If not a guesthouse there are a lot of other rentals available at or below the 65,000 price you quoted. https://www.thailand-property.com/properties-for-rent/bangkok/bang-rak/silom/2-bedrooms Sample: https://www.thailand-property.com/ads/2-bedroom-condo-for-rent-in-the-address-sathorn-silom-bangkok-near-bts-chong-nonsi_6f2f32f553ff-706f-a6b6-c71c-94439079 The Address Sathorn Condo for Rent - 2 beds - 86 sqm - 35000 THB (1 year contract)

The guy at stickmanbangkok.com writes a weekly bar-centric column (From New Zealand) and keeps in touch with ears on the ground in Bangkok. Latest info I've read is that Bars like Billboard, Butterflies and Spankys are said to be pretty popular. If you are still around there on Sept. 9th Billboard is having an 8th anniversary blowout with a lot of fanfare and hoopla.. Girl competition, 100 free gifts and pizza ect..... Soi Cowboy bar complex is further down the road near Asok and used to get a lot of selfie takers and lookie-loos due to exposure from The Hangover II movie (2011)

Below are aseannow.com links to posts old and new about "trust me " tenants who have trashed their rentals. My rentals are not in Thailand but I have had a few tenants do similar things over the last 34 years . Paid tenant background checks and tenant screening have become standard. Would you just roll the dice and gamble or at least take a few precautions to minimize the risks ? https://aseannow.com/topic/1167850-us-teacher-and-his-thai-family-left-my-condo-in-a-filthy-mess-says-landlady/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1294648-tenant-leaves-condo-in-shocking-state-after-not-paying-rent-for-4-months/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1304840-thai-condo-owner-discovers-shocking-state-after-foreign-tenants-leave/ Maybe vacant for a good reason. It does not make him desperate to jump at any offer on the table . You should also take his attitude as a warning that he is willing to wait for a tenant who is OK with this line of invasive questioning.

Chicken........Tastes Just like salty Chicken.

It's better to see them in perspective. Compared to the size of a Portuguese man of war they are a lot smaller.

For future reference , Vietjet does not necessarily always hire the tallest candidates for the job. ✈ [REQUIREMENTS] • Female: minimum height 160cm (barefoot), BMI between 18.5 – 22 (Potentially less than 5' 3" ) • Male: minimum height 170cm (barefoot), BMI between 20 – 24 (Potentially less than 5' 7" ) (1-2cm below standard can be considered if candidates got TOEIC from 600 or above) Source : https://careers.vietjetair.com/jobdetail/563 Assuming that the FA was Vietnamese and not Thai. You would have 2 different cultures communicating in a third language or a poor translation to begin with. What might be considered as blunt or impolite in one culture might be considered as a form of enlightenment in another. Vietnamese generally score higher than Thais on I.Q. tests. Plus, there are a lot of cultural eggshells and thin ice dilemmas in Thailand to be aware of : Don't point your feet or raise your feet higher than someone's head, or simply putting your feet on a desk or chair are considered extremely rude in Thailand. ... Don't touch someone's head. ... Don't point. ... Don't lose your cool. ... Don't disrespect the king. ... Don't throw things. Don't step on money blowing away in the wind.... When are they not offended ? Unless there's a boycott or lawsuit brewing behind this brouhaha, I'm going to consider it a win for the airline and move on. i'll even look them up in the future if they fly to any of the destinations I travel to.. Travelling without a plane full of Doug and Wendy whiners sounds like a less painful experience to have to pay for..... , Cheers

Or the flight attendant could have been exactly the same size and weight of the person making the request.... or was previously injured ...or was frustrated and fatigued from having helped other passengers up to that point. We just don't know enough to take this case to a jury and convict her . Also evident is the lack of any previous news articles specifically about this airlines' practices in general. One thing we do know is that mob rule took a kick in the balls on this flight. Vietnam Airlines stood 100% behind their own policies and their own employee and did not succumb to being bullied by a group of people who had the potential to become even more disruptive and unruly during the flight (as you can see on many youtube videos.) I speculate that this policy was put in place based on previous incidents that they were unprepared to deal with. It definitely sends a message and they definitely remain in control instead of waiting to see what happens next. I have never flown this airline , but after banking over 1 million flight miles to Asia and other areas, I actually have never witnessed any FA perform their duties in a less than professional manner. I have seen passengers do unbeleivably dishonest and callous things including attemting to steal my belongings so I can be considered to be somewhat biased towards the airlines' side of the story in this case. And for the record, the eyewitness "influencer" sided with the airlines' handling of the issue in an update to the original article quoted below ..... Akaradej praised the cabin crew for their professionalism and ability to handle the situation. He stated that he felt compelled to share the story to provide a counterpoint to any potential complaints the crew might receive. He further clarified that cabin crew members are not required to assist passengers with their luggage, and any assistance provided is out of goodwill.

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Two FBI agents were killed and three wounded in a shooting that erupted on Tuesday when they arrived to search an apartment https://apnews.com/article/fbi-agents-killed-florida-4c5b7cfc67469f9954491a04fdefe96b 75 and harmless ? They should have waited to see if he really was serious about killing anyone. ? How about this 72 year old guy who killed 11 and wounded 9 in January . This was after sending a manifesto to law enforcement, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/21/us/california-monterey-park-mass-shooter-manifesto/index.html No one has a crystal ball that can accurately predict what an individual will do . Taking him on his word is a good way to hedge your bet that he just might be trying to give you a heads up warning.

Why IS It That Super-Smart People, Almost INVARIABLY, Turn Out to Be Atheists? Hear it HERE…Straight from the Horse’s Mouth! How smart was Feynman ? He married 3 times. Trial and error I guess. Apples and Oranges of the same order where one size of genius does not necessarily fit all sizes of intellectual requirements . He did not win a nobel in theology but you assume that because he's smart his conclusions are transferable to all and sundry . Conversely , there was Georges Lemaître Georges Lemaître, (1894-1966), Belgian cosmologist, Catholic priest, and father of the Big Bang theory. Trained in both , he used one discipline to verify his beliefs in the other. A cosmologist and a Catholic priest walk into a Universal bar . One orders the math for a Big Bang Theory and the other one orders the belief that it is possible that all of this could be real ..... They both get the same drink. In a way believing, or believing in someone because you consider them to be more worthy, enlightened or intelligent than yourself seems just as weak, lazy and naive as following a self proclaimed messiah or messenger of any concept or belief. It's up to the individual to make their own observations and arrive at their own conclusions. I get no thrill or satisfaction from Hiding behind so called "Super-Smart People" This type of discussion can go on for years without any real resolution .

Maybe they are "Springtails" I see more of them on hot humid days .They can crawl but they usually jump. There are almost 40 on the tip of the finger in the photo below. Web search results "Should I worry about springtails? Springtails are not a danger to people, pets, or the structures of buildings; they can however become an invading pest that enters homes in large numbers and becomes quite a nuisance. They’re often confused with fleas because their ability to jump and small size make them seem like any other tiny insect – but springtails don’t bite!" "....Pesticides are not effective against springtails and should not be used."

Think I saw this premise on an old Andy Griffith show. His kid was getting ripped off by a bully and was afraid of taking a beating if he stopped giving up the money. You can sugar coat it all day but the only thing that would allow something like this to continue is fear and successful intimidation . Every other excuse you describe is pure Bull-Sheisse. If you are afraid to stop it then no advice in the world is going to magically change this for the better. He's simultaneously banging her body and banging your mind .

Parafareno, if English is not your first language please use a translator to read this post. Thais love their jasmine rice. I like it too In this relationship the reason for the breakup is you and not the rice. The two types of rice you mentioned (Basmati and Jasmine) have different characteristics . Jasmine rice is naturally sticky. It's like saying you hate sugar because it tastes too sweet or why can't my poodle be more like my Rottweiler. The solution is to cook the different rice in a different way. You can lookup a few recipes on-line for how to cook jasmine rice to make it less sticky and more fluffy . You have a few options to try before you give up and throw the bag of rice into a trash bin. Sample: Unlike basmati rice, which should be soaked, jasmine rice should never be soaked since it is already naturally soft. In Southeast Asia jasmine rice is traditionally steamed, but nowadays it's usually made in a rice cooker and served plain, without oil or salt. Other recipes stress rinsing it more but using less water while cooking .

Always try the forum search window first. This subject came up on another thread a few years ago : https://aseannow.com/topic/1022585-wrapping-a-bicycle/ .

Your problem is that you don't spend enough time on the internet to see this crap over and over in different forms. The victim will always win or achieve eligibility .... The scam uses the same basic format of sending you down a proverbial rabbit hole of distraction as you get sheared for your money or personal information while also generating "clicks" to give the website more prominence on the web . Testimonials : Most TV ads will show a small disclaimer showing that the person is a paid actor or has received compensation for their testimonial or endorsement . The internet does not seem have or enforce this practice. I don't want to start a new thread but here's a few reasons why the scams won't be going away any time soon. Individual scammers exposed. Youtube has a host of videos showing how the intended victims turn the tables on boiler room scammers. A few of them when caught are candid about their opinions of their victims as being stupid and deserving of the deception with a high number pointing to Americans as being their favorite targets. 419 Fraud—Advance Fee Scam Also known as the Nigerian letter scam, 419 fraud is one of the most common scams on the Internet—and one you've likely seen in your own inbox. The advance fee scheme takes its name after the section of the Nigerian criminal code that outlaws fraud. According to the FBI, 11,264 people reported falling victim to advance fee scams in 2022. Collectively, they lost $104 million, or roughly $9,232 each.17

Not exactly true.... Hillery 48.2% vs Trump 46.1%. There is a system in place that can and did override the popular vote. It's called "The Electoral College". Slightly off topic so you'll have to look it up for a full explanation of how a loser like Trump can win a presidential election in the U.S. . Source: (CNN) — More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history. The Democrat outpaced President-elect Donald Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. https://www.cnn.com/2016/12/21/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-popular-vote-final-count/index.html

According to the original thepattayanews article “She ordered food from an online application and asked me to go pick the food nearby. I stepped out briefly to do so but when I got back to the room, Plaeng was gone along with my mobile phone that cost 42,000 baht. She also later transferred money from my bank application, in total 58,000 baht.” Jack concluded. It was unclear how Plaeng got access to Jack’s banking data or who the money was transferred to. ......Obvious questions : 1) What were the original communication timestamps 2)The food order, receipt, and pickup confirmation timestamps 3) The bank information, location of the phone and money transfer timestamps 4) cctv arrivals and departures i.e, Hotel and restaurant etc... My first opinion is that this is a cover story for a false loss claim...... It either it adds up to "yes, he was that stupid" or "yes, he thinks the police are that stupid".

Are you serious? Nothing justifies such an attack. @ HighPriority was more likely referencing a previous topic where a Thai Dance Teacher was groped on Walking street @ 3am. A few responses appeared to be unsympathetic to her complaint and also to the eventual resolution of the incident. https://aseannow.com/topic/1271058-pattaya-dance-teacher-files-report-claiming-foreign-tourist-inappropriately-touched-her-while-out-for-a-stroll-on-walking-street/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1271222-indian-man-agrees-to-pay-200k-baht-to-dance-teacher-over-inappropriate-touch-on-pattaya-walking-street/#comments I don't think these 2 guys are going to see daylight with a simple fine and an apology. The blood of the stabbing victim puts this on a completely different level. Maybe millions of baht instead of thousands..... Maybe jail time instead of detention for questioning.

OK Put yourself in the drivers seat and then ask why you, as an alien would want to identify yourself to the (human) race. Human Beings who regularly : hate, assassinate , subjugate, interrogate, intimidate, and incinerate each other.......... for really good reasons in their minds. . Whether by genocide in Zimbabwe , Armenia or Nazi Germany or the Pearl Harbor's , Hiroshima's , or Presidents waving at crowds , or people on crowded subways , Boston Marathons or Desert Storms, somebody is going to die at the hands of some self righteous "human" zealot or idiot. Would I be any safer as an alien from another world ? There is also this blind love affair with hierarchy in the "Take me to your leader" mentality that absolves people from taking direct responsibility for their actions. Who would you talk to ? Putin ? Kim Jong-Un ? Why would you even bother to help "people" who seem to be dedicated to their own demise ? The 2004 USS Nimitz UFO incident with credible witnesses backed by documentation is one of the reasons they can honestly acknowledge that there is something real going on beyond the scope of today's available technology. https://www.history.com/news/uss-nimitz-2004-tic-tac-ufo-encounter The what, who and why are yet to be determined .....................

Over the years I came up with a temporary solution. As soon as I notice the problem in hotels or while renting an apartment I use the drain plugs (if provided) to block the sink and tub. If no plugs are available I mold wet paper to block the air flow until I can find a local hardware supply store. . . If the sink or tub has an upper vent hole I drape something over the openings . There may also be a floor drain that needs to be covered as well.

Looks like they might be wearing a bullseye on their backs. Maybe just statistics or maybe too embarrassed to pass the word to their fellow countrymen , but they are getting picked off like fish in a barrel. Here are a few more robbery incidents on record.
