  1. I only hang out with Thais making 100k a month. Yes, that is about 0.0001 of the population. I came here for the weather and to relax, not wonder about calculus and existentialism while mapping out non-Euclidean graphs of dark matter. The language in Thailand is money. English means bank. Learn English to get rich, then retire and dabble ina few Krap krap sawastee (transliteration at its worst). My Thai is intermediate, but only out of boredom, not necessary.
  2. 8 years, met TWO fluent English speakers born in Thailand. I've talked with about 30 doctors in hospitals, and some have told me their English is "advanced." It was equivalent to a 5-year old. I would guess there is a 90% chance any urologist you meet will have only a very, very basic understanding of English. Deep in water buffalo country? 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% almost zero, besides the same ridiculous phrases, etc. "significant".................yea, you are asking way too much. Others will say I'm wrong, that's fine. I've known about 300 Thai English "teachers," and not one was even remotely close to anything resembling a "significant" understand of the ABC's. lol.
  3. I could see myself doing this. Surprised I haven’t already. Or spilled coffee on it, lost it, etc….. getting older does this. Just ordered a cable I lost after only one week…..
  4. Can I say the YouTubers are watching TikTok? Because that's what they are watching. lol. Oh, I read the title wrong the first time. my bad. Ah......I can't deal with 10,000 ChiangMai vloggers who thinks they found the best coffee shop or hotel room or waterfall or tourist spot..........Yes, I watched a few, went mad, now never again....it's just unrealistic, lying <deleted>......of course, they won't ever say anything negative, so their value goes to zero........it's not honest stuff. i am jealous that MateNate guy is super rich. yes. i don't watch his stuff. I like one fat Thai guy who does food blogs......I'll watch one video every few months. YouTube, for me, is for sports, my passions (not tourist stuff), a take on current events when I'm bored for some biased reporting, music videos, music, and movie trailers.
  5. No luck in selling, but BUYING on Facebook marketplace has been 99% positive. It's nice that Thais (IMO once you recognize a legit seller) really keep used stuff in pristine condition. I've been buying stuff there for about 5 years, only one item DOA and was offered a refund. I would try to sell there first. you will get the jokers who want a 10,000 item for 3000....but that's everywhere. my suggestion.
  6. 160:or 180…….OMG I have a 2000 baht machine I use and I’m around 111…..we’ll, I thought I needed the machine, and I like it, but OMG if I saw 180…….
  7. Canada isn’t even in the top 100 most dangerous countries on every list I found. I guess it’s because they speak English we are reading about it. Are we really going to comment on 10,000 stories on war zone areas? This story is horrible, but imagine what happens that we don’t read about. Media….interesting. Maybe because Canada has some money, near America. Who knows….
  8. This is NOT a very polite response~!!!! He was helping. He said go to Google. That's helping. Go to a website call YouTube. Search "how to say no in Thai" and watch the one by "ThaiwithMod". Don't thank me!!!!!! I don't need the likes of you thanking me!!!! lol Merry Christmas!!!! Happy New Year!!! Have a great day!!!!! lol
  9. deeply concerning. not for this bloke, though I should be if he's broke and has to go back to freezing weather.... but that 38 days is a story..........which means 1 hour might be a story.....which means the narrative of BAD BAD BAD BAD Falangs is the real story..........illegal!!!!! Is there even ONE Falang in Thailand legally????????????????????????????!?!?!?!?!?!??! lol Will I go out today and someone ask me, "Are you here illegally??!!! Could you be arrested today? Can I see your visa???? Did you know all these BAD BAD falangs?????" We are in this together. NOT, you're on your own falang. I'm reporting everyone!!!!! lol
  10. might as well report on Mao and Stalin and Hitler and Pol Pot every day for the rest of our lives, since many deaths remain nameless. or what if they report a GOOD thing.....clearly there is another good thing they could report, or even report all day, every day on creating the wheel. clearly a better story than a kid saving some rabbits. or every single story on the drug trade.....that would certainly get everyone excited!!!! I saw a drunk falang last night riding a bike without a helmet, screaming profanities and throwing something in the road ..... why not a story on him???? this is the biggest problem of our generation. lol
  11. Make sure you fact check, the documentary did miss some things and a different ending in real life with all those tourists. With that said, give him 10000000 years in prison. I’m not defending this evil person. Shame he can’t be prosecuted in Thailand, they should change the laws just because of him.
  12. Similar death a few years ago to a 21 year old girl, but it never made TVF. Fell, head crushed, and her friends were numb with hopelessness. This is Thailand, where cars are too expensive if you are in school or work for 10000 a month. In America, I probably owned and sold over 10 cars, never a motorcycle. Got older, bought an SUV. Not easy to in Thailand for most, but they have to travel. Sad endless loop of deaths.
  13. My memory is horrible but in the last eight years this seems crazy around the New Year. the year is 2029 and Chiangmai’s first ski resort opens with 10 meters of snow. It’s possible
  14. Remember scientists, no cotton! Wet and you are in trouble. That means sweating. wool, of course. Or down. My underwear is 90 percent goose/10 percent feathers. I definitely can see a joke there. Lol
  15. Fine of 100 billion reduced to 99 baht reduced to 19 baht and 11 wais to the falangs living the dream on the night roads of LOS. All falangs given a free noodle soup, Phiset!
  16. It’s partly a business, if partly means 99 percent 400k to save money in Thailand on marriage visa. if in farangland, you might be a little happier but spend millions more. sinsot is ok at the right number. since no guarantees and you can lose it all in a second…. go the 800k retirement route instead.
  17. I agree…the worst!! 28 years, 7 months and 21 days ago I was so happy in the Sun, rain, snow and wind. Now the planet is ruined! Misery everywhere…… oh wait, before I had 2 girlfriends, money and looks. Probably a coincidence. hold on, my tinder date is here! I love the weather! Let it snow!
  18. I would guess 99 percent. Of course, I’m an expat in my room at 6 pm complaining about dogs barking, smoke and motorbikes, but I’ve read Thailand is known for its nightlife. Too dangerous kids! Read a book and have some warm milk! 2 to 4 am is where the magic happens!
  19. There is more to this story! A driver, “professional,” doesn’t check on his paying passenger before departing? I’m guessing there was a gun fight, asteroids raining down, dragons circling, and the driver only has 11 minutes to save the Earth.
  20. Stamped until 23. I’m assuming this means year 3023, not 2023. Yes! I’m going to court! Playing dumb seems to work. I dumb falang believe smart Thai stamp…..cannot do maths 90 very big number
  21. Largest profit in history, 1 zillion. Largest fine, 2 billion. Okay
  22. I disagree. Depends how they die, yes? 107 deaths a no story to you because you are probably not old with a preexisting condition. What if 50 falangs die at a bar over a few days (keep it under you 15 die a day tolerance)? Oh, non story? Or 100 falangs die at a massage shop? Non story? Or 106 falangs crushed by elephants. Or 101 falangs die from eating farang food? Non story? Oh, this alien from Mars only killed 14 today, no worries…….maybe 2 billion tomorrow! Lol
  23. Looking at this chart, all the fake “ teachers” saying they are helping need to look in the mirror. It’s an absolute sh…. show. Oh, my students are great at English! Quit lying to yourself and buy a new backpack!
