Go ahead, what is your point? What does it have to do with the recommendation I made for a supplier of gold bullion?

Why go to the trouble of replying when this is your opening response is this stupid? The rest was appropriately ignored.

It's not my position to know what Lazada drivers should or should not do. You're making this up. Show me a warning on Lazada when you select "cash on delivery" that under no circumstances can I view the item I ordered. It's not my concern. It's to save me the trouble of having to make claims and go to the trouble of sending items back, not to mention waiting for a refund to my card that can take some time. They make a lot of mistakes, and this is the reason why I now prefer cash on delivery. If you want to do it the hard way, be my guest. Anyone reading your replies might think you're working for Lazada.

The answer to the question is yes, as long as you live in an area heavily populated by foreigners. I would not want to live in a Thai village in some rural area. You need to be in an area where the Thais are familiar with foreigners and you can at least get by with English. It's Pattaya and nowhere else for me. In Pattaya, you're seen as a tourist, even if you're an expat. That's fine by me.

I don't know about booze, but getting indigetion from chocolate and oats is rough. I would have considered those foods the least likely to cause it. I used to get indigestion frequently when I was younger, but since I started drinking a glass of home made kefir everyday, I can now eat anything. The solution is to balance your intestinal flora by consuming probiotics. On a very rare occasion when my food hasn't digested well or I ate something not quite right, a glass of kefir fixes it up fast.

As long as you hide it well, what's the problem? Burying it is a good idea and better than a home safe. No one should know you have it. Having a gun is more likely to get you killed as the people coming after it will also be armed. If you don't have a gun, they may not shoot you, but if you do have one, it's nearly a guarantee.

I like a tight trading range as I scalp it. It's when it shoots $50 - $100 and more I'm in trouble. It can be very stressful.

in my place, that would cost about 75 baht LOL. About 55 for the eggs and 20 for the bread. Extra if I want butter on my toast. I've eaten 6 eggs for breakfast many times, but never 10.

Is it possible to change from retirement to Ed visa?

I suppose the only advantage is that gold in a safe is like cash in a safe - ready for immediate sale. In Thailand you can sell it everywhere, and there's no ID requirements to buy and sell it.

Yet, if you have bought gold in a bit earlier in October 2013 you would have lost money (taking into consideration inflation). Did you factor inflation into your calculations? Can gold drop low again? It took a big dive in February 2020 after the stock market crashed 30%, so it can happen again. I agree that if you need to store a lot of gold, one needs a very secure deposit box. A gun pointed at your head is an easy key for home safes. You have to hide your safe too.

Investment is always about gaining profit, and profit ultimately equals income, even over a long time frame. If you sold an asset for a "big payout" after 10 years, that's income. You have a more limited definitiion of what constitutes income... and that's why I changed the word to "profit" to avoid confusion. Gold is a non-income (profit) producing asset. It's not an investment which produces profit. In good times people sell it to put their money into income (profit) producing assets. In bad times they buy it to protect against purchasing power loss or permanent loss. If you buy a truck load of gold, hoping it will gain value, that's not investment, but speculation. In real terms (adjusted for inflation) gold today is close to the value of it in 1720. It reached a peak of $3045 back in 1980, and now it's hovering around $1800. I wish you good luck and hope your gold will reach over $3000 in the near future. Many predict this. I'm not arguing that buying gold is a bad idea. If I had a lot of spare cash I would buy a lot more. I do trade gold on margin through brokers, but don't own much physical gold.

Sorry for confusing you. Please replace "income" with "profit", as that is what investment is. You could have thanked me for the info instead of trying to start an argument about what is an investment or not. I did make an effort to send you useful info.

The best way to buy gold in Thailand is in 96.5% bars. You can see here the selection available. GCap produces 1 baht bars too and they should be available in most gold shops... or you could order them online. The local gold shops will likely only have the small denominations. https://www.gcap.co.th/gcapgold/productgold965.php It's not really an investment as it doesn't return any income... it's a safe haven asset that will sit in your safe until needed. A lot of fiancial advisors are suggesting the price will skyrocket soon. Soon was 2020, then 2021, and we're still waiting.

Chill out dude. Leave the moderation for the moderators. I don't require your permission to post here. As long as I'm on topic, I'll post if I wish, no matter how much it might upset you. My point was valid. You don't go to a 5* buffet to eat eggs and toast.

I don't wear a mask when walking in the park for exercise. The reason should be obvious. I prefer not to rebreathe CO2 and water vapour when I'm huffing and puffing. BUT, the decision was made after observing that most Thai people exercising in the park also don't wear masks. It's good to know I'm in sensible company. The park ranger doesn't mind either.

It's not new at all. I've received OTPs to my phone when making purchases with my K-Bank debit card for as long as I can remember... however it depended on the merchant. I did not get a OTP last time I used Lazada. I made iHerb purchases online this month, and no OTP was needed and that's using the card internationally. Banks move in mysterious ways LOL.

It's "open it, then pay if you like" when I do cash on delivery. Lazada make too many mistakes these days, and it saves time going through a return process which requires time and effort, including a trip to the post office. If you're too shy to take a peek, that's your prerogative.

And he shot him in the stomach, so it is likely he didn't want to kill him.

He was specifically asking about unlimited toast and eggs. Quality would not be a big consideration for toast and eggs. Paying for a quality buffet to eat toast and eggs would be a waste of money.

Why would you have the mask pulled down when you are stopped at a checkpoint? You would have had plenty of time to slip it over your nose. That's the one time you would expect everyone to mask up.

Cash on delivery is the best option anyway. If there's something wrong with the goods (broken/wrong product etc), you just refuse it when it arrives. I've had broken items delivered on several occossions. One was a fan blade that you could feel and even hear it was broken through the packaging. You'd have to wonder why any delivery service would deliver an obviously broken item when they are the ones that broke it in the first place.

It's the "deepest, darkest" window tints which prevents enforcement of such a rule. You can't see most car occupants in most cars from the outside, and if they were flagged down, they'd quickly put them on.

Only my opinion? That's nonsense, but due to censorship the other side is seldom heard. Stop goading me to provide scientific evidence, of which I have plenty, as you know it cannot be posted here. It remains a one-sided conversation. And you know for a fact that there is no medical basis for harm to performance? It has been tested on high performance athletes the level of Novak? I doubt any athletes at Novak's level would submit to laboratory tests and there are very few people on the planet at Novak's level. Then of course, there's still long term effects that will take years to determine as the vax program was rushed. Everyone knows this, yet everyone ignores it. Let's all just be good little sheeple, and stand in line for a jab or two, or three, or four...

There's more to not-vaxxing than being a political mouthpiece. The truth about vaxxing is a taboo subject which is strictly censored, so we won't go there. There would be serious health concerns by very healthy people, and Novak would be in the percentile of healthy individuals. At his level, every percentile of virility will be crucial to his performance. He was already postive for covid, but if not for the test, he would not have known.... that's how powerful his immune system is. It doesn't matter if Nadal vaxxes or not. He can always blame injuries for bad performance.
