  1. what's the best way to avoid them if you are driving a motorbike up and want to hike the trail?
  2. how do u get in from the waterfall?
  3. it's high season. Oct=Feb is the busiest time in Chiang Mai. Everything gets booked and it's when people make their money. Nobody renting <deleted> during smokey season. I've got a 2 bedroom condo available for monthly rent in the city. 20k thb a month if you are interested. will need to confirm before next week as it will rent out quick as soon as I post it back as available again (always rented out easily in high season, then I need to drop rents after Feb)
  4. you can operate modern devices with voice commands or other methods now. you should look into it as sounds like it could benifet your life here.
  5. so does that mean you can't just stop at huay kaew waterfall to enjoy the pergola / city view? will they charge for this?
  6. instead of increasing taxes, just decrease government spending.
  7. Your calculations are wrong. I had an office of 40 staff in Bangkok, all earning over 40k per month, with management 80k+ Even places like Dairy Queen are advertising full time roles for 15k a month
  8. dont forget the additional 10% for being associated with BRICS
  9. by that logic we should ban alcohol too.....
  10. this could really shake up property on islands. half the houses in phuket are probably under this grey area
  11. guy came to Thailand young and has made millions look at all the crusty old sexpat losers hating on him out of jealousy haha
  12. also curious on latest updates about this. news has been quiet since deadline passed
  13. it's the same every year. do nothing, air gets bad, talk a lot, rain season comes, everyone forgets about it, then burning starts, and air gets bad again. it goes round and round and round.
  14. There is a pretty obvious location. Lotus Baan Suan Kaew hotel and mall is now empty.
  15. the casino even without local punters will be a HUGE success. Bangkok is the most visited city in the world and all the foreign nationals would flock there to gamble. the locals would go there too for the restaurants/bars/events. I imagine it would become essentially like a giant mall/entertainment complex, but the advantage of this one is that it is open after 10pm, when all the competitors close. The Thais would flock there to just hangout and socialize indoors. Think about an Icon Siam, but open 24 hours, with booze and events and gambling. Whoever gets this done, is going to make a killing.
  16. foreigners have to be among the safest and least criminal demographic in Thailand.
  17. it's not the USA tax payers responsibility to take care of Myanmar refugees in South East Asia. ASEAN nations should step up and be involved. Cuts like this wouldn't even be necessary if USAID wasn't just a giant money laundering scheme for left wing political ideology, instead of international aid.
  18. month to month means you don't have a contract and there is nothing you can do. all the landlord has to do is give you 30 days notice and then you must move out. just find a new place.
  19. did you end up buying there? what was your experience living there?
  20. agreed, doesn't sound like foul play involved here. most likely just an undiagnosed heart issue + vaxxed
  21. raises prices on all goods and services, they end up in the same place. it also makes small businesses less competitive and reduces the amount of jobs available, which means more unemployment and government support (which thailand doesn't have a lot of). it also doesn't address why they are in the bottom class to begin with. you can't raise minimum wage to bring people into a middle class, it just doesn't work. if you care about helping poor people, you should focus on educating them on basic finances and ways to build/learn skills to make themselves more valuable. artificially raising the floor of labor pricing just hurts the bottom and middle class
  22. raising the minimum wage doesn't help, it actually hurts the lower class.
  23. He said in the video that he hasn't had a job in over 15 years and it is preferable to be poor in asia than go back to the US and try to work and get a job. He has no intention of working. He is a gambling addicted loser.
  24. the guy said he hasn't had a job in over 15 years. He is a <deleted> bum.
