  1. Yes. That is likely for the entire complex.
  2. I California, many people walk into Walgreens, CVS, or a similar store, load up a wagon with $900 in goods, and walk straight out the door. The "security guards" do nothing, and the police seem to have very little interest. Further evidence of the breaking down of American society. Crime in America is way up and morality is way down.
  3. I think your instincts are good. Back off. This is one of those rare blessings. You have been warned by providence. Garbage fees are 20-40 baht per month and common fees are included in the rent or paid by the landlord. Make it clear to the agent that you are not going to rent, as the landlord appears to be a scoundrel.
  4. I know that. You made that clear. We both appreciate sports. I was remarking on your statement regarding you know who.
  5. If the Thai people act rationally, sensibly and if the election is fair, I doubt anyone associated with the current party would get more than 5% of the votes. Anutin is toxic and should be the last person in the world, chosen to lead Thailand.
  6. I wonder if this guy has ever heard of an abstract concept, called enforcement? How about siezing their licenses to operate? On the 3rd offense sieze their cars permanently. Problem solved. Word would get around that the cops are actually doing their work!
  7. Very true. They need support from all branches of government and a willingness to spend real money on a network of charging stations. Otherwise, it is all hype, blabber and PR. So far, other than the announced tax breaks, which may or many not be real, and followed up on (see the details of Toyota VS. Thailand, going all the way up to the Supreme Court), with regard to promises of tax breaks that never happened. Resulting in Toyota pulling Prius production here. The history is not promising. The vision thing seems to be lacking. And EV represents progress, which would appear to be the last thing this administration represents.
  8. Whether or not covid is going away is an opinion. One I have. The numbers are dropping worldwide, and each subsequent variant is proving to be weaker and weaker.
  9. I am currently searching. There was alot of news on it, when the Thai govt. started reneging. Toyota sued them, not the other way around.
  10. American police, or all Americans?
  11. What he really meant to say, is that no country talks about fighting corruption as much as Thailand, and is as insincere about it, and does as little to accomplish it, as this place. One has to be good at reading between the lines in a place as weak as Thailand is, when it comes to an earnest desire to get rid of the rot in the system. As he said "some bent leaders were living the life of Riley" abroad on their ill-gotten gains. Let us hope Prayuth, Prawit and Anutin join that group after they are gone from politics, and the extent of their misadventures are uncovered.
  12. The RTP are a national embarrassment and a disgrace. Everyone knows they are all simply franchisees, and perform very little law enforcement work. IMMEDIATELY transferred to the National Police headquarters in Bangkok Sunday (Sept. 18) was the superintendent of Pattaya City police station. Part of the problem? When this guy should be facing charges and looking at prison time, he is being coddled and protected, at full pay. Do they even thing for a nanosecond, that we take them seriously, on any level?
  13. Utter and complete desperation. Anyone who willingly transfers money to a total stranger they have never met, in the hopes of future sex desperately needs psychological counseling. It is hard to feel compassion for this guy, when he defied nearly all the laws of natural selection, and self protection. There are hundreds of online scams. Anytime someone asks for money, that you have never met, use great judgment and 99.9% of the time, just say no and walk away from your keyboard.
  14. Incorrect. Research this. Thailand promised tax breaks to Toyota. They are the ones who broke the promise. Toyota simply followed what they were allowed to do, and then they took the shaft for doing so, with an undependable partner. Now, Thailand is claiming things that were not part of the original agreement. Toyota has been fighting this unjustice for a decade. This is a very bad omen for the future of manufacturing here.
  15. True that. Can you even imagine living a life without an appreciation for sports?
  16. I would give him three days. Some are more fit for this world than others. Live and let live, unless you are seriously constipated.
  17. The numbers are dropping all over the world. There will likely be no need for a vaccine next year. I am done with them. My first booster was my last. No side effects. Just don't need one. Let's move on, shall we?
  18. So, the majority of the world, myself included, who enjoy competitive sports, are brain dead? And those like myself, who enjoy the fine art of boxing are too? I consider men's boxing to be an incredible sport, that requires tremendous skill. Is there a small possibility you are missing something? Is there a possibility you are being a bit harsh in your judgment? Moto GP, F1, men's tennis, NBA, MLB, Premier league, boxing, competitive sailing. All bogus? Only billions of us brain dead people enjoy them? I don't like women's boxing. And I don't like women's tennis, as I consider it illigitimate, due to their unwillingness to play 5 set matches in the slams, yet insist on the same prize money. If that is the case, I will continue enjoying the life of the brain dead. It is very fulfilling. So, what do you do for fun?
  19. Mine is up to. Appears to be around 5.5. Way up from last year. Government sponsored inflation?
  20. There are an infinite number of possibilities, besides the profoundly uneducated and ill informed pronouncement of him being drunk. He could have been feeling lightheaded, fell down, and cracked his head on the hard tile they use everywhere, due to the low cost. Did they check his skull, before saying he was drunk?
  21. Correct. The generals would not know what integrity looked like if it bit them on the butt. Breaking promises is no big deal for them, if they think it is of some benefit. However, like most dinosaurs, they do not have any vision, and they just don't understand the international corporate mindset. They want stability. They want partners they can count on to fulfill a simple promise of a tax break. After this disastrous and unethical judicial Toyota decision, I expect many companies to start looking elsewhere. This will likely cause huge long term damage, and continue the backwards trajectory the nation has been on for some time now. This was way, way beyond stupid.
  22. New bikes are very popular here, due to most people not being able to afford a car.
  23. When I was very young, I experimented with nearly every drug except heroin and opium. Thought cocaine was very boring and very over priced. But, I drew the line at drugs that could cause death. Even as an ignorant kid, that was a line in the sand for me. I guess some do not possess the requisite survival skills, or perhaps do not care about survival. Synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, are now the most common drugs involved in drug overdose deaths in the United States. In 2017, 59.8 percent of opioid-related deaths involved fentanyl compared to 14.3 percent in 2010. https://nida.nih.gov/publications/drugfacts/fentanyl
  24. Culling is the only answer to rid this place of these miserable creatures. Feeding them is not an answer.
  25. There should be a mandatory execution law, for anyone found pushing this garbage. No waiting period. Execution style. See ya!
