport. It was relaxing after such a long flight. Then later I had another look and another look but mostly the girls were not according to my taste. I like small and brown and cute, Buriram style. And that is certainly not on offer. Over the time I also looked at other typical Thai places. No, it's not for me. IMHO there is a reason why there are different entertainment areas for different "nationalities". The type of girls many farangs like are not what Thais like and vice versa. Girls like i.e. this one work only in farang oriented businesses.

I don't know how you look like. But are you sure anybody would want to look at such video? ???? Personally I don't think anybody would want to watch how a girl puts soap on me.

You should try it!

This is Thailand!

Since yesterday I listen to different version of this one since a piano version found it's way to my YouTube page. Wow, fantastic. And I didn't even know it existed in the last couple of years.

If it would be "only" the scammers that would be bad enough. But it seems at least with some crypto currencies there are officially some crazy things going on. I just read an article (not in English) that one groups of crypto gurus decided one of them made illegally too much money. So they took 30 millions of his crypto money and they moved it to another address. The only problem is that the other address didn't exist. A copy and paste error. And an irreversible error. At least that is the theory. But now they think about restoring the previous blockchain like that transaction never happened. And all this is official, no hacker involved. Crazy! At least IMHO.

I am not really a fan of crypto, especially now. But I think there is nothing wrong with talking about and admitting that some people made a lot of money. I have a friend who invested early and he made good money. I don't know if millions but a few 100k is also not bad. And about taxes: I would be happy to pay 10 million taxes if I made 20 million. It's all relative. Personally I think investing now is not a good idea. But it was a good investment years ago and without doubt some people made a lot of money. No ifs and buts.
