She was at the airport ready to fly out.

We live in one of the high rise buildings seen on the news with their rooftop pools being emptied over the sides. We were told by the agent that we can either move out and lose our deposit of 2 months rent, or accept a decrease in monthly rent and stay on. After the initial panic and wanting to immediately move out, my Thai wife realised it will be really hard work to pack up, find a new place and make the move. So we will stay on and negotiate a lower rent. Laziness and saving money wins out over perceived personal safety.

The list is not even in any order, alphabetic or by tariff value, just like Trumps brain... random.

Perhaps they lost their....

I hate to say this but I agree with you. China does seem to be the lessor of two evils for the moment.

Those bridges seem to be relatively lightweight add-on construction, not reinforced concrete or part of the main structure. I suspect they would be fairly easy to repair and not an indication of the integrity of the rest of the buildings.

Rally? Do you think China can be trusted?

We don't all want to live in a village in the back of Nakhon Nowhere.

So my wife has to reduce from 16 hours a day to 12 perhaps?

They did not get a 10 year sentence. He got 8 and she got 2. Adding up the sentences of two people is misleading.

The bridges between the towers should be on rollers similar to what they do with large bridges over rivers to allow for expansion.

That always works with mine. I call it foreplay.

As soon as I see any post about some Brit that got in trouble, especially if there is a hospital bed photo attached, I guarantee there is a GoFundMe link in the final paragraph. Usually they involve motorbike accidents but this one is a little more creative. I wonder if the story was AI generated.

That would have to be one of the worst sob stories I have ever read. Is English her first language? Sounds more like a scam to me.

I was 100% expecting this in the final paragraph. Not disappointed at all. 🤣

I better start using the stairs from now on. Imagine how much exercise I will be getting since I live on the 19th floor.

I always carry the details of my travel insurance in my wallet, including name of the company and how to make a claim in an emergency.

I do hope he recovers fully.

I would talk to Bangkok Pat because he is an interesting and friendly guy, but I would not go on camera because I value my privacy.

Here is a perfect example of the thin skin Spidermike007 was talking about.

There will be a mandatory GoFundMe link soon.

She might have to remove her arm and leave it behind at Customs.

There might be a increased reliance on Travel Agents once again for travelers who have no online access. The last time I used a Travel Agent was in 2013.

I will donate my Nobel Prize money to support the Thai Baht whichever way it chooses to go.

I predict that the Thai Baht will either strengthen or weaken in the near future. There is also the possibility it will remain the same.
