Because 24 months of business is worth more than 30 minutes of business?

Aren't ALL emotions reactive in nature? By definition they couldn't occur before applied stimuli.

If you've got a car, I'd recommend driving the eastern and western edges of outer ring road - lots of little "burgs" and housing villages with local amenities. Spend a few weekends and see if something strikes your fancy.

No Economics Majors in here I see. No, it makes no "cents" for the mom and pop shops as they would only earn around 500THB a year (assuming a 2000+ item turn around) but for the mass volume dealers like Tesco, BigC, etc. it generates millions in yearly revenue with no additional cash outlay. It's the way of the future - there's also "Shrinkflation" in which your 5oz item for 5THB is now packaged at 4.5oz for 6THB.

Give this site a look (may need to dumb it down for the lecturers at the Tech Uni) https://www.kanan.co/blog/sop-format/

click the links and ask. I've heard of coverage ranging from 40k-80k THB a year. Seems a better use of of the 3m-10m THB sitting in a Thai (or other) bank when you could die at any time. Eat, drink, party and be merry for you might not wake up tomorrow.

A 10 second google search: https://www.axa.co.th/en/international-exclusive https://www.thailand-health-insurance.com/coverage/pre-existing/ https://ten-pac.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-health-insurance-in-thailand/ etc. all cover pre-existing conditions and are in Thailand.

Thai service is not "abysmal", it's Thai. Get used to it.

When she visits, have her go to the bank and set up (install) their mobile app so if it ever happens again she can transfer it back using her phone. I do it all the time with my Thai phone.

It will be when we pay it off next year.

Not sure how familiar you are with the TeleCom industry in general but in MOST cases, there was a single TeleCom group that laid and own the main cables that connect the world. In the states it's AT&T. In Thailand it's AIS. Point is, I have both. I pay 62THB a month for my Thai phone and SIM (and can/do use it from states) It's always best to go with the original if you can IMHO.

A lot depends on 2 things; 1) Does the condo belong to a "group" that has a set by government Thai to Foreign Ownership percentage they must maintain? and 2) What kind of financing did the wife/gf get to purchase the condo? My wife and I bought a condo under 1 or the government finance schemes but the hitch is "Thai Only" to qualify. We can add or transfer to, me when we've paid it off.

You disconnect at the feed then, stick your face in. If you can't breath then there's no air.

Your grasp on economics is staggering.

There's been NO mention of the new taxes having any affect on either SS or VA benefits from the US so your point doesn't fit in my situation.

wouldn't mind seeing 43THB - $1 again for a few weeks - give me time to refill my Thai bank accounts w/o much drain on my USD accounts.

wonder why he hasn't been charged with taking a job reserved for Thais?

all I did was offer an opinion on another poster's post. someone pee in your morning beer?

I believe if you read it correctly, it lists examples of the countries as it states, "these include countries such as..." indicating that the heading; "Most British Commonwealth countries".

sounds like a compelling reason to move back home unless the tan hotties and sunshine outweigh the lack of freebies.

Damn! Ninja'd

interesting: Most British Commonwealth countries are included in the frozen list;[8] these include countries, such as Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Thailand and India, as well as British overseas territories such as the Falkland Islands.[9] Wonder if Thailand knows the Brits claim it. from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_state_pension

Go down to the airport and look for Brits checking in to a flight heading for the UK.

Playing the devil's advocate: How do we know the driver didn't give him the finger? Looked like he was proceeding across with his companions and something caused him to pause and react.
