  1. if you have a AIS phone number, you can get disney hotstar+ for 35 baht a month.
  2. yeah. it's bad. people are suffering. they have these food lines where dozens of people wait in line for free food. I've seen the lines near bali hai, soi buakhao. once near big c pattaya klang. I see the desperation in their eyes. they haven't become hostile yet. but if this pandemic keeps going, eventually...
  3. I saw this little pharmacy on sukhumvit soi 15. across from the closed down hooters. one of those green places. 5 self test in a pack for about 1300 baht. you can buy one self-test for about 200 baht.
  4. I've been to most places in southeast asia. after many years of exploring I chose thailand. it's a personal thing. that said, everybody is different. if you are really serious about coming over and retiring over here somewhere, I suggest you spend some time in each place to find out which place is right for you. I've been living overseas now for close to 24 years. happy.
  5. yes. https://thailandintervac.com/
  6. maybe instead of holding the water, allow it to work it's way to the ocean naturally via canal. build a platform above the canal for people to move around. something along the lines of what they have in chinatown bangkok near the megaplaza mall.
  7. buddha.. the more you want, the more you suffer. so, to achieve that state of "empty" mind, try to eliminate all desire. the less desire you have, the more content you are. gambling, drinking, whoring, smoking, drugs, etc. these are things that make you happy for a short time. but actually cause you pain in the long run because you become addicted to the behavior. I am still a long way from achieving nirvana. but I can see that I am much further up the ladder then many others. my problem is I like accummulating material things. pack rat. I envy people who can live with nothing more than what they have in a backpack. and are content with that. I know a couple of people who have reached that level. the closer you get to nirvana, the easier it becomes for you to recognize it in others. it's all in the eyes. where the eyes of a dead fish are cloudy, the eyes of someone aware are sharp. when you look in their eyes, it's like you can see through them. an endless hole.
  8. oh. forgot to mention. received the pfizer vaccine.
  9. I registered with 3 hospitals via expatvac. the first hospital was bumrungrad. after successfully registering, the system said I would get a response within 3 days, that response never came. so, I then tried registering with medpark. after successfully registering, the system said I would get a response within 24 hours. on the 24th hour, I got a text saying my appointment was approved for the next day. just for insurance, I still registered with another hospital. one on sukhumvit soi 24. I never did get a response from them to this day. but then, it didn't matter anymore. ..medpark did. so, I went to medpark not expecting anything. was surprised at the vip treatment I received. in and out within 45 minutes. 15 minutes for paperwork and the jab. 30 minutes for the waiting period to make sure no negative response to the jab. I'm scheduled for the second jab september 11. I highly recommend medpark.
