So I employed a Thai plumber ...
I have lived in Thailand for more than thirty years and consider myself to be extremely blessed to have never had to endure all of the horror stories I continually read about on this forum. -

Its too expensive I may leave
Quick web search shows cheapest 6 inch subway (plain ham) is $8 in Australia. From memory, couple of weeks ago I was paying around 110 baht or $4.90 at Jomtien subway (today's ex rate 22.3), but cheaper if you get the sub of the day. Nearest I'll get to real Thai food. Of course, as others have already pointed out, Thailand is hugely cheaper for the things that really count, such as housing and services. I paid $270 in Oz for an electrician to change a light switch, 2 minute job (he gave me a $30 discount as I'm retired). Paid 120 baht, or $5.40, for a lady in Pattaya to fix the soles of my sandals, over an hour's work, and my apologies to some here, I tipped her 80 baht.- 1

Thai High-Risk Groups Urged to Get Covid-19 Boosters
There I do agree. I was and remain anti-lockdown. IMO, lockdowns should have been advisory for vulnerable people with the rest of us able to make an adult choice. But then would the health services have coped? (Rhetorical question, obviously) No my point was, without the vaccines, the rates of Covid infections would probably have continued rising, and the governments of the world would have kept us in enforced lockdown, and all the other restrictions with which we are familiar. And yes, I chose to be vaccinated (nobody forced me) and as I said above do NOT regret that choice. -

Understanding Prostate Cancer: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
An infection of the bladder which was affecting the prostrate, the gland according to the doctors was benign and the 2 tablets I have would keep it in check. Every year with annual health check up a PSA test is done to keep an eye on the prostrate and I would encourage everyone to have this done, my full check up costs about 1100 bts, the PSA alone is 400. -

Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
You're kidding me? Just roll over, and file a tax return, 'cause THE RULES say your assessable income says to, even 'tho no taxes are owed? Yes, they say you might have to pay 2000bt if you don't -- in the very unlikely scenario you somehow show up on a TRD radar screen. And, the fear mongering you're mainly responsible for, namely, to somehow being scared for being subject to ten years of back audits. Jeez, talk about what any empty hole that would find, with everyone claiming "remitted next year," under the old rules. So, you're saying we're all supposed to get in line behind you -- obey the rules, and file a tax return. Sorry -- as a disruptor of your misguided guidance -- I'll just say: barf burgers.- 1

I don’t trust the IDF. They are shameless liars. Probably exaggerated or not true at all. -

It's still probably safer in Israel than Thailand and the toxic air that kills countless each year.
