Pattaya markets
Impossible to get the right size if you order on Lazada. I have sent loads of stuff back as they don't fit, so never order there now.

Bogan Australians
No different to the British equivalent who seem to be here in greater numbers. I am sure they come for the weed and to top up their tattoos. Why i avoid Soi Buakhao now.

Buying a condo

Buying a condo
He is not investing he is buying somewhere to live for 20 years. If he chooses the right place place it is well worth doing. Certainly NOT a ground floor condo in Arcadia.

Pattaya is grinding to a halt
I dread it when they open the 10,000 + new condos along 2nd Road, Thappraya Rd the traffic will be murder. Better get used to walking.

3BB Invoices Confusing?
Anyone else find 3BB pricing confusing? Last April i paid for a 1 year deal, supposedly to get one month free. Last month, January they said my credit had expired? and i need to pay more. So i got 9 months. They showed me a total mess of figures that i could not follow. So now i just pay monthly from their invoice which i can understand.

Study reveals why life exists on Earth—and nowhere else
So why are the skies (and seas) full of alien space craft. Thousands of videos support this, including from offical USAF pilots. Many cases of actual aliens being encountered and captured (look at the Varginha event in Brazil). Why do people deny this evidence?

British guys, how much trouble is starmer in?
Dictators like Starmer never resign. McSweeny was thrown under a bus to avoid Starmer taking any responsibility. Sickening.

2x half million baht donation for police
I think it has got a lot worse in the last 3-4 years. My theory is that the stoners coming here for cheap weed are buying these big bikes and racing around to show off. They come down Thappraya Road like its the Le Mans straight blipping their throttles. Sad the police do nothing about it.

Any news about tax return ?

Notification of staying in The Kingdom (Over 90 days) – TM 47
No just go to the first 90 day desk on the right side. They will check your documents and give you a queue number. When your number is called the next desk gives you the new 90 day slip, usually fairly quickly.

How much did your health insurance premium go up this year?
I find that hard to believe. So the premiums you pay for health insurance will stay the same at age 60,65,70,75,80+?

How much did your health insurance premium go up this year?
Why i don't have health insurance. If you started a plan at 50 and paid until you were 80 (when you need it most) how much would you pay out i'm guessing 2-3 million baht. At 73 i would have already paid 2 million and i've been in perfect health upto now. 3 million buys a lot of health care. Plus you stand the risk of being kicked out at 80 or the premiums becoming totally unaffordable. OK it's a risk but if you are a non smoker and take care of yourself weight wise then it's a fair risk. A farang in my condo got cancer at 77 (he was a heavy smoker). He had good insurance so he got the works, chemo, ICU etc but he was still dead within a year. The millions he spent on health insurance did him no good.
