    Did you listen? The side effects were "tingling" and elevated heart rate.  I would not consider this significant.  Tell me, how many people have died from the vaccine?  These vaccines are being watched closely and I expect that as soon as someone complains, they will pause.   Given option of vaccine and some  small discomfort or potential of being infected with Covid19 and being in hospital and maybe dying, I will take vaccine, thank you. 

    I am all for discussion of  merit of a vaccine, but the people who are contrary are always giving crazy reasons against the vaccine. 

    So as long as you don't die from side effects then it's safe, right? I wouldn't call elevated heart rate... minor.

    If I ever go back to Australia, my son has a room reserved for me in his house. Not that I would want to, except for a brief visit.

    I sold my house in Australia, too much work in maintenance and if I get a problem tenant, they can cost thousands of dollars in a month. Most of the time, agents are acting in their own interest, not yours.

    The proceeds are invested in blue-chip shares and peer-to-peer lending, which keeps me capital-stable while I use the income to supplement my pension. I live here as well as I want to.

    Property is great if one has a 20 to 30 year time window. It's not worth the hassle when someone is in their seventies.

    It goes without saying the agents are acting in their self interest. I have 2 rentals one I deal with personally because I trust the tenants to maintain and handle all repairs, and the other has an agent. I keep the properties because that's how wealth is gained, when one generation hands down to the next. My son will be getting both some day. I've had the same agent for 17 years. After taxes, Ins. and repairs it's not a large earner but it's nice to have. 

     

    I do think about selling and living large here in Thailand but it's not in my DNA.

    Yes, but more accurately if I go out I usually drink more. I leave the transport at home and get a taxi, or stop over-night. (I live out of town). If I lived in central Pattaya, getting back home without driving is even easier. 

    When I have a beer it's a couple at a nearby local bar (not Patts) but am sure it puts me over the limit. In the states I would never have more than 1 slow beer and drive because of the consequences. This is one of the perks of living in thailand.

    Firstly what you say is the same for any criminal punishment, it goes beyond the individual to family and dependents, but we cannot stop punishment based on that concern. It is part of the supposed deterrent. 

    The fact that his bad behaviour will continue in his home country is that country's issue, Thailand should not have to endure more, he was given an opportunity to live here, and treated that hospitality with no respect, and perhaps disdain. Any country should be able to remove the criminals from other places.

     

    Not Thailand's financial responsibility to supply therapy either.  

     

    Sad, but I want to feel safer here in Thailand, removing criminals and drunk drivers, foreign and domestic, is what it takes. 

    So if you go out for 1 or 2 beers (drinks) so you either walk or take a taxi home?

    I would also like a container but remember there will be a lot of heat and condensation in these containers.

    I'm looking for a Porta-Cabin however as per everything here they are asking far to much for them.   

      

    Buy one of those twirlly fans for roof. They help, I have 2 40 fters in Ca. The fans help but it's dry heat there, not sure how weather here would be inside a container.
