Looking at the photo, and out of that make a fair judgement. Hmmm... must have been empty before, then. ????

There was just that 5 minute lull between peak customer turnouts, honest.

In January 2020 I went to Lanna Hospital for the Pacific Cross Insurance medical exam. I was 67 yo at that time. All the tests required, including X rays cost 5,919 baht. I qualified for the insurance with a couple of minor exclusions.

So true ! Assume they are all trying to kill you and you'll usually fair much better.

On the very, very infrequent occasions that I drive at night, I assume all the other drivers are drunk. During daylight I assume all other motorists are on the phone. It's worked well so far after 15 years.

... cat does well too, not so much appreciated if she brings them up the terrace as a present though.

 

(You could always spike their chow with some 5th grade yaba - in old military tradition, sort of - keeps them on the edge and makes for best perimeter watch ever, right up there with the Claymores ...)

 

 

 

Our cats are excellent with snakes, not sure how they would do with centipedes, never seen any corpses around, a few quite large live ones though.

Go to a bar and order a shot of it and pour it in a tiny bottle.....or the small bottles at 7-11 as noted..

 

As someone who has cooked all my life vodka has literally no taste and usually burns off...cant see it affecting a recipe if you skip it altogether......

 

Wine on the other hand...a nice Cabernet in a beef stew...... ????

Go to a bar and order a shot of it and pour it in a tiny bottle.....Very practical solution, take a small container to a bar. Simple and easy as that.

I fail to see how having a beer with a meal raises the risk of Covid transmission. Sitting in a large group drinking for hours could be problematic I suppose. Perhaps a limit of two drinks with a meal would be a reasonable solution.

I'm Canadian as well, but I don't know the rules as well as Ubon Joe. I can tell you that if you have regular income that you can prove at a Canadian consulate, they will issue you a proof of income letter. Take that to immigration you won't have to worry about further proof for an O/A, bank statements in Thailand etc. I have no idea about your dependents though. I'm in Chiang Mai, been here for over 15 years.  Good luck

Well having lived in CM for the last 17 years I think I know about the burning season.

Upset all the Doris have I, Bad boy.

Normally a month to six weeks of bad air so Prachuap suits me.

Chernobyl and China eeh eeh, Go home and support Donald you'll make the difference on his next insurrection.

All the Losers.

I like Prachuap a lot, my wife and I used to go every year. I'm 18 years older than her but a lot more willing to leave the house and go for a little adventure. I sometimes wonder if building a home was a mistake, trying to get her to go out is not easy.

The director-general, nonetheless, acknowledged that there is a risk that the US will increase its dependence on domestically made goods and move away from tax based measures

Every country should attempt to develop local commerce. I would prefer to have a shoe repaired by a local artisan than throw it away and replace it at Walmart.

I'm expecting to win a major lottery, before I was only hoping.

I wonder how many death sentences in Thailand have actually been carried out over the last, say, 30 years ...

This is a pretty good read

Moving the poles even closer to the road dashes a lot of hopes and dreams for a bicycle lane.

I think the only way cases could spread in Chiang Mai would be if Panda delivery drivers were spreading it. Nobody on the roads, in the malls, restaurants or gyms. Seriously I can't see how a lot of people are surviving.

The majority of flights within Thailand are one hour or less. Most come or go from Don Muang or Suvarnabhumi.

I'd suggest if someone cannot survive for one hour without food and/or drink, they have a serious health issue.

My thoughts exactly, longest domestic flight I've taken in Thailand; Chiang Mai to Koh Samui. Duration, I think 80 minutes.

I heard that injecting bleach could kill the virus in, like a minute. lol

Damn, that was my go-to survival strategy
