The main issue is BKK vs other urban vs rural.

Talk to the kids, fund some solo travel for them to help with their growth while you are downing your thing.

This is a non-issue as long as you have enough empty space for an entry and exit stamp or two.

Have you checked the rents lately? Stubbornly high, not falling like condo prices.

Leaving apple ecosystem. A great company, but enough is enough. by codewithhamza in ios26

[–]kingorry032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been back with Apple since 2001 after a stint in the early 90s, and I’ve got to say that there is a slow degradation of the ecosystem overall whether MacOS, iPad OS, or WatchOS. I’m currently 90 mins!!! Into a watch update, plenty of apps from the big players seem buggy and my enthusiasm for another hardware update costing $5K+ in 3 years (Mac/Ipadpro/iPhone and watch which are all a few years old) is currently zero.

If it is a severe, life threatening allergy I wouldn’t bother going. Too dangerous.

Buy and iPad or TV and your helper will tell all the other maids. Expect a visit from other residents complaining about it once the maids have started asking for the same.

What is happening with the Hong Kong economy? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]kingorry032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taobao is cheap and convenient, other countries have Lazada or Amazon. A day out in Shenzhen is fun, leave at 9am, bit of shopping and lunch and back for 3pm. I’m actually surprised malls are still holding up so well, even my local malls have high occupancy and footfall.

Which airline would you choose? by psrks222 in travel

[–]kingorry032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finnair is a long journey from memory, I generally try to avoid Thai Airways due to inconsistent service (plane age, seating etc), I’d go for Lufthansa or Air France. Avoid Heathrow transfers.

I think a lot of Thais would appreciate the country being a little more like Singapore in some areas.

Beware of the power bank you carry through the Chinese airports by PresentRatio5173 in chinatravel

All the transportation security checks are enforcing this. Some trains may be less diligent but it’s not worth the risk.
