One....don't ride a motorcycle in Thailand......two.....don't trust insurance companies......three.....pick a better and safer country to travel in....Thailand is dangerous for travelling in/on any vehicle, and you will be held hostage until you pay your medical bill. Also, no matter who is at fault, you will pay!

They killed a bundle of Maduro's private Cuban security forces, that was a Bonus!

The model I ordered doesn't exist here, or I would. I don't purchase through Shopee though, either Lazada, Amazon, or the manufacturer only.

Oh good, time to take down the tents and head back to the AC offices for 12 more months.

Thai culture, Me-First is ingrained in their DNA, other people mean nothing to them, especially the safety of other people.

Everything in Thailand is measured in Baht, so quality tourists are those with deep pockets.

Tough path?! How about....Zero Path

First, low cost (under 1500 baht) items, now all cars. What's next?! Thailand the land of ever increasing taxes, the locals are going to love this 😂

I wouldn't call it better, they (Amazon) severely restrict what you can purchase or send to Thailand. Sometimes there are some deals, or items I just can't get here, that make it the preferred method. I used to do what you are doing, but Thailand was stopping all my packages and imposing customs fees based on weight, and forcing me to make a trip every time it happened. It got to the point that I only purchase direct to me shipments from Amazon, or deals I can find on Lazada. As far as clothes, I pick them up when I fly home, and stuff my bags with news clothes to bring back here.

Both.

I've ordered hundreds of times via Amazon, the import charges are applied during checkout. Do your packages not have import charges applied when you purchase?

Yup, seeing that soundproofing catching fire just sends shivers up my spine based what happened in the 2003 fire......that fire was so horrible, I can't see how anyone would repeat the bad decisions made that day.

Looks and sounds exactly like the 2003 Station Nightclub fire in Rhode Island, I see nothing was learned from that, sad.

You think that's bad, they want $109 (USD) import charge to send my new eGPU here via Amazon.

I'm a chump in need of change 🫴

Time to cancel my next flight, this is ridiculous!

Exactly, breaks my heart to see someone in a wheelchair having to wheel themselves down a dangerous road because heartless Thai's could care less about them, and are blocking sidewalks and/or Zebra crossings. Saw a guy with this exact issue last month, where the sidewalk was blocked, and several cars illegally parked (red/white curb) blocking one lane, so the guy in the wheelchair was wheeling himself down the 2nd lane, I blocked the lane for him to safely get through, as everyone else was trying to run him over. All it does is enforce my hatred for "Thai Culture", these people are sickening.

Loved the clean air back home, the views of the Milky Way were just breathtaking! So clean I could see the moons around Jupiter with my 8" Smith Cassegrain telescope. Hiking, fishing, hunting, camping.....the list goes on, I really do miss life in the states.

Western Massachusetts near UMASS and Amherst College area, quiet, beautiful, lots of outdoor activities, clean air, clean water, clean land, and safe.

We are treated like cattle, the only they care about is milking us for everything they can get.

Me, well-off? LMAO ........I am here for my wife and daughter only, if the family chooses to leave, I would gladly go back to living my quiet life back in small rural college town USA. Though my USA rescue dog is now reaching almost 15 yrs now, and he wouldn't be able to make the journey home, so we will at least stay long enough to see him through his final days. For now, I keep my head down, avoid Thai people at all costs, and try to keep from getting run over or slammed into by inconsiderate and dangerous Thai drivers. My problem is with the people of Thailand themselves, their Me-First attitudes and the way they treat others is reprehensible. I find Thailand to be a combination of all the values I find abhorrent, sort of like the inner-city people of the USA, who seem to mirror the same low moral values of their Thai counterparts. Those fake Thai smiles, are exactly that, fake.

People with real money wouldn't come here for anything other than illicit reasons, Thailand offers nothing to the well-off.

Of course they have evidence, they all have their fingers in the pot, one of their own steps out of line, they offer him up to the masses as a sacrificial lamb. Meanwhile, they carry on with the corruption, and the money keeps flowing to the top dogs. Rinse ....Repeat.

Yup, same here.....haven't remitted anything since 2023.

Or they just found a better bargain somewhere else, its not like Thailand is all that wonderful to being with, there are much better places to visit. Slowly but surely, Thailand has lost its cheap luster.
