Yes one known case out of over 60 million people. It is difficult when presented with this situation and definitely takes an organized, dedicated, and capable group to support someone disabled.

Not sure about Luck. They are impressive with their ability to track, predict and intersect another bugs path. They can also move in many directions quickly. They do eat mosquitoes.

If it is latex paint you can use very warm water, dish soap and test a small area with the scouring part of the Scotch-brite sponge. The remaining should be removed by wiping with warm soapy water and using an old plastic credit card. Those old plastic credit cards are quite handy and generally allow you to remove stuff like paint off of laminate floors, tiles, or baseboards without damage.

I left the key in a rented motorbike inadvertently 4 times before Thailand was fully back open. Needless to say I purchased a transponder key motorbike that beeps when I leave it not fully turned off.

Maybe because even in the US there are reports of Law Enforcement, and other public servants taking items from people's homes. I saw the one video when the camera was left on by accident and they were going through draws and boxes. I do Not think it is common but would understand if Police were alerted of valuables missing.

As a landlord I use the Maintenance card to access and inspect my properties. Especially after a month or two. Sorry but if the house has little importance or value to you then others will certainly pick up on this and take advantage of you. It is in the lease they are to maintain the property be keeping it clean.

Yep, Thais believe foreigners are walking ATM's. I have loaned a family military officer money that I thought I would never see again. Months past repayment deadline I gave him one month before I went to the base to talk with his CO. Debt was repaid. Another paid back 15%. I told them they are a fool that I am going to be with her a long time and they will never see a baht from me again. Another payment was made after a couple weeks. I am going to tell them I can always take her to the US. Good Luck with any money then. I would rather teach them how to fish instead of keep buying fish. I keep hearing the house thing and buy lottery tickets, if she wins lottery she can build house. I will tell them if they are not happy with the situation then they need to do what I did. Work hard, save, invest, compound the money, and continue to live below your income.

Cheap Massages Affordable transportation. Scooter cheap to buy, maintain and run. Affordable Restaurants Efficient modern tech appliances. Inverter cooktop, R32 Inverter Mini Split Affordable Housing. Thai people. Seems in the US finding someone that wants to work, will work hard, and will help a customer is becoming more and more difficult. Most Thai people are not Narcissists.

Jomtien immigration has improved. You need to look at it from Immigration view point. They deal with endless clueless people, some getting angry with them. First couple times maybe stressful but good to take a Thai and try to understand paperwork and process. I will smile, thank them and do my happy dance for the life in Thailand I'm allowed.

I renewed back in January 2023 via online option and send passport via EMS it took 3 weeks to receive

A good amount of Thai people do not know how to swim. I taught girlfriends child so hopefully this will not happen. Additionally he can now teach other friends how to swim. Condolences to family and friends of the deceased. Man probably came for Holiday and good time and the worst happened.

Definitely need to understand the hierarchical structure of road traffic. Motorbike is just above bicycle and pedestrian. But below everything else. Having high self preservation and awareness will help a lot. I generally am always checking looking for what is the greatest threat to me on a motorbike. My condolences to the friends and family, always sad to read when someone passes suddenly.

Yes I noticed the vendors gone out front also. They removed the ping pong on floor 6 after the light remodel also. I believe an executive visited recently and these items didn't present a clean, organized, and aesthetic pleasing image for the mall.

As someone mentioned talk with a trusted lawyer. My understanding is if the owner of the house or condo dies the Usufruct remains in effect till the expiration. I read the post about trust but my understanding is trust are not recognized in Thailand. Definitely see the value in hiring qualified lawyer to help and guide you through making sure the correct, process, paperwork and procedure is followed to assist with achieving the desired result.

I am no expert but looked at if someone died without will and it would be dispursed to the owners statutory heirs. There is an order like children, parents, brothers/sisters. I'm working on having us make wills that specifically detail what is to happen with the property. My understanding is you have take the completed wills to the local amphur to record. The will should be made according to Thai law and standards.

Sadly the table tennis on 6th floor of Central Festival Mall has been closed. It is a seating area with paddles removed from wall and Beach Play painted over. They were remodeling the mall and the table tennis area looked dirty, and did not fit the aesthetics of the surrounding area.

Funny story, borrowed girlfriends daughters car and neighbors Chicken attacked the bumper with a bunch of light scratches. Took it to care detailing shop with high speed orbital polisher and they charged me 500 baht for whole bumper. It came out great. Unfortunately the bumper showed how much Work the rest of the cars paint needed.
