How is my low living monthly living expenses sad. I think most would love to not have all the monthly bills that they have. Who wouldn't want no mortgage/rent, car payment, PEA/MEA bill, and petrol bill for the vehicles. That adds up to quite a bit saved. We have water bill, internet / phone, and small connection fee from PEA (27 baht), unless using, which is rare. Food and any meds if needed.

AoT is a private company, and can award contracts to who ever they please. Control the 10 international airport in Thailand. Finally some competition from taxis allowed. It's a good thing people.

I find it strange that people trust new 'service', thinking it's private or secure from prying eyes. It may have even been set up be the very people they are trying to avoid. Same with VPNs. Remember decades ago, my CC were having high balance, which were always paid on time and never a minimum payment, as used them mainly for investing. Then came adverts, for "in trouble, let us help" companies that sprung up. Hook for me was, "we negotiate your principle and save you money" Thinking, hmm, OK, I'll give it try, nothing to lose. All they did (for free / red flag), was add up you minimum payment, and request a check for that amount, and they paid you debt for you. Thought strange as I never paid minimum payments, as hated interest, and always paid off ASAP. One payment cycle, and all my CC were being cancelled. Say what .. ring them up, and they have no reason to cancel, and can't give me one, as if not paying off before interest charged, I'd pay them after selling or refinancing what I used them for. I realized what it was, a company set up by the CC companies to give them a heads up, for people in financial trouble, that only made their minimum payments and were in CC hell. Not me or how I used them. From my payments, they should have realized that. Worked out great for me, as I have just bought a house using them (cash advance) and had a high balance. Called each one, and none reinstated my CC, but demanded payment in full ASAP. I told them all to F'off, as they breached the contract to provide credit if I paid. Restore my CC and I'll pay, as I please, within the contract. Strangely all denied, as I guess they thought I was going to tap out the credit lines and not pay. And strangely, when pointed out, they breached the contract, not me, they never tried to collect the balance. Best thing that ever happened. As at that point, I no longer need CC anyway, as one of the last houses I bought. After that, I realized not to trust any company, and their BS. Want privacy, use us ... yea right.

To the title ... I thought the only 4 yrs of Trump was refreshing, and a nice change from the tyranny imposed by all the other administrations (except Carter) that people had to deal with.

Unfortunately it will never happen. As MSM is controlled by people who want everyone distracted, and labels are the best way to keep everyone divisive. They create special interest groups, who supposedly push for equality, but do the complete opposite, and endorse segregation and identities. Everyone has to have a label, even the non cis, has how many letters. So many I just refer to them as the alphabet folks. For humor, and I can't keep track, and don't care to. All these special interest groups cry about not being accepted, but want special notice; pride month, black's month, woman's month. Actually a good thing in a way, as actually shows who the true bigots are. I try to avoid people that use label, for anything, as don't wan to be around bigots. People are the same worldwide, as I found little to now difference, even they some push 'their culture'. All a bit silly. We're all human, only difference, is some are male, some female. The rest is label, and one people probably should stop using, if ever wanting peace in the world. On topic ... all have always interested me when I'm singe, being pansexual, I like having sex with anyone & everyone PARTY ON

Oh honey ... it's only one day .... ... oh wait, it's 'Pride Month" Black History Month Woman's History Month When's 'white male month' ? ... never mind, that's racist and misogynist

Maybe they are referring to all the make up needed and amount of time to trowel it on. And I thought Halloween was the end of October ... "It's Raining Men" ... just in time for rainy season

Me @ Phuket, 1st visit (1999) Roaming elephant show in the village (2000), held at the outdoor movie theater grounds. Me & daughter, getting our freak on @ Nong PraJack Park, Udon Thani

That would be fair enough, if cheney, bush & blair also stood trial for crimes against humanity

Already established business, same with tobacco, and too many vested in it. Along with both are a great tax revenue stream. Let those 2 deadly, profitable, tax generating, allowed vices sink in, when govt states they care about your health & well being ... worldwide Weed is controlled, because it is, a weed, an any idiot can grow it, eventually.

No wonder the dudes aren't called 'Trans Ladies' ... might imply some kind of good, mature, respect worthy demeanor Seems to only take a second, for their fake smile and criminal side to show. WELCOME to THAILAND

OP ... you might want to actually read the DTA yourself, and not rely on YT for info. Maybe there's a UK govt site you can register for any updates to the DTA if they come about.

Rupture your fuel tank on your ICEV and the result isn't much different.

Not much of a choice ... kangaroo court, and I don't think he expected Ecuador to stab him in the back. Show have gone to the RU embassy Just a warning to all future whistleblowers ... speak out and we'll ruin your life ... OR ... kill you. Nothing like the FREE WORLD

Agree, and even if you own your home and car (no payments), you have RE Taxes (or rent) to deal with. And the one I replied to, in USA, even if having work covered health insurance, you have silly deductibles to pay, at the doc, and specialist, and pharmacy, that cost more than the pharmaceuticals here. If retired, you at least have Medicare Plan B to pay, every month ($170 ?) Could I live just as comfy back there/USA, as here/TH, if we sold up ... probably, but only because everything would be paid for, w/no monthly cost, except Plan B, and a separate carrier for wife, which probably together, again would match or exceed my monthly expenses here. Low RE Tax out in bumFK nowhere. Then we have to feed ourselves, and forget going O&A, as you're not going to find a hotel anywhere decent for <$100 USD. If OP can swing it here, and especially with online business, kudos to her & family. My daughter is doing the same thing next month, and quitting her job, as takes time away from her online business.

So they push electronic banking, because it saves them money, and now they're thinking of new ways to charge you, for helping save them money ... Once there's a cashless society, do you think there will be more fees or less fees in the future to access 'your' money ? The ultimate control over you. ... no vaccine shot ... NO MONEY ... unacceptable social media post ... NO MONEY You just can't fix stupid

How do swing that ? I live in TH, on a silly low amount of money, and mandatory monthly bills/cost are <฿10k / $275 USD, and wouldn't even cover my RE Taxes, for my primary residence when I was there, 23+ yrs ago. Even ฿15k / $415 if adding all the extra coffee shop stops & munching, and still ridiculously low. Also would barely cover that RE Tax now.

Hold on, give me sec ...

What's with all the wind up threads ... ... ridiculously expensive ... Stay in, turn the TV / MSM off, and you won't be so depressed.

Longer than normal heatwave ... not really, only in the MSM. Rains came as they always do, beginning of May. Sometimes end of April. Raining season does include August, for most of the country, so don't be surprised if it rains, or, if it doesn't while here. It's the weather ... always in motion

Just covering their A$$s, as don't want a bunch of people crying if something happens ... "why didn't you warn us ? " If you read all the travel warnings and took them to heart, you'd never leave the USA ... ... hmm ... stay here and spend your money here, comes to mind, as a good motive Remember all the travel warnings for Thailand during elections, protests ... etc Even now, 'remember to mask up & get your shots. Get all those vaccines, as Big Pharm needs more profits. Leave the country, just use common sense ... oops, too late. Goes for all men & woman, and anything in between. Don't go waving your rainbow flag in a Muslim No Go Zone., Or for the chickies, No Hijab or lots of skin showing. White males, leave the USA/NATO flags at home, along with your Star of David t-shirts, or kippahs. Don't see an "Don't travel, save the planet" warnings ... Big Oil needs their profits. Besides, more travel, more carbon tax, and we get to waste more of your hard earned money.

It is budget friendly. Personally never understood funerals. Last thing I would want is a bunch of people around me, trying to console me if wife or kid died. Leave me alone, as got enough to deal with. And what a waste of money. Mother passed, and cremated, no wake, no funeral ... for what ? She was dying of cancer for months, and anyone wanting to say good bye, express thoughts or love had that opportunity. Friend of mine asked 'no wake/funeral'? Why ? Any A-hole who didn't come while she was alive, doesn't deserve to attend a party after she's gone. ON TOPIC ... (as always) ... any one or family member that can afford an international holiday, can afford to pay for their own repatriation. 47 yrs old, should have assets to sell if can afford a holiday. Got life insurance, borrow the money against that. Certainly don't need a GFM to scrape together money for that, if so beloved.

Already posted link ... if it has 2 or 3 wheels, and motorized, it's a motorcycle and need registration. Size of motor is irrelevant. Read the motor vehicle code, available online. Or unofficial translation here.

Not exactly news, just a pro biden editorial biden, no script, no teleprompter ... not a good political move IMHO

Really depends on the situation, and all they are doing is realigning everything where it should be. If that would solve you discomfort/problem, then it's good for you. If not out of alignment, then you won't get much of a positive effect. I've had excellent results, both in USA, and Bangkok. Dr Oat is excellent, at Healing Art Center. He may want you to get X-rays of neck & spine before he'll even touches you.
