  1. The one next to Gateway ekkamai? Ok, but that room also sells for around 15 million up. My building is around 4 years old, just a bit further from BTS as we have a car. Regardless the cost of the room is still 9 million and rent is 23k.
  2. Sometimes you can find this price difference in the same building. Now I know why.
  3. Which tree? I live close to "Tree" on Sukhumvit 40. Surely not that one. Also the 120,000 rent for S47 is for large units that cost close to 29 million, not 22. Rent in Thailand is very negotiable. Anyway, that building seems to be a bit of an exception as it looks to be owner occupied mostly.
  4. Exactly. And that is the price for 60-70sqm 22 million thonglor condo that rents out for 70,000 baht a month. I can send you the endless links. Also, I do not live in Isaan, I live in Ekkamai. I rent a 9 million baht condo for 26,000 a month. I totally believe he is a smart businessman, but like every other fool that comes to Thailand he is absolutely clueless. Edit: Just checked my condo building. Rents low as 23,000 for a 9 million condo.
  5. He should be grateful if Thailand implements the laws. The 22 million thonglor condo probably rents for 70,000 baht maximum..... 30,000 if this tax is implemented. Thailand just saved this fool a lot of money long run.
  6. What does this have to do with new rules supposedly coming up? Nothing.
  7. One liners without any argument. Seems someone is heavily invested in Thailand. Enjoy your tax returns!
  8. You know what is BS? You lining up for an annual visa extension like a beggar and doing 90 day reports like a criminal while being required to file a tax return. For that, I pay and file in a country that gives me the actual benefits.
  9. Yea.... if this nonsense ever gets the green light you will be the type of expat who is in the most screwed category.
  10. My apologies for bad mouthing you on this forum. Sometimes I go to an extreme to prove a point. You are in fact one of my favorite posters because you don't take this country too seriously like other retired guys and a lot of your advice is spot on. Yes, I do have a massive issue with your general view of women, but we are all different.
  11. I immigrated from from a civil war to Canada at the age of 19 with 1000 dollars. I graduated University at 24 and got a job. Worked for 2 years almost minimum wage, quit the job and never worked since. I have been a self-employed so-called "digital nomad" since Amazon was founded. I was working from home 3-4 hours a day and after 10 years I thought I could do the same from Thailand. I was absolutely right except for the fact I "worked" even less. I read everything there was to be read about Thailand on internet forums from the old guys like yourself. The one thing I learned from reading forums decades ago (early 2000's) was to never ever hook up with a prostitute and that worked extremely well for me. I was able to save money in Thailand following this simple rule and still have some fun on Tinder including 3 wives in 10 years without ever paying for sinsod, bulling a house in Isaan or generally just being ripped off. In todays age of oversaturation and even your grandma being a "digital creator" on YouTube and OnlyFans including millions of sellers on online platforms, I don't think I would be able to do it. But maybe this generation has their own way of creating income that I don't know about. So, yeah.... I just wander what is so smart about coming to Thailand when you are old? You are stuck with the absolute worst quality of women, you can barely move on these 3rd world roads and you look absolutely bitter while passing me by on the street because your brother in law is banging your wife and taking your money. Then you start nursing the bottle 24/7 and participate on the one of the most important topics on aseannow which is the price of beer and 100 baht English breakfast. Livin' the dream!
  12. Easy. If you are a tourist, you have no business having a bank account in Thailand. If you do, expect to be taxed and it is up to you to prove you stayed less than 180 days.
  13. At least he's honest Subscribed.
  14. What a dolt. Nobody here lives in Thailand unless you have a PR. Who wants to do 90 day reports while paying tax? Remember, we are all tourists here.
  15. And just a warning if you own a car. My wife went to a famous service chain for oil change. A few months later she noticed one of those serial number plates that are inside your car missing. Who knows what else they "remove" when you take it for the service.
  16. You are really making yourself sound stupid. I use my scb app all the time. I also hate dealing with cash and change. Numerous times the app would not start because it either needed an update or there was service interruption. Cashiers are aware of this issue and will often tell you which bank has an issue and which does not.

    Better go with small franchise. I am at the Mall Bangkapi now and it is being renovated top to bottom. One wonders what happens with all the restaurants that have a lease there. Also obligatory updates and renovations once in a while.
  18. I prefer up and cumming
  19. You can note it all you want, but according to Thai law you will be working illegally. So, once you come here make sure you keep a low profile. 99.9% won't care, but there is always someone who will itch to report you. This forum being a great example.

    Shopee itself is fine. However their customer service lacks a bit in English department, but if you have an issue the returns process is absolutely the same. Never had any serious issue with both platforms. Shopee food on the other hand always pins the wrong location that confuses the drivers. They always call for directions.
  21. Don't worry Bob, he is not stealing your hookerz
  22. It certainly does not "burn" me or anyone with a healthy brain when people pay to be loved and touched. That is some twisted spin on reality. I highly doubt his life is so great considering the amount of time he spends degrading women on this forum. What a joke, lol
