And it was the old guy starting trouble at the young peeps front door. Which was probably why the olds got charged, in Asia they are very protective of residents on/near their property. Elderly foreigner starts trouble and gets an excessive beating. Best to avoid all confrontation.

Tried to take my phone while I was looking at Google maps walking around the town. My grip was stronger then the snatcher riding pillion though, he almost fell off. Warned never to carry anything valuable in the m/c basket (Siam Reap). Never walk on the sidewalk nearest the road (Phnom Penh).

Wifi IS everywhere, unless you're out trekking in the jungle very little need for phone data. Coffee shops, bars, restaurants, hotels, condos ............. Ask for password in every venue once, when having a coffee or beer, use it forever more. Usually faster than the phone data as well. Same in Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines. Enjoy your trip!

Not much in the way of property tax, insurance or maintenance costs on a rented home in Thailand. Rents in Chiang Mai haven't risen in the past 15 years either. My village in the burbs (12Km from moat), 3 bed house rented for 10kbht/month when it was built 12 years back, now they rent for 8kbht/month.

Contact Hargreaves-Lansdown https://www.hl.co.uk/ These are the only investment company that didn't try to cheat me, they have many options for you to to choose from.

Night market where the cooks don't wash their hands after taking a poop, and the food sits out in the sun all day ...... 7-11 food is sealed, safer and microwaved in front of you!

There is no requirement for being able to swim. Divers wear wetsuits and buoyancy jackets. Which fulfil all boat safety requirements. Obviously this doesn't prevent stupidity, and some people take them off.

2x cow pat gung, 1x grapow moo = 120bht. Why pay for bottled water when what comes out the tap is perfectly good? And if you don't like water, typhoo tea is 120bht for 100 bags, use each one twice.

Monthly Condo in central Chiang Mai 5,000bht (Emporium residence Santitham), electricity and water 500bht, 3 hot meals a day from 7-11 opposite (110bht x 30) 3,300bht. wifi included. That's all your living essentials for 8,800bht a month (under $300).

Airfares are so expensive I expect international travel to reduce everywhere. I haven't been anywhere since COVID doubled airfares, before I was doing 6-8 flights a year.

Of course, so do American liberals.

More likely shut down by remote command from China. Might be a good idea to unplug the wifi dongle.

Your preferred leadership likes killing foreigners in foreign countries ........ that's your moral conviction. Kill thousands with carpet bombing, then save a few with vaccines.

If it were that deadly, we would have all died of it by now.

She can do what she likes during the day, but I've bought all her nights

Look on the bright side, You won't be complaining about the price of wine in Thailand any more! Back to the OP, I didn't think the UK made steel or aluminum any more.

2x Must inverters at 24kbht each, purchased in 2021.

The guy reporting 2x failed inverters had them working together, one took the other with it. I'd say best would be 2x 5k inverters but not connected. One does upstairs, and the other downstairs. It's what I'll do if I feel the need to expand.

Alternatively, you could learn to use less.

Time to remove some judges, lawyers and courts from the countries tit!

In our society we are indoctrinated from birth that our wife will be loyal and faithful and supportive. Doesn't matter how smart you are, indoctrination nearly always wins. Only experience allows us to break free, they will be unfaithful, they will asset strip you, they will bear false witness against you, they will deny you access to your children, NONE are different, it's in their genetic programming. Only fear of extreme punishment (or lack of opportunity) will stop this. Allowing it to happen a second time is what sorts smart from stupid! In Muslim countries where women gain nothing from divorce, and death from cheating, there is neither divorce nor cheating.

All women do that, impossible to stop them.

And we'll wreck all the cars made by manufacturers we don't like, even if they all owned by lefties!

With a 300 billion net worth what problems do you think he has? For the man that has anything he wants, why shouldn't he play politics. The lefties don't seem to have a problem with Bill Gates or that girl singer playing politics!

My spellchecker adds more problems than it catches! Back to the OP, I'm smarter than everyone, no need to specifically look down on Thais!
