I can buy many drugs here for a fraction of price of my home country price. It doesn't mean its fake. Its not a great business' model, if they go to all the trouble of producing a fake product, packaging etc, only to sell it for little/no profit.

This isn't a story about number plates, its an advertisement for laundry detergent. Expect to see the guy on TV, pointing at a box of FAB, with a caption "its the brand I use"

What does correct price mean ? Is there a mandated price set by the government, or a recommended retail price ?

Yes, 1,000s of foreigners do company ownership of properties in Chonburi. There are no restrictions as such as to what the company, with minority (49%) foreign shareholders, can own. A quick google search will bring up lots of commentary, opinions, legalities etc. Using a company, solely to circumvent property ownership laws, isn't exactly legal, but its also not strictly illegal, its tolerated, and may be subject to change in the future.

I think people would be shocked at the number of people that pass away inflight worldwide. Other than recent covid, this story would probably not even merit a mention. I had an air hostess girlfriend back in Australia, and she had experienced it twice in her career. And that was domestic flights.

I'm on the darkside and walk to everything, I literally have chilled shopping mall with tops etc, at my front gate. restaurants, dentists, doctor, bars.

I'm in khaonoi, and there are lots of behind closed door bars around me, maybe not strictly gogos but not much different.

I think the whole range anxiety thing will pass, I read about a start-up in the US that does a mod to your EV where they fit a socket in the trunk/boot and they then have a network of portable battery pack sellers/hirers. The idea being if you want extra range or find yourself caught short, you grab a batt pack, put it in the trunk/boot, gives you an extra/backup 100 ks. You can exchange the batt pack at any reseller for a charged up one, the same as exchanging a gas bottle for the BBQ. I see a whole generation of EV users that wont charge, just swing by and get a new batt pack.

Those cameras cost 300-400 baht (local mall or lazada), and you own it, and don't need to pay 50 bht a month (600 a year) to 3bb. They are simple to install, plug it into a light socket, fire up the app, follow the prompts. They record to an SD card, and to the cloud. You dont need 3bb to sell it to you for way more than it costs, or set it up.

OP, there are literally 10,000 condos that would fit your criteria. Comes down to personal choice. You can live above a bar, or a couple of kilometers away in a quiet soi, you can be beachside, suburban or semi rural. Get setup in a hotel and look around. Most expats end up around at Jomtien or over the darkside

1500 Baht is a bit rich, 500 would be a reasonable price for a clean. As others have said, its a couple of screws to get the back off, a bit of compressed air to blow dust away etc. I got a new keyboard fitted to a dell laptop recently, the keyboard and fitting it cost 1,000 baht.

That can certainly work, but where the OP is looking its mostly gated moobaans, you cant really cruise around looking for signs as they wont let you in.

You will find a lot of listing on facebook marketplace and facebook buy/sell groups nowadays. Even agents do most of their advertising on there. That's where I found my house in soi khaonoi. The location here would suit you as there is a TOPs supermarket, restaurants etc, across the road. It can still be a bit of a battle getting the location as some people will put a map location thats accurate, others will say east pattaya, and its in Rayong.

When did they start checking passports at traffic stops ?

So if I don't want to lose point and lose my license, I can just pay the tourist without a license fine, and keep my Thai license

I dont think the guy has lost much, its literally a couple of cheap tables and chairs, a television and a (probably owned by coca cola) refrigerator. I don't get what the guy is renting, or thinks he owns, A roof ???? He could take the extensive quality fittings with him and move on. Would it still be a "sports bar" without a TV ??????

Its often a requirement for lots of Thai government offices, especially places like courts etc. The enforcement can vary, even some immigration offices are pretty strict and will deny entry.

30 kms ????

You can install a vpn at a router level, then all devices on the router are using the vpn, but its a lot of stuffing around, and you then need to go into router to turn on/off etc. In the case of your TV, the vpn would be installed on the tv. But lots of smart TVs are limited as to what apps/vpn setup you can have. You may be able to do something like have the vpn on a PC/laptop then share the PC internet with the TV. Or cast the PC to the TV. Not exactly legal, but there are lots of apps for getting geolocked content. Redbox, TVmob, swiftstreams etc.

Not a bad investment, but if he has been doing that twice a month, 3.8k a month. Thats getting up near half a low paid Thai's monthly wage. 46K a year, I wonder how many years he has been "investing" ?

There are several agents that sell online, and some specialize in selling outside of Thailand. The Thai agents do everything in Thai baht. This site is in english and points to the various agents https://thaiglo.org/buy-and-sell

I believe anyone can buy online. https://thaiglo.org/buy-and-sell

You can buy tickets from vendors or online via a website, its the same lottery, the same tickets. If you wanted more than the tickets the vendor has, then you would need to buy online. vendors dont carry an unlimited amount of every ticket.

OP, it may well have been a bit of dirt/water in fuel. Have you been filling up from the 30 baht Hong thong bottles lately ? Water in fuel can be deceptive as when you are just pottering around you don't notice it, but when you rapidly open the throttle it has a dramatic effect.
