An objective or subjective opinion? No matter what you choose there is minor differences based on prise and model you choose. Honda is known for <deleted> suspension by western standard, because they are not made for 80kg+ and a additional pillion 50kg and up. Cant really say I know much about Yamaho, but have a few 1000km on different 150’s and it was not much better than a honda suspension, and to be true, the quality did not feel any difference either.

In this propaganda war, I will give Russia 30% right before the invasion and 0% right after the invasion!

I try to live cheap and simple most days, therefor Thailand is a great place, and keep my backdoor open just in case. You never know whats going to hit you sooner or later.

All my life I have falled in love in women and all of them in the very first minutes. Some I had the pleasure to get to know, most not. Easier to to get distracted by women you are not in love with, than those you get in love with. First thing I had to learn as very young was to stay cool, and not show my desperation.

If you are a good person, the reward is the goodness might live on after you have died true people who learned goodness through you. There is many ways to heaven, but it might not be eternal life for us. If I somehow impacted someone in life with just trying to do my best, I would be happy to die knowing I did change someone's life.

Thank you. If I felt more negativity about thai society than positive, I would not live here, and relocated. But to me it seems those who is utterly negative to their home country, also comes out loud about the thai negatives but still enjoy cheap lifestyle and exploiting their women. Not everybody, but quite a few I have met on my way. But thank god, most of them I socializing with, is positive people who do not complain to much, but it only takes one to poison the the atmosphere.

The difference is, you can travel all over Thailand and no one bother you. Police is friendly and not been a hassle to me even I have travelled around Thailand for 20 years on motorbikes. Got a few speedtickets that was well deserved, thats all. On Phil I did not felt as free to travel where I wanted, and walkimg alone in the cities did not feel safe at all. A bit more like Brazil, you needed to know where to walk and not to walk.

For me from Europe it was 6 hours longer flights with two changes, and the infrastructure, safety, poor beggars as well food knocked me off. It doesnt apply to me to live in a country with so much poverty as Philippine or Cambodia.

Thailand is easiest country in my opinion to be retired. Considering infrastructure and quality of living. At once you manage to have retirement visa, it is no hassle at all to renew every year either even I continue to hear complaints here at AN. The drawback now is Flight tickets is more expensive and Norway do not have direct flights anymore post covid, and was one of the reasons I found Thailand as an better option than Phil for an example.

If you not sure, you are sure! Rule nr 1 when investing in appartment or girl friend.

Thought we where talking about normal things thais do, not the science behind it ????

Surgical mask makes perfectly sense in traffic Because of pollution, as well they where forced to use masks by the authorities. I used helmet but no mask while riding, but for thais to use mask is not that complicated even before covid it was normal many cities also in villages when somebody had a cold or flu.

Oh man, riding without an helmet is Thainess? Get real ???? Without years of statistic, quality information and fines that hurt, no countries would had riders who automatically put a helmet on without thinking no matter how short their ride was. Thailand is very much 100 - 50 years behind us in many ways.

Is Typical rude swearing western foreigner we see in popular beach cities and more typical around red light districs typical for all of us? My impression where I'm walking, is most I meet is very polite and respectful. Again, my experience and doesn't mean I'm not visiting bars for a drink, but my impression Thais is in general very polite people and give alot of respect.

Was at Lipe 2017 new year, and it was not a party Island like Koh Tao, Phangan or Phi Phi. Crowded yes, but most families was my impression, and a bit more expensive than those mentioned above.

The quality to be polite no matter how rude the other person is. A policeman using two hours calming down a drunk swearing punching tourist, and try not to harm him in any way. The quality to make a smile even they hurt or are insecure The quality to work hard for small money and much more

Didnt know that was a word, but to clear up my statement, I enjoy company if we have muteal interest and benefits. What Im not good at, is chit chat and doing the same things over and over same as the day before, the week before, last year and the year before that. If you understand.

It depends, but if you going budget, I wouldnt, and if I found the right property to the right price and location, I would buy. Budget appartments comes with alot more hassle than those at right location and at right price most likely do not have. The new appartments is poor built as well to fit the new standards and new generation of buyers.

Letscsay there is more beautiful beaches and more beautiful scenery Than Koh Chang. I havent been back to Koh Chang since 2007, but already back then it was trashed, and from what I hear, not much have changed, except being trashed more. A ruined paradise compared to before it went to popular.

Koh Larn where you get the Island feeling and short ferry trip to the mainland if you need a brake. I enjoyed Koh Tao and Koh Phangan for many years, but it all about what you want to do.

When we where building I bought everything needed myself, and if he ordered something I payed and got the reciept myself. He useally took the added bonus when he ordered, but useally some crappy <deleted> I did not want or needed.

Quality wood doors is expensive indeed, and a good reminder to to be on top of every little detail when building a house and buy what you think are important yourself. I would ask for the reciept

Just imagine if you (wife) own a small farm, do not drink, smoke or eat cheese. Live almost for free ????

One thing, I feel connected to my nature and the nature that surrounds us. Not so much outside planet earth, but I'm fascinated by what we discovered so far, but still so distant. Personal experiences I'm aware of is strong stuff and no joke to ☺️ But I can't explain it with words, because it is inside me and a good safe place to be.

You are right, and I also had an ironic twist on it. Whole American continent, Australia and New Zealand is ruled by immigrants! Some will say parts of United Kingdom is overruled by aliens from England.
