  1. No surprise here. I'm sure many HISO interested in reading the benifits like they did with the teachers. Loans so high compared to income that the final repayment won't occur until the teacher is 85 or dead and the required expensive life insurance policy pays off the loan. Loan in payments more than 50% of salary so the loan payment is greater than retirement income. I'm sure the same loan troubles are with immigration employees.
  2. All this materialistic craze is fueled by the media, advertising, tv stars, online influencers, etc. An example is the desire of owning an iPhone. When I bought my wife an Samsung S10 6 months ago the comment from her best friend was all Thai women want an iphone. To bad Thai people are being sold this load of bull.
  3. 25% positive test results in Colorado. Record high case numbers in Colorado and Utah today. Utah 7400 cases for 3 million. I drove past test station cars backed up 400 meters.
  4. Bitcoins transaction time is to long and expensive and it's transactional volume is to low according to Elon. Not to mention it's high energy costs. Crypto may be here to stay but not Bitcoin.
  5. Are you guys using metric numbers? Or inches. 2x2 m. 12 m long? 3x5 and plane down to 2x2. Can't be cm I don't think. 2cm x 2cm not big enough forany things 9 don't think.
  6. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/most-of-the-world-s-vaccines-likely-won-t-prevent-infection-from-omicron/ar-AARXuDf Pretty bleak times ahead in USA the next month. I worry about the rest of the World without access to mRNA shots
  7. Wouldn't a bar owner have to check out each new gals qualifications?
  8. You gotta admit if a guy travels to see a girl he met online that's true love. If this guy has to back up his estimates by backing it with $. They think the numbers are going to go up? I bet there won't be as many entries in Dec as November. Will he take that bet?
  9. What's your secret sauce to get the tape sticky off? Goo gone? So if the total is 100k but only 300 k are looking at Thai pass? How does that add up to 500k? Surely not all that look at Thai pass submit. And some just poking around. And some looking for next year. Why don't they have a way to sort out tourists, business, and returning to family in the system and report that. Why has this guy been fired?
  10. Wow. I love plumbing like this. Or I loved it, Until I started using PEX and crimps. So far no one has explained why the OP feels the upstairs shower flow increases when he runs the sink at the same time. So far my imagination can only think of one thing and I haven't looked at the pump specs. The low pressure switch, if it has a high and low one. But this doesn't make sense unless OP just observed the low flow for a short time before the pump kicked in. Is there a pressure reservoir? Rubber boot in a can? By turning on the faucet the low pressure switch would kick on the pump sooner and seem to make the shower flow more as the pressure rises to the high limit. But in the long term after pump nears high limit turning the faucet off should increase shower flow. I think OP need to test some pressures upstairs and down with flow on and off. And also communicate with someone watching the pump kicking on and off. I even thought maybe upstairs is on a loop or something but can't imagine how turning on the faucet increases shower flow in steady state conditions. Please post more info because this sort of puzzle can be solved from a couch.
  11. So I'm there is a government rubber buying program . Like the rice scandal. Experimental road construction method? Just imagine how much graft on a space program? Many salivating at the mere thought. I hope the idea 9f the space program popping up at this time tells the voters what they need to know.
  12. Follow the money. In this case who owns that land with a road and electric?
  13. Because most all the crooks live there. This is a start. Good luck Thailand
  14. driving down the road I see a farmer lost a sack Of it and it was just lying beside the road ! Entourage? How many people does it take to make one capable man?
  15. I bet there is a lot of buildings changing hands in Pattaya. For the new patts. Family friendly, 80% Thai tourists.
  16. So they want wealthy tourists? Hmmm. Was this a Thai person or foreigner?
  17. Guess I was lucky on my trips with a big suitcase full of new Coach purses. It was before the x-ray line was installed for all bags.
  18. Not a flag obviously but a long banner with flag colors. Looks very artistic and patriotic to me. One more flush by government.
  19. Seems this family didn't want to get tested because what the government would have done to them. Tip of the iceberg. Yes breakthrough cases are happening here in Utah, USA too. I have not read about booster breakthrough cases here. Thailand is counting vax numbers using ( 1 shot %) this is totally wrong. they really need to do some titer checks to see if 2 sinovacs or local made combos are doing anything and revaluate the numbers. That picture really looks like from an open country, NOT! Blood on someone's hands as I see it.
  20. I think I had covid real bad Jan 2-7. I posted my experience here. At that time covid was unknown. I got it 5 days after transitioning Shanghai. Something was going on at that time at the airport. It was chaotic. They were separating foreigners from Chinese. We all walked through a very hasty set up temp scanner array in the middle of an open room. 1 woman was watching the monitors that showed IR scans of people. It was a pretty bad cough and a few 2 hours cough sessions. A few times I barely clearedy throat of phlegm in time to breath. After 5 days I felt I had been at an abdominal crunch camp. I can see how out of shape people can die a horrible death. I did get JJ back back in March. Obviously it's efficacy was not very good and some blood clotting side effects kept it's usage to only 20 million in the US. The offered the booster to anyone over 18 who had the JJ along with those over 65 with others vaccines as an admission it wasn't very effective. I've now had a Moderna booster and feel more protected. I am starting to be able to see the viewpoint of anti vaxers. Do we trust big pharma? Government? Media? Not so much. Wife's mom in rural Thailand 69 had bad reaction to sinopharm. Had to go to hospital and that's a big step for a village person and real bad publicity. She is Not going to get another shot. Daughters won't let her. It's funny how people buy lottery tickets with such low odds of winning but will refuse vaccines that have pretty good odds of doing good over bad. Will this World ever get back to normal?
  21. I like 19c in the bedroom. In winter this requires may gas heat. In summer I feel I can can live with 24.4c due but would like lower if not so expensive to run aircon.
  22. Did they recall people to work this 4th quarter? Was there layoff 17 months ago
