manufactured in Thailand, tested and quality controlled in Thailand; humm. 

No idea what the OP is talking about.  Using proper English would help.

Should????????????????????

for 'should' read 'may'.

OP, In all the companies I have worked for, a work e mail could not be used for personal use, on pain of disciplinary action. It could open the company to all kinds of fraud, or misrepresentation.

OP said "an IPad type"

Probably means a tablet computer.

 

OP - we got a Samsung Galaxy brand new from AIS in the fall for 7000 THB

Full warranty. Not all the bells and whistles but does all we wanted a tablet to do.

WIFI and SIM card

My Samsung 32 GB pad was 5,000 Baht in Tukcom Pattaya, its just as good as the Apple I pad it replaced, if not better. WiFi only  as that was all I need 

I bought a new Vios in mid 2017.  I have little to no idea how it works and frankly I don't care,  It works and that's enough for me. No idea what CVT means and again, I don't care.  Its a great little car, I get it serviced at Toyota every 10,000km. It has now done 80,000km.  apart from a slipping fan belt, which was fixed in 15 minutes at Toyota, it has given me zero problems.

I have zero expectations as I already know very well that the U.S. Embassy wouldn't bother to urinate on me if I were on fire (see income affidavits.)

same for the UK embassy.  In Fact, I have a feeling that they would throw petrol on the fire to get rid of the inconvenience of having any of their citizens disturb their cocktail party existence.

One thing is for sure, you have the best and the brightest minds of all the governments around the world. 

what?  How did you ever come to that conclusion? 

Yes, miss it a lot, but up at the front end, not in the cabin, that I can well do without ever doing again.

You seriously don't know that when you blast a stool laden anus with a jet of water, particles of said stool deposit themselves on anything within a few inches?

 

You're fine as long as you wash your hands, but don't be so silly as to not think that stool goes everywhere that the water goes and then some.

The water jet method of cleaning yourself is inefficient( for the reason you rightly point out) unsanitary, unhealthy and just pain stupid.  In addition,  if the Thais ( for Thais add at least the Spanish, Portuguese and Greek, and probably many other countries) had better waste water systems, with proper size bore pipes and adequate water pressure, they shouldn't have to resort to <deleted> filled tissues in a bin. 

I am yet to find one toilet hand drier, in a public toilet,  in all of this country, that actually works for more than 3 seconds, or indeed  works at all. 

OP, don't.

Rental values have bombed in all the tourist areas, for example, just today a friend has rented out his 2 bed house with a garden and pool for 7,000 Baht per month on a year rental, even at that low rent he feels  lucky to have found a tenant at all.  Many thousands of condos are empty, just in the Pattaya area.  if you have money you just don't care about, then I guess its a good time to buy, but in my view its about as far from a sensible  'investment' as you can get.   No doubt there will be contrary views that come your way on TVF.

Have you entered the Kingdom since fingerprinting has been mandatory?

The temp app may be linked to government data base with fingerprints interface?

 

since when is anything linked to anything in Thailand?  It must be one of the least interconnected societies in the modern world. Multiple apps for everything, that ask for the same information and don't talk to each other.  A stand alone Immigration system that doesn't talk to any other department. Hospital registration systems that are confined to one hospital. Reams of nonsensical paperwork that should all be on computer.  No chance

Except they wont let you self isolate !  they will march you off to a Covid internment camp for a forced 2 week "holiday"

not to mention the  shoving of cotton buds so far up the nostril to almost  cause a lobotomy ????

exactly right.  There is no incentive to get tested, just in case. 

depends on health and mobility. If I have all my brain cells and I was mobile, then sure.
