Can you recommend me a cheap car insurance ?
KhunLA replied to steph83's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
We found Roojai to be the cheapest. Also provided excellent service when having an oops. No argument about where the work to be done (MG dealer) or any aspect of it not being covered. Or parts MG techs recommended. Every ins co. & broker of ins (even our cousin) wanted 20k+, and Roojai was 13.4k, renewal, without any no claim discount, since having an oops previous year. This for MG ZS EV, which insurance for EVs are silly priced, now. The first year of coverage on the BEV, that we paid, was the same as the last year of coverage we paid on the same car, 2 yrs prior, but the ICE version (both MG ZSs). So much for any pricing logic. -
Building a boundary wall cost in 2025
KhunLA replied to kwak250's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
If you're more in an urban area, take a ride to a bit more rural area, and cruise around see if anything being built. Have the wife/GF ask about price, before you (out of sight) take a peek at the work. Should have a nice large block and or concrete base w/steel, and same for columns and top beam w/steel. Doesn't have to be the thickest rebar around, since not supporting any weight, and it's not going to fall down in 40 kph wind. We don't get major or even feel minor earthquakes here. If they'll be doing the painting, usually will, pay extra, so they don't add ANY water to the primer/sealer or paint. AND ... make sure they don't 😎 -
I assumed biden used an executive order for the ban, but, pointed out he did not. Which exposes the 'deep state' once again, as I don't believe any thinks biden can remember where he was when he ate his last breakfast, let alone, remembering and enacted a decades old law. Win win for Trump & myself, as when oil & gas companies use it to raise prices, which will raise inflation, Trump gets to blame biden & the dems, and I get a higher COLA

Just symbolic gesture. Most nobody cares about, and hopefully, in the future, the world won't be so dependent of fossil fuels (oil & gas) anyway ... ... "Most of the newly-protected territory is not particularly appealing to the oil industry, at least right now. That's led some to dismiss this move as merely symbolic." ... More just exposing the 'deep state', and not good for them. Which in the minds of most folks, will equate to getting screwed again, and think future high gas prices. Which when happens, President Trump gets to blame it Biden & the dems ... win for Trump. Which of course, the oil companies will use as an excuse to raise prices If people weren't such idiots, they'd have Solar Systems & BEVs. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/06/nx-s1-5249765/biden-offshore-drilling-ban

It is a Gulf located in N. America, that borders 3 countries Don't think anyone cares what it's called, as think most locals simply call it 'the Gulf'.

Building a boundary wall cost in 2025
KhunLA replied to kwak250's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
We're not in HH, but 100 kms south of, and I wouldn't expect to pay more than ฿2k per meter, ฿3k max, and only 4 (?) yrs since we had ours built. That was, 2m high & 60 meters @ 80k = ฿1334 per and high price at the time. -

KhunLA replied to kwak250's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
2 meters high, 1 linear meter, and I'd expect to pay ฿1500-฿2000 per, sealed & painted. Not including a gate or entry doorway. Anything more than ฿440k is a silly rip off price. IMHO & experience. Wall at 1st house is 23 yrs old, still standing. 2nd house, 14 yrs old, still standing. -

Thaksin Under Fire: Racist Remarks in Chiang Rai Spark Outrage
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I have no boundaries to free speech, expression of 'opinions'. @FritsSikkink TH & USA, the 2 that I referenced are NOT on the list of tyrannical, freedom restricting countries in your link. So you've shown me NO facts, that I requested for enlightenment. Simply verifying my facts, that free speech exists in TH. If you banned bigotry speech ... AN wouldn't exist -
The Deep State, biden's puppeteers have completely lost it. Pardons, and now this, drilling ban. With the swipe of the pen, Trump will void the ban. They are just alienated themselves even more from the public. Exposing themselves to the reality of their total control that they've exerted over politicians. They really do think everyone is a moron ... UP THE REVOLUTION ...

That does make sense. Though Mexico still has the most dominant coastline, in length. About 100 kms more than USA, and Cuba having <400 kms of coastline with the Gulf.

Early morning / Twilight hours boredom
KhunLA replied to themechanic's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yes, something about waking up before and seeing the sun rise, just makes for a better day. Rare that I don't naturally wake up for, without an alarm clock, and I rarely go to sleep before midnight. -

Thaksin Under Fire: Racist Remarks in Chiang Rai Spark Outrage
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That many consider it racist, and many don't agree with what he stated, including myself, knowing more than a few fine looking mamas, certainly does not mean he doesn't have the right to state his opinion. -

KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Please enlighten me with some facts, and not your opinion. I understand the law perfectly. And AI seems to point that out. Unfortunately, I explained it to you, but I can't make you understand it. -

KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I didn't ignore them, or cut the part out that states there are some. The restriction are irrelevant to what was said, and he has the right, the freedom to express his opinion. That you disagree with that right, doesn't negate it, simply means your implication that it's not allowed, is wrong. Now you know, and happy to enlighten you ... time to move on. Have a nice day -

Transgender Woman Assaulted by Foreigner on Pattaya Beach
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I like the ones that are all 'drag'd up', standing in the middle of Bangla Rd, fanning themselves with a piece of cardboard. Then a tourist comes up an askes, "mind if I take your photo?" , OK , then afterwards, turns the cardboard around and it states "PHOTOS 100 BAHT" -
Missing Woman 'Alice', Abducted 6 Days Ago, Sparks Concern
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So no follow up, from family or PoPo. Are PoPo even looking for her or took a missing person report from any relatives ? Or do the PoPo know where she is ? Anyone tell the relatives and or, do they even care or concerned ? Or already know where she is, again, in PoPo custody ? If you Google her name, the only info available, is this thread -
Transgender Woman Assaulted by Foreigner on Pattaya Beach
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
"she confronted the man and asked him to leave" ... can't ask someone to leave a public area. "After he walked away towards a nearby public toilet, she followed" ... could have avoided further issues, if he didn't follow him. Oh well ... such drama- 104 replies

Foreign men attack Phuket taxi driver over fare dispute - video
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Thalang is abut 30 kms away and can take an hour to get there from Patong. It's a Bolt ride, so the fare is known before they even get in. Who books a taxi and doesn't have money to pay for it ? Along with riding around looking and waiting an exchange or ATM, the driver is missing opportunity for another fare. Though should have, if he didn't, stated the charge to drive, wait, and return them to where ever, before hand. Violence is an over the top response, no matter. -
they just killed 2 of my dogs
KhunLA replied to bubblegum's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Rough crowd ... though the story does lack details. The 'wife & family' comment does leave a bit to speculate about Outside our walled yard, our dog is never off the leash, for her own safety. Even inside the wall, I'll recon around the house, to ensure no snakes, before letting her out to P. 2nd house wasn't walled, and I had to walk her on a leash in our yard, as she'd chase after anything that moves.
