Just under 33,000 THB is already very ambitious! Just like everything else from this company! The XIAOMI devices only cost about 20% of what DYSON charges, plus the increased power consumption of the Dyson devices! Is the Xiaomi filter better than HEPA? In order for the HEPA filter to emit more clean air, the motor has to run at a higher speed, which results in higher energy consumption. With a lower fiber density, the Xiaomi filter is able to emit the same amount of clean air as a conventional filter, but with a significantly lower energy consumption.

Internet Providers in Jomtien / Pattaya
Richard 2020 replied to Jingthing's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I switched from 3BB to TOT because 3BB does not put fiber in condos! Top Service Only call 1888! In 3 years almost no failures,except for construction work and their accidents! Stable 1000/500 line even with VPS no problems! -
I had my gallbladder (with a large stone) removed in Korat at Saint Mary's Hospital after almost unbearable pain. Minimally invasive, no pain almost no scar after only 3 months to see! Stay in the hospital 3 days, in a 2 room luxury room with girlfriend! Costs, with operation of my umbilical hernia, ca.280.000.-THB In the BPH in Pattaya it would have cost me 3 times as much, so drive to Korat ;-)

Thai Credit Cards
Richard 2020 replied to pontious's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
As already written. Deposit money in the amount of the desired credit line on a "blocked" bank book, and you get a real VISA credit card! So relatively simple! I have also done so, at Bangkok Bank! -
WRLife medical insurance - experiences?
Richard 2020 replied to bradiston's topic in Health and Medicine
Why does an accidental death benefit prevent some of the costs? Dead by accident...Then I need anyway no more benefit from the insurance! I guess once 120.000.-THB ? I also had a deductible of 300.000.-THB As already written, there is no guarantee that the HI also pays everything! Especially if it is expensive. Thai HI as well as so not! -
Is that a criterion for quality, write a lot and be a long time in a forum member? For me there are just many things that, for me, are more important than many forum posts! Shall I therefore the status "Gold Member" probably not reach... ;-(

"Does anyone think it is still a good idea to live in Pattaya long term? I've seen reports and videos that people want to leave and that prices for everything are too high. I don't see any positive chatter at all." Anyone who believes such <deleted> should take a closer look at the people broadcasting it ,sometime! Some of them have NEVER been to Thailand, even in Pattaya! Of course, if I have little money at my disposal, it is nowhere nice!!! But the fact is, of course, that ONLY in PATTAYA the prices rise, otherwise they fall down worldwide ;-(

WRLife medical insurance - experiences?
Richard 2020 replied to bradiston's topic in Health and Medicine
I have lived in Thailand for a good 32 years. Was also long time health insurance! These HI were but all NO Thai companies!!! My experiences with Thai HI are not the best! From an age of 65, the contributions increase significantly! From 70 it becomes really expensive! My last Thai KV - LUMA - has informed me in writing, on my request, the premium increases for the next years! If you change age group, your premium will increase by about 30-40% overall - medical inflation and community rating are already included. They are not in addition to this increase. If you are still under the same age group, your premium will increase by about 8-12%. annually! So unaffordable unless I'm rich ????. Save for 5 years I save 300,000.-THB annually and that's my HI . Was just in the hospital now,2 surgeries, went to Korat for this! Price difference to the BPH in Pattaya good 350.000.-THB. Paid I there about 280.000.-THB private hospital!!! The main problem is actually that if it is expensive, the HI tries everything to have to pay nothing, or only a little! -

If she dies and you inherit land, you must transfer it to a Thai within 6 months. Falangs can only own land in a short-term temporary status. Of course a Thai buyer will pay you a SUPER PRICE, especially since he knows that YOU have to sell ???? This has nothing to do with the property/house located on the land! The house is yours, but it is NOT on your land! And a lifelong right of residence, is after the death of the landowner, possibly worth nothing, if the heirs do not want to have you in "THEIR" house ???? There helps only move....!! Therefore, only a CONDO, in your name is a safe alternative!

Thai Credit Cards
Richard 2020 replied to pontious's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
But, the "Regular Income" must be earned in Thailand ! Pensions etc. from overseas do not apply! Then it goes only about a "Saving ACC" which is blocked as security! Example: 200.000.-THB on the account = card limit 200.000.-THB -
I think it behaves like this: The beach chair rental Thai Guy cooperates with a speedboat provider! The beach chair provider promotes "HIS" speedboat for HIS guests, and gets commission! Fetches now another speedboat at "HIS" beach section guests, so he misses his commission! So ergo: Other speedboat "steals" guests! Thai Logic!

It is important to know the difference between a VPN and a free, quasi VPN! The free VPN are just NO real VPN, they are only PROXYS! A proxy server is also no guarantee for your security. Although your data traffic is usually not assigned to you as a user, but the transmitted data is not additionally encrypted. A web-based proxy server can hide your IP address, which makes it difficult for a web server to determine your physical location. But just because your IP address is obfuscated doesn't mean your web traffic is encrypted at the same time. That means your data requests - such as usernames, passwords, and other account information - are still at risk. Unlike a "Real" VPS!

Measures must be taken to discourage foreigners from using nominees to buy land next to their one-rai plots and combine it into larger plots, Meesak said. One way to do this would be to set a minimum price for land for foreigners, he said. For plots up to 50 square wah (200 square meters), he proposed a minimum price of 5 million baht in Greater Bangkok and 3 million baht in other provinces. For plots of 51 to 100 square wah, it should be 10 million baht. For land with 101 to 200 square wah, 50 million baht. And for plots with 201 square wah to 1 rai: 100 million baht in Greater Bangkok and 30 million baht in provinces. For land in residential projects, foreign owners should have half the rights of Thais when it comes to voting on matters related to the project, Meesak said. Any questions ??

I bought a condo in Jomtien in the 1990s! After only 1 year sold again! Long distances, no nightlife worth mentioning, for all purchases over the hill to Pattaya..Annoying! At night or in the morning with the motorcycle from Pattaya to Jomtien.... Not easy to find a "companion" who goes along! At the end of the world...;-) With "Wong Amat" made everything right! It has always been a "good address" and you can see that in the last 15 years, what was built there in condos and hotels, and is still being built! Who the footpath to Naklua Rd. is too far, there are plenty of moped cabs, cabs, and of course BOLD! On weekends often great parties at the "Bamboo Beach" with disc jockeys and several super girls! Just have a look in the WWW !

Portable Air Conditioners In Thailand
Richard 2020 replied to frenchfarangjomtien's topic in Chiang Mai
I have not yet read a test report in the last 10 years in which even 1 of these mobile Aircon,s has received a better verdict than "Poor"! Yes, in the stores they spread cold air, which, however, from the firmly installed devices is supplied ???? -
THAT would be absolutely crucial for me too! The speed of the elevators...!! The condo could be ailing! The main thing is fast elevators !!

Where to buy sports tape/tappiing ankles
Richard 2020 replied to Orangutan's topic in Health and Medicine
Type this into Google... : sporttapes thailand 100s of offers ! https://www.facebook.com/SporttapeTH/ Information about the city would be extremely helpful! -
Then just do not buy ???? Although you can return the goods, if not satisfactory, in any 7/11 or Family Mart again "Free of charge" and get your money replaced! Risk too big ??
