  1. What is the white thing on the bottom left.
  2. Even though the anti-vaxxers make me laugh I don't get any boosters as I reckon that the risk of Covid complications doesn't balance with the time, cost and infinitesimal probability of harmful effect of the vaccine. I got one Johnson & Johnson and four Moderna shots though.
  3. These two ladies carry rather large handbags...
  4. I enthusiastically confirm, great doctor, beautiful person, fluent english.
  5. "Balanced" I don't want balanced, I want factual, if there is another side of the coin anyone is free to show it. For instance, prostitution is illegal in Thailand, or no one gets drunk between 14:00 and 17:00.
  6. The only thing that's said here is that the Thailand's main attraction as a tourist destination are sex and drugs. The resulting body count is high, as we are also in a country that is reckless and violent. Anything inaccurate?
  7. Dunno, I watched it, and didn't see anything factually wrong, nor OTT. And just consult the figures on homicides per 100000 and road casualties if you need to convince yourself that LOS is indeed dangerous. Petty theft (mobile theft seem to preoccupy the Thais) may be somewhat different. The mainstream Thai is more honest then us, that's true and verified by Peter on several occasions.
  8. This "we" includes me so, with Anthony that makes a we we, as the French say.
  9. Been using Google maps for years, interfaces nicely with my CRV's media system. The result is much better than the Navsat of my previous CRV. Just telling..
  10. There is plenty of AI in the camera. Maybe you wanted some kind of ChatGPT that can spell dumb posts on various social media?
  11. I have pre-ordered mine (Pro), should get it end of this month. Main motivation is the camera.
  12. I should have worded "zero additional cost" as I made the decision to maintain my cover, decades ago. It had nothing to do with LTR. The LTR requirements match perfectly my situation so I just got one..
  13. Sure, at 800000 Baht a year for an international school.
  14. This type of thread is a tiny part of a campaign by the global totalitarian right to diabolise any social-democratic opposition, so that they can establish single party dictatorships. We have gone so far now that some people from the moderate left see violence as the only issue. And sadly I am convinced that civil war(s) will be the only way to recover the freedoms we enjoyed some decades ago.
  15. I understand your concern, after all he was MAGA's Joseph Goebbels wasn't he?
  16. My first reaction was to agree, but there are situations like strokes, heart attacks, accidents.. where you can't transport and need local care, unless you want to die.
  17. Read my previous post and there is the answer. If you have to take out insurance after settling in LOS you are screwed, health cover must be part of any decision making regarding your career, right after your leave University. I joined my plan in 1991. Now I don't know what self insurance could mean, I know someone who needed a simple varicocele operation, and it set him back 80k, in a shared ward of a government hospital. A triple bypass, which is quite common our days, will be 7 digits especially after an ICU stay.
  18. Not, most people, and I am one of them, have been in a corporate health plan they carried over into retirement. BOI has accepted quite a few: US government, US army, UN.. So zero cost. And most importantly, there is the Income tax issue, right now LTR/ RD 743 saves me 800000 THB a year.
  19. So? Other than positive for Thailand's economy through [a bit] more middle class spending. LTR rocks.. Always enjoy reading about LTR here. The noise from those who can't get it contrasts so cruelly with the delight of those who have it. Interestingly Ben Hart knocked it in some of his videos. But since he is a Thai citizen it must be because he can't make any money out of it.
  20. Yeah would be good to get 5% for the next couple of years. My pension is indexed.
