Yes, pak kom. Spinach. Belief is a little bit different and it's a little lighter in color. So what. Oh no...it's not the precise variety of true spinach in States or West... That I can buy a bunch of it for a dollar here in Thailand. What shall I ever do?? 🙄 Can't be eating any of that ..

Understood. Nevertheless, being a married man of 15 years on O visa is very different than being some chav 'lifecoach' on whatever he can grub at the border. While I don't at all disagree with the sentiment, given economic situation of the country it seems they need every retiree that they can hold. I'm now of the opinion that we're going to start getting taxed up the ying yang because these governments love to spend money but cannot come up with an economic plan that generates it. We will all suffer increasing VAT. I think the income tax thing will become a lot more real in the next year or two or three. I recently read an article in the last day or two stating that the government is looking for an exit / departure tax . Funny... The government just taxes but they don't think that they need to provide anything for those taxes. This is especially in the case of foreigners. Let's say there's a very important and they don't pay any tax at all aside from VAT. They receive catastrophic healthcare and all of the infrastructure needs are set up for them... Roads, rail systems, subways and monorail. They are tight Nationals and fair is fair Meanwhile you pay vat, possible tax on employment if you're working here, any excise taxes within the country, any import tariffs on a number of goods. If you don't pay employment tax you will pay tax on income brought into the country. They are now digging deep into the poors pockets to get them to pay for VAT (sellers). Thailand might become very expensive for us long stay tourist. We all might be better off on TRs. Looking into the future I don't see this government doing much of anything to correct serious deficiencies in the economy and government. If going back home wasn't so bloody expensive I would. This current government seems more concerned with bringing Taksin back into Thailand and creating extremely dubious casinos which Thai people absolutely do not need.

You're absolutely and thoroughly clueless. The economy of Thailand has been in the toilet for a quarter century. But hey, you're card carrying leftist so it's a given you know nothing about economics and finance. Its been a slow burn buoyed by 100s of millions of damaging tourists over that period. Now... rubber hits the road... Thai Central Bank says hold on to your Depends.... https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2025/05/10/thailand-is-entering-a-dark-economic-storm-in-late-2025-lasting-at-least-a-year-says-central-bank-boss/

Tops brand is only 35b 200g. 👍👍👍

Thanks for that. I really like ribeye. NY strip AU always has nasty side of fat. Aussie really should trim that better at least for export. I need to get down to macro. I've gone once since it opened on Sukhumvit 22. Just had a look. Lots of frozen beef. Incidentally, there is not only fancy spinach b65 for 150gm, but right next to it I found tops brand 200 g 4 b35. I'm in heaven...

Well, that's one way to keep government spending in check 🚀 👍👍

A gay man wants to bring a d ildo into the country illegally. Posts to Thai Visa. My how times have changed. Just buy one on sukumvhit Nancy

I never do. Nor banking apps. Phone gone... Not a moments sleep lost As if it's some chore to pull bills out of your pocket and hand them to someone lol. So many corporations get access to your data for which you are not paid. In fact you pay for the privilege of using those silly cards.

Well, just for the record I won't be wearing any stupid mask nor will I be getting a death vax

This subforum should be renamed: Cry About Trump Here

What are YOU going to do about it? Oh right ... complain Evidently, spend hundreds of hours online every month complaining.

It's hilarious your post rec'd 4 downvotes. This is an EXACT description of the screetchers. Textbook The down votes just show how absolutely deluded that they are This board has degenerated into much like a bunch of children on Reddit.

What is especially annoying for most of these respondents is that in my op I specifically stated it was not pak boong. You should be a flag clearly to those intellectually challenged members that I know the difference between the two. This was fresh and there is absolutely no way that anyone could mistake one for the other of these fresh green vegetables. If no other reason pak boong is like 1/3 the cost as well. You people are absolutely clueless

The bunch I had b65. It fried up into a portion for one. I'll buy it again but just use it in salads. I love to fry spinach and garlic and olive oil but b130 for a side dish for two is a bit on the pricey side

Wow, how annoying you are. I have never in my life felt that I have at least bit issue with kidney stones even at 65. It's not even a remote concern in the back of my mind. At b65 a small package I think I would have to spend a small fortune to even get the tiniest of kidney stone from eating spinach and Thailand LOL You people are absolutely ridiculous. So, I'll leave you to your white bread and your deep fried pizza. You can avoid kidney stones 👍👍
