  1. It is all relative. I would still rather drive myself than having to go on the same day and road with a Thai driver. As a passenger I would still be fked in a accident as well. I'm more nervous with the domestic flights than going by car, even that makes no sense in stats.
  2. Buy gummy bears yourself and inject high potent oil yourself instead.
  3. Just read the fisherman used the life jacket, anyway, 2 bodies could be from anything. Silly to right away scream drugs or money. I guess that is how most cases end up closed too soon.
  4. It's in full development world wide, there are multiple options including even a temporary tattoo or sticker that can measure this way. However it will still take time until we see this devices commercially, quite normal in the medical world, except with covid vaccins in a magic 6 months (oh no they developed since 2012 with that on HARPA). Anyway, there are like 400 million people with diabetes so a matter of time. The issue seems to be they want the same accuracy as currently is gotten using blood samples. Give it a few more years and it starts to pop-up for sure: Despite the many benefits, sweat sensing requires huge efforts to address the following key challenges and in establishing a reliable correlation to gold standard BG measurements.
  5. Depends where you are in the country, in the south they not do that bad. On for example phangan they also have nice new things like bacon packages for the breakfast at just 50 baht (i always end up throwing away the big size packs elsewhere). And even things like the european red bull, some coffee and other things is actually 5-10 baht cheaper there compared to the 7/11 too. Also I like it there, it feels still more like a super market, 7/11 offers way too much and it hurts restaurants etc too. They now even start doing the pizza oven thing on the island in 711, nobody buys a meal anymore, just coconuts and water.
  6. So the OP would say nothing if they drank 8 beers from 4PM, but to start from 10AM and stop by 6PM with the same amount is bad.
  7. It is not about software or technology, it is about bureaucracy, politics, costs, laws and enforcement. Same reason they still have XX,XXX accountant graduates per year here. They can simply track you on the phone numbers, this is why they now require ID and limit it to 5 sim cards per carrier. For real things they have pegasus, one blank sms can penetrate (imagine how many spam sms we receive on thai sims). Normal levels, where you usually always remain, deal with low tech.
  8. Yeah true, in theory they could even use the face recognisation from all the public CCTV and malls in Thailand, and realtime get a notification if the visa status is in overstay. This is how life looks in around 10-15 years from now.
  9. The photo scared the <deleted> out of me, the police on the right (younger one) looks identical to my brother in law. But he is army lol.
  10. Actually they have apps on their smartphones to even check for that nowadays, so the car is not needed. That's how they often check during nightclub raids too, never seen BMW.
  11. So what exactly has the smart car to do with this by the way? They found her at her house? So they had intel already.
  12. Would be great if the chinese tourists now come back, as immigration and government seem to have turned victims from being western foreigners to asians and chinese lol.
  13. The lease you bring with you, that you need, should be in the same area where you try. Next you will say, you want to open a account because you need to deposit the 400,000 baht to prepare for the 1 year non-o visa with your soon to be wife or child. Bring a Thai with you that speaks and looks decent, makes it easier for the staff too if not fluent in english. Could be some agent too as written above. True too, that sometimes then you need to buy a small insurance as written above.
  14. In europe you get 100% refund if delay 4 hours, so actually it is even better there. I flew on budget airlines from germany to thailand 3 times, twice with such delays, FREE! In terms of Viet air, they gave them 500 baht vouchers, food, meals and a free hotel + flight. I guess that actually equals the cost, as it is a domestic flight, so equal good?
  15. I stopped liking to fly in Thailand since covid started, I avoid it now where possible. Also because I fear the airplanes are getting older and not trusting the maintenance. Yeah I know it is silly, the roads are more dangerous. But still stopped liking it, maybe it is also the lengthy process, silly security checks and endless waiting.
  16. Plenty of work in China, just by doing it online and remote. But yeah these lazy people of today expect work to come to them, as if the world owes you. Work for it and results are next.
  17. My economy teacher said I have to work until 70 too and there is no way to not pay tax in this world. BTW, he asked a question, because he is curious and thought the landing is fake, which many scientists do. He states clearly he not think earth is flat. It's people like you, that actually can hurt a child or teenager their development and life, because you would limit all possibilities and judge others without reading.
  18. If you ask me that building actually looks very decent, with aircons and a luxury basketbal thing.
  19. Not sure how this made the news, on phangan we do this 3 times a week.
  20. Yes let's blame it on the fact he has 3 houses, what the hell do you know man? Maybe his retirement is in the 2 other houses that he used to earn rental on before covid. If that is your actual argument, you might have to look at 20 families owning 70% ? Poor people never use their brains, no matter where they from. Foreigners even more than Thais. Just say whatever, without thinking. If he had said, I had one house robbed and lost 1M baht, you said nothing.
  21. Not buying into the story, just had a friend there 2 days ago and it was a breeze. Just not for some Russians.
  22. What do you mean with charge you 3500 baht? As the round way tours in minivans from most southern areas always been 3-3.5K.
  23. Just got a friend on phangan taking the sadao border one I believe, he said it was in and out in 1 hour. But same story 99% is russians on his trip, he was the only other.
  24. What are you even trying to say, the 5 figure was backdated, aside of that, the cost of living was high in the west 10 years ago too. They also increased minimum wage here, before the 30-40K was normal, plenty would do it for as little as 20K. Many still do it for 25K without a work permit. But they have hustles on the side too.
