7 c this morning... Coldest has been 5c

It's the misinformation coming from the internet...I'm not sure if it's just the organic growth of negativity caused by algorithms and AI searching for more clicks or a more sinister plot to destroy society ...to whose benefit I don't know. But COVID and the internet have changed how people behave towards each other .

I've been a frequent visitor to India since the early 1970's. Anyone from India or familiar with India and Indian men would not be surprised or outraged at this. Total disregard for the effect of their behavior on the people around them It's a normal behaviour for a huge segment of the male population there . Me me me.

I suspect that forcing you to leave the country cuz you owe taxes is not going to be seen as win win for anyone.

You mean like not making the the secret service etc stay in Trumps overpriced hotels.Who can believe anything he says.

I agree with General Chaos ,I've personal known of more than one case where the courts found that the although the farang partner could of course not have ownership of property when things went south he was entitled to be compensated under the ,50/50 rule and when evidence showed that all or most of the money came from the farang partner more that was taken into consideration as well.

Yeah I tried beer chang and pizza to cheer me up immediately after a tooth extraction..Almost chewed my lip off cause it was still numb and three days later got the dreaded " dry socket"..So Chang obviously isn't the right beer .If that helps.

I saw some type of basking shark when sailing of the west coast of Thailand some years ago.Huge bugger.

I suspect it will work like this no limits on number of times but when its office you are using to live in Thailand full time it will be highly recommended you get a "O" visa or another 12 month visa that describes your stay more accurately.

I have a retirement visa and my wife a dependent visa .We hired a lawyer for the initial visa during covid and then have done it ourselves since.In Chiang Mai it has been a pleasant and easy experience..We speak a bit of Thai and live in a fairly remote part of Chiang mai province so we stay a night in a hotel and the immigration people have actually sped the process up so we could get home in time to feed the dogs and not drive in the dark .

Good idea ,all the cannabis shops can change to being sex toy retailers and brothels...and then in two years they can change the law and the shops can be casinos with slot machines

It does make sense to address the ability of foreign buyers to work and contribute to the country they can buy property and live in.Otherwise you will end up with a lot of old retirees and people who are willing to bend or break the law to earn a living here .I realize there are legitimate ways to work and invest here but none of them give any long-term confidence or the ability to feel safe .I don't believe even permanent residency gives you and automatic right to work or own land or own more than 49% of a business.Without changes to those policies foreigners are not encouraged to buy. I also think it would improve the quality of applicants.

Amazing how delicious too much salt, fat and sugar tastes

I have ford F 250 in Canada ,heavy 7.3 litre diesel.Run it with an equally heavy slide in camper and have added leaf springs 75 to 85psi.Mitsubishi ,4 door triton in Thailand 32 to 35 psi.Trucks are completely different animals wight wise

It's not just Thailand.In fact I find customer service much better in Thailand than the majority of the other countries including those "first world countries" .Number of weeks you need to book in advance to get your oil changed in a car. Etc etc etc.Dealing with customer service for telecom companies .

The type and style of the roof thatching makes it more likely to be Bali.

It's not just Thais and Thailand...

I suspect Germany has the most accurate count in that list ....which might explain why it's so high on the list ...

My experience having bought probably 20 lap tops is stay away from Acer..have had at least three non impressed with build quality or longevity. Worst lap top was surprisingly an HP that shorted out every time I picked it up by the the lower right corner when the screen was at 90 degrees.Also the most expensive over 20k. I'm sticking with Asus or second hand Lenovo refurbished...good warranties and if you buy from the same shop that does the refurbishing it's out of warranty they will fix inexpensively

In another 30 years people of Russian and to a lesser extent Ukrainian descent will probably be an ethnic sub group in Thai society like the Chinese and Indians.

I live at 900 m above sea level.We had two inches of rain in the last two days.Night time temp dropped to 17c Aqi is about 70 and day time dropped to from 36 to 22 during and immediately after the storms we also got hail almost enough to shovel.Absolutely lovely and more rain hopefully today an tomorrow. Back up to 32 now at 13.30

Learn from the best .The private sector in the US makes more money on health care than any where in the world.

Banning het top what make the price go up...It would then be an illegal product like ya ba.. Imagine who would become involved...then...

I will bee surprised if in 50 years there is not a new ethnic population group in Thailand of Russian origin..much like the Chinese and Indians.
