  1. Thanks for the response. It seems odd. Phuket has gone crazy over the past few years but Samui hasn't done anything. Why not? I'm not in Thailand now at least for 5 more years. The reason I asked is I bought 5 rai in Lamai with partial sea view, top half of the land has decent sea view. Bought 20 years ago. Would like to sell and have been working with 5 or 6 serious land agent companies for 4 years or so but very very little interest.
  2. I am wondering if the land sale market on Samui is booming or bust right now. Are prices going up much? Is there much foreign demand? Are many new resorts being built?
  3. I think the trajectory for the Left is down. MS is at its all time low in viewership and trust. Their nonstop lies have caught up to them. I'll bet the 2028 elections will have very very little input from traditional media.
  4. Thanks for the link. I'm surprised as Tesla continually releases data showing how safe their cars are compared to every other car on the road. It was not clear in the article that the people killed were necessarily in the Tesla or involved with a crash with a Tesla. This came out recently. It will be interesting if Tesla comes out with anything rebutting this claim.
  5. Nonsense. Tell us where you read this.
  6. Interesting take. I wonder what would lead you to believe X is becoming less relevant. It is becoming more popular than ever especially after the latest US election. Legacy media is in its death throes and X seems to be the new source of information. Personally I use X a lot as well as follow some YouTube channels and podcasts but X is the fastest and most accurate way to get the latest info.
  7. I wonder if you still think this today? As Elon said, the value of Twitter is free speech. Without Elon buying it, the US would be headed to authoritarianism like the UK and Europe. Nevermind the resale value, it is value to the people.
  8. Thank you for the thoughtful response. I don't get the joke. 18 yrs old. Finished G12.
  9. My son, a luk khrung has been fluent in Thai and English since birth and now lives in Japan studying Japanese language. He is also a techy kid. I am wondering if anybody has experience with Japanese companies and if they can comment on how useful a trilingual person would be given the high level of commerce between Japan and Thailand.

  11. I haven't used Thai visa or aseannow in a long time. There used to be a forum called general topics, it doesn't seem to be here. I want to ask a question about business in Thailand, specifically for people who are fluent in Thai, Japanese and English. But I can't find how or where to start this question. Please advise. Thank you.
  12. If you think this, you are not paying attention.
  13. An engineering degree doesnt really mean anything when you have studied physics and engineering for 30 years. Having a brain that can absorb all those technical disciplines is impressive.
  14. You'd be dumb to take that bet. Look at the past 25 years and what he has done. The guy has issues but engineering wise in multiple disciplines, nobody alive comes close to his accomplishments.
  15. Tesla received 5,000 orders in the first 3 days (if media reports are to be believed). I looked at the pricing. From 1.6m bt to 2.5m bt. The lower end is Camry price range. This should sell like hotcakes in Thailand. Anybody know if plans for superchargers up and down the country?
