My best guess is, the op is just a normal guy who wants a place for himself, thats it! There is pros to own a condo, and there is cons, so for each and one it will be a personal choice. I hate noisy, smoking neighbours, so for me, it have to be the right place, unless I live like I do today, with no close neighbours, at a farm in middle of nowhere 😄 My wife owns everything, and that keeps me in check. So far high rent, but it gets cheaper year by year 😉

if you still have wife in Usa, then your thai wife might have some problems in future. Heard about simular incidents before, where an old wife just came out from nowhere, and claimed everything

Well deserved, as Norwegian we put skies on the kids before they can walk, and send them out from the steepest mountains, and if they can't swim, we just trow them.i to deep water. Either they learn, or don't, Simple as that, but we will never cut them off no matter what they do.

You forgot Musk, It is time for bend over, and do your duty! Hill The President Trup, Hill Hill hill hill Just imagine to potential power those three have combined with the President, and what they can do?

It have a little bit more information here. Seems some media, hype up the factors, and it can seems like Tesla itself is dangerous, but it seems it is more of the drivers who buy and use them. There have been also mentionend the auto Pilot system Tesla have. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2024/11/26/tesla-named-deadliest-car-brand-in-america/76573878007/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tesla_Autopilot_crashes

This is just a small segment of the intervjue, and it is put together by a guy I really do not know, but what Bernie have been saying for a long time, thats whats essential here. Back then when Joe backed Bernie. The whole intervjue is below

I have nothing to do with this business, but it is a great place 1 1/2 hour away from me, and when I'm craving some food, and need to give my wife a few days off, this is a great place to go in Isaan. They have great breakfest. Check them out, worth visiting. https://www.facebook.com/share/15MLRFwwMb/

Just searched for dark chocolate and this came up https://s.lazada.co.th/s.IBnpy

We have bob, Georgie, gamma and Susan aspirants on this forum. Each and one with its own little touch

Back at it in Thailand again after a brake from lifting. Been bicycling, hiking, fishing, Sup padling, and drinking wine, chocolate, pasta, pizza, beer, and just enjoyed life for a few months to much. Oh forgot my sister's chocolate and cheese cakes. Centara in Korat is okay, but more important, I'm on the target at Home also.

Lotus do have some ok table wine below 500, just check the dryines, and just find one you enjoy. Often not worth it to double the price is my experience, and the real.good wines is often more than 2k.

5% of realistic marked value, posted several times already See another post I have been to 2 bedroom or more properties with decent kitchens, but it is the more older prospects, which also do have decent balconies. I have never found the real kinder egg yet, who had all my boxes ticked and that why I didn't buy back in 2017. My budget was 8 million, but those appartments I wanted was 10 and up. I would had bought if my currency didn't "collapse" bellow 1 nok 4 bath, and for now it is 1 nok 3,10. Actually my plan was to buy at once it was 4,5 again, but never reached back up, so. Anyway, as you say, it is lifestyle and not everyone need everything I wanted, but still, there is very few of those on the marked who ticks all my boxes, and thats a reason why it is so few, because they sell quick at once they are for sale. I'm going to see if I find one.

There is a few key standards to look for, a 5 year or older condominium who still have decent maintenance, easy to see around the pool area, back side of building if any, the wall, the security do their job, decent dressed, parking look tidy, and if you search the property on real estate agencies, you see how many still for sale, and how many is short term rentals. The management is well trained and have answers to your questions, and also have written rules concerning tenants and owners and they answer you properly when you ask what is the penalties for braking the rules. Also ask to see their accounting figures, and you will see how many units sold, and how many actually pays their fees. Check who's in the board and who is the leader, as well ask to see intern communication fot the last years if possible.

Sure!

Just wondering how many men in Usa who are Magas would react if their wife voted for Kamela?

There is no problem to buy, if you know you going to live there for 10 years, and you know the management is good, and the condominium is well run with decent rules, and the majority of owners, pays their maintenance fees, and you choose an apartment you know will be easy to sell, because of the location, the majority of the owners, is good, the maintenance is good, the facilities is attractive, the floor and side of building is attractive, and the apartment have good solutions, a proper kitchen, balcony, etc. Then you can be lucky, and if you do not have a crazy neighbour, who makes you life miserable for some reasons you didn't even think of

I have been to Nan 5 times, and Chiang Rai twice, Pai 5 times, and been on and off road in the area several times as well. So there is more than enough to explore for a few years active riding or more. The only riding I havent focusing to much on in Thailand is along Mekong border to Cambodia. I didnt find that part especially interesting, but the rest Thailand, have been great with so many possiblities and hidden gems everywhere. And what surprised me most, have been between Saraburi and Korat via chaiyaphum stretches. Love Loei and Petchabun, Phistanulok, Uttaradit, Kanchanaburi, Suan Phueng, The costal scenic road between Hua Hin and Chumpon to Ranong, down to krabi, Trang, Satun, There is so much to cover, and there is no end, if you enjoy riding. But still I cherish many places in Chiang Rai, and I do not know why, but it was nice riding, and it seems to be a bit more relaxed traffic in that Province for some reason, and not so chaotic as the rest of the country. Mae Hong Son or especially the road from Chiang Mai to Pai, is just crazy sometimes, and pain in the butt hole to just try to enjoy riding at the same road as the overlaoded pick ups and the Minivans who all have a lunatic driver.

I think we might need to explore our kinks a bit more as we grow older 😉 To be honest, Im not worried for one sex, future will be here soon enough, and what happens in the meantime, we just have to cherish we both are healthy and enjoy each other.

I wouldnt worry much, but if you stay longer, then it is a good thing to disconnect your battery, and charge it when you come back. I wouldnt leave on service charge for several months. Every time I was gone for 3 months or longer, I serviced my big bikes, and after 6 months I would empty the tank and flush out old gasolin and put new back in. For a smaller bike, I wouldnt bother to much with any of that except if it was time for the annual service or up to the service based on km whatever comes first. My biggest problem or happenend twice, was mouse eat my electric system, and had to replace parts of it.

The whole conflict evolve aroud land theft, lack of basic human rights, and a country who believes in their right to a promised land. Still there is voices who continue to make excuses, and pretend it is not true. First of all, there should not had been any Israel or Palestine, it Should had been one country and one people. After all, they are all brothers and sisters. Strange how the Ottaman Empire managed to control and keep peace in that erae for more than 400 years or so, wait, have to check Palestine, which yearns for peace and stability for over a century, saw its longest period of peace during the 401 years of Ottoman rule, from the conquest of Jerusalem in 1516 to the dawn of the British Mandate in 1917 https://www.trtworld.com/turkiye/how-peace-flourished-in-ottoman-palestine-a-story-of-coexistence-15612345 Oh, must be fake news, let me see Although the Ottomans did not treat Jews differently from other minorities in the country, the policies seemed to align well with Jewish traditions, which allowed communities to flourish. The Jewish people were allowed to establish their own autonomous communities, which included their own schools and courts. Those rights were extremely controversial in other regions in Muslim North Africa and absolutely unrealistic in Europe. The communities would prove to be centers of education and trade because of the large array of connections to other Jewish communities across the Mediterranean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_the_Ottoman_Empire We know the history tends to be coloured by side and the those who won, still there is alot there can be said about how we ended up with the terror attack on 7. october 2023. There will not be any solution here, and I say again, two evil doesnt make one right

We are making plans for the Christmas, and it is either Islands south east or the west coast beaches/Islands. Any ideas where to go? Budget 1 - 3k a night with breakfest is reasonable. Where is your favorite destination for travel? Any hidden gems around worth going to at beach side? Links and pics appreciatet if suggestion hotels or resorts.

The best thing is to buy an condemenium and rent it out, and when you are not here anymore, she can decide to sell it, or continue renting it out. In the meantime you can teach her the routines about having a rental object, the duties, the maintenenca airb? or whatever you prefer.

It is a money issue, and what you really want to spend money on. As Im only 56, I will have insurance as long I stay in Thailand, I might change my opinion when I get past 75, if I do. But still, it is more of a matter of accidents, and also other more serious health problems that can be dealt with a rountine operation, like an hearth issue, that most likely would put you back 3 millions or more? It could be worth having an insurance handy

Boys then?
