Probably comes down to 2 things only.

 

1. Where can you afford to live reasonably.

2. Availability of young women.

 

I wish someone would write an article about number 2

I am very sorry for him being attacked and hurt like that. However, I fail to understand how he have to save his eye to be able to go home??? Even blind people can fly.

Really

That website is very unstable it must have been done by the same people that updated to 90 day reporting system

So damn true! 

The biggest thing I’ve noticed is make sure you open your account in the same province you’ll be doing transactions. Kasakorn loves charging fees for making withdrawals or deposits if the province is different from the one you originally opened the account.

"I would say my personal food shop has gone up around 20% in the last six months, especially if I stick to the expat-type style supermarkets."

 

These expat markets selling western foods have always been premium priced....if u want western food maybe live in the west or if you MUST have it in Thailand be prepared to pay major premiums.  Never ceases to amaze me how many falangs move to Thailand and then try to eat/drink like they are back in their home country.

 

 

Read it again maybe you’ll understand better what he was trying to say.

It’s simple, don’t haul the damn freight, park your truck! Or raise the rates to offset the fuel price! 

Keep Calling app call call any number, free app and calls are like 1.6 cents per minute. Wife’s been using it for 4-5 years. Can add money or top up automatically with credit card.

Weird part of the story.  He lives in a luxury condo.  Is a big time drug dealer.  And he drives an MG?  I mean, if it is a modern Chinese made MG it's not exactly posh is it?

 

 

Maybe keeping a low profile. lol 

Maybe one box to a friend in the states with your many small envelopes and he can forward them on for you?

Aren't you all incurring foreign transaction charges?  Personally, I only use my credit card for US based companies.

No foreign transaction fees with my capital one card. And I’m also experiencing the same problems as the OP. I liked using my capital one card, oh well.

It doesn’t matter what corner of Thailand you’re in, Bangkok plates everywhere!

You did not say where you lived, so how would someone know if your 'local' 7.11 stocked Lao beer?

Yes, I have been out of Pattaya most of my time in Thailand.

 

I think someone peed in his beer Lao lol 

Hell it’s Thailand, anything goes! Unless you are driving a speed sports car you’ll be fine. Just make sure you get a comparable tire, like the speed and load rating,

One week ago, I transferred 2K sterling from my UK account (HSBC) via Wise to my Thai (SCB) account.   I always use the debit card method.   Only difference this time was I needed to log onto my HSBC account to verify the transaction.   That done, transfer took the usual seconds before SCB receipt confirmation.   

Exactly the same for me.

I am going to Phuket so I can drive via Ranong. But according to Google maps that will take longer than going by flooded Chumphon. 

That's a hell of a trip!

hmmmm ... they seemed to have missed on Laos in this study, "Beer Lao" which won the Time Magazine award for the best beer in South East Asia some years back, still only cost us locals $10,68 for a box of 12 large bottles, equating to $0.89c per bottle (Hot or cold) or approx. 28 Baht a bottle ... of course you can pay more in a bar or fancy Hotel, but generally speaking, $1 or 31 Baht will get you a full sized icy cold bottle of beer served on the banks of the Mekong !  Carlsberg, Heineken, Tiger, and a few other local made brands, don't follow that far behind in price either (mainly because they are also brewed here ... for the Asian market)

Where you buying your Beer Lao? I need to try it.

This guy sounds like exactly the type of xenophobic relic from the early 20th century that should not have any input into the future of Thailand... exactly the type of intolerant elitist nonsense that is unhelpful and welcome. He probably thinks protesting about inequality in society is treasonous too. As an aside, likely he owns a property outright in London, Paris, New York or such place.

It would nice to know if your last sentence is true, I wouldn’t be surprised if it is!

Hotel tycoon, who stands to lose a lot of money under the current protocol, calls for Thailand to ease restrictions on alcohol

I’m sure he’s already lost boat loads of money, let’s see if the right people are listening.

Khao Yai is not far. 3 decent waterfalls there. I've been to 2 of them. Haew Narok is not for people with walking difficulties and that last staircase is really steep.

Haew Narok Waterfall (น้ำตกเหวนรก)[edit]

Haew Narok is a waterfall formed from Tha Dan canal. It is known as one of the tallest and most beautiful waterfalls of Khao Yai National Park. Originally, before the Prachin Buri - Khao Yai road was cut, it is only accessible on foot and would take at least 6 hours to make it there, but after the finishing of the Prachin Buri - Khao Yai road, it is easily accessible by cars since the road passes near Haew Narok Waterfall. There is a parking lot just 1 kilometer away from the waterfall. Upon reaching the waterfall, there is a staircase going down about 50 meters, which is quite narrow and steep.

In the rainy season, there will be a lot of rain water but in the dry season, there will be few to no water falling down the cliff.

Pha Kluai Mai Waterfall (น้ำตกผากล้วยไม้)[edit]

Pha Kluai Mai Waterfall gets its water source from Huai Lam Takhong.

To get there, you have to park your car at Pha Kluai Mai tent yard and walk on.

The waterfall gets its name from the abundance of orchids present there.

Haew Su Wat Waterfall (น้ำตกเหวสุวัต)[edit]

This waterfall gets its source from the Huai Lam Takhong flowing through a 25 meter high cliff. The basin of the waterfall is suitable for swimming, however, the national park prohibits swimming due to fear of turbulent flood waters.^{[citation needed]}

In the rainy season, the falling water will make a scattered mist of water vapor. In the dry season, the waterfall will recede, revealing a shortcut into a small cave under the waterfall cliff.^{[citation needed]}

One urban legend reports that Haew Su Wat was named after a thief named Suwat who, in order escape government authority, jumped into the basin. However, there's no verifiable proof of this actually happening so the origin of the name is currently unknown.

Great info thank you 

Looking for any waterfalls in the Nakhon Ratchasima area to visit in November.

any suggestions? Thanks 

I sure wouldn’t think that the tires would be bad, especially being parked in a covered carport. Possibly flat spots, I’d air them up and run them see how they act.
