There are so many experts here I wonder if they will grant me my unfinished economics degree in Finland when I tell them I've read AseanNOW forums almost daily for contemporary lessons.

Usually two weeks is my max but I've stretched it to 3 couple of times. More than that, I just can't stay away that long. 🤷

Why even pick up these cases? You pay a price for stupidity, take responsibility and move on.

Oh! What about the xxx billions put in new flood drains right next to it? Or they still digging up the same spot next to Pattaya Avenue for a fifth year?

Will this go hand in hand with the idea of decriminalizing small amounts of methamphetamines for personal use? Might double the profits.

Protect and serve. 🫡 Must be the famous "good guys in, bad guys out" doctrine effectively at work.

He didn't stir anything. His SISTER did, out of all the others who didn't care to for good reason. He's been recorded on flights, he was out of touch and he was fine. No one is expected to stay in touch with anyone and it is nothing to worry about. Get off social media and close your phone for a few weeks, will do good.

Airports or airlines don't disclose personal information to anyone but the person, unless it's a police inquiry. So far there has been no official inquiry or even a missing persons report.

When it's a missing person's case, the police would get information. Brits didn't declare it as a missing person's case and no personal details should be released of any private person to anyone but themselves. Not family, not friends, not spouse.

If it becomes legal there should be no argument against using perfectly safe & moral services while supporting a fresh new business.

Honestly I didn't see anything wrong with this. Doesn't even come close to how undeveloped Thailand in reality is.

If there's a white man here who opposes this for some moral or ideological, or any, reason I've certainly seen everything.

If only there was a police force in Thailand. Currently we only have a paramilitary organization of questionable motives.

I need to connect some European services for work which are running very slowly recently, like, so slow my work is impossible. Upgraded True fiber to 100/100 and it gives good speeds most of the time but still had issues with my work. Then I ran the Ookla speedtest to Finland. How is this even possible?

Not getting a handy.

Bro with his daughter as the party leader of Pheu Thai and the PM a man who will do anything the party leadership says, regardless how ridiculous, I'd say he's been in full control from the moment they signed that deal to end Move Forward party and allow his return into the country.

For a decade? Try since the dawn of time. Thailand has always been controlled by a small elite completely detached from reality of the common people.

"Aow how I know"

Just let it be, Boss literally just accidentally killed one of his dogs (a police officer) and being spineless and without honor the whole police force got together to protect him after. Good riddance.

Time to increase the prices of some daily use consumer goods by 10-20% again! We won't feel it they say, but apparently they do.

We both wear the pants. The family is a business and we're a team running it, no "my role should be this and that" required when you communicate and everyone really wants the same things (in a nutshell: comfort, time for activities/hobbies, companionship, money). Do we get into arguments? Yes. Can we figure it out by together dissecting whatever is the problem? Yes. We also switch who wears the pants in the bedroom, depending on mood. Here too we're open and communicate and essentially want the same thing, so it's pretty simple to have fun.

My kids got iron tablets with every vaccination and medical check from like 1yo onwards, every six months or so. No blood test, no explanation, just assumption that everyone's anemic. I understand many rural Thai kids might be, so I reckon that is the reason to just cut corners and give it to everyone. Classic Thailand, binned every single bag.

I'm a sole provider for a family of four, two dogs and a cat. Bills, schools, groceries and shopping, gym memberships, hobbies, other activities.

It is absolutely so much cheaper. Mostly from space and amenities to comfortably cook for yourself, grow your own <deleted>, build your own <deleted>, maintain and repair your own <deleted> (vehicles etc). That being said, if you're not willing to put down for a house and some land and not willing to be proactive with almost everything, then it's not for you. When you're ready for that managing personal finances and cutting costs will be much easier, also less temptations around here. I cook 90% of my own foods, do all my bike repair and maintenance myself, grow a bunch of fruit, herbs, veggies on site. Whatever we don't have at home is extremely cheap in local fresh markets and they are actually fresh. I live around 7k from Udon Thani city, and even in town restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, bars are half price from larger cities. I make roughly 100k a month and living in Bangkok I had 10k to save monthly, in Pattaya maybe 20k and in Udon Thani I don't spend much more than 50k on everything. Some words to end this with, while many basic necessities are somewhat cheaper, moving to "the sticks" makes you change your perspective and lifestyle to be less reliant on outside services = lower cost of living, increased value.

Hello fellow expatriates, Anyone know for certain if there is a direct bus to Pattaya from the new Krung Thep Aphiwat Centre, or do they still leave from the Mo Chit Bus Terminal? No guesses or maybes please, there's a bunch of that online already. Thank you.
