No this is way better, you just donate a few hundred and get the rest for free

Should have a rain cover and mosquito screens in the first place, should not be a issue to leave the doors open. Aside of that still an AC too, I can't see the reason for the budget or cost being an issue there either. The room will not be a big one, so the AC cost is peanuts, and in terms of electric costs it is only used when having actual guests, during the rain season mainly, even if using it all the time 10 days a month, that barely is what, 500 baht a month.

Get a tourist visa and return via land border. Now you back in, forget about it.

Depends, if someone is 30 today that is not impossible.

Nonsense, depends totally where you live and go. People really always speak from their bubbles.

ATM's wont stop you, plenty of foreigners using 4 pin. Doubt however your card is still active after so many years since that changed lol.

Just get a dog, he will piss off soon enough. Or be smart like me, place a plastic container with a thai laminated sign 'Post here / wife number' outside, all our packages go in there without any conversation or calls now. When the dog gets aggressive tell the post man you want to play a game; who is faster you are your dog, and give him 10 seconds to leave first.

Tourism in the south is more than fine, it was even a problem to get a room on many island during last high season. Nothing even close applies to anywhere like Bangkok, Pattaya and Chiang Mai. Well even there are plenty tourists, just not the type we used to know. Should we even want more than 50% of the highest peak (40 million) again? Not either. So where are these classical tourists and backpackers we used to know? Vietnam and Bali. The only negative thing I see is that girl bars and nightlife became miserable in for example Chiang Mai, but actually this was already happening before covid, just took time to die. Outside of the party scene, as long there is western food available, I am happy to see less. I would go to Vietnam too i it was my first holidays or I am on a budget, Thailand isn't cheap at all and the service is also nothing was it used to be, that includes smiles etc.

As mentioned above, the data from before 70's not really count, if you look at the data before that, there is even one at around 1900. But yes, it are obviously patterns of hotter and colder periods, in longer history of earth. Climate change is real but natural, that's the entire game they abuse.

Yet they still have to break the record in 1976 in Netherlands, there isn't a trending line at all for it to be more significant hot / hot longer. Only thing that changed seems that we have more often a summer with 5 days in a row 25+ celcius and 2 days 30-32, as if anyone complains about that. They said in the news that we should not eat spicy food if it is too hot too. Thais laughing for sure.

To add: for marriage and child, the 400K also does not need to come from abroad, only need in bank 2 months, you can even borrow it from someone.

Ain't no top shelf for sure, even 50-100 grams that would still cost you 150-200 baht at least.

Shortages around suthep road and huay kaew road too but sometimes it comes in, I grabbed a 2L dark blue one last night. I easily drink up to 1L a day but sometimes none at all for 2-3 days too. Aside of milk I love orange juice which also sometimes have shortage (rarely can find the tipco shogun but otherwise love the sai nam pueng). Well at least they never run out of coffee here.

Second one who seems to think the color is artificial? Never seen o juice for real? Nature has many strong color foods.

To add some positivity to my negative comments: I used to buy these all the time during my first holiday to Thailand when taking the daily river boat in Bangkok. Still 10 baht after 10 years.

That is long and serious marketing, totally different, you might as well join the woke and cancel christmas as of coca cola then. I should be careful what i say, i have a track record of predicting what is next lol.

Yeah any girl could be from a bar too, who cares. Fake or real both suck.

Total nonsense post, topic starter wants to learn how to leave Thailand fast or in a body bag. At least that is how Thais eventually respond if you game them. If you think you are owed something and in your right so much, have fun wasting another 100k on legal fees in civil court. Or another 200k by defending yourself on criminal charges you could land with these ideas of damage. You lost, game over, next.

I believe science says that just 10 minutes a day is actually enough already, if possible during the early morning, look into the light (if sun too bright look next to it else bad too). Also seems to be the most effective for waking up your entire body and mind properly and giving a energy boost to start the day. Those ten minutes in the morning would not have a significant impact on tan too. Also it is known taking supplements isn't the same long-term, not a solution. Same issue with vegans etc.

I guess you have a problem reading again; as i said we can't plan relates to die do we.

What are you suggesting? That i take out the grannies when we know time is near anyway? So i can book upfront?

Yeah in August 17. Anything is cheaper if you book upfront, not looking for my 1/3 trips out of prison a year. I fly often and last minute or a week before I know it at most, this never was an issue but changed recently, luckily it is totally fine for BKK. Same for the wife and kid, that's 2 tickets one way, usually last minutes, with all these old people dying unexpectedly, or getting sick, or another wedding, or another person this and that.

I have lived in both Chiang Mai and Pattaya myself so I understand the TS his post. Chiang Mai for sure has a much more warm and safe feeling to it where people are all super sabai sabai. Pattaya is much more hardcore, if you not like that vibe, better to just go to Pattaya for holidays, I do the same for that reason.

Where was it not super hot during April this year? Even on the island I was dying.

It's getting expensive in general, for chiang mai khon kaen there is barely flights nowadays too and easily cost 2K one way... Bangkok still for 1K easily (dozens of flights).
