KhunLA

Actually a very slight increase lately. BUT, down quite a bit from the high earlier this year. Can't say the same about everything else. Seems every week or so, something is up 10-20%

I've converted to Islam, now have 3 wives, from 3 different continents, 2 goats & 3 sheep LIVIN' the DREAM 😎

Thankfully the wife doesn't need batteries ...

😎

You could always get married ... Multiple accounts are annoying, then every 9 months or so, they call to have you move it around, so not taxes. Think it's just a ploy to sell you insurance. Why the wife likes buying land instead of opening yet another account at another bank. Better ROI anyway.

Thought there was plans for some type of peace agreement in the works, now or in the future. Why would the Thai gov't give these people anything, but a bullet in the head ... IMHO Guess peace is only one sided ...

One can only hope ... That would up the quality of expats ... or not. They'd have to ban the use of agents though, or it would be moot requirement. Those agent fees would go from 10-15-25k to 100-200k ROCK ON

Emphasis on 'most countries' and certain not the USA, with the silliest of healthcare cost. Healthcare ins here, TH, isn't exactly cheap either, especially when older, if even available. Along with some farang pricing of some procedures. If you have pre-existing issues, even the USA healthcare will cover those, as most universal healthcare in countries that offer it. If I had health issues, not sure TH would be the place to retire. Especially in BKK, as good luck getting to the ER at rush hour

I clip off #1 ... oops

No need to repeat myself. Every product is responsibility of the end user. I get it, CN is bad. Carry on. If I was to use a boat or boat service, I'd check the weather and marine forecast. Maybe CN should have idiot warning like other products ... ... don't stick metal items in toaster while plugged in ... don't drink the battery acid ... don't use electric appliance in water ... please don't shoot yourself in the head with our firearms ... don't use inflatable boats during rough seas or overload the rated capacity, which probably is a warning. Surely CN's fault when there product is misused. Follows EV criticism of CN making high performance cars people seem to crash. But high performance ICEV by USA & EU ... no problem. WE get it ... CN is bad A news blip about CN on AN or MSM, or anywhere, will it be ... ... negative or ... positive Let me guess ...

I did an edit, in case you missed it ... ... And CN helping people flee tyrannical govts, oppression, and war zones is a bad thing ? ... Refugee - a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.

How someone sells or uses CN's products is CN's fault ? The responsibility falls on the end user, not the manufacturer. People sell burner phone, is that the phone makers fault. Let's not even start with firearms. Or drug companies, docs & pharmacies pushing drugs. And CN helping people flee tyrannical govts, oppression, and war zones is a bad thing ?

People sure do read a lot into an advert. I didn't see 'refugee' once. Selling boats where there is water to use them in ... shameful Let's not forget, all inflatable boat sales folks must be Chinese. Surely nobody else buys them and sells them for illegal activity. What next ... Chinese selling drones to cartels, to deliver drugs to prisoner in jail. Chinese sell EV in MX to cartels , so they can cut cost for drug & human trafficking. Nobody complained about CN selling cruise missile guidance systems to Raytheon for use by the USA & NATO. CN could find the cure for cancer, and somehow they would be bad for it

We didn't notice any noise, and that is something I would notice.

What happened to the BS that he'd do that before Easter ... passed already , damn

Guessing you are not going to USA Embassy ?

Our favorite Gulf beach. If they had a Makro there, may have based ourselves there instead of PKK. Looked at a lot of land down there, but no luck finding any builders. As soon as they opened a Makro at PKK we moved down and rented for 1-2 yrs before building on the land we bought a couple years earlier there. They had a Tesco/Lotus, but about as useful as 7-11, or maybe even less so Having a Global House & HomePro were added pluses also. All fairly new 8 ish years ago.

HEY ... I didn't watch it yet. Actually will in few minutes. Only thing I have to watch. Past couple weeks been living on FB & YT reels 🙄

I meant asking 'in person ... 'then go to airlines I plan on flying with them' ... and he's not so sure about giving up the PP, as states 'may' Y'all have a nice day

Yea ... a lot more. I use to be the only farang at Makro, usually, shopping. Now I'm one of 5-8 farangs 🥵 We sat surfside the other night, munching that 2 for 1 pizza the other night, Saturday, and the place was very busy. Actually limited parking surfside. First time in a while down on the weekend. Wife decided she wanted to stroll around the weekend market, and I got to 2nd soi away, and stated this is as far as I'm going. Call me when done and I'll meet up. Easy 100-150m away, and it was packed ... ... never mind, go home Rest of week, it's still quiet, except for the one seafood place, and strangely the 2 farang managed places next to each, full of .. farangs. Actally the last place you'd find me eating. Especially after peeking at their offerings & pricing. That different strokes thing.

You post below, now above, points out, we can't answer the query. AA as you point out, want a PP, though that my be inconsistent with different airports and or check in agents. Other carriers have different policies. Again, we don't the nationality or consulate. We are not the people to ask. I would ask the consulate, if they need my PP ? If so, then go to airlines I plan on flying with them, tell them you won't have for return flight, and please place that in the PNR when made. Simple solution to simple issues, instead of useless advice on a forum form strangers. Y'all have a nice day

OP didn't state nationality, so hard for anyone to help. States he/she 'may' have to hand in PP. Again, poor planning, as should simple ask, then he/she wouldn't have ask on the forum, as query that nobody can answer, except give useless advice. I'm a Yank, and we just mail ours in. 2 weeks or so, and it's back. As others are pointing out, the only thing consistent in TH, is the inconsistency.

I only posted poor review of things that were pretty poor, and wouldn't want someone to waste their time. And usually after someone else also posted a negative review. I leave things up to others to decide, unless simply agreeing with someone else. I watch anywhere from 10-20 movies or series a week, when available. So far from being negative from everything that comes out. Some are a bit more enjoyable than just time killers. Many are just or barely time killers. But as stated, none I would ever pay for. Someone mentioned 'Black Mirror' so downloaded 1, 3, 6 & 7, based on reviews. 1 getting trashed, which I realized had actually seen, and was just OK. Reviews stated skip 1 & 2, start with 3. Along with 6 & 7 getting great reviews. I didn't make it past the first eps of all 3 seasons. But you wouldn't know as I didn't bother posting. I don't think.

Apples & Oranges from the OP 🙄 Who makes flight reservation when they sent their PP away ? What if ... what if people thought for just a second before doing something.

Then apparently you really suck at planning things
