Computers and electronics. ..... A descent steak.

As long as you tip them handsomely. Immigration is not known to be helpful.

"Separately, expats are again reminded they should not ignore the separate bureaucracy of the TM30 form which confirms local address after returning to Thailand from abroad by land or sea. Expats will need to show an updated TM30 receipt (i.e. issued since the last entry to Thailand)" https://www.pattayamail.com/latestnews/news/90-days-immigration-report-now-needs-update-form-443917

Personally all my encounters with "bar ladies" has been pleasant. Most problems arise when a bar patron gets stupidly drunk. 20 years in Pattaya, the only problems I've had or seen are unruly falangs being bad actors.

I'll revisit buying an inverter air-con in the future. It would certainly be worth it to save on the PEA bills. What model are you using?

Funny.

Nope. Brand new Daikon's Inverters arent very effecient with high humidity. If it works for you great. In my experience they struggle to meet my comfort requirements during the hot and humid months. "a compressor running in short bursts cannot efficiently remove humidity from your home" https://quality-hc.com/blog/inverter-hvac/#:~:text=May Result in Higher Humidity,remove humidity from your home.

Ive had a few inverters, Daikon's. During the brutal high heat and humidity months they couldn't cope. I ended putting in regular Mitsubishi Mr. Slims. Despite the higher running costs I was happy that we had cool rooms throughout the year. Of course I had high hopes of saving some money with the inverters but in my case they just couldn't handle the extreme heat and humidity.

Interesting. In our area in Issan there is one nice guy that does practically every air conditioner installation for miles (kilometers). Hotels, Tesco's, residential, etc. There so cheap. 400 baht for cleaning. Mitsubishi has come out when we had a problem with one of our systems. It was under warranty so it was free. Turned out a snake had crawled into it somehow, weird. Mitsubishi Heavy or Mitsubishi have great products and service in my opinion.

Sounds like you'll need the repair the thermostat. They've got videos on YouTube. It's definitely not something I'd undertake. 11 years, that's good amount of time. Luckily a repair wouldn't be to expensive living on Thailand. Here's MHI user manual data base to find the part number. https://mhiaa.com.au/knowledge-centre/user-manuals/

Ultimately he'll want to control the tempature.

Why? There's no comparison. Odd

You've got a lot to learn about Thailand.

You don't know squat. Tourism is a huge driving force.

Any birthdate under 70 or use another airline. Cambodia is much more monger orientated than Vietnam. Great food, beautiful girls, nice hotels, cheap.... Cambodia would be my preferred destination over Vietnam.

Yup!

Nice to have the option, especially when your main revenue is from the tourist industry. They definitely don't make much from the conservative sector.

Opinion polls routinely have Anutin below the 3% approval threshold. He definitely shouldn't even be in the position he's in. He doesn't bother about opinion polls.

Are you Dan?

Russians aren't good for anything. Hopefully Thailand will eventually realize this and ban them outright.

I did that. After a week in Phnom Penh I was sad to leave. I had a blast. Great food, nice hotel, beautiful girls. It's a great way to get a tourist visa and have an adventure.

Interesting how the polls always seems to skew to whatever the "governments" agenda wants. Personally I've no faith in the polls conducted within Thailand.

Tested for both? I don't see that happening. Very expensive.

We always have that cunundrum when visiting Bangkok with our kids. We usually fork out for a nice Hotel along the river with a pool. Our daughter brings a friend and they keep an eye on the 4 year old boy. Honestly we spend about 3 nights and move on to Hua Hin where the kids can enjoy the beach. Funny, we usually end up at Terminal 21 because there isn't much to do for little children.

I enjoy both cities. If I were to have a condo in another city Id choose PP.
