I hear long distance buses are ice boxes, like many air lines. True or not?

LINE is always ON. Thais new love is Tik Tok. Thais don't use IDs and Passwords. FB is stone age, was so in the beginning. Still very little space and bad design even after removing 70% of garbage. Same w Skype. The original was great, MS fd up.

Maybe Rompho area has something. ---------------------- They have popular salt coated grilled fish. OR; Try Russian night market at Phratamnak. They have many different fish, even grilled croc!

Only items I get from Big-C are; Fresh Chocolate cakes (-50% cheaper and better than Tops), big bags of mixed nuts (when on sale) and oath meal (English or Irish). - so let the roof fall...

They were busy with this last 3 years; https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/07/02/why-are-bottle-caps-attached-to-the-bottle-inside-the-eu-directive-causing-drink-spills-ev

Pretty clear description but how do know all that? I don't know what my neighbors do... nor am I interested in. I think most come to Thailand, and Asia, to be able live free and the way they want to.

That Okey but Pattaya to DMK is 2500 THB. More than taxi....

My short list; No temple, no church, no hospital, no day care, no school, no fire station, no military, no fast food, no night club, no taxi station

Thank you - that's good info! I just started to learn how to use bus, BTS, Metro etc plus how to get there early from Jomtien to catch flights from DMK.

How fast is regular bus? How early is the first one? Tnx

The trick is to buy slightly used from known nerd who has re-programmed junk out. I did that ( $ 2500 laptop for $450 cash) and it works pretty well except EDGE sheeet uses lot of RAM and you can't delete nor stop it. It over heats now and then. I only use Firefox and very little Chrome. I miss Win98SE.

Love. To my surprise no warranty, guarantee, return or refund... Still worth every THB.

I don't think they hold anything after 9/11. When I book similar trip it says on the ticket "Self service for luggage transfer" or similar. Please, let us know.

These people used to work at Jomtien Immi. Listen to this forum gurus.

All airlines should start to weight passengers WITH luggage. That way the fares would be fair.... Skinny ones could have more luggage.

I don't believe there's any of that. I believe in; https://theflatearthsociety.org/home/index.php

I made to 4% group one year. Just to show off and get my ex and my bean counter off my back.... They always nagged how I spend my time and money foolishly. But I had FUN, I was living my DREAM! Just to have big numbers on account didn't mean much to me. Then I got ulcer twice and near died for bleeding. Started to drink too because I could not sleep. I worked day and night. No sleep. That was it - one year in "4% club" was enough. Actually, I thought it wasn't that difficult. I just didn't know how to manage my time and take care of my health. I went back to old spending ways and happiness returned 😉 In America you can write off many hobbies and trips when you are in business. I has sales to 10+ countries so foreign trips were OK too. I still saved more than most and did great deal on the house. Now am comfortable till I die. For me this is/was possible only in the U S A.

You got it! Playing valley ball half way between Dongtan and Sugar beach. Pleasure to watch.

Nobody who works pays 50% tax on earnings. That for super rich and even them knows loop holes to get half or more back. US used to be cheap to live, like when I moved there in 1979. Way better than any country in the EU. Not so any more. And the way it's getting worse fast is alarming. Like Florida now - no insurance for houses! They are worthless.

Smart! US gives EU to Putin. China invades Taiwan. US gets involved. Sh*t hits the fan.... Good to have home in LOS.

"Did you know Medicare covers outpatient prescription drugs to protect you against viruses like the flu, COVID-19 and HIV? Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers a limited number of outpatient prescription drugs under certain conditions. Usually, Part B covers drugs you wouldn't typically give yourself, like those you get at a doctor's office or in a hospital outpatient setting. Here are some examples of Part B-covered drugs: PrEP medication Shots (vaccinations) Oral cancer drugs" That "Cancer" part is great help, if I need it!

An other scam.... read the bottom line (you may have to reduce down to 80% to see it) Nothing to do with the Government. https://visaguide.world/asia/philippines-visa/who-needs-philippines-visa/

I know, quality cost money. But you also get a lot back. Security, stability etc. NO country in EU ever stalls pension and salary payments etc like the US! I has happened many times. Bunch of selfish crooks spending time and money to prove THEY are in power. Like little kids in sand box. Some are senile and fellow party members are holding them up and guiding finger to press right button....

There are power snakes in Western world you can rent and use by yourself. Try to find in Thailand. they work well. https://www.amazon.com/electric-drain-snake/s?k=electric+drain+snake

I like little rain too, specially at night. Keeps pollution away.
