  1. If you invested 100$ in Tesla or Apple or Microsoft you are multimillionaire also . You can try convince me that crypto's are a good investment but they are not . They are speculation . That is also why they are so volatile , they move up/down 10% to 1000% in a week , making it maybe fun to watch but is not called good investment . It can be a rewarding gamble , like a lottery ticket , but that does not mean it is a good investment . I do know a few people who trade on crypto's and they always try convince others how good it is . A few of the people who they did convince are already out of the market because they lost 50% or more on that so called "good investment" . While stockmarkets also got difficult times , you will not see the same movements , which is why they are much better investments , especially for people who do not look at their computers/phones buying and selling their investments .
  2. I did not say it , if you read my previous post , you will see that BTC or any other will always be around . But in case of general public investment , no it isn't. It is nothing but air , a digital unique number but with nothing behind it . Would you like to buy my fart in a bag ? I can assure you it is absolutely unique , given that there is a market for it ? If so , would you recommend it to everybody to do the same ? Because that is what it is , Like i said , some people will make lots of money on it , even becoming very rich . But that doesn't mean it is a good investment for everybody , which they make you believe that crypto's are .
  3. Yes , you are right. But with a Picasso you do got a painting , which you are supposed to like if you buy it . Even if nobody else likes it , you can watch it hanging on your wall . Same with any other piece of art or wine or something else . You do got something in your hand . In fact i own a few watches and according to the 2nd hand prices right now i can sell them with nice profit . Saying that laos leads me to the next point , i wear them and maybe i do sell them at 1 point or not but otherwise i wear them , like i did when i bought them in the 1st place . You might take your bitcoin or any other digital current in a offline wallet and get that HDD in your pocket anywhere , but then it is still just a HDD . In case of stocks , yes also speculative , but also there , you are supposed to think this company will do good , and continue to grow . Would you invest in a company which do not make anything ? The HDD company where the BTC is stored , yes might be , the data on the HDD , naaahh not interested .
  4. being used/demand for it is not the same like a valuable thing . Yes , there will certainly always be a demand for it , especially in "dark money" . It is something different then investing in it for the general public . Charts do not mean anything , since there is basically nothing at all backing it . There is nothing more then a digital number . I always said it and i will keep saying it . Will some people get rich from it , yes , but again that is something else then investing for the general public .
  5. go to Globalhouse or similar , show them a pic . This is very known in Thailand , not difficult to find .
  6. IMHO always the departure country , so if you fly 1st from Ireland and for flight number the number you arrive to Thailand . That is always what i imagined it had to be .
  7. It is not water , It is glycerine and propylene glycol . The glycerine is the visible smoke , but holds nearly no flavor and evaporates at higher temp . The prop glycol is not visible but holds flavors very well and reduces the boiling temperature . The flavors used should be non harmful , they can't be oil based ( or you get what they call popcorn lungs , and there have been cases before of it happening ) . The flavors are many times the same they use in cooking products . So if you can cook with them , basically the same elements you smell are the same used in vaping , only at different amount and different solvent used . I did vape for a few years , but thx to the ban in Thailand i had to switch each time in Thailand back to regular cigs and at 1 point , i couldn't switch back to vaping again ( unfortunate). I can tell you from personal experience that it is a lot better to vape then to smoke . For taste , smell , color of skin , fresh breath , lung capacity ... In causing cancer it off course can't be known like that but let me explain it to you different . With smoking , you burn stuff . Burning stuff breaks down organic material into different components , which are not there before . With vaping you do not burn , you boil . With boiling , the original components stay the same , only at different state , which is much better controlled on what is in that vapor , dangerous or not .
  8. You are correct , i did think you still needed a visa for it . But TP isn't hard or a lot of work , if you planning to stay longer then a month , a whole lot more paperwork need to be done for a standard 2 month tourist visa .
  9. Thai Pass might not be like before , but it ain't rocket science . If you go longer then 1 month , there is a lot more paperwork to do then you got to do for Thai Pass. I did it 2 weeks ago , including the hotel reservation ( which i now cancelled since no longer needed , arrival on 11th ) and including buying the insurance and booking the hotel , that was done in +/- 1 hour and then scanning it all and putting it in TP took me another 15 mins or so . I did it on 14th , so Songkran on Thursday , thinking this will take at least a week . Monday i did get my TP ... yes it is a bit more of a hassle then before , but going to US for a 3 day visit from Europe requires also much more .
  10. Yes , it was a "vending machine" which you needed to put a 500 baht note in when leaving the country , gave you a ticket which they checked at immigration . As far as i know , it was just a tax and was later included in airport tax which you pay together with your airplane ticket .
  11. It is very clear on that page .... again , if you open something official like that and a big popup screen opens , read it just a tiny bit to know if it is for you or not. This is not difficult to understand and is very clear . I did not made the text larger, these are not small letters tucked away in a corner somewhere .
  12. Do not use too much fertilizer on fresh grass . Water is the best it needs and best a few times a day , it does got sun , together with water and halfway decent soil and it will be fine . After a while , Nitrogen fertilizer can be used , but you can also use some of the black soil they sell , sprinkled across the top . It is rich in nutrients and won't burn your grass .
  13. This is when you choose air transport ... i mean it is very clear ... I keep asking myself where these questions come from since it is a pop-up screen which covers the complete page . I mean , i do not read all the small letters also , but for something like this and opening straight away when i apply for something , i try to see what it is about ... and straight away you know ... oh yes , it is for me ( or not ).
  14. E cig : long time rule , way before Covid Drinking on beach : same and as far as i know not in all places Don't wear a mask : yes , but many countries got those rules No helmet : Thais get fines also Pay extra : always have been like that ( well at least 30y i don't know about 50 or 100 y ago ) Expensive THB : it is lower then last few years , with 1 peak exception last year . Before Covid , THB was way stronger . Insurance : true but i wouldn't travel without it , especially now . So , either you are willing to go Thailand or not . Most of the things have got nothing to do with Covid so it just might have been 2018 or 2025.
  15. It is not the wallet , it is where you put it . I put my wallet in front pocket and put my hand in my pocket . Back pocket , you wont feel , something i learned back in Spain when i was much younger . I did feel and didn't lose it because he gave it back straight away , but i know how fast it is ...
  16. Yes , it will fade off , and is already close to flu in order of disease . I expect a booster after summer for Europe , since they expect a peak again in autumn . Will it be just as big vaccination round as before , i highly doubt . Prob will be the same like with flu shots which are recommended for +50y or with underlying conditions . Some countries will hold on to stronger rules , but if hospital numbers are like now , there is nothing to worry about .
  17. 1st quarter was still far from OK , quite logic the numbers are not even close to before covid numbers . I think 3th quarter is the 1 to lookout for , since it should be low season , but with more easing of rules and many not traveled ( to Thailand) for +2y , i think it might just be a very good number there .
  18. THX , I will wait a few days , 1st see the official announcement and the rules . If so i cancel my hotel also , just keep all the paperwork .
  19. With 1 difference , chances of being hospitalized is much higher for unvaccinated . This should mean that their insurance policy should be higher .
  20. That's what i am thinking also . I got my Thai Pass , will wait a few days more till official announcement and then email the hotel , i do not need refund .
  21. You are a joke .... and better take care you take the right flight or you fall of the flat earth .
  22. Like that is the worst you can imagine .... come on , who cares that they sell a few items to eat , in fact might save some people some time and stay in the bar
  23. I arrive in Thailand 11 May , i got the Thai Pass already under the Test & Go scheme , including day 1 quarantine and PCR test . Can i skip this PCR test ? The hotel including test is fully payed ( i am not looking for refund , but i rather skip on PCR test since you never know maybe you got infected before and you got traces left behind ) .
