    Elder care at home

    I don't know what you are talking about but 6 foot 1 is like 181cm or something. With 68kg is around 21 BMI score, entirely normal. Between 18.5-24.9 it is normal. That many people nowadays are always near the 24.9 or even above it, is another thing, and those people in fact are (likely) unhealthier. Not the ones who keep it on the skinnier side of the scale. I yet have to meet skinnier people who have low energy, medical issues and so on and on, they are always energised and rarely sick. Compared to the ones who are heavier, 60/40 have something.
  2. I'm sure it does, you just never got to the level to see it exist. Those people leave being told they have a 'transfer' to outside prison, I mean seriously, where does Premchai even stay? Did anyone even see him in jail once?
  3. Serving time as far we know AKA he goes down to a tunnel inside the prison and into some luxury penthouse elsewhere.
  4. There is a good reason for that, just look up photos of burn marks from people wearing a seatbelt without shirt.
  5. I know someone on the islands doing this, needed to go to Chiang Mai the first time and now has lessons on a saturday via Zoom. They also have some homework and really need to attend that. Costs were near 70,000 baht, not cheap, but a legit solution.
  6. It's not really a fixed place or a place with a name, you just have to drive along and find places. When we used to live in sansai there was a local food seller who did it 3-4 times a week, it was very inexpensive and she sold it together with sticky rice and the nice sauces. Best chicken ever! IMO boycot any chain places as much as possible. People who always eat that do not even know anymore what the real taste of food is like. I guess if you brush your thai for the food, or you let someone write it down for you with a picture on your phone, and ask local places and people, you know soon enough!
  7. Can't compare to that, that is people who already live a western luxury life. It's poor people who claim it is better if you earn it, that makes them feel better to not having achieved getting it.

    Still relative, many people in good health that get 80, have worked their entire life until like 65-70 too. VS a person who picked the Rock N Rolla life, and has been doing nothing but enjoying life since the hippie days, to then end at 55-60 age. The Rock N Rolla for sure had way more sex, fun etc in life compared to the boring worker who brought his sandwich to work all those decades. Last but not least, the older you get, the more dependent you become too, or you even get things like dimentia as the OP mentions. I'd rather continue my rock n roll life and avoid that all together, having had no regrets and 30X more experiences.
  9. A matter of time before prices come down, it is already happening in various places, Chiang Mai too. Worldwide in fact, we can expect prices to come down sooner or later, a financial crisis can not be avoided long anymore. Everyone told me to rush a few years ago while I now get the same for 30% less already, or the same prices but much more land / extra living space and bedroom. You would be more wise to invest the money in gold 3-5 years, and do everything at once.
  10. Maybe you should clean your online identity, I never get spam emails at all. I'v they signed me up on newsletters I also right away deal with it by clicking the unsubscribe links. Always use alias email for fun accounts etc too.
  11. Yes it is all the same. They also let Chinese sell to all SE asian countries while we can only sell in our own country, or need to have an actual bank account / address etc etc in the other countries to be able and do it.
  12. There is no two camps at all, it is good for both.
  13. You must be a joker right, the 20-year average return alone has been 8.65%, to not even speak of the returns you would get when money crashes, which is the sooner or the later. Perhaps you confused remembering it right and the word gold was cash and the word buying a savings account. That is indeed a good way to be losing money.
  14. Not if it was a licensed gun, seems he didn't actually point it either, neither threatened to shoot him.
  15. Ehh those cars are like 3.8-5M baht, if a Mercedes and BMW is called posh, this one is too.
  16. Guess he planned going away for a while, sell the car off for cash, seeing the bag he had with him too.
  17. If you get offered to be cut in front of the line for 1000 baht, it is worth doing it. It usually comes with a bottle of water an a umbrella to borrow. If you do go on a monday: Expect hell. I guess I will bring some tiny foldable fishing chair next time together with a drinking bottle to keep 3 coffees in, and a sandwich, and then just sit out there being number 1 from 6AM.
  18. I guess that was also what happened to me on a thursday. Was full with minivan russian / ukrainian / gypsy types. I guess the 'secret' really is to try and go there on a wednesday.
  19. I think we could find some middle way here, that solves a problem right away. Soi dogs given to Satan sculpture = Everyone happy. Just as real buddhism as requesting good luck, money etc (should not).
  20. I don't have a specific price range but I can get proper indoor for 200-250 per gram normally buying 10-20 grams at the time. This weed is sold at reasonable shops for around 500-600 per gram but at many more even for up to 700-800. Usually spend 7-10K a month but not long anymore as I am growing enough now, tired of not being able to get more range of indoor at a proper price. I can even sell the quality I grow to a friend's shop.
  21. Using a VPN is not actually hiding you, there is a lot more data that still reveals it is you. Anyway the OP can just install AdBlock extension for the browser he uses, then the popup likely stops entirely.
  22. Maybe they just were in a rush same as gold robbers, or didn't know there would be more drawers inside lol. Maybe the 400k was the leftover of the withdrawals so far, in top drawer. But pretty sure they slammed their heads against the wall when reading that. Would basically be a retirement for both of them assuming 7-8% returns per year (on gold).
  23. The typical weed that looks good but has like zero taste or effect, in my experience, for those prices. Got excited more than 5 times by now to only cry upon delivery when testing it.
  24. What is the logic even, one could have a good jobs but no savings after coming out a divorce, or be married or get children at a very young age, like myself. Then still, even having the money, I did not want to exchange it in the past few years, happy I did not. Would costed me near 12000 euro at the time which today is already down to 10.250 euro + I earned 8-12% yearly on it. That is a total of 5600 euro more or less, I made, while now still being able to exchange it. My agent fees over 3 years were +- 2200 euro. I did not even include interest on previous returns in this calculation. If I keep snowballing the difference, on my age, by the time I get 50-60 years old, the total balance is 5X the original amount. If I do that with 5X 10K euro, we suddenly talk 250-300K. Also where does you ignorance come from, some of us might also be from eastern european countries, or even Italy, where 700 euro income a month can be normal. In that case 400K baht is a lot of money, knowing you can barely save up on that.
  25. Ehh let us guess, he could be early retired or working online? You know, with the Internet? Perhaps that's why he carries his little laptop bag too on the picture.
