  1. When I'm O&A, if no or slow, I just 'hotspot' phone to laptop. Since I rarely use my phone for internet, start the month with 10gb + 10gb from previous month. Really hard for me to use 20gb when O&A.
  2. For every $1000 (USD), that's ฿8140 more today/per month, than the low of Feb 2021. That amount will make or break some folks from qualifying for a visa, using direct deposit, and why so many left TH, when embassies stopped issuing unverified income statement.
  3. Just ability to use marriage visa if a bit skint or under 50 yrs old. No other advantage comes to mind. Possibly some parental/visitation rights if having a kid together. But TBH, if family doesn't want you around, then there is your safety to worry about. Same with any imagined usufruct rights to remain in a house you paid for. I'm happily married for the 4th time ????, though I did advise my daughter, to NEVER get married is she wants to be happy.
  4. And the US has the largest oil reserves ... along with record profits for Big Oil NO KISS ... NO KY
  5. One of best progressing tech ever. Can carry you phone, instant telegraph, computer, scanner, newspaper, camera better than most point & shoots, all your maps, GPS, compass, encyclopedia, weather report all in a hand held device. What's not to like ... lets be honest, is it really that different ? Or just easier, and cleaner.
  6. Thanks for posting, as something to pay attention to. See if they change the plug for the TH deliveries from China. Or dealer are made award and offer to replace. Allow to, without warranty issues.
  7. I prefer the space over amenities. After 1st month, probably wouldn't use the pool anyway. Security was never an issue. Depending where, restaurants always same distance away. Price per m² for townhouse or detached a major plus. 120m² condo are silly priced, and could buy something in 5-10 yrs of rent price ... relative of course. I would need minimum 80m² to be comfy, and that would be a lot of wasted money, better spent buying/building. All a bit relative, as OP didn't mention location, and make a huge difference.
  8. Everyone I know, knew, would rather be doing something else, somewhere else ... ... IF they could afford to. Salaried jobs, way too many, and a few I quite liked, but if not being paid, I wouldn't have been there. Self employed, a few 'businesses', enjoyed all, but when not needing the money, I stopped. If I have to be anywhere at any time, that infringes on my freedom to be doing what I want to do, even if it's just chillin', then I don't want to be there or do it. Nobody can pay me enough to be on a schedule, if I don't need the money. Only worked when I had to, no matter if I enjoyed it. Could always think of something better to be doing.
  9. It's all cost per m², and what is considered an apartment. How much space do you need, or security or lack of are you comfortable with. Going to need or use the amenities, gym/pool ? I personally wouldn't rent either, and go with a townhouse, since having neighbors anyway. Usually way cheaper and more m².
  10. At least it was still running. Maybe they were thinking about scooping any water inside out (on camera) or wait till getting elsewhere. Re-watching, hard to tell how long those missing segments are, and if running the whole time. See someone posted the MG ZS EV is IP ? and might make it thru like the Tesla, but no way would I drive any vehicle, I liked, thru water like that or even close to the bottom of the car. ZS ground clearance is only 17cm, so I might drive thru 10cm of water, but no more. Can't think of any reason why I would even consider anything deeper, whether it can or not.
  11. Aside from renegotiating to meet BM2 transfer thoughts, get a lawyer to tell you exactly what the FIL signed. What he is stating does sound illegal, and surely not in writing. People need to read the loan agreements very carefully. My daughter's mortgage is written in a way, that it would never be paid off in her life time. Builder/bank offered low 'grab in' interest based on 30 yr amortization ... BUT ... needs to be refinanced every 3 yrs, for another 30 yrs, if using them again. That's just silly. as I worked the present #s, and at the end of 30 yrs, she would still owe half the mortgage amount, instead of being paid off. We'll finance it after the first 3 yr contract expires, and with the rent income, and extra 10k toward principle, she'll own it < 11 yrs later. So a 14 yr mortgage, renters paying ~66% of it. She has a 'free-ish' house, or enough income to almost live on. https://www.mortgagecalculator.org/calculators/what-if-i-pay-more-calculator.php#top
  12. Carrier also, and a big seller in Thailand as less expensive compared to Mitsu, with same excellent reputation. You'll see the 'ground' units, square-ish vs rectangle and wall hang-abe units. They may also have a heat pump unit in conjunction with the cooling unit, depending on model.
  13. You really can't fix stupid. If you know you have to drive thru water, every so often, but a vehicle made for it. Only the Tesla & Land Rover made it thru unscathed.
  14. https://tesla.info/en/benefits-of-heating-your-home-with-inverter-ac-units/
  15. We don't get cold spell down here / PKK. When in Udon Thani, 'cool' season ... went outside and enjoyed it. Especially when dipped into low teens or even 10° for that 1 week maybe ???? Great snuggling weather.
  16. He's lucky gays only by MGs. His reputation is in tack. Very gay, as opposed to a little bit pregnant. Thanks for quoting, I really should un-ignore some folks, as probably missing a good chuckle now & then.
  17. One reason why only buy new. Why we waited till 2012 to buy new car, as well after 2011 floods, and the new models come out late. So no worry of being one of the new ones that were flooded, seen in news-blips
  18. Lower PKK, Chumphon, Surat Thani (not Samui), Phang Nga, NST ... self explanatory, as just lovely. Few tourist & expats. Krabi also, but not Ao Nang. Phuket when not too many tourist & expat there. During covid, the beaches were well worth the drive. May give it another visit, depending on returning numbers, but what I've seen so far, too many already have returned. For short visit & big city vibe, Krung Thep, but not the tourist slums, unless a SoHo pizza fix.
  19. Did you actually read that ? All theory, no proof, and nothing linking it to MMCC or MMGW. Even states, no increased numbers of. 'Possibly stronger' but they've only been keeping records for so long. Since most areas not that inhabited pre-1900 ... then nobody knows. All guess work to perpetuate 'their' opinion. And it is an opinion piece based on 9 yr study. Simple problems have simple solutions ... don't live in tornado/hurricane/flood zones. You can't fix stupid
