Thanks for the input. I had true before and was not pleased with their service. I'll pick up a 1 month 50 baht at the airport and then get a 1 year later. Perusing a bunch of threads here shows a monthly sale on 9/9, 10/10, so hopefully there will be one on 11/11.

One more thing I neglected to add, which carrier has the bsst service around Pattaya?

I've been away for too long and my Thai sim card has expired. Flying in in a couple of weeks and need long term internet, 6 months or longer. I will be using my phone as a hotspot when in my residence. I see two issues, 1 being that I need a phone as soon as I get in, and the other is the long term unlimited. Should I pick up a tourist sim at the airport and then order an additional sim on lazada or elsewhere, or can I get a reasonably priced unlimited sim at the airport? From what I've seen the lazada prices are much better than the airport prices. Please correct me if this is wrong. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Lightyears are a measure of distance, not time. Reminds me of Hans Solo in starwars when he said he did the run from xxxx to yyyy in zzz parsecs. Parsecs are distance too. They must have done it to show Hans wasn't so bright.

Just took a look at the first 2 episodes of Shantaram which recently dropped. Looked like it might be a bit cheesy but I'm quite impressed so far. Almost feels like you're watching a movie. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429087 A heroin addict incarcerated for a robbery escapes prison and reinvents himself as a doctor in the slums of Bombay; his ties to the crime underworld there lead him to Afghanistan, where he partners with a mob boss locked in a battle with Russian criminals.

Sorry, no lineup for business class. You're still 9n the back of the bus?

You missed my point. I don't care if it's the cheapest onward flight, as it will be canceled shortly anyway. It's a valid, temporary ticket that satisfies all the requirements and costs absolutely nothing. You do need a credit card, of course. And as I said in my first post, some people are dense...

People are so dense about this topic. I've flown in with a return scheduled 6 months later. Occasionally the airline requires a return/onward ticket within a shorter time period. If that happens, I leave the counter, book a flight on Expedia where you have 24 hours to cancel for most flights(indicated when you select a flight), and return to the counter and proceed. After I'm through there and at the gate, I cancel the Expedia flight. No costs, no problem. And if immigration asks, you now have the canceled Expedia ticket to show. I do show up to the airport an hour earlier to allow enough time to do this if necessary.

A good example of why one should rent, not buy a condo. Much easier to get out of this kind of situation. You obviously need to move. Hopefully it won't cost too much to extricate yourself from this situation.

Is that a fetish now, like scat?

I had a 2011 650r. These bikes are notorious for having to replace the bearings in the front shocks. When I sold mine the purchaser found the steering very stiff and we split the cost of replacing the bearings(2). As the deterioration was very gradual, I had never noticed it myself. So what exactly did they want to replace? The bearings? The whole fork?

So you have been being robbed for 10 years so everyone else should be robbed too?

One trick a cardiologist told me years ago when I would get dizzy when first standing up is to rock your feet a few times before standing up. This means keeping your feet on the floor, raise your toes a few inches, then lower them. Then do the same with your heels. Cycle those a few times then stand. It actually helps.

No, blood pressure drops with age, all other things equivalent. However, if you have other conditions that raise blood pressure, that may cause the rise. General consensus is that it's better to have a slightly elevated heart rate in the elderly. Bad luck for me with mine dropping. As for consistency of rates, they vary tremendously throughout the day. Best to take yours at the same time daily. For the OP, are you drinking lots of fluids(non alcoholic)? Dehydration can be a cause of low BP.

I used to have to take 3 medicines to control my blood pressure. Now I'm down to none. As you age your heart becomes weaker and therefore provides less pressure, so of course you will require less pills. My drop from 3 medications to none was over 20 or more years. See a doctor for advice, but if your pressure is low all the time I'd bet the doctor would agree and will reduce dosages and maybe even stop some. Good luck.

As I said, have a few more drinks then it's OK.

Essentially a British version of Gilligan's Island, if you like that kind of stuff. I need to be drunk to watch it.

Sept 11th is the best day to travel. I've done many flights from North America to SE Asia on the 11th and the flights were relatively empty. Very easy to find 3 or 4 empty seats in a row to lay down on sleep. Wonderful...

Sounds like the delusions that happen to people that do too much meth. I've seen a few in this state and it's not pretty. Listening at the door of their hotel room and hearing voices in the hall. I open the door and show them no one is there and they still don't believe it.

Don't forget all the people dying from opiods...

I've had a couple of these safes, not necessarily leeco brand. The quality of the electronic keypad was extremely poor in both cases and they both stopped working within a year or so. Thankfully both came with backup keys(like door keys) and I could use those instead of the keypad.

I can't believe that you mentioned 5-star restaurants and buffets in the same sentence. There aught to be a law...

The first 2 episodes of the second season of The Capture have dropped. I found season 1 to be exceptional. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8201186/

I have had similar occurrences. One was a white guy who started talking to me while we were sitting at a bar eating breakfast. All the same questions as i the OP. He was clearly looking for a newbie so he could feel like a god when he doled out his wisdom. He soon figured out I knew more about I knew more about what was going on than he did and left me alone. Interestingly enough, I rented a townhouse in the area and one of my neighbors wouldn't do anything without approval of the breakfast bar guy.

They have the capability. The voice request(and all other noise in the room) is passed from your alexa to Amazon servers where it is processed. They don't necessarily record it all but could. I worked for a telecom equipment provider way back when and occasionally had the need to visit telephone switches. The workers routinely listened to juicy conversations, without the involved parties being aware. The few I heard were interesting. First thing I do with any new device is disable the voice search capabilities.
