I hope the guy above you who was sitting on his balcony having a beer is Ok 🤣

Comment retracted.

Heart stress test

I think you are just locked up like anyone else. You are subject to the countries laws while here. People are so wigged out by nationality here they think there is a different set of laws for each person.

Someone said before that the 200 baht a day thing was only for Thai's and not applicable to foreigners.

Deposit gets returned minus the days it takes you to re-rent the unit. Time starts from the day they canceled. Price used to deduct off days is the amount they agreed to rent it for. Waste of time doing things is not chargable, that's your choice.

Those are vacation units with tiny floorplans, not permanent residences. AirBNB is what they should be!

According to this it could be the tap water I'm using. I don't think it's natural browning because it seems to be happening too quickly to be natural, even though there are new sprouts coming in that are all green. I will try adding some compost to the soiless mix because it does fell a little dry and not very rich. The roots may have a problem growing into the mix somehow since it's not very dense. I will also start using water from the drinking water machine instead of tap water. https://bloomscape.com/common-issue/why-are-the-tips-of-my-palm-turning-brown/#:~:text=Both too much and too,excess water from the saucer.

Not sure what you're going on about. This is Venice Beach in Los Angeles, CA.

It's due to inflation. Most people in the Usa live paycheck to paycheck with minimal savings at right about or slighly more then they can afford. Even a small increase in inflation causes homelessness to spike.

Seems like people pop off shortly before midnight here, then all goes quiet quickly. In the Usa it's all quiet right up to the stroke of midnight, then increases after midnight 🤷🏻‍♂️. Feels like they want to be the last one to pop off, instead of the first one.

In my experience they figure the worst possible case scenario and it's up to you to refuse any treatments (vs a place in the Usa, for example, that would screen out low probability conditions and not test for those, or not bother with a treatment for something that would just clear on it's own 95% of the time). Kind of like going in for something minor and getting every possible test for something it could be related to. What should be done is the doctor should screen from experience and kind of know what should be treated, rather then just treating every possibility even if it has a small chance of being the cause. The intubation thing may not be "needed", but rather something that's being extremely careful. Thus they ask for permission. So the family asks is it really required? Well, yes. It's required if it's ultimately needed, even if the chance is rare. That sort of thing. What you need is a doctor that makes those decisions on their own with professional competence from experience.

So you're blaming it on the weather 🤣

To be blunt, if they are coming from a more affluent country it's people that are running out of money and/or were not successful in that home country for some reason. Everything you could have in Thailand is available in the better country if you can afford it. You will hear every excuse under the sun as to why people don't think that applies to them. Don't overthink it and make it more complicated then it needs to be.

Because I don't think it matters. Maybe mention age in case it's an elderly person who can't move quick or something.. Otherwise it's just someone crossing the street. Skin color likely does not matter either.

My plant is unhealthy. See all those brown areas on the leaves? Is that something to do with the soil or lack of water? I am using a living soiless mix for the soil.

Lots of potential retirees, if they have not traveled a lot, have a postcard notion of quiet secluded tropical islands in Asia. I just wanted to point out that it has not been my experience in general, with a few memorable exceptions. The vast majority of the time I have been in crowded noisy areas and privacy is at a premium.

Finances, Retirement Visa & infrastructure. If you know of a better option let me know.

If that were true you would never do anything. Thailand is a crowded place.

Don't ever take directions from another vehicle or a pedestrian. That's how a lot of accidents happen. They are nothing but moving objects that you are moving around. If they interact with you, you just say nothing and wait until it's clear.

Why do they need to mention someone's nationality in every story?

Hello. Somebody please help me...

Eating meat is always negative.

I just let them bag it, then put the bag back on the counter and say nothing. I got tired of it, and enjoy putting the bag back now, knowing they will have to deal with it a second time. Causes twice the work so eventually won't be worth it for them. At least it's not me throwing it out.

It just seemed odd that they were not in there given the location. I get curious and like to think about things occassionally.
