Voted in 1 presidential election out of 12 available. I won't be voting in this one either. President is appointed by electors of the Electoral College (EC). He/she is not elected by popular vote. You don't even vote for the electors of the EC. Electoral College is the group of presidential electors that is formed every four years during the presidential election for the sole purpose of voting for the president and vice president. Each state appoints the electors. With that ... what's the point of voting for the President. I have better things to do, than waste my time, going through the motions, doing something, that affects, absolutely nothing. 4 times the EC appointed the unpopular candidate ... D Trump (2016) G Bush (2000) B Harrison (1888) R Hayes (1876)

Big fan of large window areas also, for the same reason. All 3 house builds have / had lots of outdoor viewing. Present one, dog's sofa and eat in kitchen look out onto & beyond the veranda. Nice views, looking East from the doors below and West from the front porch. Last house, almost the whole North wall was glass, 2nd floor was open w/360° view ... First house, West wall was half glass ...

A short local O&A, and only 85 kms away. Popped up to Pranburi beach area, (Pak Nam) just north of us, to see what's up on a weekend (Sat). Apparently left a little too early for festivities; bands, more street vendors, and some 'mini' balloons. Stopped on the way back home for a nice munch. If in the area, would recommend the munch spot, at very north end of Sam Roi Yot beach. Cappuccino frappe sucked, but food was tasty.

In that case, it's a half rai ... House sits on 1/4 rai, and the green house / garden, sits on another 1/4 opposite side of soi. Might even be getting a concrete road soon 👍

Defeats the whole point of having a wife / GF. I loathe those that do, and have no respect for them. Don't even want to be near then, as the must untrustworthy of people. Right there with liars & thieves. Nothing but predatory scum ... I'd also be the first to enlighten their partner of their cheating ways. A will known pet peeve of mine and probably why I don't personally know many that do such.

Yep ... first thing that came to my mind, after reading headliner. Some people just refuse to help themselves. Others seize every opportunity to. Live with choices ...

Don't need a justification. Knew when I left 24 yrs ago, I wouldn't be returning. Any doubt and I wouldn't have liquidated all my RE. Would have kept at least 1, JIC. Almost half my adult life was there, that was enough for me. Missed peeking at a few Nat. Parks, but that's about it. Did or seen anything else that would interest me.

If I lived in Krung Thep, I'd definitely have a vid camera set up viewing the sidewalk. You could live on that income ...

N America does get a few things right ... 👍 We get about 2 months of AQI in 100+/-, rest of the year is fine. Can't say that about the fecal count or clarity of the surf (Gulf).

Lock you wife & kid in the closet for an hour, and when you open the closet ... which one will be happy to see you

Mixed thoughts on that. I'll warn folks on the overpass without a helmet headed toward a check point. The other day coming back from Hua Hin on highway, I'm passing a truck/trailer, with cruise control set @ 89 kph, and a pick up comes up behind me, way too fast behind me, flashes lights while I'm passing. I ignore him, and if having another coat of paint, he'd hit me So as soon as I'm able, I pass the truck and move over, knowing there's a speed camera ahead, and he probably hit about 120 kph in a 90 kph zone as he passed it

That's not a reason, that's an excuse

Our house is ~125m² and the carport comes in handy, but realistically, I live in only 60m². The rest is simply storing all the crap I've collected while here. Or needed to maintain the rest of the house/garden, that isn't really a necessity to have. If single, I could probably manage with a 50m² condo, as just cooking for 1 person. But living out of 30-35m², would get old very fast.

I need a full size kitchen, with lots of counter space. I could probably get by with 2 burner gas hob & air fryer, but would limit my 'creativity' ... Our eat-in kitchen is 30m² alone, and give my 30m² more for bedroom/bath, and I'm happy. That would meet my minimalist living quarters. Don't need, or even have a living & dining room in present house.

Agree and CCTV will insure everyone's safety. Use to go to a lot of music concerts, and they all usually had one thing in common, lines to the ladies rest room, and lots of time some gals would use the guys rest room, as rarely a line. Don't know about actually touching the seat, but nobody cared. A drunk might make a comment, but always someone else there to till them to chill out.

Wanted a good chuckle this morning. Forgot about and rethinking the thread. So IF (never going to happen) I returned to USA, had a semi serious oops in Nov/Dec, then had another semi serious oops in Jan / Feb, It may actually cost me close to ฿1M baht before any coverage kicks in, since 2 different (annual deductible) years ... I seriously can't get that sick here, even once for half a mill ... That alone is reason enough never to return to USA. From quoted text of previous post: "Annual deductible of $13,228.24 / ฿445,451 before coverage kicks in, then deductibles for actually using, for specialist & drugs needed, if have an oops or ongoing issue."

No need to ask why they are homeless ...

That's a given, as I have no intention of leaving, or sitting on a plane internationally. Unless I take the Orient Express to somewhere, I'm crappin' out here. Actually saw it buzz by the park one day. Since running late, as scheduled to pass by at night time.

Never really watched her show, big surprise. Little I knew, she come off as a hypocrite. Saying that, the trailer looks good ...

Yea, that's scary, as they consider low to be 90/60 ... ... what's your O2 level when BP that low ?

That's fine ... IF, you prefer noise & vibration over actual performance

And another EV thread ruined by EV trolls ... ... well done 😎

A couple generations changed things. 50s & 60s, divorce was still embarrassing vs today, where it's almost expected Lots of broken homes in the 80s and beyond. Along with living together is accepted in MSM.

Nah ... there's rarely more than a couple 100 thousand baht on hand. More than 200, and it's a pain to carry in my little bag, w/PP/license/wallet & such. Since at the bank the other day, for Imm, made a withdrawal, and now have about 200k COH. Won't need to make another withdrawal for 3 or 4 months, and that will go directly into the play account, as wife has that account at BBL also. I tend not to lose things, so not much of an issue, security wise.

Agree, and they offer a nice online service for PP renewal, as too easy, abet, a bit pricey. Just the DHL thing, and why fix what isn't broken, and will cost more.
