There are some falang video YouTubers that are entertaining and informative, and also respectful - asking if it's ok to record. But, there are also 'faceless' YouTubers that *secretly* record, following girls and couples around the streets. One is often recording and posting videos from Soi Buakow... But it is covert - the people don't know they are being recorded. They seem to ignore the camera...ie don't know there is one. A focal point is the 7-11 close by to the upstairs gym. Looking at the camera angle, it seems as though from waist height. Or maybe the height of a wheelchair... Does anyone know who is making these videos and what kind of hidden camera rig they have? I find them disrespectful and distasteful.

I highly recommend the Canon G4000/G6000 series.. I have one of each. They are the 'ink tank' type and amazingly inexpensive to run. Refilling the tanks is very easy. The bottles that come with a new printer last a long time too. They network easily by wifi. Just choose from the range whether you need scanner, sheet-feeder, automatic double sided printing, etc. Bought my G4000 in Central mall last year..

Plenty of amazing shows to discover... Last year I found Boston Legal... Truly great smart funny and entertaining show.

Don't give up chocolate, just acquire the taste for high-cocoa like 85%+ (I generally have 95%+). It has health benefits without the sugar. Ice cream... Hardly ever have anyway... Alcohol - a biggie for me... Moderation is the target. Abstinence is difficult. But I know people who manage it through other 'medicinal' alternatives! ????????

We measure others with our own yardstick.

The gentleman suggesting 'going short' is possibly an experienced trader who has a specific view on how markets will respond to the coming recession (expected by many). This is not sensible for a regular investor with a long term view. For the OP, whether it makes sense to place 33% into an equity index fund depends on circumstances, need for cash, age, risk profile, and what other assets are held. In general, the evidence says that for most investors, holding a small number of equity and bond index trackers will give best long run returns at lowest cost. Actively managed funds rarely do better over any meaningful timescale. (This is no longer contentious - the research is overwhelming.) I personally have a rather cautious view of markets in the next year or so. Almost all indicators used by economists (including Conference Board LEI which has been 100% reliable in the past) suggest a recession nearby. For cautious investors, or those retired or approaching retirement, it's very well worth considering an allocation to fixed-income investments that deliver reliable returns but are not correlated to markets. There are some good options in this field for those resident in Thailand.

I second Pattaya Optical

I have visited the website but still have no idea exactly what this is...

Huh. If it was a genuine effort to bring value to the forum, there should be commentary that we can debate without having to click his link.

I have also had good experiences with the InDrive app.

Both fun to ride, but you don't tell your mates ????

Agreed. It may be unknown or unspoken, but there must have been a reason.

Snap a pic. Crop. Search with Google Lens. It's a Fitlux 8300 (or the controller thereof, for the range). Find the manual online and download or contact the manufacturer? ????

I think the mention of him being British is really incidental. The guy clearly has issues and that can happen regardless of nationality. Unless there are genuine per capita statistics on bad behaviour by nationality, I wouldn't speculate on anything else.

Yep, same ????

I've spent enough time in Thailand that the photo of him touching her head makes me slightly cringe.

AIS... Unlimited at 20mbps for 300b.

Can get the sachet sweeteners in Villa Market.. at least I did in Pattaya.

Meanwhile, when they got home they found their house hit by an iceberg. 2x insurance claims filed.

These crossings are badly designed for visibility, they need more striking road markings and more alert lights at lower level.

If this was true it would imply no need for actual Tourist Visas.

In 30 years of coming to Thailand regularly, I have *never once* had to show an onward ticket at arrival immigration.
