  1. Seriously ? Can't remember the prices and all but the girls were hot !
  2. Yeah that's it. Never used the limo service but went to their club and they had some of the most beautiful girls I've seen in Thailand
  3. Awful diet but with moderation - just like Warren
  4. As far as I know, you can do two border runs / visa runs by land every year. ED visas can be renewed up to 3 times in a row I think. I have no idea which embassy/consulate is the more relaxed about tourist visas. I would try to get an eVisa online.
  5. Buy Alibaba stock. That's the real gold right now.
  6. Charlie Munger was right: our problem used to be feeding poor people, now it's all about finding ways to prevent their obesity. At the end of the day, it's the same everywhere. Add to that our aging population problem and what you'll see on the horizon is an healthcare apocalypse.
  7. Wealth management is bs. Sign up with Interactive Brokers (or Robinhood or whatever) and get yourself some solid BlackRock ETFs with low ongoing fees. Don't fall for that securewm garbage. The best person to manage your money is you.
  8. This has become a trend in Thailand. Dressing up like a bar girl to sell stuff. In Pattaya, you have the Chicken & Mortar girl preparing food with her boobs out. Pretty sad really to see what some women have to do to sell random stuff. Or maybe that's what's called Thai feminism ? I dunno.
  9. I've booked more rooms that I can count with Agoda. I've been using their app almost every week or so for almost a year now. I had issues with them twice. First time was because the Malaysian gov introduced a new tax that wasn't reported on my booking. So I got pissed but I had to pay extra on-site because...well... that was the law. Agoda's customer service was fast to clarify and apologize that day. Second time was yesterday. I booked a hotel and the booking was cancelled by the owner due to "Incorrect Rate". So I had to cancel my booking, got a refund and was given some extra Agoda cash as an apology. Pretty f:cking lame if you ask me. The hotel or Agoda should have taken the loss and I should haven gotten the room anyway. That being said, the customer service was efficient in sorting things out. Agoda is also the world champion of fake discounts. All the promotions that you see on their website like "50% off - 1 room left!" is total bs. The price displayed as a promotion is just the normal rate, roughly what you'd get if you'd book directly with the hotel. The different VIP statuses that you can unlock are mostly useless and the associated deals usually suck big time. For example all the worse hotels are labelled as VIP deal and they are indeed not expensive. But it's not because you are a "special customer" but because the hotels are so bad, they wouldn't find clients otherwise. Honestly I don't understand why they aren't sued for those practices. Anyway, Agoda commercial practices might be despicable but their customer service will usually solve your problem pretty quickly if you're legit. Don't count on them to do anything else but the bare minimum though.
  10. Ok. I thought I was missing something here
  11. It's a serious question What do you mean by "50 X 20 THB in total" ? 50 is the number of vouchers. 20THB is the value of each voucher. "In total" what do you mean then ? You're paying a monthly sub so I guess "in total" should be "per month". So if it's not 20THB on 50 deliveries, it can only be X vouchers per delivery until there are none left......
  12. Does that mean you can use as many discount vouchers on a single delivery ?
  13. Having a Thai wife is a sign of self-hatred. Doesn't matter where the husband comes from.
  14. That might just be the algorithm changing prices based on market conditions. Happens to me all the time and I didn't sub to Grab Unlimited yet. Maybe you can confirm this: it seems to me that Grab Unlimited is really mostly about getting discounted prices on delivery when ordering food, right ?
  15. If current leaders hold to power like Biden, Xi, Putin, etc..., young people will have to wait for a long time before they are in power. By then they'll be old themselves.
  16. I'm wondering who can possibly give 2 chocolate starfishes about that kind of news.
  17. 40 yo = young ? Yeaaaaaaah... Nope. Young is 25yo and below.
  18. South Thailand and Malaysia are fine most of the time. Everything north of BKK should be avoided during hot season. BKK should be systematically avoided imo. South of BKK is pretty pollution free most of the time. I don't think Hua Hin or Surat Thani had any real bad days lately... In Malaysia, Penang, Cameron Highlands or Malacca are also pollution-free most of the time (99% I'd say).
  19. Are you talking about the guys or the girls now ?
  20. Very true. Got the same platinum status and there's honestly not much I can do with my points. Discounts on Grab services is the best way to go imo. You can also get 500THB off your next Agoda booking... That might very well be the case. That's the reason I started this post in the first place. This is what GPT could tell me about Grad food price patterns:
  21. Ok. I'm gonna give it a try. Seems like reviews are positive so why not. Thx
  22. Yeaaaah.... Maybe not the best example
  23. That's 825 million €. An average of roughly 7 million € / investor.
