SAFETY FIRST

I see the sign entering and exiting baNGKok. Love it, been there for decades. 👍

Just to be on the safe side you better put it in my account. 😮

You've come to the right place Mr Swissie for medical information. Lots of Dr. AN's here, PhD's from Kangaroo University.

I agree, very selfish but We don't know all the facts. Its a sad world at times.

This is sad news, poor bugger. 😔

Strange headline. I very rarely comment on political issues in Thailand but this guy gives me the creeps. I'd say BUCKLE UP, it's going to be a roller coaster ride.

Taxes are paid by the seller Taxes are minimal after owning for 5 years or more.

Agree, next time go further south, outstanding views.

You live Hat Yai, I understand why you want to go for a long ride. Years ago I'd fly to Hat Yai every other month, then drive over to Songkla, working offshore. Hat Yai doesn't have much to offer. Why not ride down to Malaysia. I worked for a few years on the double track project, Rawang to Thailand, it's beautiful country side and beautiful people.

If you are staying at different locations I'd say what you are doing is the best option, keep it cooler. Nothing better than sleeping in your own bed. Sadly, I travel every month, you just can't get the ambience right sleeping in different locations.

I reckon you're asking the wrong crowd for this posting. It depends on the individual. 1. Time spent in hot regions. 2. Fitness. 3. Age Lots of factors to consider, most of the guys here I reckon are overweight/obese, only lived UK and Thailand. You need a larger sample size. It depends where I'm sleeping, the condo I have is like a cave, faces the east, never warms up so the AC rarely goes on at night. The house gets much hotter and stays hot, AC goes on every night at 25 degrees. The kids like it colder, their rooms always at 22 degrees, think blankets.

I'M LIVING THE DREAM. 👌 Thailand has been my home for over 20 years, I've been most places and done most things, I never get bored, I love Thailand to pieces, thanks so much Thailand 🙏 I like your thoughts regarding long bike ride but please don't take the mrs. If she gets hurt you'll never forgive yourself. A few years ago I rode Pattaya to Koh Kong (Cambodia) and back, the best ride of my life but very dangerous. The big trucks coming from the other direction at speed, it's like hitting a wall, you must keep focused, it's not for the unskilled. The rain, it comes down sideways, I dumped the raincoat, bloody noisy, I rode for an hour in the rain then dried out the next hour, this went on for hours. As you get closer to Cambodia, the views from Sukhumvit Road, it overlooks the ocean, those beautiful beaches, narrowest part of Thailand. I'M THE LUCKIEST GUY ON THE PLANET, THANKS GOD 👍

Yes, I agree, everyday I see weird and angry Thais, it's Thailand, it's to be expected. In Australia I see many weird and angry Australians. Its really <deleted> up that I see so many weird and angry foreigners here in Thailand. I don't see many weird and angry foreigners on the roads in Australia. Look at the above posting, vulgar, offensive comment remove. What sort of weird, angry foreigner is posting this offensive stuff? Probably the same weird, angry foreigners I see on the roads daily.

Surely you're making this stuff up 🤔

Must be desperate, despite the fact that the economy, officially, is growing fast, and almost everyone being employed.. It was a joke 😮

I reckon something in that horrible brown sauce. HP 🤮

Oh dear 😮

Why is there a pile of rubbish? Plenty of council rubbish bins on the soi's.

I reckon its a fake posting, the OP is bored, too much free time. He's a creative writer.

This makes a change, Kuwaiti's are usually 2 or 3 up riding their scooters helmet less in groups of 30+, terrorizing the locals here in Pattaya.

Yes, sorry I am easily amused. The comment did make me chuckle...... he said he would NEVER join a club that would accept him as a member. It got me thinking about other things.

Speaking of begging, During covid the owner of FM103 had a gofundme page.

This is what AN forums need, more humour. 🤣 Well done, thanks for the laugh mate. 👍

It seems to be the norm these days, the owner of the local radio station FM103, Tommy Dee does the same thing.

Oh, phew, that's a relief. I was in the running for the Billy BS award this month, looks like Dan has won it. 👍
