Thinking of sending my daughter to school in Ban Chang and wondered if anyone knows any condos for rent in the area? Or possibly some reasonable houses or town houses? 

Pandemics generally happen once every 100 years. If another came so soon then we either had a fake one or the next one is fake

She said she's tired of men. Men like to flirt, men are not honest, men take no responsibility and things like these.

Toms are better educated and have better jobs than girls?  Where did you pull that from?

The op said his daughter with Tom's.

My statement was about Tom's v Boys

Found the Dunkel watery but its cheap. Better to buy a beer Lao dark. The malt one is ok Again a Singha reserve is better.

It's kinda annoying for me today as I'm only in Bangkok today.

Just got to the Londoner and no booze being sold. 

Obviously I can go to the mom and pops buy would be nice to sit in a establishment and have a drink.

Splitting hairs. Technically it is Ao Hin Khok but no-one ever refers to it as that. It is for all intents and purposes the tail end of Sai Kaew beach.

Correct and they do refer to it as Ao Hin Khok. It is separated by the statue and rocky face. If that doesnt count as a separate beach then there is only one beach all down that side of the island.

Can recommend; 'Avatara Resort'. Stayed there with Mrs 12 months ago. Very spacious rooms. Excellent breakfast choices and bar on the delightful Sai Kaew beach. 

Avatara isnt on Saikaew beach

Yes digital currency will pave the way For human enslavement. Government control just shut off your income stream

 

Remember the Canadian government, A supposed Western free democracy, When they shut off the bank accounts of Canadian truckers protesting

 

It’s a very real and boring future ahead

So they shut down the truckers accounts before we had a digital economy.

Except for, among other things, the more than 33,000 Thais who have been hospitalized because of COVID thus far this year, and the 800+ who have died because of it, all during 2023.

 

 

He said on Monday that the number of patients with respiratory diseases, specifically influenza, has risen significantly after the ministry scrapped mandatory mask-wearing in October last year. From Jan.

From Jan 1-Sept 16, there were 185,216 cases, or 279.9 cases per 100,000 population, and four deaths.

There will be in Ban Phe. Samet is more reserved. A few local kids and some foreigners in the bars play!

Considering they ask for your phone number and email you would think that they could notify us.

Or even mention it when you come in for a 90 day report

Coconut oil to stop them biting. Dont have a remedy once they bite!

We talked about this last night, in our years or travel here in Thailand and Laos, Malaysia, Cambodia there hasn't been a hotel/resort we wouldn't stay at again. Several we have re-visited, and recommended to friends.

One beach resort we've stayed at numerous times since 2011, lovely location, owners and rooms - just looked at their reviews and a recent '2-star complaint' was that the swimming pool should have been bigger. 

Myself also. I imagine that's because you.do your research unlike most people. 

Thai painting. Paint the wall, paint the ceiling, splash the floor and any other variable of this.

Many bad reviews of hotels are because of customers failure to do their own due diligence.

Things like "The hotel isn't on the beach". Booking partial seaview rooms and complaining of not having a full seaview. Saying there is no safe, gym or pool when they are not listed in facilities.

My favorite is when tourists go to the islands and then complain that their room wasn't good value because they got a much better room in Pattaya for less.

Most people are ok but 10/20% of people are idiots. 

Food reviews are also subjective.  Too salty or too sweet. 

My general rule is if reviews are 75% positive I will give the place a go if i like the look of it.

The development is unfortunately true. It will hopefully be decades before the totally cashless society emerges. Money is power. And whoever has total control of the money has the power. Without cash, the power structure then shifts to a few selected institutions.

It already is....Blackrock, Vanguard etc

This is a problem, is 'crypto' a currency or an investment? The two are not the same.

 

A currency is something you use day to day, you get paid with it and you in turn use it to pay your bills and buy goods and services. For that you need stability, you salary should have a similar value at month end as it did at the start. This allows you to effectively budget and manage your finances.

 

An investment is different, it's something you buy and hold in the expectation of making a profit when you eventually sell.

 

Until crypto actually behaves like a currency it can't be one.

 

 

The term currency is used because the "coins" power the ecosystem and are used/burned to facilitate transactions.

I don't believe any crypto will become a usable currency but some will be used as a medium of exchange.

Realy? the US is not crazy about a currency that could if successful replace the dollar  as the world bussiness currency,  and make transactions difficult to trace, regulate, and tax? 

I cant believe that,must be fake news. 

You have no idea what your talking about! All transactions on the blockchain are traceable.

FYI Fiat is responsible for trafficking l, drugs and all manner of nefarious activities and it not tractable

"but a few cryptos have utility which we will see come to fruition -and rot- in the next few years" in MY opinion!

Up to you as they say here but it will happen!

Yeah give your money to the bank. It will be safe there????
