It depends how you define scam. It's 100 baht, not 10 000 baht. Is it fair that you were born in a western country where you can afford to fly to thailand 3 times a year and a baht bus driver makes a pittance? Is it still a scam?

100 Thai Baht equals 2.15 Pound sterling. That's barely enough for a pack of gum in the UK? Yeah, that's worth getting into an altercation and risking the other guy having a weapon on him or having friends nearby gang up on you. And the violent altercation being filmed. Some people lack survival skills. But then again, he was drunk. Which is one reason I don't drink much. Act stupid in public and get yourself killed.

Also consider getting a weighted vest and look up some bodyweight exercises you can do with the weighted vest.

yeah, divorce and cancer at the same time. when bad luck hits you like a ton of bricks all at once, thats tough for anyone. but people should have at least one close friend to help them through tough times.

you dont think drinking and driving is a big deal? people often die because of it, ya know?

Ha, next generation of Brits wreaking havoc now.

10% is the magic number that keeps coming up over and over and over. Everyone who tries to convince others to invest in mutual funds always uses 10% as a selling point every single time. So does that mean that most mutual fund managers are actually averaging 10%? Or does it mean that all investors have been brainwashed with the same sales pitch? I've looked at some portfolios where the numbers were 30% one year and 0% the next. How can the same fund manager who got 30% one year be so incompetent and get 0% the next year? You might argue the markets had a bad year. And I will argue that if someone is proficient in investing and able to get 30% one year, then they should be smart enough to avoid the markets altogether during a downturn instead of giving you 0% for the year. It makes no sense.

Depends how you define regulated. It's the only profession in the world where they are not obligated to provide anything and still get paid. If your fund gets 0 per cent one year, they still get paid. And you are claiming that you made 10 per cent during Covid when most businesses were shut down? So you made the same during Covid as you did in all other normal years? I don't believe people who claim they make 10 per cent per year year after year in mutual funds without nary a glitch. It's the fund managers getting rich, not the investors.

If you need to take bulky DSLR camera equipment, it's best to take it on the plane if possible. To suggest that we should only take a small sweater on the plane is silly. On some airlines, there's no weight restriction as long as you are strong enough to lift it up and place it the bin yourself.

I don't think the mutual fund industry is "regulated" in home country either. As it's all basically gambling and the fund manager takes 2% and most funds don't do well.

why are you selling?

That's what the airlines allow, as I posted earlier. The problem is you people don't know the airline allowances. The ALSO allow a big bag of food.

There are different definitions of "carry on" depending what type of trip you're doing. If you check in a huge suitcase (or two), then maybe you don't need much on the plane. But for many trips, I am trying to ONLY have a carry on bag and AVOID checking in any bag at all to avoid waiting for checked luggage or potentially losing checked luggage. That means I need to bring with me as much as I can on the plane. And I will use the maximum allotted 19 inch wheeler.

So now you're complaining about luggage with wheels? Because if you're taking your crap with you for any long distance, those wheels will make it much more comfortable than lugging it over your shoulder.

Actually, I use a soft shell carry on and a backpack as a personal item. And the hard shell for check in. But who knows what people are transporting? Bottles of alcohol? Ha ha.

Are you sure you are familiar with the rules? What you are describing is the personal item in addition to the carry on. 22 inches x 14 x 9 is a decent size luggage Maybe some smaller budget airlines have stricter rules, but here is Delta airlines: Delta Air Lines Delta flyers are allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item. Including wheels and handles, measurements may not exceed 22 inches long, 14 inches width and 9 inches high. The total length plus width plus height of baggage must not exceed 45 linear inches. For personal items, Delta says size examples are purses, small backpacks and laptops.

you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. a few violent incidents, but that's a lot of moolah.

There are plenty of hard shell cases that are designed with carry-on dimensions. There are some that are even smaller than maximum carry on size. Again, please explain why someone should be more concerned about your belongings than their own. If you know everyone else has a hard shell and you have fragile stuff, buy a hard shell.

No actually YOU are missing the point. The entire POINT of hard shell cases is to protect fragile items. If you have fragile items, then get a hard shell. OR ... you can wrap it in bubble wrap. But YOU are missing the whole point if you expect your opponents to bring soft shell suitcases not to damage YOUR crap. Nobody cares about your crap. People care about their own crap

Yes, but you cover your bum when you report it because if someone lays a hand on her now, everyone will know who it is.

I dunno. maybe. wolf blitzer nearly vomits live on camera ...

Was Wolf Blitzer Fox or CNN? I can't remember. That was a long time ago. But one thing I remember is the tone of his voice was the same no matter what he was talking about. He could spit out the news about bombs going off and children being killed and then 5 minutes later talk about the weather with the same tone of voice. Like a robot.
