  1. Abnb is cheaper then a hotel if you want to just stay in a room in someones house. You obviously have access to their home, kitchen, TV, etc. I personally cannot do it I am too use to my space and privacy. But, for a few weeks for many it may be doable.
  2. It is disgusting really. So selfish and 3rd world thinking. Can't blame any of the workers in the bars and massage shops just trying to support families.
  3. I believe some banks have them. I used a Thai lawyer to do it and it was accepted abroad.
  4. Another thing is the law states they get 30 days of sick leave a year. 30 days paid! So, take a holiday, call in sick a couple days a month, relax enjoy yourself. Also, the law states workers cannot work more then 48 hours a week. So, claims that they are forced to work many hours may be true. But, you would think there would be a lot of social media posts how their rights are being abused which is not the case.
  5. 26 in the above chart. All these holidays just add to lack of productivity and debt.
  6. Sure seems like a lot more then 13 or 16.

  7. Great to see some big rain.
  8. Do you eat dinner early? And seriously, what about her bowel movements? If she goes right when she wakes up then she might be hungry right away. Also, it can become habitual. I need coffee within 15 minutes of waking up or it affects my mood. Just more of a habit annoying if not. I would not see a Doctor could be a phase. And in reality, it is good I think she has an appetite and is not complaining about feeling sick.
  9. 1967 Chevy Z28. Blue with white stripes. Worth a small fortune now.
  10. Yes. It is also a filthy hole. Expats there wish they could live in Thailand, but many cannot afford it. But, people should go check it out a lower living standard and lower quality of life may be just what they are looking for.
  11. Yes, global warming everyone should go buy an electric car and stop eating meat.
  12. Malaysia? I thought it was the most racist country I had ever been. Terrible place, I left early and would not go back if you paid me.
  13. Wear noise canceling headphones. Good also if with wife cause don't want to listen to her either.
  14. 1 hour 15 minutes should be fine if all transfers in the same terminal. Noone can control if delays or cancel just part of the risks of flying.
  15. Doubtful. But, I look forward to the folks who say it is easy they did it. Just wear a suit and tie, shine your shoes, comb your hair, use mouth wash to get the booze off your breath, smile and flash 100,000 b to the teller.
  16. It will get worse as it costs to much and people will have to make sacrifices for it to improve.
  17. Self insurers are members of a liars club from my experience. They will tell you they have enough, but in reality very little available for care. If they have 3 million baht why not get a policy with higher deductibles with premiums a fraction of 3 mil.
  18. If she is threatening to report you to the police, but won't say why I bet deep down you know why.
  19. Possibly ruined his life for what? What a total tool.
  20. Yes location. I am in Hua hin and people are much friendlier then Pattaya. Even Bangkok is better then Pattaya.
  21. I have had a tire burst. Keep control, slow down and stop. This guy probably panicked and tried to steer out of it losing control and crashed.
  22. Cops here don't all carry guns. Especially this guy probably not as a Luietenant.
  23. Jeez, I thought I had met just about all of them. Guess I have a ways to go.
