  1. "potential deportation" otherwise known as how deep are your pockets?
  2. Disgraceful whats happening to these fellas. What else can they put in the headline for charges? What did they rob/assault? the policemans gun after he attempted to draw it on them, luckily they acted quickly or it could have been much worse. There was no assault, If there was we would see photos of policeman black and blue and lying on a hospital bed. There is nothing of the sort. Attempted bribery, exactly what the policemen was chasing them down for, money. The bike was rented, they were not the owners of the bike so surely thats an issue for the bike rental company. ive rented many bikes in Thailand and never once have I checked to see if it was registered.
  3. All the points he is making is referenced in that article to third party sources such as the DOE, IEA, natural history museum etc. Doesn't look to be untrue or misleading if it is then it's those third parties being misleading?
  4. I wonder when the climate change vaccines will be launched to protect us from "global warming" oh no wait its not global warming anymore they had to change that its climate change now lol. Brilliant
  5. https://robertbryce.substack.com/p/teslas-turmoil-the-ev-meltdown-in?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=630873&post_id=143793696&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=parw0&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
  6. It's not hard to comprehend why this stuff happens. No excuse for it of course but They are driving around sucking in all that pollution everyday. High stress environment, living day to day probably sleeping for a few hours here and there when they cant continue and highly likely they are taking at least Kratom to work longer hours if not Yaba on top. It's enough to turn anybody psychotic. Tough existinece
  7. Im not a tipper, its an American thing but I'll tip if I feel the person deserves a tip. Massage place I will drop 100 on a 300 bill because it's an older lady who does a great job. They should charge more than 300. If the service is good in a restaurant I will usually tip. Normally this is in a fancy place, could be 100-200 baht tip. Other times in a restaurant I'll leave the coins or a bit more, same with beers. A bellboy never in my life. I can wheel my own bags but if you want to take them off me and roll them up to my room thats great. Needed to move a fridge a few weeks ago 300m and asked the neighbour if he can help with his Ranger. Very helpful. Gave him 500 baht. He was chuffed dont think he expected anything. Barber costs 170, I leave 200, they do a good job. My room gets cleaned weekly, I leave 50 baht on the bed each week for her. It would be nice to think others do the same to bump up her income but I doubt it. I might start leaving more. Anyway the way I see it is it's enough for her to buy a noodle soup when she finishes work. Ive been finding im tipping more and more the longer im here
  8. I think at least an 8-10% yield would be required given the available returns in other asset classes nowadays. Why did you decide to invest in Cambodia and what locations would you recommend?
  9. The desert of Dubai is flooded from their cloud seeding activities right now. Dozens of countries do cloud seeding. Im sure thats got nothing to do with climate change though!! Thats because of cow farts and V8s. Clown world.
  10. How can mineral/spring water from the shop be RO water. I dont think thats accurate, that defeats the purposes of it being mineral/spring water. All I drink right now is bottled water but i want to filter out any microplastics/other that comes from using bottled water. Plus It's a pain in the ass buying 2 x 8 1.5L pack bottles of water every week.
  11. I prefer healthy water over good tasting water. I would chug a half litre of water down in 10 seconds, taste is not a concern for me. Ive also heard others say they prefer the taste so It seems to be subjective.
  12. Yes single point, to use at one sink for drinking and cooking use. I was looking on home pro and I notice some differences. This one says 3 filtration stage and 2 filter. 0.0001 micron filter https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1171420 The one below says a five stage filtrations system which im guessing is probably not different to the 3+2 above but comes much cheaper https://www.homepro.co.th/p/57811 If im not mistaken UV treatment is to kill bacteria but these systems say they will filter out bacteria? This would be for use in temporary accommodation and I dont think UV would be?
  13. Has anybody got one in their home in Thailand? Any recommendations or tips?
