  1. Strangely enough, during COVID, I stayed uninterrupted for two years, and I charged everything, including 7/11 purchases, all food orders, and everything except where vendors accept only cash. I still do the same in Thailand for half of the year now.
  2. People are so gullible. As if writing a protest letter would debar an IO from doing his job and denying entry. IOs in every country have full authority to deny entry even with a visa. Go fight the denial in a court. I want to see how it works, not to mention the expenses. And for what? To enter Thailand?
  3. I was watching a Russian female's TikTok video, and she said that most Russian men are always in a rage, and they could kill a person when in a rage. And she concluded that they needed wars to kill people legitimately.
  4. I never heard about anybody complaining about things getting expensive. Anyway, my weed budget is in line with that of most drinkers. I don't drink at all and don't go to bars except in ganja cafes.
  5. What kind of work? Remote work from your own house? Or outright working on the streets, selling something? How did they catch you? It will be an interesting story for this forum.
  6. I never did any servicing on my car since I bought it new in the USA. I drove it for close to 100,000 miles, then sold it and bought one more. Again, we did not do any servicing. All my life, I did this. This is the fourth unserviced car I am using. I only change oils.
  7. Why the Thai government will be friends with people who have fled 10,000 miles to find a decent living in a foreign country, including women for a family.
  8. If you don't pay taxes in your home country, then you must pay here in Thailand. There is no confusion about it. Confusion is for people who do pay taxes in their home country and bring post-taxed funds to Thailand.
  9. https://www.naturallivingideas.com/homemade-mosquito-repelling-incense/
  10. Can they be deported to a country except the country passport they used to enter Thailand? Should not the Israeli government at least lodge a diplomatic protest? If not, the reporting is fishy, and don't believe an iota of this information except that they did work illegally in a venue without a license.
  11. Is this how people operate rental condos here in Thailand? Take the loan from the bank, rent it as long as it is profitable, and when it becomes unprofitable, just stop paying mortgages and collect as much rent and deposit as one can.
  12. Doesn't Thai EMS require you to declare the content? Can I declare marijuana? Is it legal to mail weed?
  13. I am staying on the eastern side of Samui Island (near Chaweng) for two days. I'll go to Phangan on Sunday afternoon. In Phangan, I am staying in Thong Sala. I have to go to Haad Rin from Thong Sala for the FMP. How do I go there? Grab?
  14. At age 62, with three million USD in assets (including real estate in the USA, which is a kind of 80% liquid asset), I don't think of investing any more. In seven years, I will get $4,500 in SS. My investments are in technology, AI, and financial ETFs, target-year funds, VOO, SPY, CDs, and US government bonds. I sleep tight, and if the world comes to an end, I want to die, not survive; hence, I have kept a handgun but am not sure if I would have the courage to pull the trigger or not. Only time will tell.
  15. I am going to Samui in February during the Full Moon Party. Are there any nice cannabis cafes in Samui? Are there any Thai nightclubs like Mahanakhon in Pattaya Tai? Is Bolt service readily available, like in Pattaya? I'm also going to Koh Phangan for the full moon party. Any tips?
  16. I'm planning to go to Koh Samui by flight in February and intend to take ten joints in a cigarette pack. I have a hunch that it must be illegal in flight under some regulations, but how severely are they enforced, and what is the maximum fine I could expect for that? I know I can buy them in Koh Samui, but I need to have some supplies with me for the strains I like before I explore Samui and find some to my liking. By the way, are there any nice ganja cafes in Samui?
  17. Money can also buy. You can enter the fast track lane by purchasing a business class ticket; however, I believe the OP asked if IOs would harass him for staying too long in Thailand. To answer that question, if one has a Thai wife (or family) and a proper visa, he will not be harassed.
  18. Why? Can one buy gold cheaper in Nepal? I know gold smuggling from Dubai to India is a big one because gold is cheaper in Dubai than in India.
  19. Sell the car in your home country and buy it here, used or new, depending on your choice and finances.
  20. There is no traffic police anywhere inside the town. Red-light jumping is fairly common by cars and MCs at the pedestrian crossing near Rompho Market, blocking corner turns by parked cars, etc. Of course, both foreigners and the locals are responsible.
  21. You're right. I advised all my nephews and nieces to open a ROTH and an HSA and contribute to the yearly limit if possible.
  22. I'm insured in the US, and it pays only 50% in Thailand because it is out of their PPO network. I also have an HSA card with years of contributions and have accumulated an impressive return on investment in the HSA. If you're a US citizen, you will know what an HSA is and its tax-free benefits.
  23. I go to BPH and never pay anything in advance except before leaving. I stayed overnight twice, and on both occasions, they told me how much the charge would be in advance. Maybe all these talks of hospitals asking for money before admitting are a fantasy. In Bangkok, I used to go to Bumrungrad, and the story is the same.
  24. He knows that people who had to flee their homeland to take refuge in Thailand for a comfortable life must bow to every demand of the IO and genuflect before them. This is a way to remind them of their place in Thai society because their own society is not able to provide them a comfortable living.
