Nothing new about it, but does seem to be getting a bit of press, with more enforcement and scrutiny now. Aside from the businesses that do that, for foreigners to have, more than a few folks do the same, when building, buying a home. Personally never understood the logic of a large investment, made illegally, and risk of losing if & when caught. Along with, not even having full control of that asset, as only allowed to own 49% of said company. as a foreigner, in most cases.

If taking a break along the Gulf of Thailand, looking at, instead of playing in, may be a safer experience. This is locally, PKK municipality, 100 kms south of Hua Hin, 170 kms north of Thung Wua Laen beach, Chumphon. BE SAFE

That's not our experience. Their range chart is way off also. When we can do 90 kph, rare, but 2 stretches, we can do it consistently, PKK - Pranburi & Pkk - Chumphon. We average about 14kWh/100kms +/-, nothing like 18kWh/100kms

HomePro has a bed & bed selection/vendor, and probably where I'd start if looking for a new mattress. Medium price range ??? I would expect to pay ฿30k +/- for a new mattress, as that was the ballpark of last mattress we bought. Think that was about 15 yrs ago, if not longer, and still in fine shape. Worth every baht.

BEV ... range range range ... best answer

Yes ... time, not sure about now, but I think it only took one payment cycle/month, and it showed up my my account. That was a few years ago, before 2020, I think.

No, we will always be 'guests', and have to ask permission to stay, every year. I doubt if that will every change, and a good think ... for TH.

That depends on how many international (family) tourist actually return. If told & sold as a family friendly beach resort town, I'd be really disappointed ... actually P'd off big time. If told/sold as adult playground, then fairly spot on, as impossible to miss, and you don't need to go looking for it.

I like it, and hopefully that will become a standard thing. Would eliminate people not unplugging when done, rare. Hopefully, they stop charging @ 95%, as the last 5% simply takes too long. Instead of 5 ish mins, as <95% goes in at, it could be 20 mins, for that last 5% min of top up. Charging cable & Make/model dependent. Really is rude now to go to 100% is someone is waiting. Depending how far our next leg of the journey is, if not last stop, well leave anywhere from 80% and up, if someone is waiting.

Not really. Google nutritional facts for 100gr of.. ... AP flour ... Bread flour ... whole wheat flour ... & rye flour The rest is personal choice, (sugar & salt), if wanting to add and how much. My homemade bread has; flour, water, salt, yeast / 500g / 350g / 10g / 10-15g. Mixed flour usually, 50/50 bread/whole wheat, and occasionally, might add 10gr of sugar, depending on flour used & mix of. That's 10gr of sugar, for about a 825gr loaf of bread. So fairly irrelevant.

Fibrous veggies, and if needing a carb, I'm partial to egg noodles. Think stroganoff 😎

Yep, same same, though BP was only in the 140 ish range. Took all my higher end blood work numbers and made them excellent now.

Keep believing that ... Diets are unhealthy. Eating lifestyle, Keto for me, is very healthy. Y'all been told so many lies for so long, you believe them, food pyramid included .... IMHO

Neither ... Rye bread w/whole wheat flour 😎 If you must have bread. I still eat, homemade, and very sparingly. 1 loaf over 2 weeks (freezer) instead of 3 days

Yep ... perfect example is San Fran's $1.7 million public toilet. Emphasis on toilet (1), not toilets. A bit of outrage, and supposedly getting more, in that budget ... BUT, is there any left over ? The toilet and construction, though silly priced, wasn't the problem. The proposal, study, approval, regulation process, and all the BS, was the cost drivers. Some more silliness

Must watch, and take it from me, a Keto or Keto-ish diet works. Still cheat a bit, but I'm almost all KETO now 😎 We've been lied to so long, it's mind boggling. The addiction to sugar & carbs was hard to break, but once past that, KETO is quite easy

Agree there, and why I'm against most socialist programs. Gov't run = failure. Stated a few times in the past, healthcare, education should be free. Utilities; electric, oil & gas industry should be non profit, nationalized. BUT ... the govt programs already in existence (USA) are run so inefficiently, in the end might be more expensive. Look at NASA, and all the billions they've wasted. Space X get the same contract, at half price, and has run everything since they both got the contract. NASA ran 1 trip to ISS, and Space X had to do the return flight, as NASA's equipment crapped out. USA again, and the gov't has basically depleted the self funding Social Security Trust Fund ... WTF How do you run up $35T deficit ... I know, by borrowing money and giving it away to foreign countries while your citizens are living in the streets And the idiots keep reelecting the same career politicians and wonder why nothing changes .... UP THE REVOLUTION ...

In USA, before even considering the inflation with one's weekly shopping, it's the RE Taxes, healthcare ins cost, if using or not, worse if you actually need to use. Also utilities have skyrockets. It really is silly over there. My monthly living budget, is less than my brother's truck payment alone. Or less than his monthly utility bills. That's F'd up

Can't comment without being offensive ... 😎 Credited to Thatcher ... "Sooner or later, you run out of other peoples (mine) money" ... then what do you do ?

As long as it has GPS, and decent wind resistance, you shouldn't be crashing into sh!t. Only fly LOS (line of sight) or FPV via phone/drone camera. Flying responsibly is easy, and I've only crashed when playing around, and they didn't have GPS, or I was doing something really stupid ... away from people of course. Actually hard to crash a drone with GPS

Left the silly taxation world decades ago. -0- income tax now. Research & planning is everything. Only got hit 2X since retiring, and lied through my teeth to get the 37% rate down to 27%, which was bad enough Now I get to invest, nice ROI @ 100+% profits and pay no taxes, except the minimum land transfer tax. We let them tell use what that is, and never volunteer any real sale prices I LOVE TH ❤️ Off topic ... chit chattin with my brother this morning, retired years ago & doing fine, financially, but USA, what an overpriced sh!thole, if a working stiff just starting out. USA is done, unfixable, and will turn into the same silly socialism of Europe. Kind of sad really, and only taking <250 yrs.

It's called 'free speech, expression' and not social platform should be banned. If operating within the law, and not harmful. Benning, restricting thinking out loud, is simply censorship

@Benjamin1975 May want to rethink living in TH for 180 days a year, if it's going to cost you 315k a year, just for the privilege. I think if I was looking for a place tor retire, TH wouldn't be it. Maybe break up your time to TH, Nam & Cambo. Living on the cheap, it would be hard for me to even spend 315k as a yearly budget I'm settled in, with family, and enforced Tax code shouldn't affect me. If not, I'd probably wouldn't consider living in TH, at least not for 180 days.

You seem to miss, everyone has the same rights to file the same, using the same tax laws. The higher income earners pay more ... that's not fair. A flat tax is fair, and anything else is BS.
