  1. I've never stayed there, but my mate took a look at the rooms and was his first pick until his plans changed. The bar and kitchen are also really good with great service. If you ask for a microwave, they will probably find you one. On Buakhao, noise can be an issue if the room faces the street, especially if there's a live music venue nearby. Rooms facing the back are usually quieter.
  2. I've never met a teenager yet that I wanted to come live with me. But that's just me.
  3. "Although it’s a misconception that prostitution is legalized in Thailand due to popular perception and how openly it is promoted, Thai laws are very much against it. Neither prostitution nor solicitation is legal in Thailand, and there are serious consequences for taking part in it. " https://siam-legal.com/travel-to-thailand/fines-and-penalties-for-soliciting-prostitution-in-thailand/#:~:text=Laws Concerning Prostitution,and classifies prostitution as illegal.
  4. Patong, where Soi Sixers beyond their sell-by date go to retire.
  5. As innocent as the aging Lothario's that barfine them?
  6. Who? The 'bar caretaker' who changed his story?
  7. Are you, or have you ever been, a parent?
  8. It obviously takes a genius to know one... As my wife says, "Tucker who?"
  9. I am married, been here forever and have used marriage extensions and retirement extensions. Most recently, I used the 1-year multi-entry Non-O (spouse) from Savanakhet. With both passports needing renewing within the next 4 months, I have been taking advantage of the current 60-day visa-exempt entry. After I renew the passports, I will be looking at a long-term visa. I am out of the country about 6-8 months of the year on regional offshore work, with my contracts assigned out of a global agency's Perth WA office. I don't work in Thailand. I am not sure if I would qualify for the DTV under the 'workation' but as a working professional based in Thailand, maybe it's feasible? Although I'm British and my contracts are issued out of Australia, it may be possible for the visa support letter to be issued by their UK office. I would apply while I am in the UK, just after my passport renewal. Possible?
  10. There's refurbished corporate Lenovo ThinkCentre's on lazada from about 3000 baht to 5000 baht, depending on the model and CPU. www.lazada.co.th/products/mini-pc-lenovo-thinkcentre-m700-cpu-core-i5-6400t-i4705541447-s19397772930.html I'm in Udon Thani and bought a similar i5 ThinkCentre M700 for 3000 baht from a reseller at Tukcom, our local IT plaza. It came with W10. I replaced the HDD with an SSD, added a Wifi/Bluetooth dongle.

  12. I was offshore being paid in USD when Truss's "lettuce" administration and Kwarteng's disastrous budget. I was around +11% on my final invoicing paid in the UK which also translated as more baht for my £ over here.
  13. Yes, they would prefer a weaker baht. What we are seeing is natural, short-term forex attrition, therefore they don't need to manipulate anything, so no need for a "helping hand" (yet).
  14. As Spock would intone, "Illogical Captain."
  15. My house was built over 15 years ago and 'future-proofed' with coax distribution, but nobody ever hooked up to it. The internet and cable guys always wanted to drill holes and run their own stuff. So much for future-proofing in Isaan. I would give PLC a try but as mentioned earlier,
  16. Yes, I agree. Having great gobs of money, and doling it out, makes everyone honest and happy.
  17. Yes, I agree. If a truly honest president had been elected, it would have, could have been sooooo much better.
  18. Correct. The way I understand it, the "from overseas" only applies to those renewing an extension using the proof of monthly income method.
  19. The (lying and deceitful bought-and-paid-for) mainstream media are commenting on how QUIET Donald Trump has been in the three days since winning the election. By all accounts, he's QUIETLY holed up a Mar-a-Lago apparently with classical music heard streaming from the grounds. In contrast, on aseannow...
  20. Yep. Anybody with half a handle on the basic conspiracy theories will be running with this, like a daft dog chasing a car.
  21. And then you posted, and the dumbness quotient simply skyrocketed.
