If & when I start falling over 900mm walls, I'll start having a bit of empathy for those folks falling off balconies. Seriously, how do you fall off a balcony ? Medical episode ? Who's guessing now ? And alcohol is a drug.

Yes, but I can't be bothered, as I thought my reply was self explanatory. Since I neither pay taxes nor have a student loan, anything that happens over there doesn't really concern me with exception of COLA & exchange rate. 2024 BIDEN 2024 OK, I'll answer a wee bit. They took on the debt voluntarily, not different than someone buying a car or house. Why should their debt be forgiven, and not others. Thought that was easily explained before. Everyone is living in the same economic times, deal with it. Enough with the hand outs. Apparently the SCOTUS agrees with that sentiment. Just accept it.

Shy of 1/2 meter, that's long to me when trying to park. TR - 5600 (?) wheelbase of 2585mm

If they did already, must have worked ???? just has a heavy thunderstorm pass through ... nice light show with it. Windy.com estimating about an 1"/2.5cm of rain of late, 10 ish days, which makes sense as we have 2 tank almost full up, shy of 4000L. That's about right for about 150m² of roof.

That's one of things I like about the ZS, only 4323mm long. Really looks short when parked next to a Fortuna ???? About the only thing I didn't care for with the EP, as 4544mm long. Aside from that, they had similar specs and EP being ฿180k cheaper. What a bargain ????

Spec (charging) not much different from MGs (EP, ES, MG4, ZS), so should accept any universal charging cable. Got to be cheaper than ฿25k On LAZ from ฿9k & up

Every large metro is an assembly of neighborhoods, with the good and bad. Most good thankfully with few exception. GreekTown was cool in the Detroit Metro. I lived in Wayne for a long winter, a real sh!thole, but minutes from the airport where I worked. Used to go to Ann Arbor / Uni town, for fun, and a great place. Hard to beat the Uni neighborhoods for fun nights out.

IMHO ... also the 14th Amendment for mandating covid vaccines.

I appreciate negative reviews, as a heads up, and taken with a grain of salt. Usually read the negative ones, mostly, after a few glaring ... "OMG-must try" reviews. Photos are more important, and # of reviews. Most times LAZ & TA reviews are totally useless...IMHO. Gmap being my main research tool.

A reply last Saturday from newnative put the thought back in my mind. I think the only 3 or 4 provinces I haven't visited yet. Every time I think about it, I talk myself out of it. Such as last month, while on Phuket ???? I like 'less travelled' and all the photos I see of, look nice. We easily self entertain ... and finding a good beef massaman & roti shop would simply be a plus. A few snaps of birds that don't get much further N would be real nice. Add to my collection.

for those curious, balcony height: ... 900mm (TH), average male ht: 171.61cm ... 1100mm (UK). average male ht: 178.21cm So not to get deleted ... IMHO (actually the regulation, feel free to Google) male ht

That's a case by case scenario. I'm buying a house, car, motorcycle & other toys whether in a relationship of not, and had before current wife. Always had before my relationships, with 1 exception. If we get along and 'I want to share these', then fine. If not, there's plenty others that will or I'll stay single, as makes not difference to me. I don't do P4P, in any aspect of it. I'll share with a like minded person though. Don't know what that has to do with tourist going to the same ol'. You might want to read the thread topic.

One solution ... stop harboring the terrorist and report them to the police/army Come together and stop living in fear. Help the army rid the terrorist. No quarter, no place to hide, make it dangerous to be terrorist. They are extremist, and don't only attack military targets, or non Muslims. They kill anyone, any religion, Muslims included, school kids, teachers, doctors, vendors/store owners (if doing business on Friday) as I read about that one, and just silly, religious fanatics. Spoils of war, history, get over it. It's part of TH, accept or leave, rather go back to Malaysia.

I have, and simply need to word it correctly. You could even make it comical ... with praise. ... thank you for not supplying toiletries, as we travel with our own. ... thank you not changing the soiled sheets/bed covering, as we travel with a top sheet. ... thank you not providing water to drink. ... so glad your restaurant had very small portions, as my spouse is overweight. ... thank you for not providing a lift. ... as all these keep your overhead low, and we didn't mind paying just a bit more than the other hotel that do provide those extras, as we only like walking up the 5 floors of steps, instead of using the elevator, for needed exercise.

Obviously, if you're falling off a balcony, your judgement was impaired. Simply using A/B levels for a DUI, would be sufficient to deny...IMHO As they are set, for the limit of judgement and or reaction time while driving. Above the limit, and you'd be considered 'impaired.' And that limit isn't very high, so yea, if you sip a few on holiday, skip the travel ins.

hmm ... maybe I'll wait till next year/rainy season to go south. See how the withdraw of military plays out vs increased terrorist activity.

too many variables, not enough info, to access the situation and give advise. Assuming some major property damage done and on vid. And you/friend think if not arrested/jailed/deported, offender could become very violent toward you/friend and cause serious, bodily harm. Can't see complaint about property damage getting someone immediately jailed without bail or deported without court date, so they would be out, and free to retaliate if wanting. Are you prepared for that ? That's your answer, a question only you can answer.

If nothing is sprouting, or the smell isn't off, it's fine to me. Nothing last that long in our frig. Especially with a dog in the house. 3-7 days would be a ballpark idea, depending what it is. Our problem is fruits & veggies, uncooked, as they seem to turn fast here.

As someone already stated, people aren't as generous, if alcohol induced accident. They may decide to give their funds to someone that didn't contribute to their situation.

I'm not buying the 'balcony's fault' either. Hard to believe people still blame the balcony, as yet to encounter one that I thought was too low, and I'm far from from short or tall, 175cm. A few with shaky railings I wouldn't trust, but nothing I'd come close to falling over. You're on a balcony, you use caution, you're crossing the street, you use caution. Those 2 'accidents' are simply too easily avoidable. Only construction issue I have, is width/depth of steps, some quite shallow for a size 12/44 to walk down, and I need to step sideways ... a lot, or I'd slip off the edge of the steps. That's worldwide though, a bit more so here.

"Hua Hin, Pran Buri, Mueang District, Sam Roi Yot, Thap Sakae, Bang Saphan District, and Bang Saphan Noi." So Kui Buri appears to be getting plenty of rain ????

You really never heard of the monkeys @ Lopburi ? Best to be avoided, as they've taken over, and take 'aggressive' to a whole new level.

Almost had an oops the other day, on scooter, coming out of local park, about to cross 'one way' lanes to the over pass lanes, also one way. Looked left anyway, nothing suppose to be there and there wasn't, then looked right for oncoming, 1 scooter, it pass, then I proceeded. Food delivery guy blew by me from the left ... WTF ... you A-hole. I stopped just as I started, and about 1 meter from collision. Then thought to myself ... WTF ... you A-hole, how could you not look again before proceeding. I know better. That was a close one, as probably spooked him as much as me. He had no time to react, if I continued. Be Safe ... look, then look again, and a 3rd time would never hurt

Doesn't take much of a guess. Falling off a balcony is not the easiest thing to do. BUT ... add a slab of beer, and it apparently is quite common with tourist. Not a whole lot of reasons left to deny a claim. Agree with others, it really is silly to have travel ins, at that age, on holiday, as myself, would always have alcohol in my system. From sipping with meals, to full on party mode while on holiday. It's simply what you do when a youngin, or what many expats continue to do in retirement/end of life, never ending holiday. Best escape clause there is for denying claims, and doesn't even have to be a high A/B limit, as a few beers would put you over any 'driving' limit. Can't fault the ins companies, simply good business, and protects themselves. If any of us were underwriting the policy, yea, you'd have an A/B limit clause in it also.
