With the exception of sandflies, can find those other things just about anywhere.

It should be pretty straight forward. Google it if you can't figure it out.

There is no password required for tethering because only the device phsically plugged into the phone has access. The hotspot feature obviously does have a password. You use that if you want to connect more than one device or don't want to have the phone physically plugged into your laptop. Also comes in handy if the signal is weak. You can put the phone near areas of your room that may have better signal strength, like near windows or doors.

No, it's on my phone. I can just use that as a hot spot or tethered. I don't need a modem.

As above poster stated, it totally depends on your location and signal strength. I currently am getting 29Mbps down and 12 up. When I go to the mall near me I can get much faster than that.

Less touristy and lower prices. If you spend enough time in Pattaya you will find you want to stay away from tourist areas more and more. Especially during high season.

You can try spin it however you want, still sucks to be you.

Where do you get 1% from? There are small flat rate transaction fees yes, but they are very transparent about those.

Sucks to be you I guess. I didn't have that problem.

You are asking someone, who just wants to complain about everything for the sake of complaining, to actually apply logic and reason to their baseless argument.

That is not exactly accurate. All the gov't did was decriminalize marijuana. Selling marijuana for recreational use was never a part of that.

As long as you already have a prescription it's probably going to be cheaper buying them online. I buy them from eyebuydirect.com in the US. I am assuming there are online place in Thailand.

There are autoflower strains that will flower after about 3-4 months regardless of light. I know someone growing one on their balcony right now and it's doing quite well. Should start flowering pretty soon. Just look for anyone selling "autoflower" seeds or seedlings.

I've seen a few people around Pattaya wearing them. I assumed I could find them at Buakhao market, Mikes Mall, or Pattaya Night Bazaar market but I could not find them there. I will ask the person next time I see someone wearing one. Does anyone know where to get them in Pattaya? I've seen a few variations but I want the one that looks similar to the image below. Note the spacing between leaves. I found other variations around town but I want this one. The image below is not what I want. I did find that one for sale in a clothes booth in front of Central Festival, but I am not interested in that variation. There are a few different variations and color schemes. I've seen light background and black/dark background. I have seen green background/leaf, blue background/leaf, black background etc. I like all those as long is it's similar leaf pattern as the top image. Not like the image at the bottom which is too busy looking imo.

I can certainly agree with the "guess" part. ????

Yes it is. I walk around every day seeing stuff growing on the side of the soi's all over the place just like any other plant. Probably with very little care and attention. There is a reason it's called "weed". I also know people growing stuff on their balconies without much difficulty. There are certain strains that are more well adapted to Thailands climate and those are the ones that should be grown outdoors. For outdoor growing in Thailand with minimal effort I would recommend an autoflower strain. Google should be able to help with that. People selling seeds should be of some help as well.

I've seen Green Crack for as low as 450b/50g online.

Except the unhealthy ones tend to spend their later years in misery with chronic health conditions, so best of luck with that. Ask anyone who has watched what happens to their diabetic parents in their final years like I have. Diabetes is no joke and gets more unfunny the older you are.

Nonsense. They never go that fast. ????

You can just go to the mom & pop stores in the back alleys. They will still sell booze to you.

I decided that if I am going to retire in Thailand I need to learn to speak Thai. I have gotten away without knowing much for many years of visiting. It's just a personal goal I have set myself if I am going to live here and gives me something to do. I will be living in Pattaya. Anyone know of a good school, one on one teacher or other method? I am also looking for app and online suggestions.

In this day and age I don't understand why anyone would use a local phone company to make long distance calls. I call the US/Canada quite often, talk for hours, sometimes on hold for hours, and I pay absolutely nothing. I use Google Voice and it works great. A service like Skype is a little easier to set up if you don't have a US cell phone number and very cheap. Lots and lots of other VoIP services as well. Paying the phone company maybe 10x more (at a minimum) or trying to get around it making collect calls is just nuts in 2022.

So I finally went to BIDH for consultation on IV sedation. They were very professional and the dentists seemed quite competent, so no complaints there. I was all set to do it when I realized that the price they quoted me was only for the sedation part. It's way more expensive than in the west. Over 40k baht just for the sedation. The form said "IV sedation for foreigner". So I think I was getting overcharged just for being a foreigner as well. The dealbreaker was the fact they wanted me to get a bunch of tests at Bumrungrad to determine that I was medically fit for IV sedation. It may have been due to my age but I am not sure about that and they didn't really say that directly. I didn't need any tests in the west when I had it done last year. That would have cost at least another 3000b but that was only their estimate. It may have ended up being lot more with it being Bumrungrad and all. The price they quoted me just for the crown work I wanted done was quite reasonable though. Less than the quote I got in Canada. So I would say that place is probably a good option just for that without any IV sedation. They also offered the option of laughing gas. That may be all some people need if it's just for anxiety. My problem is that I have trouble getting fully frozen, the laughing gas doesn't help with that.
