Most insurance companies are like mafia organizations. They do nearly everything they can, to deny claims. That is where the real money is. I despise them, and self insure as much as I can.

If only he had even a glimpse into how stunningly irrelevant he really is.

Well, I am very honest when it comes to people. Nothing but respect. I would have no problem taking advantage of, and stealing huge money from a toxic institution, that has been taking advantage of the general population for decades. No problem at all. They are not people. They are greedy corporations. Does that make me a thief at heart? Maybe. Certainly a committee or participant of major grand larceny in my dreams. Haha.

Isn't that the very definition of a military dictatorship, fascism or extreme oppression? Out with the army goons. Can't wait for Thaksin to kick some very old butt, and humiliate the regressive, and toxic numnuts.

I am an honest guy. Makes me feel good about myofe, and for me it is a basic demonstration of respect for others. However, I would steal under the right circumstances. Like fleecing a bank (with the help of an expert hacker), for $50 million. Or an insurance company. Or a hedge fund or brokerage house. I would lose no sleep over that. It would have to be worth it.

A good reason to avoid big buildings. I have friends who spend an extra 1000 baht a month, or more on electric. That has to be factored into the rent. Still a bargain? I know guys who rent nice 3 bedroom homes for 10,000 a month in smaller towns. And they pay electric at the meter rates. No landlord extortion.

Much ado about nothing. And the masked cop is pretending to do real work. It is getting to the point where those face diapers are looking downright comical. A friend of mine is a surgical nurse in a local hospital. I asked her, and she said she barely even remembers the last time they have seen a case of covid. Many just don't want to let it go.

I guess it must either be a pathological thing, or just a mental defect. But, why do some people create such problems over such tiny things? What did he owe her? 150 baht? Is he a desperado, or just a fool? Or both? Remember the good old days of covid? LOL. It was so calm here. No rotten Danes running around.

For any rental in Thailand, I would always insist on paying the metered rate. Allowing landlords to get away with marking up electricity is a crime. Don't do it.

Definitely poodles and chihuahuas. They are the best.

Putin is engaging in an assault on civilization, humanity and democracy. He is a serial killing superfreak, who likes to prey on women and children. He needs to be dealt with. If not legally, than otherwise.

This is the same desperado who said he would be caretaker PM for only two years, then hold elections. What a phony. And this man who would say or do anything is asking the nation for additional years? For what? What have you done in your lousy 8 years besides move your country backwards? No thanks. See ya. Be gone.

Well, the organ harvesting is a domestic activity in China. Blame the heinous CCP. Don't think it happens much in Thailand, so that is just outlandish projection. Crime? Relatively minimal. Outside of Pattaya tourist zones, anyway. Many other complaints may be valid and justified. Thailand needs to calm down. Thin skin is not a healthy thing to have, nor is it appealing for adults. And real adults don't deflect so much. They address problems and move on. It is referred to as improvement.

That is a big part of a declining American culture. Super litigious. But, unfortunately the worst of what America has to offer, is spreading elsewhere. As long as me too does not become adapted here, all is good. So far, it seems to be thoroughly rejected by Thai women.

In the case of child custody, I hear they actually favor foreigners over most Thais, since it is all about the means and ability to support the child. I suppose it is case by case.

I disagree. If and when the law becomes egregious, it is incumbent upon us to disobey it. Period. Been here a long time. Never carry my passport unless leaving the country or doing banking or immigration that requires it. My Thai ID or DL has always been sufficient. And I also carry a color copy of my passport and visa page. Never had an issue. Carrying the original passport is not the kind of risk I need to take. Caught in a rainstorm? Had a bit too much to drink? No thanks.

Smoking on the beach is bad. Badly fouled air is OK. Nothing like locking up a tourist for smoking to engender goodwill and improve tourism. And to think that the tourist who posted about a bungee cord breaking damaged tourism. But somehow this doesn't? I don't like second hand smoke. But, I like intrusive and overbearing government officials even less.

Some are. Some aren't. Many don't do it full time. Some guys are really hung up on whether or not they are part time. Some aren't.

We refer to them as a part time freelancer, or a gal with a lighthearted approach to sex, who gets with a guy occasionally, for some extra cash. Very innocent, in my opinion. Many Western women weigh whether or not they are going to give up the "incredibly precious prize" with the quantity of nice meals, gifts, prizes, good wines and other "considerations", that a man has bestowed upon them. Isn't what a Thai freelancer does infinitely more honest? Most of them have alot more integrity than alot of Western civilians. And the Thai gals are alot less expensive. Infinitely less.

Many would choose Thaksin over Prayuth. Or his daughter. Or anyone. In comparison, Thaksin is a giant, who accomplished much for his people, and is beloved to this day, by millions. On the other hand, Prayuth has succeeded in sabotaging Thailand to the point where it may take many years to recover. He may be liked by 1 to 2% of the population. Maybe. At most. No positive policy. No good ideas. No forward vision. Nothing but oppression, repression, suppression, lies, fabrications, deflection, a total unwillingness to man up and take responsibility for anything, enrichment for the army, and his buddies, a totally failed leadership, a failed vaccination drive, a failed Covid recovery plan, economic destruction, and stunning sabotage of the once vibrant tourism industry. And little to no assistance to the millions who were living on scraps. If you had tried to reduce your nation from a once powerful giant tiger shark, to a tiny, insipid, sickly minnow, you could not have done a better job.

It is called victim culture, and is the polar opposite of the generations of the past. An advocate of wimp culture may called it repressed behavior, but these heros came back from the horrific experiences of WWII, and barely ever uttered a complaint. They just got on with their lives. There is a huge gap between a hero and a wimp.

Outstanding news and the correct decision. There could be a separate category. But, not women's sports. Totally unfair, unjust and just pandering to PC nonsense.

Absolutely not needed. Too risky. I always carry a color copy of the passport and visa page. Always been adequate. Helps to have a Thai ID of drivers license.

The tourist did nothing to harm Thai tourism. His revelations about the lack of maintenance is what hurt tourism. Let's get our facts straight, and be man enough to stop deflecting blame.

No. Of course not. But, he is the only one in recent Thai history who has done anything to benefit the common man. The goodwill from that cannot be over estimated. Universal health care represented the first time many Thais had access to health care that did not cause bankruptcy. What has the current crop of goons done for the people lately? It is always a choice between inferior choices in politics. Prayuth or Prawit are hugely inferior to even Justin Bieber.
