  1. Yes. I understand this. Sum Tam must cost a lot more in Chiang Mai 55
  2. I need to renew my non o based on retirement in Chiang Mai. Minus 800k ✌️ Please recommend the cheapest agent... Pattaya is about 13k.. The 2 agents I've contacted in Chiang Mai want 25k! 5555...for the exact same job... Renew visa Thanks
  3. Your reply is childish
  4. Chiang Mai is having it rough. Far fewer tourists than projected. Before the floods was the city solvent? The construction projects.. Especially the underground cable project is taking a long time.. Is it a cash flow issue? The city is probably adding up the cost of the floods right now. The damage is staggering to city property. I wonder how many businesses will be closed.. For 3 months or forever? Thai people are just getting back on their feet from covid debacle and now this. I see LOTS of empty shops in the city.. Far more homeless sleeping in the city and the graffiti has skyrocketed I'm guessing Chiang Mai is going to get worse economically speaking? Thoughts?
  5. I am looking for a condo in View Talay 2A...and dissapointed to learn that 3BB fiber optic is not available there. Is the NT company reliable at 1gb download? The install and registration fees total 3500.... Very expensive.
  6. Thanks for that in depth look at Chiang Mai.
  7. True. Sorry. I misspoke. I enjoy listening to good QUALITY singing /music. Nine years ago in the old nimman area were several philippine groups.. They were fantastic.
  8. Very interesting and useful reply... It's served as a sanity check for my own thinking. Thanks. I used to lived in Chiang Mai 2015/16 and it's just not the same... Even adjusting for low season... It's too quiet here. I'm retired... But I still enjoy live music... Just a simple guy singing and a guitar...I enjoy a city buzz... Tough to find here. I did visit Vietnam twice this year... Da Nang and Hanoi.. and yes... it's all very busy there... I was never short on company to chat with... I'm single and live alone... In either city in Vietnam. Vietnamese have gotten more accepting to foreign tourists while Thai... and it's palpable... Have simply shunned me...even the women don't think I'm as handsome now 555.. Seriously.. 9 years ago... meetings a pretty Thai girl.. Outside of a bar life was easy.. Not now.. No way. I gave up on the idea of living in Vietnam because the housing quality wasn't good... No condos.. Only apartment buildings... Which meant no accountability for the building owners... hence the lousy interiors full of issues. Maybe I should return there with a different perspective now that I have experienced this "new Chiang Mai" Nothing stays the same.. But I'm not liking Thailands direction... Please feel free to DM me if you want to meet for a coffee or 5 tequilas. Mii pen rii
  9. Cricket... Cricket.... See what I mean 5555
  10. I moved into floral condo a short time ago. I know it's low season but this place now seems abandoned... perhaps everyone left town because of the flooding? I've seen very few residents here... those that have see walk around with earphones in... I think is the new way of say.. FO and leave me alone 555. I'm being serious! Some still wear masks! Give me a break.. Anyhooo... today a notice was pinned outside the office announcing that as of today... September 28 the "executive committee" has quit... But in Thai language it's states.. "Completed their term" Is there something going on here that I need to be aware of? I shower daily.
  11. I don't think so. My initial non-o was actually made in the #1 office in Bangkok... my address was a hotel. Hence my surprise that I can't renew in a second immigration area using a hotel address. But... If I had all the answers I wouldn't be here 🤔✌️
  12. What? I said.. It should be OK.... I WAS NOT being arrogant. If I'm wrong... Let me know. The snotty reply doesn't really help me. So...I'm not free to travel in Thailand? I can't live in 2 different immigration areas?
  13. Probably not... I would want to stay in hotels and move around a bit. The hotel would file the tm30 (s) There should be no law against this.
  14. I'm now living in chiang mai. However my plan is to stay in Pattaya or Krabi from February through March /April... Because of the smokey season in Chiang Mai. My non o based on retirement is due March 2. I plan on renewing when I'm at the beach. When I return to Chiang Mai and do my first 90 days will this raise any eyebrows?
  15. I haven't seen any DTV application failures! Not here and not an Facebook. Everybody is a success. Really? If I apply... Plonk down 10k thb or more... If I'm not successful I lose that money. I assume. I live here in a non o based on retirement...i can switch no problem? But I'm not supposed to work with my current visa. Now all of a sudden I'm working as a digital nomad because I have a few websites... Which is true... But my income comes from pension funds. My intuition says stick with my non o visa. Thoughts?
  16. The plane was driven 10 meters into the mud? Unless the wings came off.. I'm guessing this was deliberate... a passenger did it? Planes fly.. Even with no power. They do not hit the ground perpendicular
  17. I now live in Chiang Mai. My extension needs to be renewed every March. Perfect timing... I'll spend smokey season.. March and April in Jomtien.. then return to Chiang Mai. Nothing wrong with this.
  18. Did this sort of sh** happen 20/30 years ago in Thailand?
  19. Arrest him and lock him up just for wearing those hideous clothes. He was probably drunk when he bought them. I hope. 555
  20. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Thailand has an Election Commission. Now that's funny
  21. Why bother going to Thailand at all? Especially if they couldn't afford it. Arrange for his ashes to be shipped. All done.
  22. Things are changing fast 555. I'm gonna need more popcorn 555
  23. Axed? So fired. But not really. Whaaaaat?
  24. Terrible AI written article. "mixed reaction" to his overstay? 5555. I doubt that. Bye bye
  25. In this past week I've received several calls from a country code +697. There is no such country code. Further research tells me that +697 and +698 are scammer call centers. Do not answer. Then block
