If you where the owner of Stefan car rent, it could be a nice try to advertise on AN, but doing so, can go the wrong way as well letting people know you exists. Im not sure how many local car rentals there is in Hua Hin now, but it used to be quite alot of them. Their prices for pick up from airport is not bad if I have to say so. Just make sure they have legal papers in order and insurance. , and to be earnest, that is the bottle neck for me to use smaller local rental services, instead of paying higher rent with proper rental service you know you can trust.

If you eat sleep and live like an average local yes, but if you like import food, clothes, do not feel the need for proper insurance, and also proper legal visa (I do not reckon visa with help from anagent legal given on false premises even it is wildly practiced) it is not especially a cheap or the cheapest country to live in.

Ticks?

Just remember, everything I write is not pointed directly at you even I might a point out of it. If I own somebody, It is myself and Im not here to compete with anybody.

To me Ignorance is something else, either you make up your mind on a very limited solution, and dismissing everyone else because you know the truth. Ignorance is not to share experiences and ask critical questions. Being curious is not ignorance so I am not really offended because I do put in some interest in what you write as well do a little reading as well double checking your facts. And you know it is hard to have a discussion with anyone who give alot of information that is hard to absorb when it is mostly based on other peoples experiences where you do not experience the same, because it is based only on personal experiences. I know if I want, I can convince myself to se, feel, experience something, but therefor my questions where this experience originated from. Wishful thinking and practicing, manipulated by myself, influenced by others, chemicals, everything in a combination, environment or the real thing. You know if you ar christian, you most likely from a christian country, or new age more or less from Usa or living in a place, traveling to a place where they cultivate alternative beliefs and spiritually. Im in no rush to know the truth, because truth will finely appear in time if there is any truths! And that comforts me as well Sunmaster recognize my love for nature and the freedom the nature gives me on the natures own premises. I cant see my practice hurt me or anyone else, and neither do I make false prophecies. My next question i, why do some people who believe they have or know the truth need to convince other people by using so much energy and sometimes threats about consequences when they also proclaim their faith is personal? Last Im more curious out of being bored, and like to read history, science, religion, culture differences, about how societies evolved with time and how war have been moving religion back and forth with borders constantly changing. The most interesting obvious proof I have found, is how Christianity is more like Buddhism than Judaism in many specters of practicing ethical questions, but with a base in Judaism as the nature of where it started as a new religion. A godly force is everything @tippaporn if there is a god, but Im not fixated on religious texts when it comes a god or energy, because I see it whit my eyes everyday even with eyes shut I see and feel, and taste of course in the reality a god would have given me the ability to see, learn and experience something. Sometimes people do not see the forrest because of the trees right? It is here right here right now! If that is Ignorance, so let it be, Im for now happy with my conclusion because we have been given a life to live and make experiences in this world, not in all other places, and Im very much needed by other people right here right now, not later ☺️ At last I do enjoy the reading here, and I do like the way @Sunmaster sharing his experiences and I respect him for his way to point out my mistakes and the way he do it. But as said impossible to answer all your questions, or to read and understand how you want me to. You have to respect that when you answering other people in such a wide open theme as this have become.

why don't you rent from an international company if you are unsure? So many at least said bad companys in Thailand and you never know if they run legal services. No idea at all about his company, but experience renting a company once or twice do not tell anything about the company at all. Avis, budget and every bigger international companies you know what you get, or rent through and agent like https://www.rentalcars.com And buy their insurance to! I have very good experience with this agent world wide

I live happy not knowing, it could ruin my life and my total freedom in this life

Most people do not understand science behind the biggest questions here in life, and Einsteins theories with more is still being studied and continues to be proved or tried failed. And my concern is people who laughing and constantly dismissing physics science as bull pie at the best. After my best understanding, if there is a godly force, there must be possible to prove it physically to, not only spiritually? I know there is studies trying to prove god, and also spiritually. I see my previous post was not as accurate it should have been, so my bad. Still our own body and brain is fantastic tools you can meditate, fasting and many more things and experience wonderful things, Im aware of that as well which I tried to explain. The questions is, when we release and let loose our chemicals in our brain, is it spiritually reasons, or is it just chemicals manipulated to be released either by our self or by a teacher/coach. Thats where Im unsure why it happens, and why we are so easily manipulated. What is the reason behind it, and trust me, hours reading, self testing, experiences with coaches, I still not sure, but one thing is very clear, and it is for some people addictive. For some good and for some not so good and very much same as any stimulus you should have respect for. Im open for both parts, spiritually forces, a god, random happenings, myself creating my own destiny in a complexed in a complexed where randomly happenings force we to make choices, rething, restart, and do it all over again. However Im not easily convinced and as said, and I have no fear dying without knowing and for me, the most important to succeed with, is to have a good life on this planet, and try to contribute with some positivity even some say Im a bit to stubborn (not so different from the one here calling me stubborn would I say) same same but still different.

Im happy for you have found your way and your god. No I do not feel any guilt anymore and have a good relation to myself and my nature, therefor no need of guilt. My comfort is dust to dust ashes to ashes and is the most true words said or written ever.

My impression is, when people do not understand science and the terms for science, some easily jump to alternative theories that in best case is ideas, and not anything that can be proved. A good mix with fantasy and visions after long term meditating, fasting, intake of different substances or a mix of some of mentioned or all together. However, I have many times said in this thread, we have our own physical universe inside us, so it is easy to get lost in our own chemical natural experience if you practice long enough, or have special gifts and it comes naturally easy. It is hard to say specific what creates this individual experiences and also sometimes quite remarkable having same experiences often led by some teacher or also psychologists. I had or we as a team had a unison experience with a psychologist who took the whole team on a specific journey all together to the very same place and same experience with nothing else than systematic words put together and created a wonderful experience for all of us. Imagine 9 people on the same experience just by one man leading us. Fantastic right?

You don't know you need it or how beneficial it is before you got it. Simple as that And we know how the different laws, rules, regulations and requirements difference throughout Thailands different official offices. For me it is beneficial and make my life easier in Thailand. I also got approved translated versions of my house book, which will help my process in getting family reunion with my now wife in EU, as well we used it to get a valid one year Schengen tourist visa before we got married meaning multiple entries in one year.

What is the benefits of believing? I read a nice piece of text from Bhagavad Gita where someone asked the question. One simply replied with this qoute, and I googled the qoute and got alot more to read. There are no disadvantages of believing in God, only disadvantages What does it mean to you believing or not, and why you choose to believe in something or not? To me it means everything, but first of all it means gratitude and respect for the nature, even I'm part of the problem, which seems the be one of the conflicts humans have no matter what they believe in, there is contrasts and guilt involved! Do non believers feel guilty in the same way as believers? Just to again describe, I believe in what we see and what surrounds us and what we can touch and feel and what we physically are dependen on to live a physical life on this planet. The Nature which we are part of as everything else around us. Does non believers feel more freedom?

Sorry my mistake. I got my yellow book by being registered at her fathers house.

I was first in her father's yellow book and when finely finished house, I was transferred in to her blue book, most likely they did not have anymore yellow books, but only speculations from my side. I was not even present, but it was same guy who gave me the yellow book first time.

I'm also in my wife's blue book, and we are not supposed to I read, but I am, so you can!

Buddhism is big company selling hope and future happiness and good luck.

Great civilations even in Africa have rised and falled, and thats one of the few absolutes truths wevhave. The question is, why do great civilations finely implode often from inside threats, for then finely be overtrown by other external forces who is more hungry and willing to take higher risks to reach their goals? They had the technology, they had the power but their lines getting stretched at the same time people have been used to their position, wealth and security by keeping the conflicts outside their empire. Alot to learn from earlier great civilations and history.

We are all African monkeys, who came down from the trees. It is difficult to say something about IQ, but the truth is, we have (most of us present here at this fora) less pressure on us to staying alive day to day, and I believe that makes all of us a bit slow, and passed down to next generation, it will dramatically accelerate in the wrong direction unfortunate when society continue to support people who do not produce zero nada nill, and who again pass their living culture to next generation. The same goes for people who heritage wealth not risking anything! Also for those who living in almost total controlled environment kills their creativity responsibility and energy to do something for them selves. Why is Jewish people so creative and innovative as they are?

We all have our experiences for good and bad, as well lived a life in Asia as well many other countries. Is there one thing there is to many of, is foreigners who have negative experiences and more than wiling to share them wherever you go especially in Thailand, and also found here at this fora. There is no way you are not warned or going to miss the warnings or the pitfalls. But we all have to make our own experiences, and how we deal with negative happenings, it to be true, very individual.

Listen, hear hear do I sense some positivity from you?

Sometimes it is ok to agree, even we have different views, and yes as Thaibeach says it is a cruel world we live in where the survival of the fittest still rules. I have no problem with that. Still it is ok to have emphasis with people who might feel left out. Everyone have a weak link somewhere or at some time in life, and it definitely shows when traditions becomes more extreme than healthy.

Thats a bold statement, and a very naive statement. First google link out of many showing how holidays can negatively impact people According to the American Psychological Association, 38% of people surveyed said their stress increased during the holiday season, which can lead to physical illness, depression, anxiety, and substance misuse https://www.mcleanhospital.org/essential/mcleans-guide-managing-mental-health-around-holidays

You can not think of other solutions to make the world a bit brighter than religious and other forced traditions that also makes parts of people feeling left out of many different reasons?
