Actually, I think relocating Israelis would solve the problem once and for all. As it's just a matter of time, before Israel has more land grabs, and people fight back.

US Aid Freeze Linked to Refugee's Death at Thai Border
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
And if USA or it's aid funding never existed ? He just stopped USAID a short time ago. Maybe someone should audit the books and see where the funding went. It's about time the people stopped relying on US tax payer, in debt themselves, to carry the load worldwide. Why does the world expect the USA, to borrow money, they can't pay back, to finance other countries programs. " Sooner or later, you run out of other peoples money " That time is NOW. THANK YOU President Trump. R I P- 154 replies

Age dependent of course, but for same reason anyone would buy instead of rent at anywhere, any time in their life. Build equity, better investment / ROI than renting. I've done very well here, 1st - 2nd - 3rd / present land & house investments. Along with appreciation, 19 or 25 year of being rent free. Rent free without the appreciation is motivation enough. Of course if I got here at 65 or 66 years old, age of most USA retirees, born 1954, then hell no, I wouldn't buy in. As far as the OP, building before owning the land was just plain stupid. The wife should have known that. Even the farang should have had that little bit of common sense.

Another fine example of a funded project. Too funny & sad, if reading correctly. Five year program: $25M allocated $20M not dispersed yet CEO salary $955,000 a year source: https://cepr.net/publications/a-look-at-usaid-spending-in-haiti/

But her foundation via Obama administration did receive USaid funding... ... "USAID Chelsea Clinton receives an annually-recurring funding from USAID, allocated by Obama for her Foundation, which provides afternoon meals to children in Africa, India, and Bangladesh. However, as of today, the reported number of meals served stands at 11,886, implying an astonishing cost of $1,410 per meal." source: https://www.caclubindia.com/money/finance/chelsea-clinton-net-worth/

Smoke signal: Suvarnabhumi sparks smoking rooms outrage
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I peeked in one of those smoking rooms once out of curiosity. Ventilated is a stretch, if it was. Making a bad day at Chiang Mai looking like a breath of fresh air. Literally a fog in there I couldn't stomach someone coming out of that room after a cig or 2, and getting stuck sitting next to their smelly selves on a plane for a few hours, or even a 1 hour hop in country. Would be like staying in a smoker's hotel room, or a car owned by a smoker, even when nobody smoking in it. They really don't know how bad they stink up the place. Nothing is more of a turn off, than when out on the prowl, and a cutie in the bar,, club or a park lights up. -

Also can buy new, as Deco make has a few models, with 1000w motors, LFP battery, starting price ฿28,640 - ฿30,640 https://decogreenenergy.com/index.php/th/ Would definitely be my choice. Take a peek outside the box, may surprise you. -
Thank you President Trump & Elon Musk. Without having the 'books' opened up, and once again, 'free speech' allowed, the masses would still be in 'Ignorant Bliss', though surely half are still in denial, and don't believe any of it. I'm only surprised about some of the info coming out. Directly subsidizing news venues, and have to admit, didn't see that one coming ... Certain explains the BS and the intense investigative journalism during the biden years ... ... "what kind of ice cream is that ? "

People do have choices ... and your choice is ? We chose BEVs and most electrons from solar, unless O&A and overnighting somewhere. Which case, most energy from natural gas in TH. Not perfect, but a work in progress, away from using more polluting materials. Not that the planet needs saving. Just my hard earned money saved. OK, that's a stretch, as nothing hard about that. Choices ... ... give away to conglomerates ... spend on yourself

Solar panels fail after 3 years!
KhunLA replied to BritManToo's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
That's not going to help their sales -
Obviously it's location dependent, from reading other threads. I only need yellow book Ior Cert. of Residence, if not having), and my Passport to get ID, along with address changes to it. I got mine at 60+ yrs old, so would expect same paperwork to renew. Why not just pop into local office and ask ? Would have been answered by now, especially since 'location dependent'. Really can't answer what your amphur office might require.

FB Marketplace should have some with low prices. Probably by my first source for MB shopping -
Solar panels fail after 3 years!
KhunLA replied to BritManToo's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Note to self ... stay clear of BlueTech if future plans for more solar THANKS -
Anywhere in TH would work for me, if single, and or looking for a relationship. Avoiding smog is a priority for myself, so it would be probably be Chumphon or lower. Happy where we are, North of Chumphon, but South of Hua Hin, and close enough to Bangkok, to visit daughter. Only real considerations are, if you're a fan of P4P, then that limits your choices, on a convenience level. Or if having a lot of western food options is a priority, especially if you don't cook at home. You want metro, urban or rural living, no prob. You want hills or surf, no prob. TH has it all. Didn't you leave already ???

With our purifiers on, we keep the PM2.5 <5 most of the time. Sometimes need the ACs to assist with that, sometimes not. Only have 2 Xiaomi purifiers, and they handle 105m² with no problem. House is fairly new build and pretty airtight. Have a PM2.5 stand alone meter, and fairly accurate. The air purifiers will auto cycle up & down at times, when happy with PM2.5.

Trump 2.0 -- Exponentially more damaging than Trump 1.0
KhunLA replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
-
Since most (ethanol, hydrogen, propane, LPG, and methano) have been around for decades, and not progressed much, except for hydrogen, and that is just a Toyota distraction tactic, as impractical for personal vehicles. Been pushed for a bout 20+ yrs and gotten nowhere. Where as BEV are being mass produced and taking over the market, with improvements every year.

Smoke signal: Suvarnabhumi sparks smoking rooms outrage
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I prefer my tax dollars / baht, not to be used to support unhealthy activity, that may eventually lead to health problems, which again, will cost tax money to treat. I know making people sick and the making profit treating them is big business, but prefer my dollars / baht is spent doing both. You want to kill yourself, do it away from me, and on you one dime, sip baht.
