On the side note You can also make on your own with a dedicated or vps server, or get a VPN server router or hire an IT expert to setup it for you and place it in your own or your friends, relatives house back home so there will no monthly costs as well and you will even access the local network to share videos or files securely for example.

You could also rent an old minivan and make it as a temporary home, travel far as you want and explore local lifestyle on your own and stay low on radar. You can get showers at any gyms as well, life is an adventure, just sayin'...

Greetings from Hungary

We stumbled upon the same issue this year when traveled with EVA and it turned out you can choose seats for free before 48 hours of the flight, but very likely the good seats will not be available at that time already.

You could play loud meditative music for a straight 48 hours if it doesn't work, try with a catalonian one 

30-40 minutes at least, on the elevated highway... actually the trip shouldn't take more than 20 minutes but the traffic is bad in the morning

In Hungary there is a german factory warehouse where they play the sound of predatory bird like falcon repeatedly every few mins to repell the pigeons around their warehouse. 

I sent my scooter and boxes with the Thailand post from Bangkok to Phuket, it was the cheapest option couple of years back. I had to keep the tank nearly empty as a precaution and when I'm arrived to Phuket I was able to pick it up in the post office easily.

Kathu is a great choice, nice condos and houses for rent. I used to live there for years and loved the wide roads around, easy access to Central as well as the cheap markets, food stalls and the Golf range with the nicely paved jungle road around the Bang Wad Dam was absolutely fantastic. 
 

I used to drive down with my car to Satun to do the visa runs. I had to catch the first ferry to mainland then just drive down to Malaysia it took about 3-3.5 hours. Very nice scenery, pleasant driving, once police stopped me for having the lights turned on but I guess if its off it should have been the same he just wanted the money, anyway I was always able to catch the last ferry and at 8.30 was in Samui again.

This online 90 days reporting is more like hit and miss affairs, sometimes it works

sometimes it doesn't, you just have to be patient with it.

Yeah, few minutes ago was still online, their extranet server now offline already, not wonder the frustration many of us usually get here... If it comes back I will try some javascript injection plugin on chrome which maybe can be a "dirty" solution to insert the code for the captcha but not sure if it will work, anyway will update later...

I just tried on mac chrome browser, by checking the error source in the page it's very likely that the technical reason behind the missing captcha is the jquery 1.9.0 is required to show it...

According to this website a 20FT container from Sattahip to Tabangao cost at least US$530. The best is to find a reputable agent and get a free quote...

I had my strange experience also with lazada recently. Ordered a spare macbook air battery, after weeks of frustration they came with a surprisingly small package, I opened it in front of the delivery guy stating it couldn't be due much smaller size and they still wanted me to pay for the delivered sd card reader the price of the battery which 10 times more expensive then the card reader. I refused to pay, the guy took the thing back and I tried to contact them again when my battery comes, but they never replied back. I guess they wasn't happy about I opened it but really don't care if they try to sell me something I never wanted. Based on the no reply I was wondered what if I had to pay that time and then now probably I stuck with an expensive card reader as well. 

Although its not formalized yet, but just the idea itself raising more questions then answers as well as the eyebrows towards this extremely unwelcoming perspective in the past few years built up towards longterm expats in Thailand. 

I personally feel exactly the same in a certain level with a similar background: 11years here, married, 2 kids, owning condo, contribute to economy probably more then the average population, etc. and it feels like they not just don't care their own population but absolutely nobody else. In other countries the norm is if you stay for a few years or having a child with a native you will get a little chance to be resident but here we still stuck with crazy visa rules and random daily problems.

The country is totally unpredictable but that brings the adventure into it, however after many years sometimes i feel i'm getting tired of these dramatic events and the sole purpose of living in a buddhist and tropical country which a bit unattached from the West is getting just worse day by day loosing the essence and joy of living here.

Never thought one day specially after having a family will have to think about other places and I still think nowhere really better when you comes to the art of balancing out the positives and negatives about Thailand or where to live but this idea was definitely a spark in my mind, what the hell i'm doing here.

I just thinking if they can't even make 1 thing properly here, there is a huge chance this will never ever work out and there will be million workaround as well as involving the under table money in the beautifully built-up platform of ripoffs in their bureaucracy.

I think we have to think about other factors too, given the fast pace of technological and medical advances, I wouldn't be amazed if there is some kind of solution to ageing in the next 20-30 years or at least helping to extend the healthy, enjoyable lifespan in some ways.

flying bugs always attract to the light so if u have a chance make those conditions in the room so they just fly out by themselves or help them out with the broom gently

Unfortunately its not just Thailand, its happening in many countries, interesting to see how long the El-Nino effects will last but overall they say this happening for years if not decades, soon the water will cost more then the oil and other stuff. I wonder why they don't invest in desalination projects like Israel did in the past.

How long to survive? Its a very relative question, you can spend it all in a day for nothing or make a proper life, living in freedom until the last day has to come...

If I'm single I would buy a cheap condo around 1m to stay for free in phuket to live the tropical life quiet, then make a new web business from an other million, and keep the remaining 1m in various currencies and goldbars and do my best the business will going well

Would not go much bars and restaurants, just learn to be a good chef on my own, buy cheaper from local markets and get a scooter for hassle free travel...

PS: can't give idea how to make money online but sounds safe if you good at entrepreneurship

Me thinks it was the "man in black" then... great work btw
