WELL, sir, there is no quarantine yet for travellers within thailand

he says the quarantine in bkk 14 days for 114k baht in a hotel before he can go to surgery is the reason he dont get it done yet

as far as i know it is in his province, he wanted me to come over but the whole quarantine thing ended the idea

Because of all the things that have not already happened. Since some of them likely will in future.

 

 

with my injuries, the only fitting place is elderly home or intensive care, and once i got myself in either, i wont be needing insurance

Sad story but again another one "stranded" in Thailand, begging to get home. No medical insurance? Or not covered? Doesn't really say. Seems a lot of people who live overseas particularly in SEA have no real interest in their well being.

 I can understand older people who just can't get insured which is rubbish  and short term stayers who veer clear of travel insurance as there is so many things it doesn't cover but to live overseas and not have the best private health cover you can afford is insane. I don't know if that's the case here neither article provides much info about the accident or his hospital stay. Thankfully he is now with family and friends.

i have old injuries, any insurance i take wont be covering those that already happened, why on earth would i take an insurance

Perhaps he  gives to charity.

i strongly suspect he counts buying condo/house/car as spending, and skipped on resale value

Transfers in home cuurrency give you a much better exchange rate.

thanks, i had forgotten. my home bank had changed the entire site,

i started to experiment with 1000 baht transfer to see if it works and got surprised i couldnt see any tangible

increase in my thai bank account, i figured with this <deleted> value i might as well use ATM

when transferring from home account to thai account, should i transfer in home currency or thai currency ?

a friend of mine wants to go to bkk for cancer surgery,

but the demand on 14 days of quarantine in bkk

before he can go to the hospital at the cost of over 100k

has made him postpone the surgery

no it really isnt, you probably count investment,

but in pure consumption you have no choice

but to get drunk in gogo every night and spend

at least half in tipping to reach that consumption

I can look after myself and don't care if you can spot me or not. I am the one that will spot you when you are heading for me and I can then take evasive action. It's the same principle as walking facing traffic. Perhaps not for everyone but it has saved me a couple of times.

if it comes to it, you cant evade, either,

i was cut by a car, there was no time to react, period,

she wouldnt have cut me if she had seen me, but alas

i write it down on notepad in a usb when i create a password,

then i unplug the usb and only insert it temporarily

when i need the password, but normally i login with my phone nr

Hobby? Hmmm

But  you  could maybe  generate some  excitement  by trenching mystical bird figures and giant mosquito patterns across the plains creating fascination from gullible facebookiz?

i mean, hobby as in, the employer doesnt require you to have it to get hired

Not  quite  straight ! lol

The boom ( arm) is offset to one side allowing straight line trenching even up against such as a wall.

ah, ok, doesnt sound like worth investing in for a hobby

My machine have the offset boom, which allow you to work very close to fence or a wall. Believe it’s worthwhile considering this when buying a machine 

what is an offset boom ?

My apologies. When I ride a bicycle in Thailand, I ride on the right side so I can see who's trying to run me down. So far, never got stopped by police. But I will gladly pay the fine if caught.

you are difficult to spot, and doubly so when you come from a completely unexpected direction.

its not really ticket you should worry about,

its being run down by someone who never saw you coming. many bicyclists then double down on not having any light on,

things would help if you have it switched on at all times, both front and end,

and even better yet another light that flashes like an ambulance, alerting everyone in the surrounding about the hazard

bicyclists has a scary habit of driving the wrong way,

and they are even harder to spot than a motorcycle

they look neat, and i like it how you can buy a trailer

and shuffle it around with a pickup,

but labor is cheap here and truth is you would pretty quickly run out of things to do with it lest others can call you for work which you cant do as foreigner anyway.

compared to forest harvest machines excavators are dependable and dont break down even a fraction as much

stay far away from a vehicle with shady book.

i bought one and the hustler

assured it was legal book,

turns out it wasnt so i couldnt sell it, and when i wanted refund i got 1/3 back
