Who lives on 20k a month ?
Accurate post. However. I don’t think the 20k a month boys will be doing many of the activities you mentioned. -

Practical experience with outside "security" cameras, PoE and any recommendations?
At least the cameras which I have (Reolink PoE) don't have anything to connect earth. If the cameras are exposed somewhere high, then maybe you should make sure there is some lightning protection. But I guess (not sure) you would need lightning protection on such a place even without camera. -

Who lives on 20k a month ?
Y'all need to consider the OP, sitting on 1M Super, but asking about 20k a month budget. Along with where to live, 3 different places this week, I think. Can I live on 'this much' threads are getting ... maybe 10 or 15 a year, once a month. Own everything, single person, so it's very doable, and think we can agree on that. IF, of course you have no health issues, and an oops fund, as health ins won't be included in that budget, I don't think. What kind of life that is, a bit of a question, depending on variables. We own everything, and our monthly budget averaged ฿16,300 a month. Slight advantage, having Solar. And we eat very good, 95% in house, if not more, and mostly homemade whole foods. Which makes a huge difference. -

Indian passengers turn Thai AirAsia plane into party zone - video
It's a complete nonsensical myth they are bringing in money to Thailand. There was nearly 3 million visitors from India this year, and they are still by person some of the lowest spenders in Thailand, yet makeup a large part of the visitors. A better way to look at it is spend per tourist. Counting how much visitors from a certain country bring into the country is not an exact science, and not a perfect full proof equation. Furthermore, they do have some high end tourists who will spend money, movies shot in Thailand, but they also have some awfully budget visitors - to then average this up and claim Indians spend money is a bad way to look at it. Secondly, you have to look at the impact they have on other visitors and local culture. They are sex pests, and whilst this is tolerated normally ... what they do is bordering on abuse. I have witnessed many of them, in packs hounding a Thai prostitute to give them a discount if she takes the whole group. The vulnerable lady will often agree. It's disgusting. Many female friends refuse to go to Pattaya anymore as Indian men will often see them as prostitutes. It's barbaric. Their view on women is horrific. The impact it has on high end tourists who will not want to go to resorts or destination where the makeup is of massive cheap indian tourists (along with Chinese tourists). No other country has a generous visa policy for Indians than what Srettha Thavisin in his stupid panic for more tourists has given the Indians. Why don't Indians let in Thais visa free? Many other countries are now putting barriers back up to Indian visitors, eg Cambodia and Malaysia. But not Thailand. They will often say 'oh Indians bring so many millions to the economy', negating the fact the volume and negative impact they bring. Pollution, litter, enviromental impact, over staying. The problem will only get worst as more and more will come. You can only assume ex- leaders like Srettha have very little day to day mixing with these types of tourists so they don't care. -

Trump’s big fat abject lie …and why he keeps telling it.
So would you vaccinate your children against measles? Only kills about 100,000 people (mainly young children). And do you use a fluoridated toothpaste?
