A GoFundMe is in the offing.

Same old thing.

When will they ever learn?

But doing so seems only on the forum in response to assertions by renters posturing as sophisticates by virtue of flatulence. Nor is that inconsistent with my point about the primary purpose. In my decades of dealing with fellow owners, I've never discussed or heard discussed any plans for profiting from sale of a personal residence. You'll find most will say they that if they ever did sell, they'd hope to break even or thereabouts. You'll sometimes hear the same here from the few owners who bother to wade into the nonsense. But that assumes, as you always do, that they intend to sell at some point. Many, I can affirm, have in fact no such intention: the only way they'll eventually leave their condos is in an ambulance.

Though you've demonstrated the importance of your need to distinguish yourself from the simple folk, the usual pretentious posturing as a sophisticate merely triggers the usual collective yawn. Renters, even living in flophouses off Soi Buakhao, always congratulate themselves on their superior financial management and their wisdom to have chosen their Little Miss Muffet living arrangement. Surprising, isn't it, that, so self-satisfied, they're nonetheless obsessed with owners enjoying living in their condos? Sour grapes, in most cases. Perhaps it would be of comfort if you thought of owners as consumers of condos, rather than as investors. Most, contrary to your convenience, aren't primarily owning for the purpose of investment returns but for enjoyment--and can afford to do so. If you think, as a sophisticate, that you can't--for whatever reason, nobody cares--then that's your little personal issue, and has nothing to do with this topic by the OP.

Or maybe the renters are just a simple bunch content, or forced, to pay rent monthly to a landlord who may cancel their lease anytime. And maybe the owners have a range of investments and can easily afford a potential lost opportunity cost as they no longer pay rent. Moreover, they think it worth it to enjoy having their own place, fixed up according to their own tastes, in a location they prefer. Or maybe not. Maybe your funds will crash this year and leave you destitute and wondering how you're going to make that rent. Meanwhile, owners continue living comfortably, glad they bought when they did. Yeah, owners can play the scary music for you too. 🙂 As you could if you owned the condo. The ANF Little Miss Muffet Rule of Thailand residency is inevitably brought up by the rental brigade whenever anyone dares suggest buying a condo for himself, though it has nothing to do with the renters and nobody cares about them either. Self-reassurance, I guess. Same here. But I've enjoyed a couple of decades in my Pattaya condo now, am very happy I bought when I did, and hope for another decade at least. In all this time, I've never heard an owner say, "Jeez, sure wish I didn't buy my condo!" Nobody's ever desperate to sell and heading for the exits as our renters typically fear monger.

Come to Pattaya on the 11th, stay a week, and find out.

Just the usual type of feed, though topic titles w/ no content would be fine. My reader is set to display only titles. I scan the updated list of maybe 70 and click on any of interest to open in a new tab in my browser. That is, I don't use the reader to read any content. This is the only practicable FAST way I know of to get a comprehensive view of pretty much all the news. I click on a lot of links in the feed I'd never see otherwise. For example, a selection: I don't know which forums were included in the feed before the downgrade. However, these would probably do for just me: Thailand News Pattaya Pattaya News Bangkok Health and Medicine IT and Computers Thai Visas etc Farang Pub General Thanks!

Have we discussed traffic accidents yet?

At their expense? Why should they? If the idiots kept to themselves, no problem. But they don't.

Utter nonsense.

For example, the fun of destroying someone's hearing and attempting to crash his motorbike: Fun in Chiang Mai! Hee hee

Until a few days ago, the feed https://forum.thaivisa.com/rss/ https://aseannow.com/rss/ hit the major forums and yielded a list from them all. Now, the downgrade: there are just individual feeds from the News forums only. Each one would have to be subscribed to. Very annoying change and much less useful. Not gonna subscribed to a couple of news forums only. How about upgrade to what you had before?

The rule is of your own making, not mine. I think gold shop robbery would be most efficient. You could live well on that stolen gold. Me, I seem to have already been caught and punished for all my transgressions. That's partly how I know the laws aren't in fact a joke--for me anyway; you're obviously an exception. We'd all like to know how you make out with your testing, after the hot air. Walk the walk, man.

Seems like your private fantasy. Why not first see what dad says after your friend asks him, if he's not too demented to give a responsible answer. THEN, if dad agrees, come here and get the membership all excited?

What is it about "laws being upheld in Thailand is a joke" do you not understand?

Our CONDO GLUTTERS and CRASH IMMINENT! alarmists have always been a fixture on the forum, counting the ads on the bulletin boards at Foodland and the lights on at night. Maybe you cleaned your glasses recently. Pattaya, at least, has always had a surplus of run-of-the-mill condos. Really desirable condos at an attractive price--that's a whole 'nother market.

You may test out the humor of the joke anytime by freely walking out of a 7/11 with stolen merchandise. Better still, rob a gold shop. Talk's cheap on the 'net.

Oh, you KNOW what our answer will be. The ANF Agent Breast Feeders Anonymous uses that as one of their excuses. In fact, as a friend and I were discussing, Pattaya has a remarkable number of tourists still around. Should be decreasing soon.

Did you look on the Bolt app about applying to become a driver? As you see, nothing but the expected negativity and nonsense here. Yet I'm encountering more and more female Bolt drivers--during school hours. 🙂 I think safe enough. The drivers can choose their customers (see a rating, I think) and destinations, work when they want to.

Page views, my man. Milking them here for all they're worth.

But do you see any elephants on those Rolex watches?

I didn't make that mistake in your case. Nor did I need any "exit." Fond delusion. You wish. Just a lot of hot air. Evidence? You don't actually know that, it just sounds good in your mind. Even so, to me it looks good enough to try, and I would, w/ option to send it back if found unsatisfactory. Nobody cares if you disagree. Besides, that was merely one example of cheaper tablets the OP might look at for himself. In the meantime, you suggested: none! 🙂 Everyone has the option to take your word for that. 🙂 The GUI is part of the advertising, and marketers do that. You haven't seen the actual GUI, dunno what it looks like. Just more hot air. If OP doesn't like the GUI, he can send it back. I don't think about you at all, actually. Are you grumpy again that I pointed out your irrelevancy? OP's worry was about his tablet and 3G/4G. Other issue is many of these older Tablets, (and I may be talking shet here) will be running 3 / 4G? Not an issue as he clearly stated he'd be using wireless. No real need to jump in and expound brilliantly on one of your fave topics, but that was all you had to feel important. Since you introduced confusion unnecessarily, you brought it on yourself, snowflake. But you didn't try one and discover that it's fake or to what extent. Again, if the OP finds it doesn't meet specs sufficiently, he may return it. Were all the good reviews fake? Probably not, I'd say, having found them pretty valid for countless products in the past, but you may know. 🙂 Just blowing smoke. Lazada has a LOT of tablets. Amazon does also. No, you can't know they ALL have modified firmware and so can't recommend any, laughable. 🤣 I think, and usually rightly in such cases, you may need help very soon to exit another of your usual excusing and bickering loops.
