I'd recommend GICA by TestSealabs. They work with saliva and are approved in Thailand.

Yeah, I was just reacting to @BritManToo comment that girls in Asia always come to him. I say he day dreams a lot ????

All governments are toxic, and frankly, not driving the car you want to drive if you can afford it, just because of not “paying tax to a toxic government” is pretty foolish. Lets say you had no job and this government offered you one. Would you take it or starve to death because the “government is toxic”? Let me guess, you are a Democrat. I am not even American and I can’t stand those self entitled American republicans. But you democrats can also be spotted from miles away…

Dreams are healthy.

While I agree with what you've written. Nowadays iPhones not always are more expensive than their Android counterparts. So for someone who is not tech-savvy enough, using an iPhone may be more hassle free, and the cost will be similar to that Huawei he is using. That was all I meant, as an advise, maybe next time choose an iPhone.

Still better than having to worry about malware that can potentially steal a ton of personal & confidential info about you. Such vulnerabilities in iOS, while they do exist, they cost and knowledge needed to exploit them is way bigger. A script kiddie even could hack your Android if you are fool enough to open something he fooled you into opening. Unlike iOS Android has no measures to stop an app you've allowed to run from stealing your data (like iOS has the sandbox or entitlements). You gotta know your stuff, buddy.

BS, I am yet to see any strategy at all which is successful in beating the market over a long period of time. Trading, no matter cryptos, stocks, options, is gambling + a good dose of luck. And it tends to happen that the more you know the less you make trading. No matter what you trade, if you do trade at all, never risk more than you can afford losing. That IS financial advise.

Things that you don't have to worry about if you use an iPhone....

500 THB is peanuts... pay it and hopefully they'll use that money to fix potholes in certain roads.

Do you think the same when you eat pizza? Cuz cheese here in Thailand is about double of what it costs in the West. No, right? Because the difference between $1.5 to $3 in the price of cheese for making a pizza is peanuts to you. So you couldn't care less about it. Well, what makes you think the difference between $50,000 and $100,000 that say a Mercedes C43 AMG could cost here vs the USA isn't peanuts to a lot of people?

Id happily have a go at that Porsche with my daily driver. Aka a proper 6.29L V8 Mercedes E63 ???? Back in May, I think I could hear the owner of a Porsche Panamera 4S (not the turbo s) crying after a highway pull from 80 to 160…

Didn't know this happened only in Thailand. Must be that in farangland such things never happen...

You can buy online in Lazada for like 40THB/test.

Yes but a face mask costs nothing to acquire, so it’s not wonder they wear it. A helmet however useful, costs more than many make in a month!

I've wanted to do LASIK for a time now. But then I realized a lot of ophthalmologists, young and old, wear glasses. Why would this be?

It will be extended because the land borders are still closed. So it is necessary.

Buy a Thailand Elite Visa and apply for Test & Go after Feb 1st. Quarantine free. Thailand Elite is the universal way to stay long term in Thailand hassle free. Of course, according to your personal situation (marriage, retirement, work, etc...) there may be other ways which dont require paying as much upfront. But I have no idea of your personal circumstances, so I can only suggest something universal.

I'm sure if you went ahead and bought helmets for them. they would wear them! You are comparing a face mask worth 5 THB (and sometimes even gifted away) with a helmet (which even the worse quality ones will be in the hundredths of baht).

Because it’s safer that the usufruct is tied to the developer rather than some random Thai or even a lawyer.

Yes, there are also millions of people out there who smoke and are still living - even disease free. Doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous, right? Specially if you are new to Thailand, first time riding here it’s a suicide…

That's not correct information https://thaiconsulatela.org/en/visa/visa-type/non-immigration-category-o-a/ Your visa doesn't get extended every time you enter Thailand. You have to extend it (not the visa, but rather your permission to stay based on your visa) yourself by going to immigration.

是从签发日期一年。不是从你入境泰国日期一年。 (It is one year from the date of issue of the visa. Not one year from the date you enter Thailand) https://thaiconsulatela.org/en/visa/visa-type/non-immigration-category-o-a/

No idea. But I import a lot of stuff from China (including car parts - not so long a Mercedes alternator), which also has a free trade agreement with Thailand, and I never got charged tax to begin with. A free trade agreement means you directly don't get charged. It's not like first you get charged and then they return it or something alike. You will need to check the free trade agreement with Malaysia in case it doesn't include car suspension parts or whatever.

AIS is the fastest and works well in the cities, also the most expensive. True I've never used them. DTAC I found has the best coverage around Thailand, though is also a tiny bit slower in speed compared to AIS. I've been using them for several years and I'm very happy.
