  1. You're right, the far left and nonsense go hand in hand.
  2. For cooking we only use the big blue bottles, is this water OK? I don't know, I have a shop next door that sell it 17thb/bottle. We only drink bottles water from store 3 12 pks/100 thb Tap water we use for washing veggies and then a second rinse with bottled water.
  3. Seems like inflation could be a factor, everything costing more. Hmmm, wonder who could tackle that problem.
  4. Alot of them probably needed a healthier lifestyle.
  5. Rural life doesn't = rice paddy or jungle living. I was raised on a farm and did hard manual labor growing up. I would never live in say Bangkok, fun for a few days then it's a nightmare. Just east of Pattaya you can live as rural as you want and you have the convenience of a big city. For me having the beach nearby is a requirement for my retirement pleasure. I
  6. Had a puncture on side wall, the shop did a hot patch. That was 3 yrs ago. They put the spare on and kept patch job overnight as it would take a few hours for patch. Cost 300thb
  7. Is the initial 2 shots good enough to be considered vaccinated when entering Thailand? I believe I read it requires one booster to qualify.
  8. Ban Chang is under Rayong province as I'm sure you know, where bars - restaurants have officially been unable to serve alcohol until just this past week. Yes I've been drinking at a local bar the whole time, the Thai spots have been serving for a long time. The strip was officially shut down until recently (past week) when the official word allowed bars to openly sell.
  9. Seems when I hear "no jobs" that means he doesn't want the available jobs. Boys who don't go to university know what jobs will be available to them. Low paid brain numbing or low paid hard work jobs are the only alternative. Be prepared to cough up some money when a job is offered.
  10. Bars just recently got the official nod to open in Ban Chang area.
  11. I don't understand the problem with Musk spending his money. Why is the far left so upset? I don't twitter so I don't care. I would think it's good for people to hear both sides to an argument.
  12. Troll post if you can't supply a link from non woke source. Perhaps now folks will get a chance to view both sides and make a decision.
  13. Maybe, just maybe it wasn't just an encounter on the street but encounter in a room. If the guy has a wife there he has to explain what happened to chain. The Indian dudes like their ladyboys.
  14. Very true, me ending up in a rice paddy was my doing. From buying land to building a house, all me. I didn't think it through, I was making good money at the time. 4 months work paid for a 2M thb build. I lined up an EP school for kid elsewhere, found a rental, we packed clothes and my motorbike in my truck and left. I haven't been back even for a visit for 5 years, I have a feeling I would get sick if I was to see how her family is taking care of the house. But I have no ill feelings over my mistake because fortunately I had the money to start over. I have given this some thought, if poof if I was all alone again I would like to try renting a very high end condo in Pattaya area, maybe Bang Sare, you know the ones steps from beach, everything nice with great gym and sauna.
  15. Why subject yourself to unnecessary hardship when several good taxi services are available is my point. But, you're right there's always some people who like things done the hard way.
  16. The road has been long and bumpy but we're getting there, slowly.
  17. That is me after 2 weeks of the AK-47 of antibiotics, that was the term the doctors used, I left hospital and had wound cleaned and bandaged for a month by an outside clinic. When they admitted me to emergency the foot just looked swollen, the foot in pics happened within a few days. But it healed up nicely.
  18. I always feel sorry for those ladies.
  19. Always amazed at foreigners looking to save a baht, I always have a driver lined up, much nicer after a long flight.
  20. I had one of those idiots do that today, really annoying, the foreigner I mean.
  21. If you're serious about teaching the kids swimming, check community pools for swim lessons in the evening.
  22. 2 weeks in the Hospital, intravenous antibiotics for all 2 weeks. Never really found out what the cause was. Started as a little ahwee on a toe. I was lucky to live and keep my foot.
  23. Can't you just leave your people in Thailand your pin to ATM?
