In my case, always in Cash. Exception: Cost of passport renewal at my country's embassy in BKK. This way, risks of skimming will be minimal. In recent years, I have heard of quite a few cases where customers' money is stolen from the account liked to the online payment systems. When I book my airline ticket, I am willing to pay B300- fee to the kind local travel agent. As the cost of financial safety and peace of my mind... Pettie benefits from non-cash payment don't interest me.

Even though Monsoon is not bound by the Premier Decree...

What is the elevation of CNX Airport? Chiang Mai topographic map, elevation, terrain (topographic-map.com) Looks like a lot higher than the flood prone area(e.g.Muang Mai Market.

Cause of the fire on the car. More than 2 decades ago, I have heard of the similar case; sudden flame up of the Diesel vehicle(truck) suddenly after engine start up. They later pinpointed its cause. That engine was reconditioned and the mechanic left the waste rug inside the engine before he reassembled the once disassembled diesel engine.

Poor food, still better than no food at all?

Those criminal gangs from China. One of the 93 countries covered by Thailand Visa Waiver scheme since late July this year. Open arms often invite Persona non grata (unwanted sort of aliens).

Did his dream home come true?

In Thailand, becoming a monk is often the last line of the safety net(to a man). Dormitory housing, daily meals, and the clothing are provided. As well as the respect from the people. Even though they need to shave their heads and stay away from the worldly vices.

The air conditioner (inverter type) is LG(S/Korean maker) over 20 years old. I have been using this for the past 18 years. But still work very well and never wastes power. When I run it for 4 hours at 28℃, the meter moves 3 notches. But no more than that. My energy saving tip: 1-Always use A/C it at 28℃. 2-Us the fan and A/C at the same time: 3 fans in my room. 1 in the ceiling. Another 2 on the floor. I often run 2 together to make me feel cooler. One placed on the right(or left) side. Another under the desk(to cool my thigh and waist; where often sweats most while sitting in a chair). 3-Avoid using cooking utensils like microwave/electric kettles/rice cooker with A/C. A/C is the biggest power eater. If you use it with microwave, the unit meter will move a lot faster than without it. This way, my power consumption is always well under control. My power usage is usually between: 40(cool dry season Nov-Feb) 80(hot/humid season Mar-Oct) Unit price in my place is currently:THB8/unit(used to be 6, 18 years ago).

Are you planning to apply for one from outside Thailand? Or are you thinking about status change of visa(e.g. Tourist to Non-immigrant) within Thailand? As far as I have heard of, 400K is enough for Non-immigrant O(on the grounds of marriage with a Thai national). But not for Retirement(another 4000K needed). Why don't you apply for the DTV instead(at Thai Embassy in your home country)? Monetary hurdle looks a lot lower; it costs THB10000- for initial application. And you only have to prove you have at least THB500000- in your bank account at home(no need to move it here)?

Looks like their parliament house is just as dirty as its contents; neat and clean with no stench on surface.

Vietnam is also in the same way. Whatever numbers of prostitute in their society, they are not supposed to exist in their statistics. Exactly the same way former USSR publicized to the rest of the world during the Cold War era.

Carefully planned Knife Attack in the place where a crowded place... Reminds me of another similar case that took place in Northeast Asia 16 years ago. I presume if the same happened here, it will turn out like the below footage.

A food delivery rider suffered a personal nightmare when a customer refused to pay for a KFC order, ...a customer had refused to pay for a KFC order worth 850 baht... ------------------------------------------------------------------- To the people working for $1/each delivery, it is certainly a Nightmare... I don't spend 850 a day unless I travel to the other areas in Thailand or buy some gadgets.

Saving Hard Worker's Day. Puzzling story with the heart-warming end. Salute to the kind officers.

Another story like this?

Apart from VietNam, Is the cost of stay(living) in the Philippines really lower than in Thailand?

Maybe not so much for the tourists(short term visitors staying only 7-10 days). But for expats, it still is. When we come to know more about this place, we can find out more options to reduce the needless expenditure in our daily life. Frequenting local diners instead of the establishments for the foreigners. Buying daily commodities at the public local market instead of the big supermarkets.; their veggies and fruit are lot more expensive than the local market. Short-term travelers just don't have enough time to learn these things. That is why they usually spend more money(cost of ignorance) for the goods and services. Also because of the holiday makers' psychology, they are often willing to expend more while outside their daily life.
