That's cool ... when will the rest of the world join in. Like this ... "He began the farm soon after he retired for two simple reasons: his wife wanted a farm, and he loves his wife."

Something changed with the fuel?!
KhunLA replied to problemfarang's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The price advantage of using E85 is dwindling fast. 24 Jan 2022 ... 25 % cheaper than 91 Now only 13.5 % And diesel 14+ % more expensive, since froze at 30 ???? Do they really think everyone is that blind -
House, townhouse, condo ... what would be the difference ? Living in townhouse now, rental, no worries. Lived in 2 detached homes, rentals, one next to apartment complex, no worries. Lived in 2 rural detached houses, no worries. Moving in next month, a detached house, rural again, no worries. Haven't had an issue yet. Non-metro or tourist areas. Though still plenty of crime around, petty theft & such. Not something I'm concerned about, as anything can be replaced. As long as I'm not home, the thieves are safe ... ????

Yea, unless designed to run on E85, no benefit might be realized. In a short period of time, I think all grades E85 & 91/95 will be the same. Noticed they dropped 91 & 95 by 3 baht, but only dropped E85 by 1,8 baht. Continue that, and they'll be priced the same shortly. Scamming, price gouging F's ... come on EV, can't get here quick enough. Good thing they froze diesel at 30 ... -
If you want to waste time & energy .... ????

If don't have a microwave, this would be you next option, and really impossible to screw things up when steaming. First link I saw, might find one locally: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/legend-4-pan-non-stick-i1586378270-s4303438775.html?exlaz=d_1:mm_150050845_51350205_2010350205::12:16450510680!!!!!c!!4303438775!145244106&gclid=CjwKCAjwq5-WBhB7EiwAl-HEkieqh6u1rfK5wJL85ojCPjZhPBGCZqTkRI6nXSBwgsoF2BtKl4SZMhoC8ecQAvD_BwE

The time starts at the last 'payment' (?) ... "The statue of limitations in Thailand states that commercial debts need to be recovered within 2 years of delivery. Loans need to be recovered within 10 years" https://www.aaacoth.com/thailand-debt-collection/#:~:text=The statue of limitations in,ensure you get your cash. In the USA, as always, 50 state, 50 sets of rules. Some states can take your house for a $1 debt (force sale to collect), why many banks are registered in DE, use to be able to charge highest CC interest rate. PA, where I always kept an address, nobody but the Fed Govt can garnish your income, or force a sale of your home to collect, an unsecured debt (CC). Of course if they find the 'asset', ex: car, then they can repo it. Secured loan, bank can foreclose on you home or car, have you evicted, then sell to recover. Cars routinely get repo'd if found.

Sorry to disappoint, but my Nike were 'Made in Thailand', along with my damn expensive sandals. Comfy though. Wife makes all my clothes ... so no slave/sweat shop labor there, though she may disagree. Home built with mostly Thai materials & labor. Possibly all, as I don't read labels for materials. For appliances, I'm an Electrolux fan, and factories in Thailand, so don't go there. LG & ASUS, so Korea & Taiwan for those. Solar & new car will be Chinese, though the battery ESS is Thai (assembled at least). No options with those, for same quality & price, and surely they weren't made/assembled with slave labor. Try again .... ????

I left USA, because of their governance, for TH, yea, let that one sink in, and TBH, if AQI was better in China, I would have seriously considered retiring there instead of here. Buy one of them tinker cars for more than 1/2 price off that they sell here for ... beep beep Though Thailand is a nice place to wind down the years, and close enough to China for the benefits of good trading partners. Far better than any other place I can think of in Asia or EU. Beside, TH can feed itself, if it ever hits the fan.

Not the house, but the land they are sitting on. Construction, materials and wages up a bit, but nothing like the 'asking' prices of land. Also location location location, village land prices up a bit, but nothing like metro or tourist area prices. If you don't mind having 'attached' neighbors, why not a townhouse as opposed to a condo ? More bang for your baht per m², no perks, by no association fees either, or controls.

You don't have to go at all, unless you want a 'residence letter' from Imm. Your landlord will file a TM30. Just make sure you are both on the same 'page/date' so he doesn't get fined anywhere down the line for not reporting timely, within 24 hrs of your lease. Simply enough.

Agree, and there is literally, nothing they can do. After a certain time period, she will not even be obligated to repay the debt. Technically, they wouldn't even be able to continue to harrass her trying to recover the debt. Wife went through this, due to ex's bills she co-signed for. I researched the law, told her what to tell them/creditors, and they gave up, knowing she wasn't ignorant of the law. She has assets now, they couldn't touch if they tried.

It would make for an interesting trip. Especially if they could actually maintain a 200 ish kph speed, safely. -
Ghislaine Maxwell appeals sex trafficking conviction and sentence
KhunLA replied to Scott's topic in World News
She's been silenced. Guessing she has records tucked away safely, IMHO, and the only reason she is still alive. -
Years past maybe, as they filled in most of the canals, hence part of their yearly flooding problem. Still have a few major canals though, and a great day out visiting all the markets along them. Always try to visit one with every visit to Krung Thep. Make it really interesting, and if possible, take the bus to or from, and a boat the other direction. I doesn't get much better. https://www.google.co.th/maps/search/floating+market+locations+bangkok/@13.7421492,100.3568747,11z/data=!3m1!4b1

A few of y'all need to unplug from MSM. Thailand & China together ... how would that ever be a bad thing. ... Make enemies with the worlds #1 manufacturing country ???? ... Top tech and producer of alternative energy components for home and vehicles. Compare prices here for solar & EVs to your home country. ... Top supplier of raw materials so Taiwan can make all those components, chips that keep the world functioning. Without China the cost of everything would be way beyond what you are all crying about now.

Cost of living higher than minimum wage, says commerce ministry
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
350 a day X 23 days a month = ฿8k Excuses excuse, barring an unexpected oops, I find people make their own way, and succeed quite well when applying themselves. Others that wait for something to happen ... oh well
