Im not quite sure i understand this? Factions? I was aware that teacher and School director jobs had a bribe cost if you wanted to move to a better location. But now they are saying the tests for assistants are changed to make it easier to select candidates feom certain factions? And they will be checking validity of advanced degrees? Only in Thailand.

Even in the village, a amall one maybe 50 houses, wifes family try to never leave the house unattended. They worry someone may walk in and take things. There are known drug dealers and i guess people are afraid to turn them in. There is a benefit for having the old dog with a rep for biting strangers. I would think UT would be boring at 3am.

Not sure what it will do but kicking myself for not buying a Bitcoin at 13,xxx . A total loss wouldn't hurt but if it really pops someday I would be a part of it. My concern is it takes to much energy to maintain, to few transactions available, plus it has zero intrinsic value. Good luck for those in it. Musical chairs

The OP hasn't left the chat but i wouldn't blame him with the flames so harsh. He answered back to many posts on page 3 or 4. First off I cant blame anyone for wanting to live in a secure abode/estate area in Thailand. Anything less is a risk you may regret. Lots of security guards arent really trusted. My wife had the keys to the building on Suk and it was her job to go at 7am to let the cleaners in because the gate guards didn't get keys. We all have read the threads how some guys are happy and survive on 40k a month and the ethical debate about partaking in the oldest profession never stops. I think its fun to imagine all lifestyles and appreciate them. Obviously a guy cant really last long doing ladies every night. Life will get in the way. Regular dinners with friends, bday parties, travel, special ones. Why is it legal and supposedly moral for a person to sell his time, brain, sweat but not his her body? Pro football players are at risk for lifetime disabilities for example. Miners and deep sea fishers have very risky careers according to the data. For me I like the idea of 4 "special" gals on the payroll. That should be similar cost ro a mia noi but 4 times the variety. On the market, what % of women would be "special"? I would imagine 50% woukd be dead fish. Quality over quantity sounds best to me.

Can you explain keep? and is it an exclusive deal? And approximate cost/per head and are these 6's or 8's? Asking for OP. So I'm thinking living in that gated estate is important to the OP. And surely his reputation cant be that of a farang bringing a new gal home everyday. So he will also require a crash pad. But if he is crashing there everynight does he need his 70k estate house? In a few years OP may want to settle down and could find a quality partner with his resources but quality women will be interested in his past and his reputation. There are forums where this info is diseminated i have heard. At a minimum There is the cursed FB.

Put 250k towards a different car. Let that baggage go. Your only losing 150k by your resale estimate. Thanks for providing others and me with a look into the thai mind. You bought her a car many years ago. It was never yours. Be thankfull you got to use it so long. The real loser here is the not so ex,ex. Her credit should be shot. And she would have so much smarter to take the car and sell it 4 years ago.

Wouldn't gains in a Roth be taxable if she was residing in Thailand? What is the income where taxes start and the rates? A Roth would let that income show, which may be better for her to improve her own credit rating. How much gold ( bar or coin) can she travel with? Of course it seems real 99.999 gold isnt so valuable in Thailand.

You watch pornhub too. I hate their noises. How can they all sound so similar and non stimulating ?

I guess the OP is firm on this daily P4P idea but he should keep it discreet because he may find he could attract a real quality , sexy, attractive,educated, motivated business gal 20 yrs his junior if he has 180k/ mo. And she wouldn't have to fake it.

Seems like the nest place to post my question. Wife 46, me 63. We live in USA. Trying to decide between putting money for wife in Roth or traditional IRA? I'm assuming at some point she will return to Thailand maybe me too. But low chance for me. I'm worried that the politicians will raise taxes on traditional IRAs in the US. But maybe that would be lower than the Thai taxes might be on the gains in the Roth IRA. So I'm trying to imagine my wife in old age living in a Thai village with hers and my SS benifits and maybe a Roth or trad IRA and wondering the tax ramifications. Its so stupid we have to spend time thinking of these things rather than enjoying life. One more note: one post said he was contributing 1k each month to an IRA for wife and him, but limits are 6500 or 7500 over 50? Didnt see how that info was accurate.

Everything is relative. I'm not sure i could have properly taken advantage of a pro everyday even when I was 20. Not sure I would be satisfied with a gal with those distant looks on their faces you see on pornhub. But if you alter your rent 50k all in. And exercise every other night 50k That leaves you with 8o+k for food and drink. But .. some guys find a nice live in gal and survive on 50- 60k. So even if you say 85k then that leaves 100k for a Mia noi. Wife tells me they are not cheap. Main thing is you wont be able to hang with your rich buddies unless they are generous.

This first OP and the post above sounds like chat gpt!

I realize i would charge at home. Probably try to use solar. But the whole of Thailand can fit in Utah and Nevada. When we take a road trip it can be 500 miles or 800 easy. On the open remote highways I'm just saying you will need charging station numbers that reflect the difference in times to fill a tank with petrol and to charge a battery and % of ev's to accommodate the same vehicle numbers. In these wide open places increasing the foot print of a charging station will be easy but in more rural areas how will they fit? And the real estate will cost so much more Or will people rent ice for long trips or need to keep the old one? What about road trips into the back country? Its one thing to have a gas can but a dead battery 20 miles from nowhere is going to be expensive to solve. Can you charge one ev from another?

Ive heard of some businesses wanting to expand their shop but told it will be a year to get a transformer. I think some import restrictions on the Chinese plus all the weather related power line isssues. Gow is this going to effect the ramp up of charging stations? Like I've said in another thread. If charging an ev takes 30 min, 6 times longer than an ICE we meed starions with 100 chargers all over the place that requires 6 times the footprint not even considering the area fir a que line. Biden has tried to help in this area but its going to have to be profitable. At 63 this may not happen in my lifetime.

Eggs are under 4$/dz. There were millions of chickend who got avian flu. Im sure some of you blame biden. School lunches up 300% i dont know but nothing else on that list was close to 100. Why dont you guys ever rant on oil companies with record profits? Avacados been .79$ all summer. Pork butt 2.29$/# cheaper than Thailand Beer pretty good IPA 5% Squatters 17.99$/12 pack. Yes up 1$ in last 3 years. Thats 53 baht for a decent beer. 3x less than Thailand. Its also easy to make 75-125$/ hour doing handyman jobs for boomers.

I dont know anything in the USA that has had 100% price increase the last 2 years. Plywood amd lots of building products went skyhigh in mid 21' due to people remodeling spurred by covid and low interest rates leading to record home starts. By so many measures right now the economy is doing quite well.

Please do tell us your theory or the reasons the democrats in your opinion were somehow related to your auto dealer inventory size? . 8 watch a YouTuber who travels to auto dealers to check inventory and prices. Truck inventory and prices are at a high. Lots stuffed with teucks but prices 65- 120k for the raptor.

Wheres the mods? I feel for ya. Our visit to ankor wat was a money pit ripoff from the time immigration gave me a torn 20$ back from my 50$. That was worthless paper I found out. Welcome to Cambodia. Yes the temple was amazing but the trashy surroundings negated 80% of that. And yes i was pissed the exchange people wanted a 5% cut for doing nothing. Our taxi from the airport to hotel seemed like a good deal but that was just so he could charge us way to much for the next days tour. Several fancy American trucks in town next to the poor. The divide between rich and poor was more in your face. We stayed close to the downtown party area but it just never hit critical mass. There was this group of backpack looking tourists who had a good time. They partied at a portable booze van bar across from our hotek till dawn. The music was blaring and shut off about the time we went fur a morning walk. Poor drunk gals who are going to waste away their vacation day with a hangover. Food nothing special. We didnt get sick was the best part.

Very nice. My first thought was it would ne cool if there was a sustainable population of deer to harvest one or two from your vantage point.

My biggest complaint is that the mods let bickering and fighting take over a topic. My 2nd is when people obviously post without reading the related article. Three times of that should be a perm ban. And the mod who put me in jail for spelling the sexual predator, indicted felon, and ex president of the USA's name with a small t and big R should be fired.

Moved 100 yards to a better retrieval spot sounds ok. But where does "company policy prevents" ever come into a murder crime scene? Except Thailand. I would think yiu set up a crime scene at the initial sighting location company rules, productivity be dammed. That river does have current and is obviously thought if as a trash dump.

I find this ironic. When people are bashing people on neighborhood social groups who leave ICE idling and some cities ban idling how do we justify using aircons in EVs at a standstill. How do we know yiu charged up with yiur own solar vs a CO2 belching power plant? Wow, almost 40 pages and KhunLA still preaching.

Did you get there early enough for your afternoon pick of the litter?

I think its exploding. I think korea is a big influence. Just look at hiw they all try to look the same. Fix the eyes Fix the nose, i hate to see 2 headlight nostrils. Asians are actually doing major bone surgeries to the lower jaw to have a more pointy vs round lower face. I see these massive lips in USA and some women have these cat faces and their lips hardly move when they talk. How will these surgeries look in 10-20 years. Also breast enhancements that only have a life of 10-15 yesrs before needing renewed. Natural is what i like. I can appreciate self inflected scars.

So its promoting rent a GF for a month? Glad to see the gals are natural. Didn't watch it.
