yes

21 is actually a low daily number for TH, as is the average of 42 or 43 a day. Holidays always seem to have lower number of roadway deaths than the daily average of the year. 2019 average was 54 per day. 2020 ... 49, thanks to covid 2021 ... 46 Actually those numbers sound low, but can't be bothered searching more.

Sounds like most of the members here, who came to TH for the young ladies of the night. Especially the ones concerned about the 'age of consent' Mirror mirror on the wall ....

Aside from possible illegality of short term rentals, it wasn't a good your for tourist rentals in 2020/21/22 and probably 2023. Yet the students still needed to be near campus, even if online learning most days. Initial investment would probably be less, not being in a tourist area, or the need to provide the amenities (higher maintenance fees) tourist expect & pay to upkeep them

weinstien had a working relationship with most involved and surely the rumour mill was well aware of it. The presenter (and not alone in doing so) at an award event made reference of it way before he was outed & charged .... "and the nominees are ... now you don't have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey" epstein was an 'American financer' ... and many may have been ignorant of anything else he was involved in. Not like those that knew or partook would be bragging about sleeping with minors/hookers or what not. If rich, why would you? @50 sec of vid epstein meets Trump, who already has a 29 yr old hanging on his are ... how's that conversation go. "How Donald, what to bang someone younger?" Now clinton on the other hand, known to have no respect for himself or women ... "Hey Bill want to" ... "sign me up .. "

AN ... a new low, and here I didn't think that was possible

I notice no credit or description on the rag photo...poor journalism ... Trump & future wife at his FL resort almost 24 yrs ago, and 8 years before epstein was convicted of sex crimes.

If read link, Trumps meetings were at his FL resort (in link), and he did run beauty pageants, also noted in the link. Pageants would be like a discount candy warehouse/store for epstein, soliciting the losers Not like they were private meetings with no other folks around he/epstein was plying his influence to, or getting from, along with their money.

Exciting new tech seems to be announced every month. Glad I waited as long as I did (due to ignorance of ). As the lithium packs seemed to peak, chemistry wise (LFP), and too old to really wait for any new tech to be mass produced. Great for younger folks, as next 5 years and maybe they'll settle on one type and go with that. Even lower cost & more range, though seem to have something for everyone already, budget dependent. As we see on the threads, EV's viability is linked so much to one's location, and how the infrastructure is keeping pace or failed to. Happy Motoring

Obviously clinton won't surprise anyone. Already known Trump met with him more than a few times, although may have been unrelated to sex. "The woman, in testimony at Maxwell’s federal sex crime trial, did not allege any improper conduct by Trump when she met him at his Mar-a-Lago resort."

And yet, all the complexes are full with waiting list ... go figure.

Better to buy a condo (or townhouse, if possible) within walking distance, or shuttle service to a university. Not sure about monthly profit, but if bought outright or good financing, you get a free living unit in 10-15-20 years. Always a shortage of accommodations near uni s here.

That would depend on the complex and rules of. Some may allow shorter term rentals within the law, and condo rules. Other's strictly against the rules. Live with your choices. A tourist or few, may be better neighbors than the owner being there year round.

Which compulsive liar are you referring to; Trump or Biden They're politicians, it's a job requirement.

Something like that. Was talking to a bud from Udon Thani and we got on subject of forums, as we enjoyed the UT ones for a while. Like myself, he didn't realize AN was TV, and took a peek and decided it was a gay forum ... Said he peeked at the first 10 ish pages of new content, and what stood out, was posts about penises (sizes, wood in the AM.etc etc), ladyboys, homosexuals movies, gender rights, pride parades, and same sex marriage, drag queen hour at schools, libraries, diversity this & that. Hard to argue with his assumption ... Must of peeked when all the gays & bi s were posting. Too funny. When I told him it was rebranded TV, it sunk in, as he also pointed out the non alphabet threads were full of grumpy folks endlessly arguing.

So you didn't read, just attacking the source. We could do that all day. Politico ... another joke wiki ... even funnier at times Have a nice day.

Seriously ... you didn't just say that. source

'strict ID laws' ... describe strict. Need ID, need to be registered ... not strict. You got anything else ?

Just meeting wouldn't set off alarm bells. But repeated trips to 'the island' would definitely be a bit suspect. Or any pleasure penthouses, if having. Have to plead ignorance about the whole epstein thingy as pedo or pimps' lifestyles don't interest me.

So those that don't legally qualify to vote, can't vote. How is that suppression. You have, or get an ID, you register to vote ... .you vote. Couldn't get an easier. If I returned to the USA, I don't think I could vote, as not registered anywhere. Is that suppression, NO, that's me not preparing & following the law. Law abiding USA citizens and not restricted from voting ... anywhere in the USA. Must have missed this part ... "Please enlighten me, and not illegal immigrants, or those that can't provide ID of who they are or where they live. What country allows that?"

False narrative. No USA citizen is disqualified from voting without justification, such as a felon, in some circumstance, if even still a thing. Please enlighten me, and not illegal immigrants, or those that can't provide ID of who they are or where they live. What country allows that?

Peeked at that option, and not a fan. They aren't inexpensive for what you get. If any wood in the construction, the termites will have at it, not matter what anyone tells you. Location dependent, but land isn't cheap to buy or rent. If knowing where you want to be, simply buy a condo if available, or rent. Rent giving you all the options if not satisfied with any aspect of living in that location. Of course, it depends on age, relationship, if having, available liquid funds. I'm a thrifty shopper, and didn't see the financial advantage to them. Retiring early (45), and RE savvy, buying made sense for me, but has many pitfalls for the inexperienced. Buying (building) will always be financially better, if staying put for 5 yrs or more. Does take a very trusting partner/relationship though. If I came here at retirement age (65/66) Then no, I would have rented, instead of building, and maybe a condo if I found an area I liked. Which hasn't happened, and no condos in the areas I prefer to live. Rent is very inexpensive though ... location dependent. Rule #1 ... never invest more than you can walk away from.

Big surprise, and guess the same amount believe the same about Trump in 2016. Any guess what the demographics of that survey would be. Sore losers on both sides. Same as the lottery, better luck next time

Traffic yesterday on hwy #4 as very heavy. I forgot they had 1 holiday over the weekend. Didn't realize that many folks drove that much further south of Hua Hin for a long weekend. Probably Ban Krut, Thung Wua Laen beaches, or over to Samui. Phuket is too easy to fly to. Highlights how much they don't care for Chonburi & eastward beaches, or just been there, done that mode. I can relate
