Then why own it? Collections are for Museums -
Is it a SIN to convert a Classic Car to Electric ?
Skallywag replied to Social Media's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
It is a sin to own or drive any ICE car in the 21st century. Set an example if you must drive, and drive an EV. Big Oil Corporations are ruining the world and do not care about anyone but their stock holders and CEO's. Do you really want to keep supporting criminals and those who take advantage of everyone for profit? Grow up people -
Do Expats become estranged and socially alienated ?

Really? No trans or ladyboys outside the tourist areas? I do not know, just asking -
Do Expats become estranged and socially alienated ?
Skallywag replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yes, Dan about Thailand...this guy is a salesman/content provider/real estate agent I believe. Cannot figure out how he "makes a living", but am a boomer and do not understand how people collecting subscribers and views make money online. He needs a lot of income to raise a couple children and stay in fancy villas on Koh Chang and Jomtien and eat out at fancy restaurants...likely gets freebies for praising restaurants on his youtube and facebook channels. He may be at a juncture where he sees his "content providing" really is not going to provide an income for the long haul, and real estate sales is a competitive market here in Thailand. I do not think he is estranged or alienated, yet because his lifestyle seems to be in the top 3% or so of expats here, not that many in his social wheelhouse. Yes, just speculating on much of this, yet have followed him online for a few years and this is my take.... -
We "reside" here, many of us are simply not be able to afford to keep a U.S. address. I do like your point that we paid into Medicare, so why can't we use it abroad. Likely the ability or willingness of Medicare to communicate with Thai hospitals and accountants here on the billing. Although the label "expat" seems to point out that "We're not in Kansas anymore" Wizard of Oz 1939! 555

Stormy Daniels: Trump invited to testify before grand jury
Skallywag replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
If the Grand Jury indicts him, he will go to jail, so that could happen... Likely someone will bail him out of course -
Wedding Savings Stolen

Well he likely dodged a bullet, marriage was not supposed to be! -
This is a problem caused by all of us and overpopulation. Do you eat rice? Do you eat sugar? Do you eat corn? Then it is partly your problem and no government can tell farmers not to farm and feed people... If you do live life without rice, sugar, and corn, then you can complain about air quality, otherwise you must realize it is all of us that are the problem, not the "government" Of course electrical generation and ICE transport is also part of the air pollution problem, but from December to April in Thailand, it is mostly burning of chaff from the 3 crops listed above.

I read the opposite about Medicare advantage plan!? "When you move abroad, you should disenroll from and stop paying premiums for your Medicare Advantage Plan or stand-alone prescription drug plan (Part D). You are not eligible for these plans because you live outside the plan service area, and your coverage must end if you live outside of the United States. It is your responsibility to notify your plan that you are moving." https://www.medicareinteractive.org/get-answers/medicare-health-coverage-options/medicare-and-living-abroad/medicare-advantage-and-part-d-for-those-who-live-abroad

King Charles is 'evicting Harry and Meghan !
Skallywag replied to Social Media's topic in World News
"King Charles is 'evicting Harry and Meghan" . You cannot evict people who do not live in the house or even the same country. House is in England, and Harry/Meghan live in California! 555 Whoever has their name on the title deed can do what they want, BTW Bloody hell, these tossers act like they have a right to things just because of their heritage! 55555 -
King Charles is 'evicting Harry and Meghan !
Skallywag replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Believe almost every King of England had mistresses. Do they count as "affairs" ? At least 10 Kings mentioned in Wikipedia going back to 1660 and Charles the II ... All had mistresses. So YES, the Royals do engage in affairs! 5555 -

POTUS is the Commander in Chief and head of the Executive Branch of our government. We also have the Judicial and Legislative branches. England is a Parliamentary government with the Prime Minister as the head 2 different forms of government as far as I know. -

HAVE YOU Ever BEEN Top of your Game? In Like Flynn?
Skallywag replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
In the late 70's I saw Jeff Beck group open for Mahavishnu Orchestra, also saw Al Di Meola with Chick Corea on the Return to Forever tour, and later Rory Gallagher. Rory was better than Beck IMO. John McLaughlin and Al Di Meola were better than both, of course more jazz and avant guard players than the others -
Did anyone read this story from Thai news? Happened on Phi Phi island. Koh Phi Phi is small enough to walk around. Motorcycle rentals should be banned. No reason to cause noise and air pollution on an idealistic little island . We need to restrict "businesses" that are unnecessary and harmful to the environment as much as possible. <deleted> this is the 21st century, lets get past the addiction to ICE cars and bikes please

No ED Visa for over 50s
Skallywag replied to FreddieMercury's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Good one. That photo is from a music festival in Austin, Texas called Skallywag, not someones made up name. Skallywag: " a person who behaves badly but in an amusingly mischievous rather than harmful way; a rascal."
