to be clear, when you write 1M5 did you mis key 5 instead of MM......i.e. did you mean 1.5MM or something else? tia easily confused.:)

trying to get a feel for the basics of what a first time home purchaser needs to arrange to qualifit y for bank loan financing. - not one of the big developers. it is an existing house, in Surathani town. listed privately for 1.79 million baht. only thing I am interested in, is there a standard % of a deposit ( i mean equity) that the buyer has to have?.Tia.

i suggest you inform yourself on 2 issues: 1. it is a known fact that Netanyahu financed Hamas, in order to ensure that the Palestinian Authority did not gain enough political power, so as to win statehood.. 2. PRo-Isaeli friends from the States argue that ''you have to go back to the time of King David'' What rubbish. if we all use that argument, then for starters, let's rewrite history - to suit each of our beliefs; which is what Israel is trying to do. Recreate Judeah. Further along that line of irresponsible (criminally illogical) thinking - the US should surrender the land they stole from the NA native Indians.

excellent info source. please share. no, but i he goes to BKK a lot and I'd imagine his offer will be to take it there to get the battery replaced,

good idea - the Advice (sp?) - they used to be in Surat town. not sure of they moved. but will check it out best idea yet.

thanks will check it out. my recollect is that the tricky part s re-sealing the tablet afterwards. actually, there is a PC teckie in our village. fingers crossed.

that's a fair comment. The 2nd thing that crossed my mind, after reading what weapon used was used by the gun man ('boy' ?) was - THANK GOD he didn't know about the weapons available to him, in accordance with Trump's Supreme Court ruling about bump stocks ''not being guns'' Justice Roberts. Are bump stocks illegal? Bump stocks remained illegal for nearly all US civilians until the regulation was struck down on June 14, 2024, by the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Garland v. Cargill. Imagine that - if only the shooter had been following the news.

the annoying thing is, just before 12 month warranty ended, in Dec 2023, i returned the Surface, complaining about poor battery performance. they either fixed it (or, most likely, gave me a replacement refurbished unit). i am 90% certain they returned my model to me. maybe i should cut my losses and quit. except I'm committed to a massive coastal erosion project on my land. so money is too tight to mention 🙂

thanks for advice. i'm living in a village in NST. Nearest town is Surathani. i've sent my wife's several iPads, to BKK., to have cracked screens replaced. the shop doesn't do Surface tablets

i love you too much, woody 🙂

oh for some posts worth reading, than this tripe. has anyone noted the obvious subject being missed. the lack of control over gun purchases in the USA (shooters dad bgt the gun and did not lock it up) is the main reason for this tragedy. Just like all the innocents who get shot dead every year. due to people like you.

any suggestions. ? tia.

sources, Skipalong ? just post 10 examples, would ya?

well said

you'll have to buy a bicycle, to follow me around......gas stations, restaurants, parking lots. it will keep you busy from posting mentally challenging responses 🙂

getting desperate, are we? to 'read' something into this is just just not there.

feed back i get from the service staff at various Sizzler outlets i eat at, is that customers using QR do NOT add a tip. In fact, well to do Thais are notoriously cheap with tipping. hell, i'll even tip the petrol station staff.

i got a bridge for sale........

dear god, would you just zip the lip? there are very few details available yet.

what's your point? have you set up a land holding company or are you just lost? are you are referring to the fact that a private company has to file audited financial statements every year.? or are you asking about the risks of using nominees ?

'all hat and no cattle' ?, as they say in Texas. 🙂

let me list a couple of expensive ''blunders'' by these 2 keystone cop rascals: 1. besides his initial brilliance as PM, Thaksin earned a TON of money, by ''acquiring'' the satellite bands, owned by Thailand and managed by the Military; which he mysteriously ''acquired''. Then, he was off to AIS heaven. Which he subsequently sold control off, illegally, to Telemask, a foreign entity. Both acts were treasonous. Yingluck? came up with (i) the tablet for every child (seen any lately?);(ii) the 100k grant to sucker Thais into buying a new car and go into further debt (iii) and the rice deal ? how much of Thailand's wealth lost - US$20 BILLION +. now, the 10 years old rice, left after that clustfruck, is being mixed with new rice and sold to Africa. Result: The reputation of Thailand rice being #1 in the world is permanently destroyed. All by 2 people with the same surname: Shinawatra. living her 26 years, I have learned the philosophy of how damaging hate is to one's self. But, if you love this country and its people, it is hard not to hate this family.

I had to overnight in Surathani town , to get my car serviced. I went out for a couple of beers with a friend and her friends. all singles, early 30's. a mix of men and women. They spoke limited English. we chatted about music and jobs,, 2 guys had taxis - one was a Grab taxi, the other had managed to own a car. the women were usually sales clerks in retail shops. they earn approx. 12.5k-16k a month. the higher number includes sales commission the lower figure means no or very little commission earned in a month. most of these Thais were single. some lived with parents, had a boyfriend or girl friend. one of the others was divorced with 2 kids at school. rented a house and was making car payments. no support from the ex-husband (which apparently is normal). The singles - I can see managing fine, (just about). Had a good time, practiced my limited Thai and split - as I'm married. I did squeeze out of the the single mother, that, yes, maybe she was in debt (mafia loans) . Despite high schooling, she was happy to pay 10% interest per month on her loans.? I and my expat wife have lived here for 26 years. This was a first for me, to see how younger Thais live. my question is - are these salaries typical for socially capable of working in a senior retail sales job, respectably dressed Thai adults (men and women). cheers,
