  1. Seven seas was mentioned above. I've used them before for work when moving country. Not cheap but they deliver boxes or crates, you can pack and they handle everything
  2. It's a crazy idea, it's not just data but debt held by lenders. What happens to the stability of the banking sector if debt obligations are negated ? At a time of financial turmoil these institutions could become insolvent and then bail in laws would have to be used.
  3. I was a developer on a big data smart cities project in wellington a few years ago. I don't see how it benefits the people because it is mainly about monitoring and data gathering. People, vehicles, crime, electric vehicles, parking, roads. For instance highly accurate people counting cameras enclose a space so real time crowd monitoring is possible. Add mach address monitoring and to that you can monitor people moving from space to space. Then add economic models ( for events ) which many western cities seem to have. Then city income , from say an event, can be estimated in real time.
  4. I wasn't thinking about hacking and crime as much as bailing laws and banking failure. Multiple countries , multiple banks. Spreads risk.
  5. I bought at big c extra pattaya 3. 179 baht for a firm polyester pillow. I was going down the row squeezing all the pillows and the shop assistant saw me and gave a very good purchase suggestion.
  6. Some of those win riders are really nuts. I took a win from central and the guy rode like he was at the track. I asked him to slow down and he laughed. So if you want win from central and they call the guys name, "odd odd odd" be careful. It seem like it's just 1 in 20 that is crazy.
  7. Hi I need to furnish a new condo and want to buy new pillows and pillow protectors. Any suggestions for location and price. Cheers

    Pattaya

    Yes botox and lip filler destroys the face and lips in my opinion. I don't mind silicon boobs if they aren't rock hard.

    Pattaya

    I love this place, sun/sea/good prices/women. I like the Thai people but so many of the women are messed up. Examples being drinking and addictions to cosmetic procedures. I recently dated a woman who could not afford food due to the cost of botox etc. Phew.

    Cargo Shorts

    Try Mike's mall , sea front side.
  11. I dated a woman here who ran a thriving sports shoe business on Facebook. She made the mistake of making an anti government statement and had her page shut down. What would happen with a "cbdc" coupled to a social policy. The aim for the new currencies is to be borderless. What ever that means in practise.
  12. And build a house on that land, to then have the law potentially scrapped or investment rules changed.
  13. Generally I don't have problems, I was just unlucky thst day. I thought the guy was taking a fast route on the main road. But it seemed any old big c would do. I don't speak enough Thai and he didn't speak English. My guess is he was having phone problems ..
  14. I use bolt all the time in Pattaya, generally I rarely have a bad driver. Today I had two , the first took me to the wrong big c (big c south pattaya instead of pattaya 3 extra. ) The second was stuck in traffic and complaining in thai about roads and "Union guarantees ". I didn't understand but I think he had a different location to the one shown on my bolt app. Maybe fuel prices are making bolt unworkable ??
  15. A mate used to swear by yoga retreats in chiang mai. Worth a try ?

    Baht bus prices

    Yes I know I use bolt and win taxi when traffic is bad. I just wonder at prices for these pickup taxi's.

    Baht bus prices

    I have not been on these buses in years. If I get on in jomtien and get off at say Central. How much do I pay ? I've heard 10 baht or is it 20 ?
  18. Water here in pattaya is cold in the mornings. Going from ambient temperatures of about 28c to that is a shock.
  19. Question - is it true that the funds to buy a condo ( as a foreigner ) must come from abroad ?
  20. Someone above said wise, useful because its possible to have multiple currency accounts.
  21. Im also using my Samsung galaxy and a hotspot for Internet access at the moment. What do you mean by carrier aggregation and channels ?
  22. Even the big breakfast with coffee included ?
  23. The first step is to admit there is a problem and want to change. Maybe give up the booze for a while and start an exercise regime.
  24. I was paying 10k / month at Arcadia. Now reduced to 8k.
