Canadian man and Thai woman murdered in Khon Kaen
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
In Thailand, I always thought it was ....... 1. prison isn't any worse than their existing life or 2. they don't think the police will bother catching them or 3. the sentence will be trivial, pretend to be a monk for a week, etc. -
Most of us have pensions, not only can't I outlive my pension but neither can my wife. I use a lot of imported food, mostly cheaper now than in 2009. Typhoo tea bags now 100bht/100, back in 2009 tea bags were 200bht/100 (and I couldn't buy the brand I wanted). Cannabis very cheap now, I've replaced my daily alcohol (3x small beers = 100bht) with cannabis (0.5g = 15bht). Electricity is much cheaper, I'm 80% solar, monthly bills down from 1500bht to 200bht. Back in 2009 my entertainment was True (1,000bht+) and s/h books which were expensive, today I get all that and more for under 700bht (internet, books, movies, music, TV, HBO Go), probably 50% less than when I arrived.

Irishman’s life hangs by a thread after mosquito bite in Thailand

Alternatively, they could choose to use a government hospital instead of the most expensive private hospital outside the USA. -
7-11 takes 1000-Baht-bill for 100 Baht, shortchanges - your take?
BritManToo replied to henrik2000's topic in General Topics
All 7-11s have a camera pointed at the till to stop staff stealing. I'd have asked to see the video. As for the missing note, when stealing they slip it under the till, not in the cash drawer. -
This is a prime example of faulty logic! First, what percentage of your income is spent on pork ...... Almost nothing! Second, pension income is not fixed, in the past 2 years I've had nearly a 20% rise.

consider banning trolls from certain boards
BritManToo replied to siwiek's topic in Forum Support Desk
'thete must be more to the story than this' = troll every time. 'how were you dressed' is another one. -
Nah, delivery guy sends QR code to your phone, then leaves package with security guard.

My advice would be keep a track of your cod orders, and check the ’arriving in the next hour’ notification in your online delivery app.

I've never had a woman anywhere that supported herself. It's always been 100% paid for with my money.

typical retiree (foreign home) situation
BritManToo replied to jaxon's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No need to travel back to your home country, Cambodia and the Philippines are good, Vietnam is getting easier. If I wasn't already in Thailand, I wouldn't be retiring here. Never encountered anyone here on a O-A, all on Non-Os or Eds. -
