Do you never think about hedging by having some assets in Thailand in case the pound crashes?

Better places than Thailand for that.

Oh my goodness, I don't worry about our "investments" being about to support our measly rent every month nor our landlord deciding to keep the deposit, raise the rent or make an inspection.  As I said, we checked out her and her husband as thoroughly as they did us.  We have many mutual acquaintances.  As I wrote earlier, you don't go into these arrangements straight off the boat.

 

 

Why didn’t you move to Malaysia?

Nice from him to give the locations of the checkpoints .

Like this it is easy to avoid them ...

So in this case you choose to believe he will do what he says, but not in others. So convenient you have the choice.

Oh no, not again.

Should I make sure all the starving kids in Africa get fed before I have my next beer?

Hell yes if you could.

But it is not a choice you have so why ask the absurd?

My experience is different from yours doesn't mean it isn't true.

Yes but why is yours usually worse than others at immigration, at banks, even restaurants?

English from England you know ...

Bonnet for hood - not a ladies hat, boot for trunk - not a type of footwear, bog for toilet ...

All comes from driving on the wrong side of the road - 555

Take it back and keep it there.  You should know that some stuff needs to be kept locked up????.

Every flight HKT -> BKK -> CNX makes you self-transfer - i.e. re-check your luggage etc... so does that mean it's literally impossible to fly from Phuket to Chiang Mai without technically "coming from" Bangkok?

No

I don’t care about modern or schooled at all, even well equipped is not always necessary.  
 

Results matter.

A lot of folks go to Pro Auto because Ton speaks English.  They would not be there otherwise.  The excellent mechanics with limited English just are not on their screens.
