  1. IMHO it is a low number . Not been to Samui long time , but knowing the island was dead during covid , a rise of 66% vs 2022 where there were still measures along , is pretty low.
  2. Common knowledge , immigrants go for the easiest money , the closest to home . Now in case of Latin immigrants , Mexico is a good base , as it serves the same language and is a lot more hassle free then US . However money is more abundant in US , so it is still a choice between the 2 . For Asia it is a different matter . China is a dragon , it is huuuge , and some have tons of money . The dragon however does have some growing pains , which leads to very small feet to stand on . Evergrande just went into bankruptcy. It does drag some investors out much further then Asia , since many cash is directly or indirectly related to it. Thailand is a prime victim , since many investors are Chinese and family related and also , money in Thailand is also nicely flowing ( Thailand is after Singapore the biggest/best economy in SE Asia). This all relates to Thailand being vulnerable to China , and now its weakening performance.
  3. In my opinion depends on the crime committed . This has to be in a different trial , where a group of judges will see the facts and will act on the crime done .For example , a death by accident , can perfectly be normal young behavior but with unfortunate outcome. A murder can be also , depending on the context , like a adult murder is also trialed and also different outcomes can be there . Some things are clearly wrong at any age , in any circumstance , in this way , it is clear that it should be treated as adult .
  4. That is the type i got also , it lasts about 5 years before the bladder is broken or simply the pressure is gone . Now there is a replacement on which has got a valve so you can pressurize the bladder again ( if it is not broken).
  5. If the connectors are the same , and the pressure is the same , it will be ok . I would say even more , it is better . These tanks are for you to have a more constant pressure and also for the pump not switching constant on/off because slightest pressure difference. The bigger the tank , the more the pressure is "regulated" in your system . In case the pressure of the bladder in the tank is different , then it might be a problem , but not a very big one. It won't operate 100% as it is supposed to do with the normal pressure from the pump diagram. Since these tanks and housepumps are quite similar in end pressure (large difference in flow) i would expect no issues. Connectors being different , no issue , unless you cannot find the correct connectors to put the pump and bladder tank together. In short , a bigger tank is better...
  6. I still think if your country is in the DTA (double tax agreement) then you should be ok . How they gonna check on all of this is a different matter ( what kind of papers are needed and when?).
  7. I did visit Bangkok again in November after years . The smells still are bad , yes , many many smells ... Now , comes to the pot , or marihuana or similar , well that was very present also . Going out at night around Sukhumvit was basically horrendous for the smell of pot , along with all the other smells , which were always present during the years.
  8. Why no longer " Made in Europe" ?, because governments didn't/don't like it . All manufacturing had to leave and the few now which remain , are facing huge bills because of CO2 exhaust . They do not want them either . If they are Made in China , governments do not care at all .
  9. I did a border run 2 weeks ago . Friendship bridge crossing stamp out of Thailand , Stamp in to Laos , including 1 picture and 1700 baht , stamp out Laos , into Thailand , done . Go with 35 baht bus to Laos and 30 baht bus back . All done in +/- 40 mins .
  10. Total lack of quality ? There is a lot in Thailand and yes you can find ultra luxury resorts , however , all the rest of the country is not up to the same level .
  11. Ok , i can understand that , but what has it got to do with 90d visa ? Are Afghan or Iran people also given 90d visa ?
  12. You enjoy your music as how you want to enjoy your music . Are there better thing out there , maybe but you are still the one who listen . Once you come to a certain lvl , the differences after become much smaller . You are now in the so called audiophile area and basically everything goes. Imho , if you like it , ok , if you do want it even better , look around , but do not keep chasing shadows . 1 person likes B&W other likes KEF and another likes Triangle ... all are right , it is all personal choice .
  13. Basically no , If you come through any border legally you do get a stamp for X amount of time . After that time you are illegal and having crossed the border with stamp or without , is about the same thing. There is 1 difference , which is being impossible to leave due to hospital admission or similar , which can make it impossible to leave at the time you are supposed to leave .
  14. Well , the sun doesn't shine 24h a day , so it is much closer to 3 months . I think we not see these cells within the next 5y for sure . Also , 50% more efficient doesn't mean you do get abundant. Record for them right now is 24% , that is better then well used techniques , but with present day stability in mind , i'd rather stick to less efficient but ultra long living tech .
  15. I am in favor of EV cars , but for fossil fuel companies it does not mean anything and neither it does for nature/earth . Most of the fossil fuel is not used for cars , it is used for all kinds of stuff , from plastics over paints , from medicines to herbicides fertilizers and so on , but also for food preservatives to dyes to well just about anything you got including all the technology used in EVs and the computers and phones you working on . Not to forget , many electricity for EVs is made by fossil fuel . That being said , any diesel car can run on biodiesel , made out of fat and oil waste . The greenwashing has no benefit , in fact if people do know the facts it will rather put them off then going for it . Buy EVs for silent and much better engine performance . Given all the rest of the car would be the same a EV does outperform any fuel based engine thx to it's superior torque/power . Now EVs are not the same like ICE cars , as batteries might be a problem , but you can charge at home , which is nearly impossible (the biodiesel part) for ICE cars. Sure you have to count in solar panels but it can be done fairly easy . ICE cars are adult , but have many parts which can break and trying to work on any new car is just about as impossible as on EV , which is still a new tech and got some child diseases .
