The debit was refunded yesterday without explanation, of course pleased to get the cash back but it would have been nice to have known what happened.

That's good news.
Please explain what procedure others should follow if we become victims.
Do we need to file a police report? 

If the co-owners are renting their Condos on a daily/weekly contract, I've heard this is illegal. 

Have a talk to city Hall about your concerns, possibly illegal tenants. 

I'm sure city Hall will do something.

I am amazed, with your experience, that you think the most safe place to ride is in the middle of a group of bikes.

The most safe place to ride is ahead of the traffic behind you, behind the traffic ahead of you. Then you only have to watch out for oncoming traffic and those overtaking you.

 

On my pcx that's where I am

So do you ride ? If so - what ?

I've lived in Thailand for more than 20 years. I bought my first scooter, yamaha mio 2002, I've owned many scooters now have a pcx150. It's simple to park and manoeuvre through traffic.
2010 I bought a Buell, 4 years later a Diavel, now I own an xdiavel.
To each their own, a big scooter is not my cup of tea, I enjoy being in the company of any bike rider that respects the safety of themselves and others. 
Take care out there.

Still no reply - most probably not a rider.

Anyone who says the safest place to ride is in the middle of a pack of bikes has Zero experience - or credibility.

I concur, when on a bike make your space back and front and sideways. ????

Why would I bother replying to hostile comments. 
You guys carrying on like school yard bullies. Grow up delinquents. 
I made an Innocuous commitment which is my prerogative as a TV member. 
There's no need to antagonise, you're just looking for someone to react.

Trust you mean acoustic tile rather than what most of us think of - ceramic tile.   Living in a bathroom is not my idea of quiet.  Years ago I did tile with burnt cork but that was messy to the extreme as decayed over the years.

No, ceramic tile.

Just tile the wall that has the noise. 

Easy and cheap.

. I can hear the neighbors walk around, going to the bathroom, well, you get the picture

The cheapest option would be to tile the wall. 

There are some great looking tiles to choose. Make a feature wall.

my 'Need for Speed' means I am usually full throttle leaving the lights - after checking cross traffic

Very dangerous practice, even after checking. 

Safetst place to be when going through a set of lights in Thailand is to be in the middle of the pack

. I would not trust here any low mileage car without its stamped service book including dates and the mileage

I've owned a few cars here in Pattaya and never had a service book.

I'd say if you visited the dealer with the blue book you could ask for a print out of the service history for a small fee.

The Chinese vaccine should be the most effective considering Covid19 was manufactured by the Chinese. 

Please find below link to Google Scholar, it's the only true source for reliable, correct information.
You Google, Facebook believers and keyboard warriors sadly need to be educated.

don't have a smart phone

This baffles me. 

I have a friend, similar age without any device to connect to the WWW.

I keep asking him to buy a cheap phone, around 4000 Baht and I would show him the basic functions, also set him up with an email address. 

Anyone recently had their Rabbit Line Pay account approved? 

I keep getting a message 

Identity verification request needs to be verified when I try to make a payment. 

I successfully deposited funds into my account. 

Successfully uploaded my selfy photo with passport.

1 hour Thai massage for ฿100. 

Avoid the Thai massage, it's painful, sticking you with wooden sticks and their elbows, ouch. 

Pay the extra, get an oil massage.

Look at the bright side. 

You're drawing less current. 

If the voltage is higher you draw more current. Read my post above.

The power rating of the electrical appliance remains constant. 

Ohms law E=IR, P=EI

If the voltage increases you must get a decrease in current. 

The power rating cannot change.

Use BOLT, it's an APP. 

I avoid taxi's, they won't use their meter, it just becomes too frustrating. 

I was up in BKK last month and I was using Bolt, you are given the fare when you order your taxi, so you know exactly what the price is. 

Better still, stay at Boutique hotel. 

Its just around the corner. 

While you're there head over to chututcha Market lots of stuff for sale. 

Also the parks have reopened, beautiful parkland just a short walk. 

BTW, the hotel is amazing, they had a 2 nights for 1 deal last month. Check out the guitar collection on the 2nd floor, the owner must be a musician.

The artwork in each of the rooms is outstanding. 

Boutique poo yai Lee hotel

You will be impressed.
