Do you owe money?
Well, I'm too old to have interest in creating wealth - I'm very happy with my modest lifestyle. As for discounts, cash back etc, I seem to manage very well at my 'level' of cash purchases. I regularly get discounts in the shops where I go because I speak Thai and have a good sense of humour 🙂 When I buy something, I'll often ask 'loat mai?' with a smile and the price is often reduced. Many years ago, one of my charity enterprises was called 'Xtrer': https://www.24-7pressrelease.com/press-release/143465/if-only-1-of-twitterers-used-xtrer-it-would-generate-more-than-1-million-for-charities-every-month The slogan for that venture was 'A little Xtrer helps', which sums up my view that even a small amount of money can make a big difference in your own or other's lives. I used to buy 300-page school science books in Myanmar (printed locally on the thinnest of paper) for $3, but that small outlay would make a big difference to the studies of middle-school students. Call me a cheap charlie perhaps, but I was once a $ millionaire (doesn't mean much nowadays!), and as times have changed, I have adapted and learnt to live a happy and fulfilling life without the trappings of consumerism. -

Ideas for a low speed room fan?
It's 15 1/2" ... no cage as you can stop it with your hand as it's only a 9 watt motor. not rechargeable as it's plug direct 220v. It's a desk fan that I use 1m away when i'm on the PC, and 2m at sleep. It's a medium breeze I would say. Just now ......... I just checked, and it's at 262 baht now, I paid 157 baht. I don't think I'd pay 262 baht for it though. -

What really grinds your gears in Pattaya
Odd crimes being the reason all these non-Pattaya folk are 'fixated' on Pattaya? I highly doubt that's the reason--although it's true that Asean Now seems to delight in using any Pattaya crime, no matter how minor, as one of it's two lead stories far too often. However, I'll pass your idea along to the Just Can't Quit Pattaya Fan Club and, perhaps, they'll chew on it a bit at their next meeting. Also, an application to the club is on its way to you! -
