Now send the defensive weapons.

I did too at first glance. The lighting looked almost too perfect but the image appears be taken about 10 am or 2 pm with soft, cloud filtered light striking the soldier's face and tank. The lighting and depth of focus and are exactly what one expects in a real image. Further. high level online AI fake image analysis shows no signs of any AI manipulation. AI can do some very funny things that users can't control. I remember one perfect image from inside an airplane cabin with passengers, a pretty girl standing in the aisle, and people's faces sticking out of overhead compartments. Further computer analysis also shows that the level of sharpness and contrast enhancment, which makes the image look too good and possibly fake, is the same level as used by many modern high quality mobile phones. So before you call him fake and a liar why not ask him what model phone he has?

Thanks to all for additional feedback. This is ongoing but going slow. What I want is market price, what someone is willing to pay, because I want to sell soon. I'm told the best market price estimate is based on how much a bank will loan someone to buy it. This is because banks make money on loans but can lose money if a house loan is beyond market price. Both banks and private land assessors make such estimates for about 3K to 5K baht, but not all banks. So far SCB and KrungSri said only if I'm making a loan so no cigar. A relative at UOB said they can but it's expensive. A nephew is looking for a private assessor in Meuang Buriram. Meanwhile word is out and some folks in the mu ban are expressing casual interest along with expected comments like he will want too much for a Farang house, which is why I need the estimate. TO be continued... All good advice. Thanks.

Correct, it was never agreed, which exposes one Putin lie when he held up a draft and said Ukraine had signed it. He was referring to the head negotiator's initialing the draft. The big lie was Putin's requirement that all guarantors must give unanimous written consent before anyone aids Ukraine against another Russian invasion. Duh. That required Russia to agree to being attacked. Another Putin fib, i.e., that there was ever a legitimate agreement, and why the West recommended not signing, but Ukraine already knew. In your quest for truth, please pass this on to help stamp out Russian disinformation.

Nothing like half-truth Russian propaganda to start the day. Lets look at the real Putin stooge "candidate" barred from the election. Now arrested along with his hidden $10M Russian slush fund, heavy weapons, and tickets to Moscow.

'Broke' EU, part of $52 trillion nominal GDP NATO, to announce 700 billion dollar euro military aid package for Ukraine. Putin's head explodes again as Russian gold reserves are already half depleted (BRICS?). NATO breaths sigh of relief as traditional funding model returns. Gazprom down 5%. https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1891779988283588969

Correction. In days of old we had newspapers, radio, TV, and Russian propaganda. Storied Russian propaganda dates to late Imperial Russia, reached dizzying heights during Stalin's time going global during the Cold War. The widespread use of whataboutism as a propaganda tool is attributed to the cold war Soviet state.

What Putin and Russian propaganda says is irrelevant. The observed truth is Russia is waging a brutal war of territorial conquest against a legally sovereign Ukraine including war crimes against the civilian population reminiscent of by gone eras. Losing 10,000 tanks does not suggest not wanting to do it. It's noteworthy that the aggressors in the 20th century wars of conquest did not win. And in each case the aggressors, Germany in WW1, Germany in WW2, and Japan in WW2, were later de-militarized.

- GDP is also important because of Russia's high dependence on foreign technology for military and other industries. PPP is good for Vodka. "The "shadow-fleet" of Russian ships exporting their oil, and thus replenishing their "war chest" has only be discovered recently, (3 years going into the war)." - Known from the beginning: Russia relies on 'shadow fleets' for crude oil sales January 16, 2023 5:10 AM ET https://www.npr.org/2023/01/16/1149375089/russia-relies-on-shadow-fleets-for-crude-oil-sales "One must conclude, that all the western intelligence agencies were asleep during the last 3 year" - Direct opposite judging from Ukraine's intensely precise targeting of everything inside Russia.

Girkin, a Russian who knows Russian propaganda well, worried that Russian propaganda is misleading Russians. He says: "In reality we have completely handed over the initiative to Trump.", "We suffered a diplomatic defeat before negotiations began." Putin's head continues to explode.

And this?

In a further sign of Putin's willingness to cooperate:

You're fully aware of NATO expansion Eastward. Nato in Ukriane feulled the fire too, head of nato said himself not so long ago As you were fully aware, before fingers hit keyboard or bot farm started, that your bait and switch response is just more Russian propaganda. The question was about borders, stealing sovereign territory. What sovereign Russian territory did NATO steal? None. Did NATO even threaten to steal sovereign Russian territory? No. ... as Putin continues to threaten NATO capitals with nuclear annihilation. You could claim Putin's threats are just propaganda but then you go full lose-lose. Just like Putin's lose-lose war to steal Ukraine resources and reestablish Russia's outdated empire destroys Russia's economy.

So you don't understand Schrodinger. There was no paradox (a lay misnomer) nor did he suggest duality, his cat experiment was to disprove it. Much the same way as you don't understand Russia. Russia's economy is doomed because Putin is over spending to attack Ukraine and put Russia on a long term war footing. He also continues to spend on horrific doomsday weapons. You also don't understand Europe, which does take the threat seriously and is now scrambling to shore up defenses. What do you understand? Oh yes, Russian propaganda. You haven't missed yet.

Remind me again, which parts of of Russia were invaded and destroyed by NATO? Note: Russian propaganda is not meant to be logical, factual or, even counter factual, only to spread confusion.

Debunked by who? Vlad and team threatening to nuke European cities almost daily? Developing new and horrific doomsday weapons. EU countries scrambling to up there defenses? increase their defense budgets? Or simply all past history?

Along with Ukraine's new longer range weapons and the US dropping restrictions on US weapons, comes this. These brand new systems are were there to protect Moscow from Ukraine type weapons.

The new Secretary of Defense's comments, seemingly backed by Trump are no doubt disturbing. But, they are in stark contrast with two recent major developments aimed at derailing Putin's economy and war effort. First, a major push to finally stop Russia's shadow tanker fleet, currently Putin's primary source of revenue. Second, Trump's agreement with Ukraine to provide up to $0.5 trillion of new unrestricted weapons in exchange for Ukraine mineral development, the same minerals that prompted Putin's invasion to begin with. Odd. Capitulation to Putin and these other new developments are inconsistent. What's going on? Leaving domestic politics aside, one must assume Putin is alarmed at these other developments. Are the Sec Defs words meant to deflect attention from them?

Can you spot the illegal territorial invasion of Crimea and later brutal war on all of sovereign Ukraine? Hint 2014 and 2022. The only thing supporting minimal sales now is Putin wasting Russia's future economy to mass produce bombs and weapons to drop on civilians because his stone-age mind thinks that's how to win a war. Putin is you problem. Putin is everyone's problem, especially Russians'.

Here's your sign. When you know your economy is doomed. Russian official (a Russian in Russia) now saying the economy is so bad that no one from 20 to 50 years old will get pensions. He says don't listen to journalists (state propaganda) look at the numbers. Pensions are a big part of any economy.

Great info, for land value, go to https://landsmaps.dol.go.th/ and drill down to your house to see gov. appr. price. i think the going land value is around 3-6 times the appraisal price. (but differs widely around prime locations) That site leads to the gov site https://assessprice.treasury.go.th/, which has everything including satellite images. 3x the gov land estimate sounds about right and matches similar listings for ordinary moo bans I've seen. In Thailand generally speaking, most houses are sold not via fb/agents ect, but via mouth to mouth people who live near, and willing to pay more, than outsiders. I assumed this for a Thai moo ban and an agent I talked to today said the same. He was a Westerner selling homes part time in Buriram for 20 years. But he also cracked the secret code on true house evaluations. When I mentioned a house is worth what someone will pay, he said not exactly. A house is worth what a bank land assessor says it is as that determines what a buyer can borrow. Facepalm, of course. Logically, a bank wants to make the largest loan that will not lose on default. But I need to go the the local bank branch, probably in Phuthasisong. So at least my search for how to determine a reasonable price is done. Thanks everyone.

I'd say it's an ordinary Western or urban Thai style house. Thinking I may one day live in it, I brought a Bangkok contractor (who I knew) out to build it. I oversaw, made decisions on, and often purchased materials myself. More steel, more concrete, prefab stressed concrete floors, better tiles, roof, large rooms, etc. High quality aluminum frame windows with thick laminated glass. I don't like noise. I designed the wiring and lighting myself. It's a strong but otherwise ordinary house in an ordinary Thai moo ban. It's sits on deep pilings on top of concrete slabs with all required amulets, coins, and other spiritual items underneath. Nothing can go wrong. I'm told this may be more important to Thai buyers. I know the price of anything is determined solely by what a buyer is willing to pay so your point is right on. That's the price I'm looking for.

I haven't found any consensus on what is considered when calculating house area. I think probably more add in the outdoor areas than don't. I assumed Thailand = free for all but as I said I really have little experience. Thanks. But the 'base price' in the listing is set by the seller/agent, do they think I may offer more? Oh, are they suggesting to offer more in case of competing bids? EDIT Alternatively, I see base price may refer to price before any requested fix ups or alterations. Synonymous with "as is", buyer pays for any repair or upgrades.

So when you get to my time you'll realize it's a rigged lottery. But you hit the issue on the head. I'm selling a house in a Thai moo ban, almost certainly to a Thai though there is a small but growing number of Westerners. But times move on. 15 years ago they were building 'modern' Thai style homes, which are cheaper construction. Now with greater affluence and many Thai tired of big city Bangkok, some are moving back and building better quality homes. This is one reason pricing is not easy.

Yes, I see them here. https://williampropertythailand.com/ Thanks for the tip.
