  1. I cancelled my vpn express, and they came back with a 2 year and 3 months deal for 99usd. My renewal was almost the same for one year. Check this website, and see. However Express vpn have been the best for my use hands down. Be it Discovery, Max, Netflix, banks, official offices https://www.vpn-mentors.com/best-vpns-for-cyber-monday/?cq_acc=8963619507&cq_adg=168052693199&keyword=&geo=9073381&device=&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=21799603635&cq_term=&cq_plac=&cq_net=g&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWsoFAkaKDaJzJNa6mlThlj4IJyuA2nkh1t3_IQ5HFysixYy9PnRc-saAlRJEALw_wcB
  2. Lost morality might be one of them, but still, there are som key evidences that is essential for collaped cultures. From the collapse of ancient Rome to the fall of the Mayan empire, evidence from archaeology suggests that five factors have almost invariably been involved in the loss of civilizations: uncontrollable population movements; new epidemic diseases; failing states leading to increased warfare; collapse of trade routes https://www.weforum.org/stories/2016/03/why-do-civilizations-collapse/
  3. we get 60 - 100 baht every time they come and empty our containers. We got two big waste bins we collect all our plastic and glass bottles in.
  4. Your car make easily 200km/h, why dont you drive that fast every day? Christ sake
  5. There is many nice roads for big bikes in Thailand, you just need experience, respect, and also good skills, as well instincts, and also learn the basics in thai traffics, expect anything to happen, and also a bucket full of luck. This accident is not about riding motorbikes in Thailand, it is about pure stupidity.
  6. Call me crazy, but still, Theres is a few cores I have kept throughout my life, and it is as follows When somebody ask me if I'm happy, I say I will tell you in 10 years When somebody asks me if I love them, I say I will tell them in 10 years. Of course I love them for the time being, or think it is love, but I can't truly tell them, before I have lived it, and given it time, so in 10 years I think I will know. Many things can be related in retrospect, after you have dealt with the time and also what you actually remember, and how you feel about it. Also based on your other experiences and happenings in your life. There is only one regret I have, who I let go, but I was in my prime, and made good money, travelled a lot, and also almost risked my life on a daily basis both work and my other activities. This girl was studying hard, all her friends wanted some kind of doctor, lawyers or any high status men who had a solid base, and I was the reckless one, who just played with my life. I'm not really sure why she wanted me, but she was younger, and I gave her a lot of support. Not financially, but when I was there, I had time to be there 100%, and also helped her with her studies, cleaning, making food, shopping, and everything I could to make her life easier when I was home. But it came to a point where I doubted myself, comparing myself to her friends' partners, and also I felt I would hold her back in life, with my lifestyle. I finally let her go since she wanted to study abroad, and I could not really cope with that, and understood for both of us, we needed to end it, even though we continued to keep in contact for another two years, and I really do not think she had anyone else, and I did not either. End of story, she is now a professor, 3 kids, wrote a few books, married to a lawyer, and got all her things under control as far as I know. I'm married to a Thai farmer, but still had a good life, with a few ups and downs, so I shouldn't really complain, and I still think I did the right thing. I would never feel I was in the right company with all her colleagues and friends. Do I feel I should have done something different today, no, and I don't regret anything, and I just cherish the experience, which made me believe in something called love, and being a couple. I will always chase those feelings I shared with her, and if I do not have it, I will miss it, and I will find it again. I'm willing to make the effort to experience it again and again, no matter what happens in my life, I will not give up chasing the feeling of being 2.
  7. Never seen the movie, the cartoons was enough inspiration for my fantasies to make me still remember her.
  8. Where to find plaster on a roll? Breathable and elastic where the mi section for the wound go from one side to the other side, and not just a small did section. Just like the picture
  9. Modesty Blaise I used to read Agent X9 as a kid
  10. My wet dream as a kid. Do you know who it is?
  11. Well, Im not sure about your knownledge of thais in general invest, and calculate their investment return. What I have seen, they invest in empty shells or empty appartment buildings, and let their investment rot, or they invest in land, and do not touch it for a long time before they sell with huge margin loss. Also retired rich Bangkok people invest in farms, build restaurants, resorts, and I can promise you, they will never see any return on their investments ever in their life time. Im quite interested to hear your experience with thai investors, who most likely is on the other side of the table, those who build and sell new built properties. I do not say it is impossible to make money, but you need the experience, knownledge of the local marked, and also be willing to make things happen, and not just sit back and think it is going to happen by itself. He said these 1.3 million residential units have already been built, but no one is occupying them, or they have moved in and out already. These residential units include single houses, semi-detached houses, townhouses, row houses, and condominium units. He added that the total number of registered residential units is currently around 27.71 million units, and 1.31 million units, or 4.7% of them, have no occupants. https://thailand-construction.com/1-3-million-empty-residential-units-including-houses-and-condominium-units-worth-a-total-of-2-6-trillion-baht-in-thailand/
  12. it is all about what the marked is willing to pay, and that segment where you an rent out long term for 8% is very few prospects, and even less at 10. Thumb of rule, the only way to make money in Thailand, is to have enogh money to spend in first place. I havent found one prospect that would pay of, unless thai bath become stronger, and my Nok continue to drop.
  13. We had one in the army who had the same problem, but we teached him to shower and change clothes.
  14. That's a dream to rent out for 12% of marked value, and not representiv for the long term average marked. Thumb of rule is 5%
  15. A 4 million baht condo would rent for 5% a year maximum if location was right. We talking long term rental, and not high season short term rent.
  16. I got the real thing I couldn't get anywhere else with legal prescription
  17. Going to be interesting to see his new tariffs on every European county, oh, wait, Canada, Mexico and China only?
  18. 8 years ago I was looking for appartment around 8 million, but there was so many fouls or details I found that constantly put me off from finalize a buy. Insted we escaped the ity during covid, and built a small farm for less than a quarter of the price I was willing to invest. Now I have other plans than staying in Thaland for the next 10- 15 years and happy I did not invest. My idea when building in Isaan was intil last spring, was to stay in Isaan to I was around 70, but as we go, e make new experiences, and we tend to make new decisions, or with we could. Most important, do not invest more than you are willing to leave behind you, there is thousands of prospects available for sale, while some moving faster than others, others do not sell att all, and even worse, very fee is willing to pay marked price to rent.
  19. I got a nice shower and special treatment at the old airport Don Muang back in early 2000. I came from Koh Tao via Koh Samui same day, and had a long transfer and bought an 2 hour VIP service so I could relax , shower and change to more proper clothes before I fly out. I had no idea what I paid for up front.
  20. I think you qouted the wrong person, try the one I qouted
  21. So many ways and possibilities to be offended, and we can choose to not let it bite us, or we can be the victim, and play it out. The nature of Thai, and many other nationalities is just pure ignorance, and can with my hand on my hearth admit I have been one of them. Might still be a besserwisser and a pain in the ass for some, but then I obviously show them I enjoy it. Right here at AN
  22. I do not see why you should be offended by so e Thai who either is just ignorant by nature, or just serve everybody asking a polite question out of service policy. You should see what my wife have to go through at some hotels. All I can say, arriving Lebua Chatrium or Hilton compare to some other hotels around Chao Praya river, and can mention Amara as one of the worst experiences, even I have given them her copy of her Id card while I check in, so basically, she just need to show her id card and they hand over the key. She either check in before me, or after depending on my flight areival. Never even thinked twice about the general thais ignorance. Never will
  23. All depending of the amount you put in. Anyway, always a pleasure to communicate with you. You are welcome 😁
