Is trump trying to surrender Ukraine again?
Hi Are you aware of the massive corruption scandal that has broken in the Ukraine? 100M USD or more. It pales in comparison to the past and involves government high ranking officials. A Ukraine academic at Clark University stated that any shred of hope and believability the citizens may have had for the government is lost. She went on to say that elections have not happened in years and anyone publicly protesting is sent to front lines to die. If it's a female then her male family members sent. It's right out of a dystopian novel. Check out System Update Glenn Greenwald or Google it. Below is synopsis

Would you pay 900bt for LUNCH buffet ?
I don't do all you can eat and especially don't like buffets. Low quality food, food sitting 900b for a meal I should be stuffed - just order a proper meal it comes hot and made on order

What minimum balances do you keep in Thailand?
I live in Bangkok and spend about 20k pm excluding medical, big ticket, holidays. I buy some groceries for weekends, wife has own job and spend. I'm guessing 100k + you're loaded and you're kinda new here and ... you don't much like local food

What minimum balances do you keep in Thailand?
Thanks for that I wasn't allowed to keep the insurance. The govt placed a poison pill in the law and I needed to be registered in a domicile. That was impossible. I guess given you have catastrophic health insurance it's ok amount Appreciated

What are some overlooked or good value areas to live in 2025?
555 no one is going to give up their neighborhood to a stranger on a public forum 🤣 My suggestion would be first to decide if you need all the farang BS on Sukhumvit. If so, you're stuck on BTS. Look on those major stations. If you can live more local than MRT is viable. Get off at hate to say it but each stop and have a look. Having said all that. You're looking for a short term rental to bring a prostitute. At 15k on a monthly and in high season not easy. Huai Kwang on MRT. Nana, phra kanong, on nut bts. Older area in Silom or Sathorn possible although Sathorn maybe to local vibe for you I'd look right around Nana bc that's where it's all going on. If you are living in say on nut and need to taxi there from Nana or Asoke at night that's usually a problem. If you are trying to get a bird to do outcall if you're out past on nut that may be a problem. As I recall there are a bunch of service apartment along Sukhumvit approximately past ekamai on eastward on BTS. You need to walk it unfortunately Ploen chit is too far west and generally speaking out of that budget plus no apartments directly on BTS line. On nut, phra kanong and further out have cheaper stuff as Yagoda stated . I think V monument a long shot for short term flat. Nana is really it for you pal imo Take her on a date? You mean a shag right? If you're looking for an actual proper apartment that you would be proud to have a decent woman in That's not going to be what you've described. The money is fine it's the short rental the problem. . In your op you pretty much know the score. Have a look

Need major dental work. Looking for a good dentist
Another note on this place. The cleaning is dirt cheap b1000 but I and an aquaintence found it lacking. I complained later and my dentist gave me a good cleaning free. He might have used airflow. It seemed so but I've never specifically asked for it so I've no idea exactly how it feels or what it does. When I go back in February for cleaning I'll use him but I do expect that might be paying more. The point of me posting this is the place is fine for cleaning, but I would still stick with this dentist. Most small clinics charge absolute minimum b1,200 now in Bangkok so I'm not surprised. It was too fast and superficial. It might have also been the dentist technique. Perhaps she was very new. No idea

Probably not the same. Apologies. The one I was thinking about was posted on TV many years ago. A foreigner was handling the email for the particular dentist

No, that is the direct line. I would get their Line if the 09# in the image isn't it. Their written English will be far better and you'll have a record of the discussion. I just communicate with Line. It often takes a few hours to get back to me. At times a bit annoying but my guess is there's probably only one person that can write English there. That area is bustling. Central is full of beautiful women. Kasetsart university (& Horwang school) close by. Another small mall plus Union mall. Lots of food options BUT I'm unaware of any hotels around in that immediate area Sutthisan is ten minutes away and a few there. Aspira maybe 1250b and is literally steps from the MRT. I know a cheaper place but don't want to post it here. Huai Kwang next stop south has loads of hotels many small and inexpensive also Swissotel. Asoke city center is about 15 minutes by MRT from both of the above If you are coming in from Issarn ?? it's morchit to Chatuchak or Kampeng Phet MRT (40b moto) and south a few minutes.

Need major dental work. Looking for a good dentist
I had taken amoxicillin. The infection disappated. I left the tooth in which was probably stupid of me As I continue to look for dentist to do the implant. Between looking and living life years past. I don't recommend doing that . Enough with these types comments and questions. Let's keep the threat on track for people that need implants

Need major dental work. Looking for a good dentist
Root canal is bull<deleted>. They can and often do go bad. One of my implants was replacing a bad root canal. The crown had cracked and reinfected the root. Not only that but any decent root canal is well over $800 especially aud. It's like 60k thb now I bet with scope. But they always go bad because they get brittle and break or the crown breaks or something but it always needs replacing anyway. They're problematic and old technology. You're just a geezer obviously If you have an extraction and Don't need any bone grafting, go for the Korean implant this will probably only run you about 45k all in.

You must be English with bad teeth? What a negative attitude. 70 is only 5 years away. I can jog three kilometers at one go. You act like it's death's door. Another thing is if you don't replace many teeth the rest will shift and you'll lose even more

Need major dental work. Looking for a good dentist
IF this is the same dentist and situation... Years ago I contacted this dentist. Theres a foreigner that does the admin work online. As I recall and I'm only recalling... Trip was not worth it from Bangkok, scheduling and convenient and the price is weren't all that different. I found it kind of sketchy and didn't pursue. I'm sure that dentist is totally legit I just didn't like the logistics of it all and as I recall the price wasn't compelling. Feel free to do your own research EDIT: on second thought read prior post I'm not sure at all this is the same place but possible. I'm not trying to push you or persuade you to go anywhere

They provide amoxicillin, mouthwash and ibuprofen inexpensively. You can reject all. Admin just puts it away. No hard sell I have plenty of ibuprofen around. Further, I would only take antibiotics if I had an infection.

Noted. I don't care as long as they are experts. This is the world we now live in. Everyone is freelance. Wife's work will cut her to freelance at 55. This dentist has done exclusive work for me for ?? about two years
