  1. Expensive hotels don't have a coffee shops. They have their own restaurants and I doubt the service would be bad. Mid tier hotels like Holiday Inn Express, Furama, Hop Inn and KoKotel have these shops.
  2. Clear air at 90 AQI ???? Only the highest standard for Thailand expats.
  3. I think even on this forum where people bash Starbucks and praise the worst coffee on the planet (Amazon) are slowly starting to get it why Starbucks is so successful.
  4. You have no idea if they have gone bust or just upgraded their business.
  5. It's not. It is a legit way to make money as I did it myself. However, the companies are making it harder and harder every year.
  6. What does this mean? And who in Thailand especially if qualified applies on Craigslist? That site has always been full of scams and dodgy people. Using Craigslist in Thailand is like using Ajarn (hint) to get a teaching job in UK.
  7. Whatever English they speak in "Bangkok Hospital" my guess is that in any mid tier Malaysian hospital they speak and communicate better. My wife went to Bangkok Hospital 2 months ago to get her tests done for Canadian permanent residency. Besides a basic conversational English I was surprised that the hospital is starting to look very neglected in need of repairs. Oh, but they have a piano player in the lobby, However, I will admit that so far the hospitals I visited.... and I will put them here, Medpark, Vejthani, Ramkhamheang I never had any problems. The last ensoscopy I had at medpark was literally like waking up from sleep. No issues whatsoever, no nothing and the instruments they use are of course modern as it is a new hospital. My problem is Thailand is what happens if something goes wrong? For the price you pay the hospital should take the responsibility and from what I read they never do. Also, some doctors I saw are stuck in their ways and are not open to any discussion or opinions. I guess it is that face saving thing again because they know best.
  8. This is kind of the point of my thread. I have literally nothing to look forward to. I don't care about starting new projects. I don't care about my life in Thailand anymore and this is why I made it one of my projects to move bsck to Canada with wife. I think money is becoming completely meaningless to me and I am by no means rich. So, I agree that giving momey to kids will rob them of certain opportumities in life and send them on a bad path. People are programmed to struggle for survival.
  9. Jesus Christ that is a low salary for a regional manager. Truly despicable actually,
  10. I have been saying this for years. Thai hospitals are too expensive and every time I say this there is always some most likely American who doesn't know anything about healthcare outside USA sending me abusive messages. As a matter of fact the prices in private hospitals in Canada are on par with Thailand. The difference is in Canada things come with a warranty. One reason I will not do anything half serious in Thailand is because of a face saving culture. Another good choice not to get obsoletely ripped off would be Europe. This is not Farang vs Thai price issue. My wife's parents also pay exuberant prices in Thai private hospitals.
  11. I agree. Thailand will do tho, even let you choose the sex of the child. The cost is around 500,000b I believe.
  12. The best time is not to go and just pay the fine once a year.... if they can even figure it out.
  13. I am about to turn 50 and I have to admit that perhaps I was wrong about not having children. I wanted to live a bit selfishly all my life, mostly because I watched my parents fight. I promised myself at the very early age I was going to be alone. My childhood life wasn't actually bad, but I always wished I had 2 parents with me. My father was abusive and sometimes I thought I would turn to be like him. I do have a very short temper, so I was right about that. I left for Thailand 10 years ago. I got married 3 times. Marriages didn't work out because I don't want children. I can now see women's point of view. Even if your children turn out to be selfish, ungrateful bastards, at least in your old age you the illusion of having something that belongs to you. Because let me tell you, right now I have money and I don't even know how to spend it. I just need food and a place to live. The rest of the "stuff" I find completely meaningless. My father died last year. Most of my family is getting sick and I know my mom even tho I am not with here is still happy to have me. She tells me this every time I speak with her, She doesn't need anything else besides the fact I exist. This is a very short version because I know a wall of text in this forum does not go very well with posters. My wife is 43 years. I am seriously considering Vitro right now.
  14. These phones are garbage. They do have great specs, but unfortunately the software and component quality is trash. My Xiaomi note 10 pro after 1 year of use is overheating and battery drops to zero after 10 minutes fully charged. It would be a much better idea to pickup a 3 year old flagship phone like Samsung where speed, camera and RAM would still beat these mid range phones. As i threw my Xiaomi to the garbage i picked up my Samsung Note 9 that I put in the drawer last year. Works better and faster than Xiaomi garbage.
  15. In civilized countries you have to pay these old cars to leave. Here they are worth 3 grand. Rofl
  16. This is a no content article that has been trolling forum members in Thailand for decades. Thais are in debt. The day of reckoning is coming. Year after year something like this comes up and things stay the same. Still the record number of luxury cars on the roads. Properties still being sold at stupid prices. People in Thailand still surviving. Restaurants are full. Thais are crafty. Farang struggles with 800,000 baht in the bank account. Lol
  17. "Running a company that provides services for a major energy firm, " Income more likely $5000 a month most likely more. I know it's hard to believe, but my wife who is in sales gets $3000 USD with bonus. Private school costs a lot. A lot of Thai parents sacrifice a lot to send their kids to best schools. This is why me and my wife are childless.
  18. House is probably 7 million, truck another million. What is the problem? Sounds like the rest of the world to me.
  19. If I buy one and get caught, would I get deported. Just kidding! Purely rhetorical question, of course. Asking for a friend kinda thing.
  20. That's the thing. MG is not that much cheaper, so it is indeed C ra P value for money.
  21. I said a few times here that my wife has been working in industrial manufacturing in thailand for almost 20 years. She supplies the parts to all Japanese auto makers here and knows that MG uses cheap unreliable parts. My wife is also a proud Chinese and she drives Honda and injected herself with Moderna and not Sinovac. Facts are facts.
