I think you could live on the cheap in any expensive city, but the quality of life will not be the same.

Use Grab but don't do pickup in the front.

You didn’t read? It was supposed to be paper waste that would be used to make recycled paper. The contractual agreement was no more than 1% garbage. Who’s fault is it? Who knows? The sender “accidentally” sending garbage or the receiver getting paid to receive said garbage and got caught? Or a scheme by both to ship garbage?

Living somewhere is not the same as being on holiday. There is a different mentality. Know one goes to bars everyday back home. Maybe 1-2 times a week at best! Going to googo bars would be like an occasional strip club at home. I don’t do that more than once every couple of months. Inflation is everywhere. It is why local people to a country are looking to move to a cheaper country to stretch out their dollars (partly driving up prices where they land). So yes, 50k is doable unless you are a local living on a local salary in which case, you would be looking to move to a cheaper country than your own. Most expats (with foreign income stream) should be fine with the weak baht offsetting some of the inflation.

The varying prices is all about making the most money they possibly can. The low end is for cash patients. The high end is for insurance companies that only pay a fraction of it anyway.

It is just poor PR. People just hate the idea of “dual pricing.” There are many ways to do the same thing to achieve the same result.

Cases are going up but deaths are low and stable. There is no point to count anymore because it is not going away like the common cold and flu.

Flights have gone crazy from where I live in the US. Prepandemic I was paying $600-800 (granted that was through China). Other airlines were $800-1000 then. Since Thailand started reopening, I was paying $800-1000. Now flights are $1000-1200! ????

Over reaction? The women in shorts was doing something to the car. The mom came over to look and was sucker punched. The son came to defend his mom. Given the woman in shorts mental history I don’t think it was that much of an over reaction.

Synthetics is what gave vaping a bad name in the US. It is not regulated so people put all kinds if stuff in it to “enhance” it.

The 0.2% THC is for extracts only. So there is no limit on buds?

You shouldn't talk to the police without a lawyer present regardless of guilt.

Fake designer items are illegal in most countries too. I read an article a while back about how they were fined for having a fake designer suitcase. Having a suitcase full of designer items is a red flag in many countries too. They think you are smuggling them in to sell.. Use your own judgment when traveling. Too many of any items looks like you are trying to avoid import taxes. There is a fine line between “personal” use.

Guys think Viagra is some magical drug that will enhance pleasure, make you last longer, etc. Reality is that you only need it when you get older and there is a hot girl in front of you and you still can't get it up!

All this talk about not being able to read or only knowing nickname, etc. It is simple really. I can't read Thai and I don't know people's government name. When am about to send, I send a screenshot with their account number and name and ask them to confirm that is them.

Of course anything you inhale has the same potential. However, there is a huge difference with smoking a pack a day and 1-2 blunts a day!

Like all events it is a long term investment.

ASEAN = SouthEast Asia

This is a travelor survey.. not expats. Most, likely, are not driving.

Like most highy vaccinated Western countries, it is time to call it endemic and move on.

Sure but did they need to be hospitalized.

This is wrong. Airlines (and transit countries) may have their own policies in addition to the destination country.

How is this even news worthy? There are already laws in place for the non-commercial production of alcohol. I think the issue was the COMMERCIAL production of alcohol for small craft breweries. They cannot meet the huge minimum costs for production.

So now everyone thinks doctors are free. They pay all that money to go through medical school and they shouldn’t be paid.

Yet you still follow the news like a jilted ex.
