    Well, that is yours, and it is a rather monastic view of comfort. Some of us like our nests very nicely feathered. And a lifestyle that allows for a reasonable degree of freedom of movement and some luxury. This is an incredibly subjective area. And it is all about what one wants to do, and what one has to do in this life to survive, or live really well.

    Best to not worry yourself with things that are not your issue. It is on the landlord. Means nothing to us.

    It is more woke and weaker than ever. PC is the downfall of society and much of it is driven by the extreme toxicity of social media.

    They can contact interpol all they want. It is likely they will be ignored. They greatly over estimate their own legitimacy.

    The only reason Thaksin is still relevant is due to the spectacularly low quality of the current batch of chumps. Prayuth can switch parties all he wants. He will still be reviled, despised and incapable of leadership. Fresh blood is needed. Youthful and full of ideas. The polar opposite of an extinct dinosaur.

    This is a nothing burger. The subsequent variants are getting weaker and weaker. The numbers in Thailand are far below what you would normally see from the flu. I got it. It was like a mild flu. Let's move on.

    We all have different lifestyles, and some don't require much comfort. Nothing wrong with that. Depends on how much you have to work with. I prefer not to skimp. Like to eat out alot, like to travel alot, and have a younger woman, who needs to be maintained! Whatever works. I am thankful I have enough funds to live very well.

    If you are single, and are a monastic type, as little as 20 to 30,000 a month. If you have a significant other, or like some freedom of movement, don't like to count every baht, and want to enjoy your remaining years, at least 60,000 a month.

    You mean there is a movement to encourage the courts to actually do what they are paid to do, and the same applies to the cops? And favoritism is to be avoided? There is a change a coming. I feel it in the air tonight. Maybe society will eventually compel rational and fair behavior on the part of the most partial institution in the nation. The entirely broken judiciary system.

    Haven't you heard. We are not supposed to engage in comparative analysis on this forum, according to some of the members. Thailand only. Be obedient. Stop the free thinking.

    And it would be money well spent. There are alot of gullible people, who will believe them just because they are not democratic. Like a fashion trend of some sort. Hooray Xi. A hero. LOL

    Yes. I earn $350,000 a year working for the CCP. They are very clever to hire Americans, to disguise their intentions. You couldn't make the stuff up, that I see posted here. Not to mention the "oh so precious replies".

    Those bars may have relocated, but they sure were unable to attract many attractive gals. Even Nana is nearly dead. Most of the good spots upstairs are bereft of talent. A year ago it was better. Not sure what happened. Maybe the hot gals left, when they realized there was no real money to be made. It seems the fake puritans were successful in permanently damaging nightlife in Thailand.

    Nah. Investor sentiment could not be any lower, and the image of the government is that of a tinpot nation, without much respect for the rule of law. And the program would likely have only attracted 6 or 8 investors.

    One can only hope and pray this spectacularly incapable dinosaur is finally given the boot. Perhaps then the trials can start at the Hague. Or he can be deported for crimes against the nation.

    I have always said, punishment for a police officer or an army officer should be more severe, not less. And does anyone wonder why we don't take the courts, the cops and the entire judiciary seriously? It is so bent, it boggles the mind.

    I guess the major concession of one rai was not appealing enough. Another case of grossly over estimating the value of the "center of the universe"? I predicted only 6 applicants. Wonder if that was all they got? As if a rai for us lowly expats would affect anything. It would be barely a ripple.

    Sukhumvit can be a challenge for dining. There is a good Japanese place on the corner or 24/1, that is reasonable and popular. Otherwise, the malls have a good selection of restaurants. Nearly all the good bars on soi 22 are gone. That was a great complex. Sad to see it torn down. The bar scene in Bangkok is greatly diminished. Still a great city, though.
  19. spidermike007
    We can sell you guys rice, shrimp, and many of the Japanese goods manufacturered here and we will buy some oil and dates. Do you guys produce anything else?
  20. spidermike007
    Very Carlinesque. You should try stand up. I would pay to see an expat stand up comic here.
  21. spidermike007
    Yes. I realize that. But, they are referring to the police being heavy handed, and that is a very relative thing for many of us. So, it is relevant from a standpoint of international perspective. It was not a political statement.

    In the US, he would likely have been shot and killed. He sounds like an absolute fool. Though I give the cops here very little reason to harass me, I find them to be relatively easy to deal with, and rarely ever do they overly flex their power like in the US. Some departments in the US are worse than others. Many cops there are drunk with power. Some are here too. But, not nearly as many, and they are significantly less obnoxious here.
  23. spidermike007
    Total fiction. Though a few products might be going up and down, most are going up. Inflation is here to stay for awhile. Though not nearly as bad as in the US, or Europe.
  24. spidermike007
    My suggestion is to implement a law, that carries a penalty that is equivalent to double the prison time a civilian would receive, for any active duty soldier, army official, or police, charged with a crime. As we have recently seen, there are alot of misbehaving fools in those institutions.
  25. spidermike007
    The Cambodian army officials and government officials might be far worse than what we have here. Hun Sen is a madman, a serial killer, a land thief and is despised by his people.
