Startmeup

Alot of them seem to hate life. Driving around with no respect for other road users. Foot to the floor, look at me Im an invalid make way. I dont think its a case of that they think they own the road I think its that they are so angry with life and their situation in the world that they dont care if they get hit. Until they do.

The helmets here break like an egg. There is no testing here like in Australia, US and elsewhere. Anybody who has any proper biking experience would be aware of this. Most of these folks would import helmets from abroad. I could go and open a helmet manufacturing shop tomorrow if I wanted. All new lightweight paper mache helmets, Made in Thailand. Super lightweight Make you go 20% faster. Id probably get some incentives by the government too for providing jobs.

Prices have been rising all the time. It was prob about 500k when you bought it? Nice investment.

I dropped my passport to a local law firm 10 mins from my place on a day when I was travelling close to their office. 90 day report done and ready to be picked up the next day, I picked it up a few of days later. Didn't have to go near immigration. Nothing to pay. Couldn't have been easier.

This is a very busy road in Rawai. Restaurants, cafes and accommodation dotted all along the road. It's close to a very sharp bend where traffic comes to a standstill most of the time. The bike looks to be going quite fast given the location but it doesn't matter how fast he is going the car cut right in front of him and the bike didn't come out of nowhere, the car is at fault. Hopefully the driver makes a full recovery and is compensated for his hospital bills, loss of earnings and repairs to bike.

I paid 1m for a 20 year visa and it includes 1, 2, 7 and 8. Not able to transfer ownership. Looking at the price points for the current visa offerings now under the elite program then this price makes sense. It costs 2.5 million for 15 years today. The visa that is being sold here would have been a great investment at the time given you can transfer ownership. None are transferable now. It probably makes more sense to buy this than what available at this price point or with a bit of negotiating.

Why do you think someone would pay 3.4 million for this visa? The extras when I looked into it in the past are very limited and don't add much value. Unless you were an avid golfer and were happy to play at the same (included) course day in day out then maybe it adds some value.

"potential deportation" otherwise known as how deep are your pockets?

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.

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?

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

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

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

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?

Tesla making some cut back in China now also

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.

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.

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.

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?

Has anybody got one in their home in Thailand? Any recommendations or tips?

More biometric bull sheet. Ive had no problems transferring money for the last 40 years and I dont need or want a face scan to do it now. Looks like I'll be changing banks to SCB as they dont require it?

Must be due to the robust demand

Those two fattys aint Russian
