Good thing he attacked the machine not a human.  

Iphone 11 is excellent.  However, if you can wait for the Iphone 12, it will be worth it.  But you can get the 11 then upgrade as well.

Well, in this (hopefully) hypothetical situation I guess I would lose the money spent purchasing the condo as well as any other monies I had in the country.  When I purchased the condo, I weighed the purchase price against the cost of renting long term and it just seemed reasonable to me to go ahead and buy a place.

 

But, honestly, one should never invest money in *anything* (not just Thailand or condos) that they cannot afford to lose.  

I greatly appreciate you taking the time to provide an honest answer.  Deep down I was hoping there would be an alternative for all of us that would preserve or avoid the loss, but there simply is NOT.  I love Thailand, BUT the fear of risking such a loss is simply Unacceptable.  I also do get your point about renting versus buying, I am also at that point.  However, leaning to renting only.  Good luck to you on all your future interactions with I/O.

I have a condo. 

What do you do after I/O officer refuses you entry and you spent millions on this condo?  No more entry to your home.

I don't believe you.  Have been on the roads of Thailand using most local transportation for more than 50 years and have never been involved in an accident greater than fender bender.  If you avoid motorcycles there is only a normal small chance of death on highway here.  Use motorcycle and your odds greatly increase (almost all road deaths are motorcycle riders).

You don't believe me - DON"T! I/we don't believe you.  You have a choice to live your life as you see fit.  In the end maybe you are right.  We should all follow your advice, throw all caution to the wind.  WHy not?  Thai roads are safe.  Ok everyone, did you all read that, "THai roads are safe" it's official.

Or made the cut deeper... 

I could not ever imagine a cable hang that low on a public road... 

 

 

Wonder what would be the outcome if it were a motorcycle police officer that got decapitated? 

Same outcome as with Red Bull boy that dragged a cop under his ferrari downtown BKK-nothing.

It's only a sign, what's the big deal?

Why did you not ask the I/O at the time?  Good question though...

did they catch him?

Put up with snow or thai immigration....i'll choose immigration, they can keep the snow.  Plus, they have had snow every year, they know how to deal with it.  Nothing new.

helmet might have helped.  THailand is NO place to relax on common sense.

Sort the dog problem out, sort the road deaths problem out, sort the scams & the cheating out...   come on Thailand, you have a beautiful country with beautiful people, but come on.... start giving a $h!t, for your own good. 

Agreed....well stated....And fix the immigration....this place could be so much better. 

Assume it is far worse than stated, this is serious!!  It may not kill us all like the dinosaurs but the coronavirus has already established itself and gaining momentum....Darwins law is being applied...

don't forget to give us an update how your dating went here....

Welcome to thailand, it's just the way it is here, I/we guarantee you will not be able to change, though we all wish you luck and would be ingratiated if you did.  Otherwise, enjoy the country, and assume you will die near or on a road here.  Google "Thailand road deaths stats" if you don't believe me...

Definition of insanity: doing the same thing, expecting a different result.  Well, if he cannot stop drinking then keep it up...

Does anyone know if he needs funds to help with medical, or have insurance...if he does not maybe someone could start a gofund to help.  He has more than a financial fight on his hands....

Most things are about money, a Gofund may help incentivize action, let's all give so that we can be seen as agents of change...in the meantime, until change happens - suck it up!
