  1. 24.1 is mine...even though you didnt ask me. 555 Eat less and spend your pension money on one hour physical therapy sessions with local working girls is my philosophy for staying fit
  2. Why will the 2 sides never agree on this? Because most humans are either Malthusians or Cornucopians. Malthusian environmental philosophy: Global warming/climate change has been the indirect or direct cause of death of many people already, and will get worse Famine and starvation is increasing in many parts of the world. Malnutrition as well as disease, infection, etc... in poor countries. All related to overpopulation and limited resources as a result of overpopulation and climate change (soil erosion, droughts) The simplistic opposing Cornucopian viewpoint: environmental problems faced by society either do not exist or can be solved by technology or the free market. Interesting fact: Over half of all scientists work in the field of saving human lives (medical industry) or building/designing weapons of war (Military industrial complex) ....how incongruous is that?
  3. Cows milk is for baby cows! Try Soy or Almond milk, better for your cholesterol and blood pressure.....
  4. Believe it or not, the whole world "is not what it used to be 10-20 years ago". And yes, inflation means things will cost more - also worldwide fact Luckily for me, Thailand cares little about enforcing "rules" 5555 It's all good
  5. I seem to meet normal people, but not always Some want to boast about their possessions, condo size, cars, motorcycles girlfriends...but that could occur in my home country as well.... I usually tell them I have nothing but a small pension and a small condo, but am happy to give half of my income every month to the multitude of one hour female therapists who work here in Pattaya for $45 dollars an hour. It is my way of supporting local entrepreneurs! Some get it, some do not 5555
  6. Simply outlaw ammunition and gunpowder, make it available only to those who have a household to protect and give them 6-8 bullets per year if they use them. Follows the 2nd amendment rule of law. Does not allow teenagers who have no household or anyone else to purchase ammo. If they steal their parents ammo . they only have a few rounds. In the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that the "Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."
  7. You should have taken him to Pattaya. Do not know Korat, but likely not where he needed to be on holiday
  8. I really cannot understand how this taxi mafia is so powerful. They all look poor and many are elderly. Here in Pattaya they block public sidewalks with their chairs, tables, and umbrellas, They urinate in public, many times have dirty or tattered clothing, vests that look 20 years old, and are simply not useful 90% of the time as people use Bolt or grab apps or take songthaews. (baht bus) Public sidewalks are for the public, not illegal hangouts for these guys. Wheelchairs and people pushing strollers have to go out into the streets to get past these hangouts many times. How is that good for tourism or the general public? Do they even have a licence to carry passengers? Special insurance? In America you have to take a special test and get a special licence and proper insurance to transport others for hire. I wonder what it takes to get an "Orange vest" here? Go to city hall, pay a few hundred baht and get a "permit" to drive passengers at any rate they want is likely all you need
  9. between 210,700 and 230,000 rtp officers registered motorbikes on Thailand 21,452,050 . no way to enforce
  10. For the Thai national, the decree must be recorded in the amphur nearest to his/her residence. Thai women likewise need to report the divorce and have their names changed back to their maiden name. https://www.siam-legal.com/legal_services/Thailand-Uncontested-Divorce-Faqs.php
  11. He found no gold or silver. The coin was also magnetic, suggesting it was mostly made of iron. [Another expert] tested the coin using a nitric acid solution. After he applied a blob to Mr. Trump’s gold-colored image, the area darkened, bubbled and then turned green. “It’s paint,” he concluded. What was it worth? “Nothing,” he said. 45 was selling these for $100, falsely claiming real gold or silver...NOT ...And do not forget the "trading cards" 5555 LOL 45 made 100's of thousands duping his MAGA followers and continues to do so
  12. None of the bars are "owned" by Nightwish. Bars are leased out. Land and buildings are all owned by Thai nationals/citizens.
  13. Many of his most rabid supporters are in jail or indicted or "retired" . Some things are just not worth getting arrested for. We shall see on Tuesday at 14:30 NY time... 01:30 Wednesday here in Thailand
  14. Until the indictment charges are opened next week no one knows what the charges are. This flim flam real estate, reality TV guy has made it 76 years without ever being indicted. He will finally have to face an actual jury of his peers for the FIRST time. No one knows how this will end, but likely because of his narcissistic and limited knowledge of anything legal or constitutional, he will go down screeming and yelling as he will have no way to lie his way out of this one.. And then there is the Georgia case, the stolen documents case, the inciting of the riot on January 6. 45 will be spending a lot of time in court over the next couple of years
  15. You have more than just a fatty live dude. 55555 Wish you well and keep up with getting in better shape Stay strong...no experience with liver doctors in Thailand, but always get a second opinion if you can
  16. The eyes are the window to the soul. As long as you can see a persons eyes you can relate to them.
  17. Sorry. YouTube guy only has 78 subscribers, cannot listen to a newby like this 5555 Masks are good for protecting nose and face from sunburn - skin cancer. Masks reduce the smell of gas and diesel from the too many cars on the roads when walking, Masks protect me from the thousands of Russians and Chinese here who may be sick as well. Get used to it....people do things for more than one reason and 99% of the time it is none of your business 5555 It's all good man - to each their own
  18. You do not live in the same Thailand I live in. Happiness is something that many people feel and express where I live in Pattaya. No not everyone, but Thai people are always quick with a smile or laugh if you smile and laugh with them. Over 5 years, never had a problem with Immigration or police or any Thai. Only annoyance here are the old farangs who are drunk and disorderly or want to spew their "opinions" on anyone sitting or standing near them ????
  19. Get your own VISA, Non-Imm-O or OA if over 50 would be best IMO. You already married her, do not let her be in control of you status here as well
  20. I do not own a car. Should my common area fee include car park maintenance? I don't use the bottom floor swimming pool either (use the lap pool on a different floor) Should I pay maintenance for that? I live on a lower floor and use the stairs for health and ease of entry exit. Should I have to pay for elevator maintenance and upkeep? IDK, but I do have to pay the same common area fee as all owners do, it is what it is. I would welcome all EV's, we have all ICE vehicles and I have to breathe their exhaust when I go into the garage to get my bicycle as that is where the lock up area is. OP was a bit unclear on EV scooters. Also mention EV's., Small scooters and EV bicycles all have removable batteries, they should simply take them to their own condos to charge Do not think you can charge an EV car with a simple 220 outlet....simply lock or remove the outlets if the Condo board approves it.
  21. Come on...a serious collector is not going to collect 100's of one type of bank note anywhere in the world unless he has a buyer for them
  22. Cannot get "scammed" if you do not answer phone calls from unknown people...pretty simple IMO
  23. Likely situation, someone who really has no stamina for swimming decides to get back in shape by swimming in the ocean one day. Then discovers he cannot stay afloat.
