  1. There doesn't seem to be much punishment. They make more money than they (legally) have to pay. So such raids seem to be more of a nuisance. They have been raided before already. They don't care. And they are not alone...
  2. I use the browser version. I set it up more than 10 years ago in the US when I visited friends there. It is linked to a Gmail account. Don't use it much anymore. Google always reminds me to use it otherwise they will cancel it. Get calls (they are recorded so that they can leave messages) and can send free SMS (within the US) even when I am in Thailand. Calls to US numbers are free too. But I didn't use this for a long time. Never paid 1 Cent for anything.
  3. I have just returned from the dangerous outside world here in Central Pattaya. An elderly Farang couple on a motorcycle almost hit me at a crosswalk because they didn't care about the red light... They drove at high speed between the stopped cars. Speaking of masks. I see more and more people using them again. Why not? Would I complain about someone walking around with an umbrella? No.
  4. Try Google Voice. Works from every browser. Free number for the US. Just see that it doesn't work for you... I set it up more than 10 years ago in the US. Still works for me here in Thailand. Even free SMS inside US.
  5. Here you find the balance sheets of the ECB for the last years... https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/annual/balance/html/all_balance_sheets.en.html
  6. Assets are for instance government bonds. The ECB bought them to keep the interest rates for problem countries low.
  7. Correct me if I am wrong. The only sex residents can have before marriage is with foreigners or how? All the horny ladies there... Will look for a flight to Bali.
  8. Did you look at Google Voice? You get a free phone number.
  9. Me too because I did not use them ????
  10. "Receptionists are in highest demand, followed by food and beverage service staff and spa masseurs.” How about "entertainers" and masseurs that provide happy endings? Is there a shortage too?
  11. Because many central banks printed and kept the interest rates low or even negative. The FED does (now) something against it. The ECB not so much because of the problems that higher interest rates would cause for countries with huge debts like Italy, Greece and others. In addition high inflation is a kind of debt reduction for such countries paid by everyone with money. Such people lose if the interest rate is lower than the inflation rate. In addition you have the war and sanctions that backfired...
  12. This shows the amount of money the ECB made available (printed...). In the meantime this high volume is one reason for the inflation.
  13. I did not eat anything for 2 weeks. The first 3 days were a problem. But afterwards I felt great. No hunger and no appetite and a lot of energy. The only problem is that because of the ketosis you smell a little bit strange. I continued with little food to get enough protein. In total I lost 16 KG and was completely slim. In the meantime... ????????????????????????????????????
  14. You can find all information on the Internet published by the ECB. They have to do it. Here vor instance the increase in the balance sheet that shows how they printed money.
  15. Just study the balance sheet of the ECB. And also their statements. Kohl always said that the Euro will be as strong as the German Mark. At the same time he allowed bankrupt countries like Italy and Greece to join the Euro.
  16. From Kohl and Mitterand. Kohl wanted to have East Germany. This idiot wanted to be famous. If you know what he did to his own wife you understand how sick he was...
  17. The EU was a very expensive bad idea at least in the existing configuration. And the biggest scandal is what the ECB does. Printing money to support bankrupt EU members.
  18. "In this case, the authorities became involved after a number of official complaints were filed, alleging that the venue was operating illegally and playing loud music which was disturbing local residents. At the time of the visit by officials, the manager of the bar was unable to produce a legal licence to sell alcohol." And in all the other cases... There are endless places where local residents are disturbed and nobody cares. And not only in Phuket. Many entertainment venues do what they want because there is no law enforcement - for whatever reason.
  19. I have no problems. I was taking them because I have been told that I have high cholesterol.
  20. My cholesterol is also high.I took 20 mg of Simvastatin every night. After about 2 weeks I got Tinnitus. I stopped taking it, but the Tinnitus didn't go away. Now I think whatever I do I won't be immortal anyway and I care more about enjoying my last years.
  21. You get a piece of paper with the date on it when you apply for the retirement extension.
  22. We really had that for a short time. Maybe I shouldn't use that word in connection with Pattaya. They also want to remove the illegal buildings on the Walking Street and the unfinished landmark Waterfront condo at Bali Hai. By the way. Tonight is the lottery drawing. Do you know a place where I can buy the tickets for 80 Baht ???????????? Just kidding.
  23. It is in the middle of nowhere. No tourist area.
  24. There are always many buses. So better if they say they are waiting for the cable car... ????????????
  25. The question is what people are this. There is no weekend. Don't they have to work or go to school? Obviously this first class entertainment venue (see picture) is for Thais.
