Exploring the cost of living for retirees in Thailand
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Where can an elderly retiree find a premium health insurance for only 30-60,000 Baht per year. This is definitely not possible and will also not cover existing conditioner, for which treatments will have to be paid seperately. -
Everyone who lived in Thailand during the great flood in 2011 in some way will have to be a prepper today. Almost from one day to another bottled water and many other daily necessities were unavailable and the few stores that managed to find some, rationed the sale to only one bottle per customer. Sweet drinks seemed to have an endless supply, but for someone who only drink bottled water, life suddenly became difficult. That is why that ever since drinking water became widely available again, I have always kept one months supply in my storage room. Unfortunately I don't like the bitter taste of filtered water, which is why I dont use a water filter in my home.

No, that is not how modern pricing works. But it may affect the profits at Apple Company. -

I used to drink this <deleted>, until it gave me Diabetes and bad Kidneys. Both improved rapidly after I stopped drinking it. -

I hope that there will also be a proper check, if he or his family have gained any unusual wealth in the past years. -

Advice sought on best small hatchbacks/cars
Xonax replied to Toolong's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Toyota Yaris is a great car and very easy to drive. Car manufacturers in Thailand, for some reason, tend to shut down production lines for several months at a time, making showrooms empty for some of the most popular models. I have been in the market for a Honda H-RV the last couple of years, but keep finding empty showrooms and no brochures available, every time I have visited a Honda dealer showroom. -
It really hate being forced to play Whack-a-mole on the phone, when you only have a few minutes to search for important news. The video pop-up is the most annoying add, since it takes a little while, before you are allowed to whack it and very difficult to whack it at very the edge of the screen. I have made it my specialty, to whack the pop-ups without noticing what the ad is about, since I am not interested in any kind of ads, unless they are guaranteed to make me rich.

Why invest in fancy toilets/handwashing facilities, when sewage water is freely available in every street? The photo and article is NOT from Thailand but from Malaysia, but who hasn't seen something similar in Thailand. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/malaysian-restaurant-caught-out-washing-plates-in-a-puddle-on-the-street/332PFP25C3AEQEJSBIQXBO4TBE/

Travel demand fuels a boom in Asia Pacific — in hotel rates
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The Honeymoon will be over again, as soon as we get past Songkran. I have given up travel this year, but I am happy to stay at home, rather than to support those greedy hotels. It is not just the hotel rates, but everything connected to tourism that have gone up, like car and bike rental, tours and even restaurant prices. -

Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I totally agree that voluntary prostitiution should be allowed. Even though this means, that women are allowed to financially abuse men, by selling what should be given for free. -
The untold story of the teenage mother of a missing baby
Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I guess that her boyfriend was unhappy with the baby, since he wasnt the father.
