I still drool over returning to Kauai, most beautiful and quiet place I ever been to, I pray to God daily to let me live there for the rest of my days.
Sticking to my original plan, spend as little here as possible, and own nothing here. I'll keep my money and assets in the US where they can grow without having to take huge chances on any investments here in Thailand. My wife likes buying condos, she is welcome to with her own money, not sending anymore of mine here for that purpose.
Between their driving skills, drug use, anger issues, lack of impulse control, weapons, etc.....I do everything I can to avoid using a Taxi in Thailand, from my past experience, 9 out of 10 them shouldn't even be allowed on the road.
I like most dishes here to be about 2-3 on 1-5 scale, the spiciest dish I ever had was in Chomphon, local fresh seafood dish loaded with what appeared to be raw Birds Eye Peppers. I didn't look before taking a bite, then my whole mouth was on fire, I can stand the heat, but it ruined the seafood. Not sure why someone would want blazing heat on a fresh seafood dish, but to each their own I guess.

I love seeing them laying down over the handlebars with their feet on the rear pegs and their head as far forward as they can get without a helmet, very aerodynamic, and much easier for a light pole to hit them where it counts.
If it's not added to the airline fees which are paid ahead of time, then it will just becomes another headache that tourists don't want to deal with, especially as soon as they land, and all they want to do is just get out of the airport. I can only imagine the circus created at the airport or borders waiting for each and every tourists to find a way to pay this fee, or to load an app to do so. Plus, will these fees and ETA requirements be needed for longtime VISA holders every time we leave and return?
Smoking is sort of like farting, if it's not alright to fart continuously where you are, then it's probably not OK to smoke there either. Take your disgusting habit to some place where you and like-minded masochists can enjoy it.
More than likely he was U-Turning across multiple lanes, and got hit on the same side of the road on his left side. Even worse, there appears to be a hash-marked center divided lane, where no crossing or U-Turning would ever be allowed.
