How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
I would say "Nuea Pla" for "fish meat" or "filet. เนื้อปลา

How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
Not that easy as we must learn to define "hunger", and to make the difference between "being hungry" for real, and "time to eat". And your brain is not your friend here ...

How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
Some good advises in this thread. To make it short, it is time to understand how your body works, why you are "hungry" at fixed times, what is making you getting fat, where does running/exercise get their sugar from (Blood, Liver, fat cells or muscles)... and so on. Learn and listen to your body, not your brain which is only asking for sugar. The reasonable answer is to prepare your own food, as the subject was specific of Thai country. And yes some restaurants, mostly foreign ones, will listen to your specific needs. The mai pen rai culture in Thailand does not help to respect your needs on a long term basis. Get away from any form of sugar (99% of 7/11 products), push on vegetable / meat. Learn how to eat. Always do your workout before eating anything, then you will use your fat (if you don't go fast). Fat burning is low level cardio, a smartwatch can help you. Then you will burn ketones ! Two last things : 1 - eat your calories, NEVER drink them ... 1 apple is better than 1 (real) apple juice. Tea/Coffee/Water are your drinks ! 2 - never eat your carbs "naked" ... Begin (or mix) vegetables, good oil, or even meat, then carbs will act differently on insulin. Organic food will multiply the good effects. Good luck ! Easy to loose 10-15kg in 6 months.

NETA V - Have any members got one?
It would be nice to elevate the discussion. 😉 Everyone has the right to buy/look/ask/love/hate or not EV ... we had this fights years ago for Gazoline vs Diesel .. Actually, for a "cheap" EV , without taking too much risk (too much investment), I think Neta is number one but I am new to this. I saw also MG EV4 (new model) but this is off topic. Neta V2 seams better that the first one (just watched a road testing on Youtube) ... Anyone got the Neta X ? Also, what is a offpeak TOU meter ? Do we have to pay for it ? Can we install in any house ? Thanks

NETA V - Have any members got one?
Selling old Mazda 2, looking for an cheap EV, and Neta V2 (or X) comes to mind. Is there anyone complaining that when it is wet and raining, we have "fog" on the windows, and whatever we try with air-cond, it is not easy o get rid off... Apparently, people complaining on Thai websites... Anyone ?

Major outage reported by 3bb
Sorry to bump this topic but my international traffic to Europe has been a nightmare for almost a week. 3BB told me there is an issue with the submarine cables ... Does anyone experienced this recently, long connection, time-out, and so on, only on international, both sides (to and from Europe). For information, I am in Chiangmai-Lamphun province.

I need an air purifier for my small studio apt.
Often, prevention cost less than the hospital... Xiaomi has many models, and cheap filter replacement. Also, many foreigners are living, and selling second hand purifier. Changing or cleaning the filter is not that expensive , at least on Xiaomi models. The fan trick works. You can do same for the air-cond (at least just use the fan if money is a problem), and put Filtrete inside. Works also for the cabin air filter in the car ! Good luck

Air-cond : compressor good / evaporator dead
Hi, I have an old air-cond, in a rented apartment... Compressor has been tested and cleaned, it is OK. I had an offer 2 years ago to replace the evaporator by a new one, around 5,000thb ++ (brand Samsung for the old one). I don't find anymore the contact company. Do you know in Chiangmai some companies able to sell and install only this part ? Thanks Phil.

Crypto Trading/Investing 2024 - Zero Taxes if Resident in Thailand ?
Sorry, English is not my native language but, to be sure to understand ... what do you mean by "stablecoins bought somewhere" ... you have bitcoins, you exchange to stablecoins ... you don't "buy" it ... Now if you sold your USDT to USD or even THB ... maybe you occur the tax ... am I right ? Or do you need to transfer to your Thai bank account ?

Return Ticket Within 30 Days Visa Exempt?
Yep , If you arrive in Thailand on March 18, you should live on April 17 max. Change your Vietnam flight to 1 or 2 weeks before ... anyway you will not use it ... or buy another one. This "could" (or not) be a problem at Bangkok Immigration ... Good luck

7 hour stopover - Chiang Mai
Bad air just coming last night, not sure about tomorrow. 20mn / 30mn trip : it all depends ... Cannot be exact. If you have a 7h break, 10mn more or less will not make much more difference. Grab FROM the airport can be "tricky" and maybe not much cheaper. Also, you often have to take it outside. Grap App shows "Drop off only" ... so ...Taxis are on the left, 150thb, and off you go ShangriLa is a nice place and quite easy access to the highway, but outside city center. If you wanna stay there, that's cool.

7 hour stopover - Chiang Mai
With the nice polluted air coming just today, a refreshing indoor place could be more reasonable than wandering in a park/garden ... 😉 Also take care of the traffic on Saturday afternoon near the airport. That's not Bangkok but it can be a little bit busy. Check Google Map 1 or 2 hour before. Maya / Nimman are not far but the city center is also quite close, we are not in Bangkok 😉 150Thb to go to the city from airport. You can take a Grab car to go back. Plenty of massage shops from 300 to 3,000 thb. Enjoy !

Anywhere in all Thailand that has consistently good or reasonable air quality…..anywhere?
You need to be mobile . Except some islands as Samui maybe, far from everything, smoke/dust are moving with the wind. And it depends also from one year to another. I would say, a windy place near the beach, as Phuket or Samui. Smoke can come from Indonesia also in Phuket, which does not affect Samui. But find a good compromise, and be ready to move 2 months during the year if necessary. But yes, humidity and quite clean air is better than dry and polluted air for asthma. So ... islands it is !

Problem inform TM 30 online
Normally yes, you have a mail confirmation. But anyway wait 1 or 2 days, to see if the final validation/refusal comes through ... if you are doing this many days in advance. Screenshot is always a good idea , and check also your spam/junk folder. Phil.

Why do I pay 700 Baht to 3BB when I can use mobile internet for 2000 Baht/year?
But your mobile contract has a limit in Gb/month no ? Limit that normally we don't have on a router (3BB or else) - Also payment via mobile app, confirmed and easy.

Employment ends, non-b visa and work permit cancellation
I think the cancellation of work permit and Visa B extension is done the same day. Can't you have your new visa before cancellation (maybe make a deal with your supplier) ? Just asking ... Also, you should have 7 days if no mistake to leave the country but if you have a new employment, you can try to see how immigration office can help you (maybe giving some extension), good luck.
