  1. I don't know. IMO it's not like the West, where the low man on the sales totem pole gets fired.
  2. Do you drink alcohol? Eat bacon? Smoke tobacco? Please post a link to a peer-reviewed study in a reputable journal which supports your opinion deodorants can cause cancer. A YouTube video of some quack won't cut it.
  3. It's a long time since I was there, so my recollections may be out of date. IIRC there was nothing under 300K baht, anything older than that probably goes to the car tents. Odometers were usually 100K - 150K, lower readings got more expensive. Toyota Sure has a warranty of 1 year/20,000 km or 2 year/40,000 km depending on vehicle age. I tend to focus more on condition and odometer reading, than on year of manufacture. My auto mechanic in Chiang Rai loves my 2006 Toyota Vios, because he says it is so simple to work on. IMO the advent of cheap electric cars is probably driving prices down on secondhand ICE's.
  4. Any rational person can see inequity is so deeply entrenched in America that three individuals there have more money than the bottom 150 million Americans. Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg. The USA is now an oligarchy. If you think Trump is going address said inequity, you're a fool. Who do you think helped him into power? When I was 20 yo, I could see a way forward in terms of getting a good education, a good job, and building a financial base. I paid off my first house mortgage in 18 months, paid cash for every home thereafter. What do 20 year olds have to look forward to now? Crushing student debt, a house mortgage they will still be paying off in retirement, and jobs where the tax burden they shoulder is far more than tax-dodging multi-nationals. IIRC Trump paid $750 in tax in 2017 and 2018. A janitor at one of his properties probably paid more. Capitalism is failing as the gulf of inequity widens.
  5. Another option is a ToyotaSure used car dealership. They may haggle, depending on how much unsold inventory they have. Most auto mechanics in Thailand know how to work on Toyotas, and their reputation for reliability is well-earned. I am very satisfied with a late model Mazda 2 I bought from ExpatAuto.
  6. OP, check out this website: https://expatautocm.com/ The prices are fixed, no haggling. However, you are dealing with people such that you don't need a Thai person.
  7. Er -you didn't think to ask when she wanted to start the job?
  8. You were into spectator sport, then. I preferred getting into the thick of it.
  9. Please copy and paste the thread post where I said that, I think you have me confused with someone else. Noted you do not attempt to refute my post re negativity, but try a lame deflection instead. IIRC you have nearly 1000 posts on the Australian Age Pension thread. Please quote one - just one - where you have said something positive.
  10. The lassies seemed to like it, their opinion was and is more significant to me than yours. How many chicks did you pull with YOUR stick?
  11. Welcome to KH's world, where everything is expressed in negative terms. Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.
  12. In terms of climate change, it is in everyone's interest - including China - to share the technology. The infrastructure needed to bring nuclear fusion to the same supplier status as conventional power stations is far more complex and expensive than simply burning coal, oil or gas. To me, it's the same as sharing vaccine technology. Disease has no boundaries, neither does climate change.
  13. I am wondering if GG is regressing in time, like the grand cesilical elliptical oozle bird. I preferred the white bottle with a sailing ship on it.
  14. It's called vibratto when singers of both genders use it. Neil Diamond is a good example.
  15. IMO the OP needs enough capital and pension for an permanent income of 60,000 baht/month. Minimum. Without health insurance, add in 3-5 million baht for serious medical issues.
  16. When there's a guy who has been released on a pardon saying the first thing he will do is buy a gun, that's nasty.
  17. As I thought, nothing useful to post.
  18. It would be a good idea if Vegemite was not loaded with salt, therefore corrosive.
  19. AFAIK I've only had blood tests in a government hospital as an inpatient. I use Mengrai Labs in Chiang Rai. A full blood examination ( FBE ) is 1200 baht. Doctor is not needed, they email me the results in about 90 minutes.
  20. I don't see why this thread should be of any concern to law-abiding expats and retirees, although it looks like a fertile field for conspiracy theorists and former lawmen.
  21. I don't drink alcohol, and I haven't been on eBay for about 20 years. Some of the baiting attempts on threads like these are so pathetic, it's embarrassing.
  22. I guess that's why Russia has halted exports of refined products. Venezuala has the world's biggest oil reserves. The Siberian oil fields are a Red Queen's race. If they stop pumping, they freeze. That's why Russia has to sell oil at a discount.
  23. The Brotherhood pipeline is now shut, by Ukraine. That is the last pipeline to Europe. The graph shows what sales have been made before and after the invasion.
