  1. How many lead-acid batteries can you get for 24 Billion Baht?
  2. For my own reasons I wouldn't mind to see UK going bust. But frankly these IMF figures say that there is a growth differential between UK and Germany of less than one percent and about 1.5% with France. Bid deal. But "chapeau" to US and their Geezer President.
  3. Can confirm, I have Cigna IPD&OPD for myself and my first child, premiums amount to 400k a year, of which I pay only 35%. Racked up 120k on OPD (MP/MRI Gastro/Coloscopy at Bumrungrad last week, no problem whatsoever. Happy Vegemite I am.
  4. Indeed, this guy belongs to the Generation X. I am a direct descendant of the Greatest generation.
  5. The orgasmic tension and subsequent release occurring during "collection" may damage wearable electronics.
  6. Doubt this would be easier than another "Thai Wife" extension. Unless you got divorced or separated. I always thought it easier to let the wife deal with IOs. Now I'll deal with BOI's people, who are normal.
  7. Not always a good idea. If you are in a hurry and at certain times it helps to know what to going rate is. Last week I was stuck at Suk. Soi 8 after a couple of Grabs that fell through. So I went to the reception asked them to call a taxi to Don Muang for a bit more then the Grab rate, and off I as with less than five minutes wait. So use Grab to know what your ride should cost. Of course this would never work in Phuket where the minimum ride was 200 Baht, and that as far as I can remember.
  8. No, Thailand is a destination that is totally focused on Sea Sun and Sex, hence boring. Europe and US have so much more to offer to tourists, for a lower cost.
  9. Never sure about that "m" in the middle, but either way.
  10. How about home?
  11. For a decent holiday for two, I'd say a daily budget of 100 to 150 Euros for Hotels, food would be about the same, transportation and entertainment as well, so 300 to 450 Euros a day. But you can spend a lot more if you wish.
  12. "Under the current narcotics law, possession of more than 15 methamphetamine pills is regarded as possession with intent to traffic and the penalties range from four years to life imprisonment and/or a fine from 400,000 to 5,000,000 baht. Those who possess fewer than 15 tablets are currently regarded as “patients”, and will be sent for rehabilitation." Which is quite lenient indeed, but unsurprisingly they got the wrong end of the stick; they should have introduced a mandatory death penalty for production and/or large scale transportation, etc.
  13. "the promised land", obvious polygamy, must be some Mormon.
  14. And no requirement for any funds to be transferred to or frozen in Thailand, you are free to live off your foreign credit card if you wish. Additionally any income transferred from abroad is officially tax exempt.
  15. They haven't worked out, yet, how to collect commissions on urine.
  16. Locking up children in temples is an abjection anyway. "Deranged monk" is a pleonasm.
  17. [Idiot tourist] visit Thailand year.
  18. And if you charge on French motorways the cost of energy for your EV will the same as Gazoline for an ICE.
  19. I don't this that would be the case as OP has a marriage extension. I got such extensions from jan 19 to Jan 22 and HI wasn't even mentioned.
  20. One has to understand that local police operate as a kind of security service, if you try to get their services for free it is highly unlikely they'll do anything. I have some kind of "red box" subscription, and pay some subsidies to their various social events. Costs me about 1000 Baht a month, very useful so far.
  21. I'd take a pee on the armchair myself, the last peër always wins. Can lead to a protracted conflict though.
  22. I it is the worst thing that can happen to the planet. Long haul flights for holidays must become a luxury if we are serious about our survival. Governments should come up with powerful incentives for holiday destinations that can be travelled to by train.
  23. It isn't a republic. I'll you decide what the best designation should be.
