I am in a "second-tier" city, so I must have stayed in my vacuum and forgotten that places do exist in LOS that have Reubens. I've been to BKK many times, but I never looked for one. Pattaya only one day over 15 years ago, and never Phuket. apologies. Back to my white rice. lol.

https://www.samuiforsale.com/real-rights/usufruct-property-rights.html I think this is related. I know a guy who is now 80s, nearing death, broke, miserable, and lost it all in LOS. He had one of these. Got an inheritance, got married, built some homes, did this usufruct, and...... 10 years or so later, she kicked him out, and he went to court for years. years. A very long time. He lost. lost it all. had to leave Thailand, and well,l it only went downhill from there. I don't have all the facts, sorry. But when I see this 99-year lease thing, I think of my friend's usufruct, and I saw him lose it all....... I hope his case is super rare, there are facts he didn't tell me that are very relevant, and this is a safe thing....But I have my questions.

Once you find this in Thailand, THEN we can talk about dressings.

we all created this world. we all go and watch movies, listen to music, get excited over entertainment. 99.999% kids would rather learn how to be a brain surgeon from Lisa than a real doctor. We created this. We did this. She has zillions and we complain online. The world won't listen to us. It's too late. I just liked her last 'gram post...OMG, if she sees it my life is complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

church and state, not state and court. executive order #88734847010487349073407341, supreme court will send me their cliff notes for ratification. fired without cause possible. b-day present, new jet, taken out of their salaries. Trump will do whatever he wants, no matter what. I'm curious to see how this plays out. I'm sure he'll get away with it all, so let the man cook!!!! I'm in Thailand, cook Trump, cook!!!!!

even a few years ago I would pay 100 baht to my Thai bank to print out statements showing 20k. I thought this was still in place. anyhow. Now the "funny" thing is I talked to many people from other countries with fake bank statements. It's impossible to check. You can't call Russia and ask to confirm a bank statement. lol. I've seen this at least a few times. cash would make more sense, or something better. 20k baht is nothing for 60 days. 100k makes more sense. Tourist visa makes no sense if the border stamp is also 60 days. Backtracking a little bit...... if tourist visa and you are in your home country, then maybe the Thai embassy can check it a little better (can tell if the bank statements look real) or there's a more reliable way to check if they really have the money. Anyhow, they are trying. plane ticket, 20k....better than nothing for LOS

I'll chime in because I'll retire next year and can look back and try to understand all my prior mistakes. 1. YOLO. I remember in my 30's thinking if I didn't buy this sports car now I won't buy it in my 50's. well, that was correct. bought about 5 total, all bad financial decisions. same with sports equipment, kitchen appliances, house upgrades, etc...... 2. Boredom/depression/anxiety/dopamine. Never really figured out what it was, I think anxiety and dopamine mix. Anyhow, bought something (could be between $20 and $5000, but had to be something) almost every week just to get that rush of something new coming. 3. Used items. Same rush, much cheaper, but it's still spending money. parents prob. spoiled me on a relative basis and i just never grew up....who knows. i knew the problem, only fix was just buy something cheaper. 4. It's either a house or nothing. When you have, say $10k to $50k a house is still not possible if single without a stable job. So then it just goes to zero. to get a lot of money you really need to invest in the big picture. you do need money. 5. Boredom, again. Let's see if I can go from 100k to 0k and make it work. yes, you can. work, save money, quit, freedom, get worried about money, work more, save more, budget more, think more...it's crazy how humans (most) Just seem to make it work. I had to test this theory a few times. it did work every time. 6. Family money. Most people just rely on inheritance or family money or some "solid" support group and so their savings don't matter. Since there's no timeline or guarantee on how this plays out, you can waste decades always being broke. I've seen many people take this route and very rarely it works out well. 7. Random expenses. Medical (not emergency), traveling, something breaks, get fired, whatever....this wipes someone out for a year or two. Now, if you get married and/or have a kid then I'm sure it's a bottomless pit if you start with 50k baht... for decades I kept putting money into my ROTH IRA. ah, I am not sure if I can retire in America (will do the math next year), but Thailand should be fine for decades.... never felt rich and never felt poor (Thai standards).....but I did fake it rich for decades and that must be better than faking it poor. Had a Porsche (company's car) and lived in a 2.5 million dollar house (company's retreat) for a few years. def. doesn't make you happy when it's not yours and your salary is less because you get perks. ah, whatever....not complaining. life is not easy, and it gets harder when you realize the 9-5 grind won't get you out of the box. i failed a million times trying to break out of the cycle....Thailand, coffee shop. nope. massage place, nope. hotel, doubtful. travel agency, probably not. it's tough. but try.

well, well, well........Mr. Foreigner. You are about to have a very bad day. Thanks for playing.

Telling a kid 16-20 you are giving them 10,000 baht.......free.......hope eternal. shopee all day, lazada, dreams of a better life!!!!! the excitement must have been crazy. 10k is more than 1 month at 711. and then reality. Beat it, kid!!!!! NOPE yea, those kids will never forget. ever.

Thanks. I have a US bank account with USD in it; however, a few years back, they froze the account because I was in Thailand (yes, I told them, and yes, they knew...lol). When I called, it was just one big headache after another. Then the card expired. It's on my to-do list. Next year I think I'll do the Schwabe international account....seems to have a good reputation. ChatGPT tells me this...maybe next year I'll visit CM and take care of it. This has been on my to-do list for only two years...lol....TiT. Yes, it is possible to pay for an American passport in Thailand using Thai baht (THB). You can pay for your passport in THB at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok or the U.S. Consulate General in Chiang Mai. Payment methods accepted include credit cards, debit cards, or U.S. dollars.

same senator now got 1 million TTT coins set to float in a week and will be in charge of pulling the rug. payout of 10 million. he's now at Mar Lego or eaLeggo my waffle or wherever sippin gin and juice, laid back, got my mind on my money and my money on my mind

well, well, well......... As the labor president, we have a few new demands!!!!!! 1. Farangs pay less than Thais for 50 years to make up for paying more. 2. Free massages for the first forty-four days 3. Visa-exempt stamp 90823743289047324 days 4. Can buy beer 24/7, 365 5. Owning land, houses, businesses, etc.....wait until only 1 Chinese person comes, then we'll talk.

only have like 5 pages left......well, make that 4. so two pages, back to back.....4. that's passport number 2 filled. visa is one year, so I'll renew mine at the start of 2026 maybe. I'm reading can only pay online in USD. What if I only have a Thai bank account? Maybe I have to go to the bank, convert to USD, then send the USD? hmmmmm... plus 100 baht for return envelope, which will be in Thai baht since using a Thai service. Is there a better way? I think in person I paid like 7000 baht last time......in baht. hmmmm. U.S. Embassy Bangkok 95 Wireless Road Bangkok 10330, Thailand Tel: +66-2-205-4000

In LOS where every bad farang story is publicized, I'm sure these people getting mugged would be going to the police. Daily occurrence so 365 times in a year.....and I can't think of ONE story I heard of a farang mugging another farang. Nobody's getting mugged and doing nothing in Thailand if it's a farang who mugs you. I do agree with your first few sentences, however. not the mugging part.

Anti-Acceptance Speech Act of 2025. 45.392.28,20. Citizenship immediately renounced, shipped to Canada. Overstay penalty of 500 baht!!!! House seized, money sent to the farangs of Thailand.

most obscene picture i've ever seen in my life. violates over 38 million human rights according to the UN. I demand it scrubbed from the internet immediately. it's too late.....things are in motion.................it's started..................... lock down!!!! Get the apaches up now!!! Blackhawks!!!! Sub codes entered. Defcon 3

live poor forever and die with no debt. honorable. play the game, avoid jail, get real or fake billions, exploit everyone. up to you. we all die anyhow. live in a million dollar home, eat well forever, never worry about money, go bankrupt a few times....die. is that OK? OK, back to my rice bowl.

tell ANY country I'd be willing to accept a 400,000,000 USD plane. Then force eBay to list it as it's ONLY item or else. Then buy my coin and after I get another 10 million USD I'll send you each a red hat made in China for only $199,99 or three easy payments of $938 each. money and power, money and power. gin and juice.

Of course!!!!!!! My mind was thinking limes, but my dumb fingers wrote lemons. Limes!!!! Always limes!!!!!! lol. มะนาว

In Mexico City, millions chant, "You Bao Xia" every Tuesday morning at 11:34. Oh, it's very popular outside of China and Thailand. I told them, tell Jingthing!!!!! guess you didn't get the message.... Pad Thai is hit or miss, usually miss. Most of my Thai friends don't eat it, which speaks volumes. But in a small village in the Congo, Pad Thai rules the land!!!!! Stir fried.....yea, not all oils are the same. or sugar, msg, who knows........I own a 5-star restaurant in Argentina and my Polish chef makes Pad Thai with lemons procured from the shores of Chile. $393 USD per ounce. We've never had a Thai customer. Almost any food article is worthless.....

The comments on X are hilarious. ----- Jake in the Red Light District of Thailand, picking up sex workers, while condemning OnlyFans girls. The irony. ----- It's funny when people say Thais don't know about history. I'm not 100% sure, since you are asking them in English and maybe German or World War or Holocaust doesn't register the way you think. Ask them in Thai and then get back to us...... Same thing in China. Ask them in Chinese, they get it. Ask them in English they ask, What? and you think they have no idea.

Both. My company will pay an extra 4.5993834 percent, and then I'll mark up the product by 39348334343 percent. Let's go!!!!

Luckily for you, I am a doctor and also play one online. I'm a brain and heart surgeon, but I know nothing about the hiring process. I have also designed rockets and submarines, but I don't want to flex too hard. You have come to the right place!!!!!

Only go there if you absolutely must. I'd skip Ubon city, but the province has some nice parts. Ubon city is about as similar to Pattaya as Bangkok is to Cheyenne, Wyoming, USA.
