  1. What is fair or not fair totally depends on where you are, who you teach and sell it to. Some teachers think 35K a month is the standard, and it likely is at a public school. Just depends on your clients right. I used to always think I should charge less as I worked remotely and my clients were in Europe, that just shot myself in the feet for years as it was just my subjective view. Clients are happy to pay me as much as home, as long they get the good quality / service.
  2. No he is just a murderer right, he can be released in 5 years to do the same again with relates of the deceased. But if he was using some ketamine and had 20 XTC pills, you can be assured he is gone for 10-15 years.
  3. Girl on dating site: ''I am looking for a nice decent guy who not talk about sex all the time'' Foreigner: ''Starts talking, let's meet up'' Girl on dating site: ''You can meet me at friends bar *gogo*, I only do PR"
  4. Not at all, it is more populair within Thai to Thai business than it is with foreigners. In chonburi there are even places for (older) thai ladies with money to be entertained by six pack model Thai boys. But in the foreign scene yeah, often they get a old guy first, he dies, they now are loaded and then take a toy boy (not uncommon to see a failure younger farang getting big bucks just hanging around).
  5. After 10 drinks telling you she want to go together, you paid a 1000 barfine and 5K short time at the first time in the gogo. You end up back in the room, to then get to hear exactly that sentence lol.
  6. Money isn't put in your account, they just link an existing savings account to your opened bank account only. Once the visa is issued it was the IO who is gonna hang for it, not the people, works like that since decades.
  7. Exactly this, when I used the agent for my yearly extensions he would always take one for me. I never visited immigration. I was attempting to do it myself from now on, but so far, I already hate to be back in that paper and waiting game. Not to mention the new vaccine arrival nonsense (I was thinking to do some holidays again since years, cancelled already). Likely gonna pay my original 30-35K fees again and get it sorted remotely.
  8. I don't call anything decent for that money + usually it either breaks or the battery is a mess within half a year with the amount Thais use it. Would rather try to get a second hand iPhone in that case or even do a down payment + contract. I know contracts sucks but it could be paid for in 2 years while the phone lasts 3 years and still is worth 5K or more. I replaced my iPhone 11 battery now after 2.5 years daily use (work and private), as well the glass, for like 3K in total AAA parts, and it is like new and will last me another 2 years easily. All this for just 17K new today's price. Not to forget how amazing iphones work too.
  9. Replace might with will and else it's beers lol. But perhaps neuralink will be that advanced it can just trigger something in your brain to be like drugs.
  10. Not reliable at all, you might get a whole different batch by the time you order #4 or #5. What is it with the anti-social buy online behavior anyway, first of all it is not legal to sell online and secondly you could just visit some shops in person, smell and try a few different kinds of weed and then just ask how much you can get right away + buy that. To me it is fun to visit the shops and see, there is often something new everywhere and I can get a coffee or coke + chill. And for the cheap outdoor weed lovers, you can actually visit various farms and make it a day trip too.
  11. I think it would be easier to find some good strong oil with your specific needs at any dispensary than it is to buy it as a edible. For a innocent big needle I guess can get at any pharmacy too, but you could also just do 1-3 drops on your tongue or inside your tea etc.
  12. 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.
  13. Buy gummy bears yourself and inject high potent oil yourself instead.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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?
