I have a lower floor unit, great sea breezes and no bugs, plus easy access if there's a fire or lift issues, the benefits of a higher up condo are over rated

lol funny guy..

When you cannot tax anymore, encourage women to work.

when you cannot tax anymore, put a tax on pre mixed Bev, wines, beers

When you cannot tax anymore, decrim weed.

When you cannot tax anymore, tax foreigners

No one has mentioned of the already allocated funds which have been generated from this? The government was very quick to drop the import tax on wine this year + other incentives. I wonder how the govt will account for the money if they restrict a large taxable item such as weed. BTW does anyone know the % of total rev?

They already do ask for passports.For the moment you can always find an exchange that won’t .

Correct, but it is only photo copied.

It would not take long to start uploading users license or passport details to a portal.

This is definitely the start of a new era.

So how long until TT Exchange start requiring passports for MONEY exchange. Well they already do but will it turn from a photo copy to an online system?

Congrats on 200 pages of waffle everyone

This thread didnt even hit 200 pages.

Hahaha. Medical advice from Tiktok. Hahaha 

The guy wears the monitor, tries different food and checks for results, The origins of the social media post are irrelevant. You have been added to ignore.

The tiktok guy has proven that eating vegetables before your carbs lowers your spikes, or drinking one shot of apple cider vinegar in water before meals also works. Interesting and fun to watch his videos

You can use Lanolin. Does not block pores and does wonders.

You may have to open a new Google account in order to facilitate that… and to find a VPN that has servers in India…

No new google account required.

On your regular google account connct to VPN, click premium and sign up. I use my Aussie CC and enter a random Indian address. If India is not on your VPN turkey is also cheap about 75b a month.

If you VPN to philippines, it becomes 159peso (about 90b), if you VPN to India its 50b per month.

You only need to sign up with VPN then its ongoing automatic.

suprised this doesnt happen more.

I QR scan alot and alot of staff take the photo of my phone without even looking.

The funny thing is the technology exists to have verification at both ends but no one uses it (such as makro)

 It is possible that a local alternative to picalilli in Thailand could be pickled papaya or pickled shallots. These can be found in some supermarkets or local markets. Alternatively, there are many spicy and tangy condiments in Thai cuisine, such as nam prik pao or nam pla prik, which could be used as a substitute.

actually i tried the links above for the mustard greens but they are too cruncy, where i want the texture of the cauliflower.. i will test the villa market one and try to contact the guy in buriram too.

i let the gogo girls know they are pushing the plump side. its gods work but someone has to do it

Does anyone know what the local alternative to picalilli is here? Used to love it on my sangas.  Does the thai do something similar such as this?

I lived in SG and flew to ac or pattaya for my weekends instead of sitting there like a schmo at clark quay for 17 sg a beer.

In sydney i hit Mr Bs and they still do $14 jugs of great northern midweek and $15 carlton dry jugs on weekends.

I could be at places which 12 buck schooeys but why?

Maybe in London, sure. I bought and lived in a flat in London I bought for £68k and sold 10 years later for £380k. It's exceptional. Ask any Aussie, Kiwi or Safa. Everybody got rich in those days. But here? You've got to be kidding!

I did that in sydney. Bought a place for 1m AUD, Paid it off in 9 years now valued at 3m aud.

Pattaya bought for 150k AUD (when exchange was 30-1) and now valued at between 6-7m thb which is 300k. Crap investment considering i could have borrowed another 500k aud and tripled it but who wants to do that over and over... we living the dream over here ma bois

in fact, i'm thinking of doing that very thing run tum, just not in thailand. need to do it in home country where it's stable and not subject to visa and tax policy hassles that put it at risk. also, i want land in my name only and not just a condo.

 

i want to own something that's completely mine free and clear. no loans. no co-owner. no hoa. no condo board.

That is exactly right, own your own piece of land in your home country where-ever that is. In thailand a condo is the prime option. No reliance on thai, thai lawyers, own name, sea views all for 1/10th of the cost of back home. For those who already have their own homes paid off this is the logical next step.. the holiday home in p*ssy island

Your talking about a cheap shoe box, decent condo like mine 100sq m 2 bedroom and hugh balcony with partial sea and pool views good location rents start at 25,000 a month here, since mine is fully renovated with new western furniture not your Thai big C stuff 30,000 a month wouldn't be far off the mark.

 

We are all different, I like the idea the place is mine and I have security, apart form the 55B per sq m fee per year and 600 city council tax that's it low costs with some peace of mind, I personally hate paying rent....yes im well aware that condos dont appreciate well here and I took that into consideration, bought as corvid was finishing the cost of buying in here has risen I did dropped over a million on a full reno so im still behind but then again I thought if I ever got my money back if I sold id count myself lucky, its all about how I live right now that's important to me, at my age im unlikely to pack up and leave but you never know, can always rent it out from where ever you are in the world...

Quality condos will always sell and are always in demand. If one is stupid enough to buy in a building with 300 x 30sqm apartments for sale, yes you will find it hard to sell. I have been looking around for a second condo and its basically impossible to find a gem under 6-7m baht. Unobstructed Sea view condos are rare and command a premium, as well as 2 bed, 2 bath condos over 80sqm unless you want to travel far down jomtien. Corner units are also a premium as you double / triple your light and view.
