  1. Oh yes, for sure, I've been collecting it for more than 20 years, so there's no more losing it. More than 25 years ago, when I first came to Thailand, it was 5,000 Thb for 1 bath gold.
  2. It was about 4 weeks ago that everything pointed to the gold price in the USA going up, so I drove to the gold shop that Monday morning to buy gold for my Thai money And what turned out after the next day it only went down.
  3. Yes I know, and I'm awhare of this but here in Thailand the price is actually going down, and yes I know it is not 24 carats but it is still more or less linked to the international gold price.
  4. With the positive implication that the gold price should also go up, but it doesn't look like that.
  5. A pneumatic device should be used to force the lift door? Is there no way to unscrew the panels around the doors and easily unlock the mechanism? The maintenance that needs to be done to that mechanism regularly is really not going to be done from inside the lift car.
  6. As long as you are aware their IQ gives you no need to wonder if it can get any crazier. You can't even blame them.
  7. The only way to avoid income tax is to take your money with you in cash every time you arrive in the country by plane. But to have your assets, which you own in your home country, taxed by Thailand is of course hilarious and impossible, but yes TIT.
  8. It is actually pointless to respond to this, after all we know, but now invite the Thai.... Won't work for them, if it does they would have understood there themselves years ago.
  9. I share those experiences you have, I myself have been here since 1998, everything went fine did not have to work anymore. But then you get to an age where you've seen it all, even physically it gets harder, I'm nearly 80. Given that age you also don't do much any more, my main hobby was electronics but the lust has disappeared and I try to sell everything related to that, but that is difficult in LOS. But going back to the west...no way, next week I will go to europe for a month for family visits and necessary medicine. So it's a matter of sitting it out and trying to make what can be made of it.
  10. Asked the question to Anern itself today, as soon as I get antword I will post it here.
  11. Am convinced it was a company from nigeria with a prince as owner.
  12. Thanks, so it looks like it is possible. In case my ‘Must’ converters were to fail, I would not buy them again.
  13. You are absolutely right, as a Dutchman, I have seen 50 years of development of those so-called harmless drugs there and dare I say it is really not that harmless. But yes, try to make those foreigners here in Thailand understand that, you will only get angry and denying reactions expect because they are far too scared that it will be banned again.
  14. I am not surprised, saw this coming years ago. You cannot cut down unlimited trees on mountains and hills, then this is the logical consequence, but yes Logical and Thai....
  15. Can you also connect those Anern inverters in parallel? Can't find it in the description at Lazada.
  16. Yes, now I see the 3 separate switches.
  17. Wow a set with 6 switches for 180 THB, and then they still earn from it, calculate that back to the real cost of a car.
  18. Yes, that's what you get when you allow soft drugs, some crazier than others. There are also some who think they can fly, and try to do so from a high building in Pattya or Phuket. And then people are surprised again. And so the circle is round again.
  19. Yes, when the Chinese get angry you have to be careful, ‘you <deleted>, you <deleted>’. So are those the quality tourists?
  20. No, faecesbook!
  21. Yes, that's correct. Officially, I belong to the Chaam area but the agent told me the management there had become stricter so 2 months ago it took place in HuHin where, to my surprise, the chief was the one from Chaam.
  22. Yes, yes, we know but maths is not an important subject at school for Thai people....😂
  23. And then also a lot with the those rubber flaps at the back that stick out half a metre on each side. Very dangerous and illegal and a nuisance if you have to pass them in the opposite direction.
  24. T Thanks for the reply but it makes me uncertain, I think you have mentioned this before, for that reason I am asking again I have also asked this to the agent in Hua hin who is taking care of my retirement extension and he says it is not checked. Next month I will get a new passport and for that reason I am afraid I will have to pay charges again if I am asked for the 800K. My current passport expires November 2025, my retirement renewal is in June. This month, I am going to Europe. I am considering waiting until May 2025 instead of next month but then I have to go to Europe again for that.
