    Wiki says ......... Richard Branson dropped out of school when he was 16. His mom was a ballet dancer (back in those days showbiz was low class)

    You do understand a person can be both low class, uneducated and rich? David Beckham, Richard Branson, George Best, to name a few.

    Same for me, but I learned very early on to consider it a 'tip' for the landlord. And never give more than 1 month on a 1 year contract. Guess this lady was a newcomer to Thailand.

    No I'm saying living a life full of hate does nobody any good. Not the people that post their hate, not the people that read their hate. Stealing is wrong, vandalism is wrong.

    Nope, you need to show a Thai bank statement showing deposits of 65kbht+ for the past year, Your bank account, nobody else!

    Easy to see what happened, it's written on the wall. Lady rented for 1 year, deposit 32,000bht Year ends, Lady waits for return of deposit, "I'm not leaving until I get my money back" 2 weeks later no returned deposit, so trashes the apartment. There is no legal way to get your money back. Court action will take at least 2 years, and most tourists can't sit in Thailand doing nothing for that long.

    https://s.lazada.co.th/s.EAcLq But you gotta buy them on sales days with vouchers, to get them at 60bht Inc delivery.

    Agree, maybe the art supplies, but buy everything else here.

    If I were a tourist on a sabbatical, it'd be Thailand under 60 days, Vietnam under 45 days, then Phillipines for as long as I like because they ain't counting. Why the desperation of all these 'tourists' to stay in Thailand?

    When I'm feeling lazy it's cow pat gung @ 42bht.

    I just looked on Agoda for accomodation in Chiang Mai, loads for under 400bht/night and half of them had decent pools.

    Science museum, Victoria and Albert museum, Natural History museum, British museum, Hyde Park, Kensington gardens ......... I never visit anywhere else.

    They certainly are at Huay Tung Tao lake, and Queen Siri?? Botanical gardens in Chiang Mai. I don't think they are bothered what colour skin the foreigners have, just over 60.

    Did you pay the park warden direct? The guides like to charge the foreigner price, then give the warden the Thai price. The last time I went to Koh Samet I refused to pay the park price on the boat, they phoned the park warden to meet the boat as they had a problem foreigner. I handed the park warden my Thai D/L and the Thai price, as I exited the boat, which he took, returned my D/L and walked away.

    It's all over now Nestle won and are back in the shops. Just a problem in April.

    They never advertise over 60s have free entry, but in many places that's the rule.

    Longest storm less streak in 50 years, so the storms they aren't having are of higher intensity? Only a lefty could say that!

    CNN says the opposite https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/27/weather/tropical-cyclone-frequency-21st-century-climate/index.html And in 2024-2025 ....... longest storm less streak in 50 years https://www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane/5-reasons-behind-the-historic-absence-of-tropical-storms-this-hurricane-season/1688808

    Impossible, as I'm 70 and already outlived most of my friends and family. On the other hand, maybe their food choices were even worse than mine. Can't say I've noticed food inflation in Thailand exceeding my foreign income inflation though. I'm guessing they can't afford to push up Thai prices, as they'd force, loan defaults, starvation and maybe even civil unrest.

    If I take your last 3 years, 153k to 167k My pension has risen by 20% in that 3 years, exchange rate same. So my 153k + 20% = 184k Vs 167k Essentially I'm 17kbht better off now, just on food.

    Evening out in Chiang Mai, Moose cider at rooftop Jungle bar 100bht La Casita, Spicy pork taco, chicken taco, chips and dip with a coke 200bht (inc tip). Small Leo in the Moat house rooftop bar 85bht with live music. Hardly expensive!
