After real hard thinking... T.I.T. This is Thailand

For high-stressed people it might be a relief. But not more. In other words - being cought in an iron trap - a toothpick won't help you to get out of it. All these individuals with burnout syndroms like the idea that they make a few sessions (of whatsoever) and go on with the pressure they have. That doesen't work on the long run. I saw this enough times around me.

Every morning I say to myself - I try to do my best. And every evening I must admit - I failed. But tomorrow is a new day. Try and learn - learn and try.

The Gripen has a Volvo RM12-Turbofan, prduced in Sweden... Reaktionsmotor 12 (RM12) is a low-bypass afterburning turbofan jet engine developed for the Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter. A version of the General Electric F404, the RM12 was produced by Volvo Aero (now GKN Aerospace Engine Systems). The last of the 254 engines was produced on 24 May 2011, at which time it had reached 160,000 flight hours without any serious incidents. Just saying 🤷‍♂️

I thought about russians. But as mentioned, rude people can be found everywhere.

In Thailand, there is no lithium-ion battery recycling plant, therefore, the entreprenuers will export used lithium-ion batteries to foreign countries for recycling. Last remark on this homepage: https://www.entec.or.th/knowledge-batteries/

Having smoking "rooms" without bothering non-smokers is technically absolutly no problem. With a underpressurized room not one tiny bit of smoke can ever leave this. In Europe as far as I experianced everywhere possible. Zurich - Switzerland for sure. On the other hand - the ventilation system has to be separated completely from the rest. As I am a strong smoker, honestly - I always survived if it took me a few hours longer without my addiction. But if there are not any other urgent problems that should be solved here in Thailand - fine with me to discuss this "issue".

I personally agree with you. Anyway from a certain point on I don't react anymore -> don't feed the trolls. The just repeat themselves. Also from the same point on I don't give any reactions to them. The reason is simple. They have the feedback that their B.S. has arrived. Just my point of view how to deal with russian trolls

Yes, we are happy. My better half - my wife - and my humble self are just settling now in our new location. We are both farang. That made a few things more complicated with Tessaban and Amper. Yes - happy so far.

I have sent in the last 12 months amounts between 4k and 600k from Wise to BKK Bank. There was never a issue. And if I have to wait up to 24 hours - so what. I am happy with Wise. In total I have transferred over 4 million BHT from WISE to BKK Bank. No complaints at all.

Yep. So this thread will fade away until sombody else opens the same discussion again- So we all are allowed to read the same russian propaganda again. Thats how it works. Everywhere. Propaganda techniques -> Wikipedia Interesting if you have the time and want to know more about this. Ad nauseam This uses tireless repetition of an idea. An idea, especially a simple slogan, that is repeated enough times, may begin to be taken as the truth. This approach is more effective alongside the propagandist limiting or controlling the media.

Lots of letters rowed in lines and most of it is of whataboutism. Lets keep it simple. In your oppinion - and that is clear russian propaganda - the bully (russia) has all the rights to take what he wants to because he has nuclear weapons. And the rest of the world shall nod their heads and say - sure go and take it. Thats not how it works. But you will find out that the ideas of Putin will not have success. Even all of his bots try to hammer it into the heads by repeating the same bulls excrement again and again. Worldwide in many threads. I just have to repeat myself -> boring.

I have no idea in what kind of a reality you are. But thats not the reality. Ukraine was - and still is - an independant country. That's the reality since 24th August 1991. So just stick with the facts, and not with russian propaganda.

It's the economy, stupid The Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 was a combination of factors, including economic stagnation, political instability, and the inability of the centralized command economy to adapt to the changing world. Key contributors included a decline in living standards compared to the West, the cost of the arms race with the United States, and the emergence of nationalist movements within the Soviet republics. The "nonsense" (bombing ukrainian civilians, hospitals, deportation of children etc.pp.) can only be stopped by Putin. And Ukraine WAS neutral before Putin started the wars in 2014 and 2022. Why should Ukraine be a buffer zone? It's THEIR decision how the want to live and that they want to stay a democracy. Not Putins.

Ah, so you call analyses from Bank of Finland propaganda? https://www.bofbulletin.fi/en/blogs/2025/war-has-degraded-russia-s-long-term-economic-outlook-and-business-environment/ Not to mention the falling world market oil prices. Russia’s long-term structural economic problems are aggravated by war and sanctions. The labour force decline has been accelerated by mobilization, war casualties and migration. Financial resources for productive investment are scarce as domestic investment is directed to war-related sectors. Foreign investment has collapsed. Ukraine needs support now – tightened sanctions, more financial resources and increased military support – to defend itself and Europe from Russia’s aggression. That is for the benefit of the whole Europe. And repeating the russian nukes again doesen't make a difference. Nobody is scared anymore.

Since when has Russia won the war on the ground? Thats breaking news! They once had 30% of Ukraine occupied, now its 18%. The losses of material and soldiers is exorbitant. Economy is going down the drain. They have a shortage of potatoes - even Belarus isn't able to sell them more, because they sold already everything they had. No potatoes - one of the most important basic food item. THAT'S the russian reality. And getting worse for them every day they think that they can get through this with threatning and bullying the world with their nukes. After 3 years that's just boring.

so you blow out your money and have no problem. What's the point of this post? Will it make you feel better to read that others might be struggling more that you? Or do you just want to be a big shot to show all readers in what kind of fantastic situation you are? Nuff said.

Emmm, not sure if I read that correctly?! Mid-range wines for that price?

When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You)

As your nickname seems somehow swiss.... CHF is one of the best currencies worldwide as you know. Stock markets and gold can crash ANYTIME. Many National banks are stocking up on gold. Especially China. This can change from one day to another. Are you able to plan for 5, 10 or 20 years? And if so - what will the world look like in 20 years? Nobody knows. But as we are in a Thailand thread, here just a sample THB to USD, EUR and CHF. Don't try to catch a falling knive - not even as an expert.

Of course - 30k per month for her family is nice. For how long? She has a big family. Hospital cost might be the next needed help. And so on etc.pp. Above the expression "sugardaddy" was used. I guess thats the way it is. Enjoy and pay. But don't expect "real love" in case you can't bring up the 30k per month anymore. "You get what you pay for".

Ants are the most annoying insects. If I see a "road" - especially where it starts or ends - I spray them even outside of the house. If the tiny ones can manage to invade my "Tupperware stuff" - that item failed and will be replaced with a upgraded/ better version. They exist. 100% safe against ants are also fridge or having some water in a bowl, a glass in the middle of it and on top of the glass your delicious cake on a plate. Geckos are reduced(!) around windows and "favorite spots" with an aerosol I found in Thaiwatsadu (against lizards). Spraying all my windows around the house needs 1 can (around 140 bht). But afterwards much less gecko "leftovers" for several weeks. And no poison used and no gecko killed. The geckos who manage to come inside the house get hunted by our cat... I don't kill scorpions, but catapult them with a broom out of my sight. Snakes - I only had a few outside of the house so far. I have a phone number to call from a local snake-catcher in case. But not used so far.

I always get a receipt at 7/11. Additionally I also see the total amount on the display clearly. A young lady - I guess it was here firs day there - once didn't hand it out automatically. I asked and got it.

I really don't understand what you want to say. Jakobs family is asking for help, and not for blaming anybody.

At the airport after checking in your luggage you pass by Immigration anyway. You go ther, apologize directly for your overstay and pull out the sum that is needed. As already mentioned it's 500Baht per day. You might get a big stamp in your passport, where the amount of the fine ist done by handwriting. Good luck, and just stay polite with he immigration officers.
