One must be insane to invest 500K in government bonds, that is not a solution for the rich but for the insane. Elite visa would suit way better, after merely 1 year in poor yearly returns you would have paid 5 years of the Elite visa already, 2-3 years for 20 Elite visa years.

USB3 ports on a laptop are usually attached to the motherboard, that means entire motherboard replacement + battery + keyboard + screen issues. Doubt that is worth it VS buying a new laptop. You could still use the old laptop as a computer for with the TV or a monitor too.

Finally an answer why my LM green small 60B cigarettes were out of stock all the time.

Most likely cheaper to get a new laptop instead. You would need model specific type parts for this job, easy to do yourself if ordering online tho.

Only now I realize how much I miss our quality tourists, not making a joke too, life was fun with these figures around.

It doesn't really matter if you are a teacher or not, in any case you get tested positive you are locked up in a hospital. I have a friend who is in it now for more than a week already even he had just few symptoms for 2 days. But yeah if they are gonna test you constantly that is quite risky VS the pay hehe, I would insist the school I teach at covers me on that or get an insurance to cover it. There is some choice in pricing but it is certainly true that this can easily set one back 100-150K baht (and that is in case of mild symptoms).

If they only took those revenues into account, they must be clueless. I still suspect we indirectly fund the agriculture business by half 555

You could still get a debit credit card right, then you deposit like a amount of choice and you can at least use the same functionalities. That is the only thing they ever offered me here.

I think we should not be to fast drawing conclusions, he might still walk free assuming they play fair and won't find anything. If he doesn't walk free I am quite concerned what to do myself if someone breaks in.

Not to mention how it goes in Africa with mining the resources, using children and chemicals that cause new problems while we still have plenty of oil.

I could imagine them staying away from it at a certain age, certainly if you are also a foreigner in Thailand. Quite a high risk if they can't go after property or family easily.

I am starting to become crazy I guess, every day there is some kind of post with what they think to achieve or focus on, they still do not get a single thing right either. It is just hopeless at this point.

Chiang Mai isn't that backwards in terms of that, except the immigration there. They are quite easy going, many people fly up there recently without any issues, they just did the antigen tests on arrival and done 10 mins later.

They could tell him they found some drugs and that he now needs to pay X amount to walk away from it. But doubt they are that bad in Udon.

Lol I think it be wiser to just move the car somewhere higher up and safe? Else you should buy a 4x4

You can do a test on arrival or do one beforehand and travel to CM if flying. Doubt car is an issue with a similar test too, as long it is recent they are usually happy already. I'd just get something written in Thai language that briefly explains your situation, usually the Thais bend rules for those kind of family things.

Perhaps the Thai guy actually wasted the 300K and his family was asking for it, so he figured to rob a likely rich Swiss man. But as said before in the comments, so if the Swiss actually has 400K cash in a safe, they then conclude it's from that guy? Like a robber coming to your house with 300K lol, to then lose while being armed and die.

If they prefer working in a factory for 6000 baht, they are more than welcome in many places ????

Let me guess, soon most can't get babies anymore or find out 10 years from now, when it is too late?

Bailbonds - Patty Mayo (love the stupidity of figures in there when Im bored AF, the last guy got tased in the back of his head, americans lol)

Most will likely take the shower but nobody mentions the peeing part.

You are a slow learner then, as there are plenty of ways to avoid it, that was what I meant with street smart.

The entire country was watching TV and looking out for the guy, and he then went to soi nana in Bangkok, it doesn't get much easier.

Not sure with the Topic Starter but have to disagree with him on many ends for Pattaya in this example: If you have like 1K baht daily left to spend, your life is not limited at all. Prior covid you could easily find both farang and western foods under or up to a 100 baht and when combining that with some street food for 40B average as well perhaps sometimes doing breakfast at home, this barely touches your budget. Then in terms of entertainment, there is loads of things you can do without spending a lot. You can travel with the baht bus within the city, you can get minivans from 100B to most places or to BKK and with another minivan from BKK to places like Kanchanaburi with 100B. Movies can be seen from 100B too on the wednesdays or with the various promotions that are around. You could do a luxury hotel buffet from time to time when they have the 200 baht promotions (you can eat breakfast, lunch at once + do various coffees and deserts). If you have all the time, you can sure find a girl who is kind of in between and might give you long time for 1K baht too. You have to be creative and learn the local ways, then there is plenty options. Time is on your side too so no need to take the fast and easy results. Last but not least, I guess i recommend single too but in case you just find a normal lady of not too far of his age, who has a simple office job, they make 15K themselves too, so you wouldn't have costs of girls at all neither having to support that lady. She might even cook. ----- I personally live within that average budget of 1K daily, as all the other K's go to my family / child, fixed rental costs or savings. Certainly not boring or too little, maybe 1.5K sometimes. I eat foreign food daily, i drink 3 coffees daily, go out for some drinks a few times a week etc. But yes, if you want to do party hardcore life like I also did before, even 5K a day is not a lot. I guess just when you are new, you need a few hundred K to first do the crazy stuff once, to learn the lessons and having been there / done that. And not live next to A spot tourist area might help too.
