Could there be a better scheme? The foreigners who are treated as third class citizens even if married helping out for free to the very same organization which treats them as such.

I wonder why those volunteers are so bored with their life

how old are you?

30

I'm tourist in Thailand for almost 3 years ... never asked to show money, or even questioned

Sibutramine - the perfect example of how much you should trust doctors and scientists... 22 years of prescribing left and right... after that "oh no, no, no... so dangerous... illegal"

Hmm, the overnight sleep trains are pretty good.... but they were already slightly more expensive than early booked flights.

I never saw LCD screens though? Do they talk about something else?

Otherwise you are going to pay 30% more for 13 hours vs 1 hour journey.

Hua Hin is dump... no offence to those who live there

Would be nice to ban the ++++ bullshit...

But Chinese bashing each other - 50 000thb fine each

Senior lifestyle... in Thailand, yea baby - 700 thb a month pension... let's go Vegas!

And GC will be convenient for the Red Line when it opens (2020 ish), quick and easy commute into town.

 

We live even further out near Chiang Rak, I drive in to town (Chatuchak area) every morning. Luckily my job allows me to skew my work day so I leave home at 5.45, in the office by 6.30, leave 3.30-3.45 home 4.30-4.45.

 

Still horrible... 18 days a year ... 6 months over 10 years

It takes skills to keep a tiny island under floodwater

I got some deep discounts following this protocol

- push the door as much as you can when entering

- pee on the left side of reception desk

- spit on the right side of reception desk

- start yelling "<deleted> is the housekeeper"

- proceed with million dollar smile and ask for appropriate discount

He was spotted in Bangkok two weeks ago mate.

It makes sense... what is the only country in the world where can he successfully stay, whether an international warrant or Interpol red notice is issued?

Thailand!

Every other country would catch him and export here.

It was so easy to buy a drone in Hua Hin at the big new mall.  I never shopped in BKK for one

but I imagine there are lots of places to buy them there as well. I wonder how soon one will go into

a jets engine and bring it down.  My guess is in less than one year.

The SH*T will hit the fan after that happens.

Geezer

It isn't that easy... the software won't let you go near airports and restricts altitude depending on how close to the airport you are

They probably talk about "I don't want to be seen, so let's call it restricted" area

Yes. A feeling that this is the most important country in the world. The knowledge that where we are living is the center of the universe. A people bursting with pride, at knowing that they are at the apex of culture, finance, power, and intellectual prowess. A country with the real, true religion, and with smart and benevolent leaders, who are spending every minute, of every day trying to make life better for the common man. A vastly superior moral and ethical nature, that allows the Thai people to rise above the rest of the world, and live in absolute, and complete harmony with each other. And a grand vision for the future of this illustrious nation.

Amen

2000 thb is the maximum fine for pollution ... so if your budget allows that you should be fine

And they complained like little babies when I sued them HOW DARE I, what kind of crazy person was I???

Did you win?

I agree - pay as little as you can, don't pre-pay ... I got most deposit back, but still paid for stuff that was not my fault or responsibility.

And, buying condos has worked out ok for me. In 7 years I have bought and sold 16 condos, 2 in Rayong and 14 in Pattaya.  Average profit is around 600,000 Baht after all expenses.  Could I have done much better if I had invested in financials?  Probably.  But, not my thing.

So you make 1.3 million a year with your condo flipping in Thailand?

I think you might want to redo your maths. 25,000,000,000 is the correct answer. Roughly 1/10 of what you calculated.

Where did you study? A year has usually 12 months, not one.

Maybe that's why your calculation is 'exactly' 1/12

So much rush and hard work... now the police has to face another obstacle, poor fellows

There is a new restaurant that specialises in rotisserie chicken, it's called 'Birds Rotisserie'

https://www.facebook.com/BIRDSRotisserie/

I've not been yet, but friends who have said it was very good.



 

800 thb for a whole chicken? Is it fed by salmon and tuna?

It's not Thai oriented pool so I assume they made a mistake and it should be
