Honda Winner 150
I've been pondering whether a Click 150 engine can be shoehorned into a ZoomerX. Or maybe a hogged out Click 125. -

Wise transfer lost
What's tranglo and where does it get in this mix? A quick Google suggests it's for Thai domestic transactions. So, is it acting as the processor for Thai banks that do not have a foreign corresponding bank? Or what? -

Gold, the undisputed "safe harbor". Or is it?
Never put all your eggs in one basket. In "normal times" the recommendation was usually about 5% of asset value in gold. Many in current abnormal times say 30 to 40%. Gold is not just another commodity. It is money. It is one of only two tier-one assets, the other being the US dollar, which is not money, it is a fiat currency. The dollar is falling in value, which explains some part of the rise of the dollar price of gold. The other being gold demand, so far mostly from central banks and financial institutions. Gold will slip back a bit from time to time but is on an upward trend. Do not buy 'paper-gold', do not invest in gold ETFs, do not invest in gold exploration companies, buy gold mining shares or royalty or streaming shares for leverage in a gold bull market (works the other way when the gold price falls). Store your bullion, allocated and ideally segregated with a vaulting company in a trusted jurisdiction other than your country of origin or of domicile. All markets are cyclic. So look at the cycles. In theory we should be in a commodities bull market, but it is being hit by economic turmoil. Gold can survive a recession, where most commodities will fail. Remember gold bullion pays no dividends; it costs to store and insure it. Look upon it as a form of insurance, rather than profits (although the current circumstances are exceptional). -

If there is no life after death...
Faith is based on what you choose to believe. Not all people are brainwashed into believing either way. Everyone would love to see more evidence of God, but that's what faith is about. He gives you a chance to decide for yourself, and the outcome will be shown when you die. Turning your back on God is the only unpardonable sn, so most of us won't do that. -

Common Roles Foreigners Fall Into in Thailand
Teacher is definitely a grift. Only 10% any good at what they do with another 5% simply not worth firing. 85% total grifters. Worthless Teaching English online is a very sad grift bc it's pretty much outright theft unless payment is simply for conversation and nothing educational -

Wise transfer lost
Wise transfers to Bangkok bank were similarly quick the last time I did a transfer almost two weeks ago. It said "in seconds" and that's how long it took, as usual. Any transaction now is either "within 8 hours" or "next day", depending on what time of day it's being set up.
